I don't know if this was answered elsewhere, but I am really curious if torment only legendaries from kadala include sets? Is it possible for me to start working towards gambling for set items?

Yes

I can confirm that I've gambled Helltooth Gauntlets post-patch.

Am I correct in thinking that apart from the potions and Shard of Hate all the torment legendaries are set pieces?

Were you on a WD I hope?

I was gambling on my WD at the time, yes.

Anyone try the 1h or 2h weapons yet?

While not Torment only, I just got a Winter Flurry from gambling. Should compliment my 2400 DPS Azurewrath nicely.

There are 13 legendary items that are torment only. Not sure what they are though, but blizzard said this number a few times. They have a list somewhere in the D3 forums.

Was this a good change?

Isn't there a risk that this will make the optimum strategy just running endless Normal-mode rifts?

Optimum strat = rift it forward

Remember rifts now reward more shards if completed on higher difficulties.

On Torment II - VI.. guess we'll need to see how much they bump it up, it would have to be a lot for most people to find it more efficient..

Got firebirds chest in a rift on T4, got 75 shards after killing boss, went to kadala bought gloves and got firebirds gloves! Liking the changes right now!

Just did a T2 Rift and got...50 shards. I know there's a range, and I might have rolled on the low end, but still...that's about the same as I could get in T1, only separated into a pile of 42 and a pile of 8. I assume it broke them up that way to clarify that the 8 were "extra" for doing T2. If this is the definition of "extra blood shards", T1 still seems optimal, or even Master, now that you can get set items from Kadala.

Unless you clear torment 2 as fast as torment 1. Myself I have the gear to clear torment 4 rifts in 10 minutes so thats what I play at (after 3-4 t3 rifts I get drowsy) looking forward to not receiving 40 blood shards at the end of it
