no. crit > mainstat. if your soj gets 6cc/50%chd, 500 primary stat, 20% ele dmg, 30% elite dmg the answer would always be to reroll the primary to socket and keep cc/chd. easiest way to test this is always with paragon points to see for urself.

I remember when the best items dropped in act 4 so I would go teleport near diablo in inferno and talk to kul or w.e npc there was so spawn one purple taggd monster which i would die to and farm over and over just to get an OP blue sword to sell lol. Its funny to look back and remember getting excited over one blue item. My friends would all be jealous of my drops and be like "man how u farming inferno act 4? tht shits impossible!" but i was just playing cheesy AF



im sooo happy we can actually find our own gear now. instead of finding someone elses BIS seling on ah, and buying your own gear. Pretty broken mechanic but i gotta say the d3 RMAH and gold ah taught me alot about investing and flipping for proffits. also how to observe trends in markets which ive been able to apply to the real world and gain from.

Diablo and skill Kappa. There is no skill in farm fest dude.

wrong. there are MANY better players than you out there. you know why they're better? because they have more time!

*fixed.

I have been wondering this aswell. On my hardcore DH i havent been lucky enough to get any unity's so ive been maxing out solo at around gr 32. ive failed the timer on lots of 32's for having to wait out awareness procs due to jailer affix. on grift 31 jailer takes me to like 10% hp on gr 32 takes me to liek 2-5% hp, so if I get hit by anything first (thunderstorm) then jailer its gg. also I got very unlucky and got perdition boss on gr 32. his teleport would 1hit proc awareness and even with me staying close enough to watch his animations and holding down vault when they start 9 out of 10 times i would still get hit and proc. So as hc dh im running into alot of walls because of jailer. if I got a good countess julias i think gr 30-33 would be a cake walk except for perdition boss lol.

and if anybody cares my toughness was like 14m when I did those. (its lower now because of some high dps drops, now I need to get more toughness somehow, I dont think my 440k hp can survive w.o 1shots in gr 30+

@ futility

Sounds like some bad rng to me. I was able to get my first rorg within 25 minutes doing 12 normal a1 runs the second i hit 70. as for my lucky dh friend it only took him 6 cachs to get it after he hit 70 too.

so just a little RNG comparison. I made my friend start a seasonal HC dh with me and so far he has like triple my luck. in his first 20 hours of playing he got sentry rucksack, m6 set, ice climbers. at that point i had 40 hours and i only had 3 pieces of marauder. flash forward now i have 64 hours he has 30, in that time he found 2 krider shots! drops that I have never seen in my 1500 hours playing d3 he gets in a little over a day of play time lol. BUT I have been blessed with a TnT drop, albeit a low roll with no vit or crit hit dmg. now its at the point where i just get to leech off his crazy luck haha, hes helped me complete my m6 and given me his 2nd kridershot. woot for luckyfriends/lootshare

I think everyone needs to follow charlie sheens example with this challenge and str8 donate cash instead of just raising vocal awareness, but directly contributing to the cause as well.

I seem to remember something along the lines of a tmog and a dye being a seasonal quest reward.

It's something I would welcome especially with the intro to greater rifts (as long as they wouldnt be mandatory in clearing a lvl 100 grift like the current state of those already super rare legendaries rimeheart/furnace) but i'm not expecting/very hopeful they will give us a tier beyond legendary. I think it would be cool if you had to acquire a new tier of legendarys wow style where you have to wait for one very rare drop to start an arduous quest chain with lots of lore about the item, eventually leading to the true legendary.

soj, and hellskull should be a massive dmg increase for you.

Unity doesn't work on Asheara's proc. Think someone in here said that already. Still, I'd love to be wrong.

Damn Ill have to research this, I hope you are wrong too haha but it does sound too good to be true

Nice vid, but have you tested cdr yet? I didnt remember you mentioning anything about it. But I think it must work since its auto rolled on ess of johan.

I wonder how a group of 4 all using ashearas with unity and that charm amulet that increases dmg by 30% would be in t6. I bet it would be 100% uptime on the dmg reduction and crazy cc/utility from double follower procs. With hex I doubt u would ever even see elite packs not in chicken form lol. I think it might be worth dropping almost any 6set if its possible to have 100% uptime on the 50%+ dmg reduction and 30% dmg in groups. (also in the future imagine 9 legendary gems being utilized by followers on every proc

So recently as I have switched back to playing hardcore I have been enjoying maximizing my followers stats, stacking attack speed and cdr on all slots I can and using thunderfury/wydward to get lots of slow/stun procs. Thanks to ROS our followers have definitely improved (legendary relics/unity combo and introduction of cdr, ess of johan/charm dmg amulet)So its got me thinking even with nearly maxed out stats our followers still seem very weak compared with group play. One thing im very excited for are the introduction of legendary gems coming to rings and amulets.Before I always felt my followers dmg didnt matter at all compared to my op dmg, therefore all utility abilities will scale much more effectively than pure follower dmg. I hope with the introduction of 3 legendary gem slots that there would be both options where followers could be useful in clearing/dealing high amounts of burst dmg instead of just cc utility in the higher torments. Again I think ros has made some great improvements to followers so far but I would like to see some more related additions, such as follower only items/sets; weapons rings and amulets each specifically for 1 follower only. These items could change the way their skills work /give them a third skill choice option to choose from. And last I would just like some brand new followers all together! I love the personality that they all have and i know blizzard could create some more intriguing characters to entertain us, and make use of all the available weapon slots in game. 1h crossbows 2h barb weapons etc lots of cool potential procs going to waste atm. oh and also their char sheet needs to be updated to correctly show all the stats they benefit from.



TLDR: I hope new legendary gems make followers into beasts. & I would like some new follower specific items, new skills, and new followers!

it used to be a very strong combination before akarat rally was nerfed and blessed shield shatter rune dmg was also nerfed.

so the reason why it isnt popular now is because in direct comparison with other weapons/builds its dmg just cant compete. I would rank sader items in this order in terms of dmg/effectiveness. gyrfalt/baleful<maximius<darkflight<fotf

edit* as mentioned below the single target is mainly where blessed shields lacks luster. If you only have one target your shields wont bounce and u will get like 1/8th of ur effective dmg. This was also a problem before they nerfed it. after the changes and shotgun becoming mainstream our single target drastically improved too, so I welcome these changes.
