Here's a video of the bugged thorns in action. This was taken at 6:43am Asherlol's time and 9:43am my time. As you can see, This was recorded well after blizzard had hotfixed the known issue but because I noticed the buggged thorns way ahead of time, before it went viral, I got this idea that if I created a game right away, if a hotfix were to come than my game (knowing that we had to have someone stay there to keep it open) would not be hit by the hotfix. Surely enough well over 12hours after thr fix was live, we were farming T6 on EZMODE. Hope you enjoyed this small video and got to see what the hype was. Feel free to come and say hi on Asher's aStream at night time, we're always theory crafting, farming, trolling, or arguing with each other. Entertainment Guaranteed
The hype was indeed real but ultimately the demons that haunts us all has had the better of us. Many brethren have been lost in combat today and sacraficed themselves for our future so that we may one day bear the crest of Zakarum and shed light on our foes. On this day, also known as A-Day, the people of Asherlol will once again rise up to the challenge to what may ultimately be our last chance in mankinds survival. So I heed out this call out to the lands of Alcarnus in hopes that you may aid us to victory against the army of sin, greed, lust, gluttony, fear, hate before it is to late. I ask you, to pick up your shields of righteousness and dust off your flails of justice so that we may once again live in peace and harmony before it is to late. The Torments and Suffering shall end once and for all...

Noob friendly community, always willing to lend a hand or answer questions from specific Crusader topics to Lifting Professionaly (Yes you heard right, he lifts bro). Dont be shy and be part of the hype that is Asher.
So it had to end someday. Blizzard has been having server "issues" and people were getting "randomly" disconnected. I was hit by that not to long ago. It was fun while it lasted though. Wanted to thank all of you for joining in on the fun, hope you you guys learned a thing or two of what's to come in T6. This must of been a record breaking event having held an active game up for so long lol. We didn't get that much loot but we did manage to level a few alts to 70 pretty quickly by turning in Rift Cleared Rewards. I got my monk from 60 to 70 and a DH from 33 to 70.
One thing that is really bothering me though and is infact quite alarming was the drop rate. Pre-Patch I was already farming efficiently Torment3 and the droprate already felt weak. My initial thoughts were that it was gonna get better once I hit Torment 4 and above. Boy was I dead wrong. Can't say it was worst but the sheer fact that the drop rate remotely compared to T3's is something quite infuriating. This better be revised quickly by the devs because alot more peole are gonna be hitting T6 and the amount of QQ that is about to blow up is going to be astronomical.
Alot of good came out of this, once I came back to the real world I went back to T3 and having spent nearly 14hours of pure rift t6 farming, the challenge felt like a real joke. Either the Saders were buffed to faceroll status or spending so much time in a place where the mobs were hitting like fucking trucks made me a better player overall. I now manoeuvre more efficiently and chose my time to attack in ways to maximise the maximum damage output alot better than my old tank and spank method and hoping for those big crits to hit. Can't wait to progress but really not looking forward to those drop rates. Hopefully it'll be fixed by then.
So just letting you guys know, when I figured what was going on and knowing how hotfixes work, I made a game on Torment 6 and have yet logged out or left that game. What does that mean you ask? Basically, how the game works is when you create a game you download all the necessary informatioN the game needs such as maps, current skill sets according to patch.... I think you know where I'm going with this... Until the game Kicks me out or server crashes, I'll be farming Torment 6 on EZ Mode.
Also on a side note, but this hasn't been confirmed yet, I can invite other crusaders to my game and to come into my game they have to download my game settings making their thorns broken as well. Tried this with a random guy and he was hitting as hard as we could.
If I can, I'd love to actually keep this game server alive till the next maintenance but obviously I wont be staying 24/7 in front of my pc just to keep it up. Got other shit to do
Lemme know what u think.
For the number junkies out there. I have 541k Thorns. With Iron Skin+Reflective On, I'm hitting for 396million *Non-Crit* everytime I get hit and the highest number I've seen it crit for was 2 billion 994 million. I'm guessing Sanguinery Bracers had something to do with that.
So after logging in and 5 minutes into working out a new build to mesh well with thorns dmg I was pleased to see I was melting elite packs in 5 seconds. Then after I started looking at my numbers only to notice that my thorns had jumped from 24k to a whopping 96k. I got all excited and thought something fucked up in the game so I was weary on changing any piece of gear I had on at the moment nor did I want to leave the game in fear of getting it reverted. Anyways I started examining everything one by one and then I found it. Iron Maiden pre patch was adding 8k thorns but now it's shooting up 80k.
Just for kicks and giggles to the people that likes numbers
Pre Patch : 10million crits with IronSkin Reflective Rune
Post Patch : 90 Millon crits on hit with iron skin on
Prepatch : Every mob hit would output 380k damage every hit
