I'm about 300 paragon and I've got a decent set of gear, but I'm looking to get a specific set for my DH -- Marauder's to be exact. I'm also looking for a specific ring for my WD.
My question is: what's the best way to farm very specific gear? Just do rifts over and over? Bounties? Upgrade rare items? Blood shards? All of the above?
When I get a piece I want is it worth it to reforge it to try to get perfect or just keep farming til I get the rolls I want?
Sorry if this is a common question, this is my first post and I searched the forums.
fastest way is upgrade rares. also re-roll any useless stats that are on your gear that you don't need. You will have to do the bounty's regardless to get the mats to upgrade the rares so you should still find a few items that way. Use your bloods shards 1 cause you don't want to always be maxed out on them and 2. you still have a chance to get your gear however this method i consider to be the slowest way as there are some many rares and legendary's of each armor type that it can take a while to get gear strictly from blood shards.
To target specific gears; use blood shards, upgrade rares and consider re-rolling legendaries (for ancients).

easiest way to get specific class sets is to play with as many other people of that class in your game and gear share ^^
