I remember doing solo barb runs on MP10 and getting 1-2 legendaries per KD2 run. And they said they increased drops due to removing AH, HAH! -

The damage is not the only important thing on a weapon. We have not had a chance to test it's proc, proc chance, whether it can trigger all 3 at once, etc. Because 750% weapon damage procs would make it much much stronger than other 1H weapons.Quote from ZwuckeL
That sword only rolls 1901.2 - 2274,3 DPS ... pretty weak compared to the weapons with 3k dps we've seen -

Feb 17, 2014Ryude posted a message on Devs Experimenting with APoC, "Diablo III Caramelldansen," by Jaetch, Curse Weekly RoundupThe problem with Diablo 3 is that Blizzard thinks people want the game to be balanced. Balance is good for a competitive game, not a game where you're basically just farming the same content over and over for paragon levels and loot.Posted in: News
Instead of making every build weak, make every build strong in different ways. There are plenty of ways they could do that, but what's frightening is that it has been 2 years and they still haven't figured out how. -

They don't nerf "fun" things, they nerf "broken" things which takes choices away. What is "fun" for you can create problems for the whole community. -

Feb 11, 2014Ryude posted a message on Transmog Price Lowered To 50K, Blue Posts, Blizzard Stream Awards WinnersI think gold drop rate is fine, I find enough to craft 5-10 legendaries per day which is enough to make me feel like I have a chance at an upgrade.

There's a legendary that converts Life on Kill into something else. I forget exactly what, but it makes Life on Kill like super good.Quote from CardinalMDM
I can agree with you somewhat on wanting to play Hardcore...even without Adventure Mode on the PTR, thanks to the increased difficulty levels, Softcore leveling is pretty swift. Conversely, playing on Hardcore in Adventure Mode seems way more dangerous, as it's not as predictable where the next real danger will be. So I'm looking forward to playing on Hardcore more as well.Quote from Koksii
the motivation for playing (high) torments just ripped. i basicly have almost all the items i want (just missing 2 setitems) and got most of them from farming expert mode...within 6 weeks of the beta btw
i hope they will introduce something new with the next beta patch (besides tuning and class changes) and give us a motivation to play on high torments besides a higher drorate for legendaries...(i wonder when they will reveal how much the legendary find chance increases with every slidertick)...
i think i will start on HC when Ros comes out, with this item system softcore is getting so boring after a coouple of weeks. i hope hc will be a bit more time consuming
btw i have a bottomless potion, if i use it my life after kill is increased by 5000 for 5 seconds...so legendary! ._. the only bottomless potion with some kind of "legendaryness" is the one that allows you to walk through waller walls but i havenf found it yet
and i can confirm that those potions are identified on drop and arent tradeable (not even within 2hours)
However, so many people have constantly complained about loot being better, both in quality and as a reward. If you're happy with what 6 weeks of Expert farming has gotten you, that's your business. Play the expansion for six weeks and quit, or simply don't buy it at all when it releases. But lots of people are salivating for awesome legendaries and new sets that change up builds. For a lot of people, that desire to hunt down awesome items is still there, and boosted drastically as a result of items that only drop on levels ABOVE Expert.
As for more motivation for playing on higher Torment levels...what better reward is there than more xp, more gold, and special items that don't drop below that level? You want an exact drop chance based on each slider tick? Honestly, will that really make much difference? If you were to find out that, hypothetically, on Torment 2, you have 30% extra chance to get Torment-only legendaries and on Torment 4 you have 60% extra chance, given what you said about what you've found, is that really going to change anything? I highly doubt it.
And by the way...extra temporary Life on Kill may not mean much to you, but I'm sure people will find smart ways of using it, as well as make builds around it. -

Let's say the chance to find a legendary is 0.02% per monster kill. This is theoretical for demonstration only.
The chance to not find a legendary is 99.98% per monster kill. Let's see how this changes after killing 500 white monsters.
1 - (0.9998)500 = 0.9048283
So the chance to NOT find a legendary after 500 kills is 90.48283%. The chance to find a legendary is 9.52827%.
However that only tells us the chance for finding legendaries from normal white monsters. What if we wanted to include elite packs?
Let's assume that elite packs have a 0.5% chance to drop a legendary per kill. In a rift, we can assume that there are at least 20 elite packs.
1 - (0.9998)500(0.995)20 = 0.8587234
So the chance to not find a legendary after 500 white kills and 20 elite packs is 85.87234%. The chance to find a legendary is 14.23876%.
As you can see, even though they are independent events we can increase our chances by simply playing more.

On the bright side, I did get about 5x the amount of xp when playing T3.

But like I said, it is still a loss of dps and I am still stuck at Torment 2. I went from 248k DPS to 209k DPS.

To be fair, this is the same thing that would happen to you no matter what online game you were playing. You don't own the game, you can be banned for any reason, and they do not have to inform you of their reasons. I don't agree with this, but I understand the ToS that I accepted.

Yeah man, I realized last month that they weren't going to implement ladder. It's just one of those things they do to draw in people. Remember team deathmatch?

The whole point of playing a game like Diablo is so that you can reiterate your character's stats, skill points, and item build to become more and more efficient. Trifecta isn't the problem as they said, the problem is that no other stat comes close to crit dmg, crit chance, and attack speed.
One way they could make Trifecta less required is to offer skills or passives that scale much higher with non-crit damage. Example: Perhaps have a rune that makes Bola Shot deals additional damage equal to 500% of your total poison damage, but the trade off would be that it cannot crit.
