I just have a quick question, I know that this game is 100% reliant on RNGesus, but this is really weird:
I've been speed clearing T6 and then doing GR 27-29, about 10 rifts a day. I haven't seen a single legendary diabo drop since 2.1.2 hit, (I'm looking for insence). I've been burning all my shards on 2H weapons and still no dice, I get annoyed and burn them on ammy's instead hoping for a SMK ammy, also nothin doin'.
So just out of curiosity, and I guess to give myself some encouragement -- did you guys find insence since 2.1.2 hit? And if so, was it a random drop during bounties, rifts, grifts, or shards?
I just got back on my monk since the Sunwuko's improvements of the 2.1.2 patch, I looked up build videos and see everyone spamming sweeping wind and getting their Taeguk's gem stack up and keep it up.
I just got my inna's chest belt and pants for the 4 piece inna's bonus, when I press sweeping wind though my Taeguk's don't trigger!
Ideas anyone? What I was thinking was:
1. Currently my Taeguk's is only lvl 18 so maybe it will trigger after I level to 25?
2. Maybe I have too much spirit regen so the 5 spirit it cost doesn't register? When I look at my spirit bar it stays 300/300 when I spam sweeping wind...
Thank you for explaining the playstyle, I tended to just blizzard everything, black hole if I could and pop hydra on top of the mob if i could, then run around casting blizzard when it runs out. (Not efficient at all, I know).
So for quick gear upgrades, better ammy, strong arm's, better weapon (which? outside of furnace?), and better rings. Sounds about right?
I don't quite think I'm playing the firebird build right. I've been treating it like a Jade WD with haunt, just hit and run away and enemies will eventually die (that's not been working out, to say the least). I don't quite know when enemies have their full stacks of fire on them or what's the quickest way to stack.
She is tanky as hell and I rarely die with her due to her 2 revives built in, but the dps is where I'm lacking (and also how to do damage with this build). Would appreciate any help.
Thank you! I know my gear is lacking a lot but I wanted a general idea of what to hunt for in order to progress. Right now I can do T6 but its taking me like 18 minutes... not ideal. In seasonal I have around 225 paragon currently, I dumped all of that in CDR but that seemed less effective than dumping all in CHD first.
So, ideally things I need to hunt for: 1. Leoric's with socket and CHC 2. Better rolls on my boots for phalanx damage, better unrelenting phalanx (the one I have is very poorly rolled) 3. Bracers with % phys and CHC (this is fairly easy to do at least) 4. Ammy with % phys, cdr or CHC/CHD and socket (pretty damn hard to find), ring with CDR
To condense a previously long thread which for some reason didn't post... basically finally got 5 piece akhans + rrog + Leoric's crown, and am running into these issues:
So after a lot of grinding I finally got 5 piece Akhan's and rrog! Except... the results are less than spactacular. I don't even have anything close to perfect gear, (certainly not optimal and I don't even have enough gems to get all royal rubies yet) but I'm having a TON of problems with damage, still have surviving issues, and resource regeneration is still a big problem. If I go embodiment of power instead of prophet my survivability suffers, and prophet I cant spam ponies. And even when I can, I seem to be hitting with pillows in T6.
With regards to the legendary gems, I just stuck in whatever I thought looked interesting, I know bane of the trapped is preferred but I threw in starweaver's just because, and wreath of lightning because hell why not. This is probably incorrect.
If you guys can point to things I can improve (there are lots!) to do Grift 30+ and eventually get to 35+, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Well my gear is "ok" overall, the biggest thing I need right now is rucksack, the Etyru would be a big help too those are the 2 upgrades I'm shooting for. They haven't dropped for me unfortunately so I'm stuck farming shards...
I'll grind some T4 then, I can clear that in 5 mins no problem, thanks!
I was going to write a detailed account of the gear road block I come across but in short: RNGesus isn't with me, Kadala is evil, and the cold sentry build better not be a thing of the past by the time I get my bow and quiver...
Anyway! The point of this thread:
T1,2,3,4 I can finish anywhere from 4 to 6 mins. T6 takes me 10-12 minutes. I get 55-65 shards on the lower torments by breezing through, 95-105 shards on T6 but it requires me to be somewhat careful and think.
Simple math kind of indicates I should just grind the lower torments, but I think T6 has a higher leg drop rate than T3 (not sure if it is significant). Which is better?
I don't really don't like the idea of saders to be pidgeon holed into one build like the DH sentries. The condemn build with BoP + condemn shield and 6P akhan looks incredible in comparison to the other build choices,
I had big hopes for the Roland's set but the more I research it the less viable it looks. Sad face.
So I've first seen Mannercookie talk about this build (but he never got around to making a build video for it), and I wonder if it is because he didn't have the gear or it was sub-optimal. It's a very neat idea and I wonder if anyone tried it?
The build I am talking about:
Key Gear: 5 piece roland's + tasker and theo gloves + unrelenting phalanx + RROG + Mortal Drama,
Key passives: Heavenly strength, Lord Commander, are the two main ones. Towering Shield/Wrathful/Finery/Something else for the last 2
The point of the build is to hit the enemies with shield bash and get the +20% attack speed, so that the phalanx bowmen absolutely SHREDS everything with the AS bonus from tasker and theo and however much AS bonus we get from hitting mobs.
My DH is my least geared toon (only T3 viable at the moment) but for my crusader and monk, I got almost all the set pieces from gambling and rifts (GR for some reason seems to drop more set pieces than regular rifts -- but that may be observation bias).
That being said, the only marauder piece I have is what a friend dropped for me during a rift, so maybe marauder's is particularly stingy?
Even when 2.1 hits unless they nerf the hell out of it, I think most builds we use today will still be viable. The point of 2.1 afterall is to give more build diversity!
Thank you for the link it's very helpful! It would be awesome if we can sticky a thread with the most common end game viable builds, or at least update the builds section in the forum here...
I got 5 of my classes to be T4 viable but I feel like the current builds I'm running is not T6 viable. I'm not aware of what the current T6 builds are for each class and which are the most efficient. Would someone mind linking me to a thread or preferably listing the end game builds for each class? I'm least interested in DH but play all other classes

EDIT: Hmm still running into some issues when I pop Epiphiny maybe need to reduce RCR to 0%...

To condense a previously long thread which for some reason didn't post... basically finally got 5 piece akhans + rrog + Leoric's crown, and am running into these issues:
1. Here is my profile, please have a look and try not to face palm at my gear:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Jester-1386/hero/51933821
2. I'm having trouble with DPS, (I'm barely doing any DPS).
3. I'm having major wrath issues if I use prophet, if I switch to embodiment of power I'm having survivability issues
4. I don't have 100% uptime on akarat's champion. How can I get 100% akaarat's upime, and is it even needed?
5. What legendary gems should I use? I just randomly picked any and it worked fine pre akhan's, now in T6 it is underwhelming.
