So people are speed farming the 70's in just a plain old Invoker set, Dang I must be doing something wrong...
Oof, same here. I can do 65 consistently, but I can't beat the clock on 66. Granted, I don't have the exact build I see a lot of folks using. Maybe I should try harder to roll a good Pig Sticker.
Another question about Invoker builds... is there a hard-and-fast "obvious" choice for armor gems? I thought at first that my main stat would be the clear option (so Rubies), but then I remembered that I get +Thorns for my Vit. So I tried swapping them out, and the Amethysts seemed pretty nice. Not being a D3 mathematician, though, I have to ask... Which do y'all think I should go with?
Also keep in mind that the item you get is defined by the loot table regarding this specific item class for the char you are currently playing with. While it is easy to upgrade e.g. for a scrimshaw as a wd (loot table = 2 leg spears), other chars might roll the same item to 4 different spears, thus greatly decreasing your chances for the right item. Also I am not sure if you can roll set items.
Yeah, that's going to be nice; it should make getting a Calamity a little easier. Do y'all know if blacksmith-crafted items can also roll from the "upgrade rare item" recipe? If so, that would kind of hurt its potential return on investment.
And I wonder if maybe the diablowiki page for Kanai's Cube is inacurate? It says you can "turn any level 70 Rare item into a random legendary or set item of the same type."
Oh... and on a different track... is there a quick and simple explanation for (2x one-hand) vs (one-hand+off-hand) vs (two-hand) damage calculation? It seems to me that there's a greater potential for better/more magic affixes with two items than with a single 2-hander, but I'm unclear on how damage works (e.g. two 700 dpi weapons vs one 1000 dpi weapon).
When it comes to hunting for 1 specific item, both spending blood shards at kadala, and upgrade rares with the cube is way to go.
In D2 all mobs had their fixed levels and treasure classes determining what loot tables they dropped loot from.
This is different in D3 (now) due to how both the levels of mobs and loot, is determined by your level.
Ah, I didn't realize the "upgrade rare" transmute could result in set items. The wording in-game is pretty poor in that regard. Thanks, that's good to know--though I'm still short of having enough Death's Breath to use that recipe. =)
I played the base game's story, returned to play the expansion story, and that was about it--didn't even hit Lv.70 until last week when a friend got me to reinstall and create a season character.
So as a fellow "newbie" (and since there's no longer an AH), I also have another question...
Is there a special way I should be searching for specific items? I see all kinds of helpful build suggestions, but if I'm needing, say, Focus and Restraint, should I be doing something in particular to specifically get those items?
I remember way back in D2, there were lists and calculators that determined that Andariel in Nightmare was the best statistical choice for unqiue rings... do such loot calculations exist for D3, also? Or is that even more complicated than it needs to be?

Ah, thanks a bunch for the constructive criticism, Shapookya. I really appreciate it.
I'll swap out my gems later and work on the skill/gear points you mentioned, too. Hopefully that'll help get me over this hump. =)
