WD is my last class developed, used to play pet + haunt. Now, I just got the Jade set, but then my DPS is not consistent sometimes high and sometimes low. I'd like to know what is the proper way of plying the Jade WD, in particular, the right sequence in the casting haunt and soul harvest. My player ID on US server is DanielLOSH#1457. Your help is much appreciated.
Disappointing. Monkhasalways been chasing after other classes, and the overall design is rather poor without much imagination.
While upgrading some skills to be on par with other classes, other skills got nerfed. Last time, WoL and MoC got nerfed and only recently WoL got some improvement. 1 dex = 1 armor is just a lazy solution and is what we should have long time ago and it is no better than any other class, but OWE get immediately nerfedto Harmony, whichis rather weak and take a lot of secondary slots to get resist. Solution: Get the design team for WD and Crusader to work on the monk.
Would like to join your community to get crusader gear and learn how to play it.
My crusader just turned 70and can manage T3/T4 with gear from my barb. My concern is that I am at the Asia region, and can I message you tofit inyour playing time as much as practicable? My battle tag is DanielLoSH#1427.
Single player game is fine with 3 leaps, but the leap is not smooth in multi-player games within the 2-sec window of Luc Sock, what is your experience?
Congratulations! You probably got the best TF for monk, high weapon dps, 700+ on dex and vit, socket and good proc for lighting too.
As you have the socket already, there is no hurry to enchant. Just keep playing and see what you need more dps or vit, on top of other gear you now have and you may loot. I just want to say, since you are dual wield, dps on one weapon is only counted half, and vit is global counted fully towards your HP.
I played Mirrorball cold wizard as well, and I used ROF/black icebefore Vyr archon set was rectified in 2.05.
Even with AD, ROF is not strong enough for T4+, and we have to go archon for T5/T6.
As a variation, we can also replace Familiar with Blizzard/relentless winter for 1000+ weapon damage and cold slow effect for a big area, which can be applied systematically to all the mobs in front (never short of AP using MS and archon). It is even better if you use cold blood passive.
Thank Exodus. I have all the frozen items from my cold wizard. Indeed, Frostburns is not a must for cold wizard build as nice Vyr glovesis often a better choice. Of course, the monk has yet to find his fist which is the only item missing for the moment (never start playing monk in RoS). I underestimated the 10% instant kill of minors of Rimeheart as in terms of DPS it is trivial. I think two Rimehearts in a team should be awesome.
Well done dude, and monk can now join the T6 rift sole club! Would like to see how this go with a frozen wizard with Frostburns, Rimeheart/Azurewrath, Winter flurry, blizzard, glacial spike, ray of frost, Tal set for ice meteor, etc.
Yes, my level 10 crusader got it yesterday. My wizard did T1 bounties on act 1 and my young crusader on a second account got it staying in town after say less than 20 bounties. It is only a level 16 ring though and my wizard who did all the kills didn't get anything. My wizard is quite well geared already and would like to have some improvement on her RoRG, and I don't know whether equipping a RoRG will lower her chance of getting another one. I have helped and witnessed quite some new characters to get RoRG in bounty runs, but not a second RoRG for her so far, coincidence?
No, not everyone can faceroll T6. Even with a high mitigation, they play on a hit and run (or on the run) style. Hence, skills have to be simple, effective (always available and hit fairly hard)and versatile.
Both Tal Rasha and archon are very strong builds. However, when you try to get the best from the two worlds, they both become sub-optimal.
You want Tal Rasha proc 4 elements, but all +all arcane damage for archon build.
You wantRCR for Tal build butCDR for archon build.
You have to give up Aughild set and Captain Crimson set which are excellent for archon build.
I have all the pieces for the two builds and I decidednot to have a merge.
While I do agree that the two should probably not be mixed, I disagree with several of your points. Running 4-piece Tal Rasha, you only stack one element, exactly as with archon, and it might as well be arcane. There's absolutely no reason to mix elemental damage ever. Also why on earth would you have to give up aughild to run Tal Rasha and archon? That makes absolutely no sense. Tal Rasha doesn't even have shoulders or bracers and neither does Vyr and you might as well not use Tal head if you have other pieces to get 4-set bonus. Even with Born set andCaptain Crimson, you still don't need to drop Aughild set. But you can of course not have 4-piece Tal Rasha, 4-piece Vyr, Born and Captain crimson. But drop either the Vyr or Captain Crimson/born, and you can have both,
Is it optimal? Probably not, I haven't tried it. But assuming CDR on some gear, you could quite easily go without 10% CDR from Born for instance.
Even though you have the ring, you probably cannot fit Captain Crimson set with Tal set and Vyr set with optimal stats. CDR is the most important stat for achon build and if you're not optimized with it, why care to play archon with Vyr set? Not to mention how to optimize skills/elements for Tal meteors.

Now that the loot system is revamped drastically to allow people to get the BIS items to do T6 in a much shorter time.
This will kill the game in a long run at the expense of short term success for some players.
Blizzard has to come up with something brand new every now and then in a consistent manner to keep people playing.

AS is to be avoided in a channeling spell as your AP will deplete very rapidly, and I think someone has done calculations in this regard.
However, if you use Mirrorball + AD, you have to balance the effective DPS.
