Second legendary of 2.1.2 I get is an almost perfect Ancient Leoric's Signet, which I can't even use because I'm using Eternal Union and RoRG. Meh... lol.

I've been against season only items from the start for everything. But if they're going to add season only items, it seems a bit arbitrary to confine them to items and not gems too.



They have to have their carrot on a stick, as it were.

That's really sucky...
I was really looking forward to that set and no way I'm even trying Firebird's again. I hate it.

I guess I'll just have to wait til 2.2 then.

Uhm, I just checked through the patch notes found in another thread, but there's no mention of the new sets showed off at Blizzcon. Are they not adding them for Season 2?



I really, really dislike Firebird's and was hoping to try out the new set to be able to play something viable. Without it, I'm really not sure I even want to try season 2 now.

Very doubtful that they'd hold off the patch until after the new season starts. That'd just be asking for trouble.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's out before S1 even ends.

I had a Phallanx-Archer Crusader, and found that if a terror demon or worm or something was the archer's target and it disappeared, they wouldn't stop targetting it. They'd just stop shooting until after the terror demon came back, regardless of whether there were any other mobs nearby that they could be shooting in the mean-time or not.

I guess the sentries work similarly.

Another important item to the builds that have been mentioned here is the newly annouced Ranslor's Folly.

The way the wording on that item is written, it seems that it will only pull in one mob per proc. It also seems to suggest that it can only proc once every 5 seconds, unless the cooldown is per mob. If that's the case, even spamming ET won't offer a great deal in CC. It'd help, to be sure, but I don't see it being required for an ET Opus build. Certainly not as required as the Crown of Primus will be for this set.

As for the set itself, I've never been a fan of Slow Time, but I think this set and the Crown might offer up some really interesting gameplay. It'll certainly beat FB's amazingly boring play style.
I'll probably end up using a Glacial Spike / Frozen Orb build with this set with a Winter Flurry source. Just because it might finally make Frozen Orb decent again.

I've still only ever seen one Unity, so yeah, oldschool, you must be very lucky with them.

The channelled spells spend their cost at your attack speed. So it won't be 16 per second. This is why two-handers are very good for channelled spells, because they're slow. Alternatively, get your hands on some APoC or use Magic Weapon - Conduit.

Honestly seven floors is better than one. If you die 2/3rds of the way into a single floor rift, it takes 3 minutes just to walk back. That being said I don't think I've had more than 4 in a grift.

That only applies to Softcore. I find one floor far better on Hardcore; plenty of space to play with.

I see 6 and 7 floor grifts fairly often. Definitely more often than I see single floor grifts.

I really don't like them. What's the point of getting the hellrift ones when they have like 10 mobs inside or 1 pack and nothing else? The density in 6-7 floor grfits does seem to be deliberately awful to draw it out. You spend most of your time running with nothing to kill.
That said, I agree with ruksak about the variation. I do prefer that. If you get one floor with awful mobs, the next might have really nice ones. It's a shame the density is so rubbish.

Nothing fancy, but I rolled a Crusader to give it a go, and this is what it currently looks like.

Oh wow. I finally just found my first Unity. Not too bad either. Now I just need another one.

Nevermind.

Sorry, RageBear, but what? You're complaining about bad luck when you've gotten all that... seriously?

I've seen two SoJ's, both awful. No TnT's, no Unity's and no Wand of Woh.

You might not have gotten what you wanted, but you got a lot of stuff people would dream about getting.
