Yes, but you'll be missing out on either A) Blazar stacking up your firebird buff in ~3 seconds, or B ) Event Horizon absorbing projectiles. There are better passives than EE for firebird.
Use the Furnace. No question. How is that Furnace bad? It's far better than the vast majority of Furnaces out there, including mine and my clan mate Void's (who's currently #1 on the US solo wizard leaderboard at 42). Use Firebird Pants. Hexing Pants do not dynamically update the Firebird DoT damage, only the fire spell damage you deal + Hydra.
Even though it's a vitality furnace? Sure it's very well rolled, but he loses out on 1000-1100 int, which seems like an awful lot to me.
There's plenty of threads available with crusader builds. Do some forum browsing. Your first priority should be replacing that red gem in your weapon with a green one, and afterwards work on getting crit chance (helm, shield, rings, neck) and crit damage, and getting yellows that have 4 primary stats.
The thing is...running T1 over and over and over and over again, without any progression plainly sucks...part of enjoying the game is finding legendaries that boost your character in some way...that was one of the "core-features" for Loot-2.0...they wanted legendaries to be buildchangers...
For some (Sets, TF, SoH, Cindercoat...etc) that statement holds...but 99% of the legendaries that drop are either useless because they CAN'T roll decent or simply because they rolled horribly...smart loot was a good start but for legendaries they should have implemented a system that ensures you only find useful things...imagine you play barb and that super rare legendary finally drops...and it has int and no socket or totally crappy stats in general...thats the moment where you start to get frustrated even more...
It's absolutely okay that there are differences in legendaries...but if 99% of the legendaries you find are terrible, you start to ask yourself "why am i still doing this?"...sure...for the 1% that actually CAN be decent...but for many players, in combination with the above, that simply sucks...and i can totally understand that frustration...telling those players "RNG is RNG" over and over again does not benefit them in any way...
If you're running T1 over and over again with "no progression," try running T2. If you've run T1 that much, it's more likely than not that you just want to take it easy rather than being challenged, with loot thrown at your face.
Bullshit - the loot drop rate sucks now period. It was fine before that first 25% bump up to Rifts. Now even after the 100% bump - it still sucks. I go DAYS of playing 3-4 hours at a time without seeing a SINGLE damn Green drop. None. Its the same crappy trash 2handers over and over.
Its not all Random. This isn't gaming in early 2000s.
They can fix it if they want. Gaming Technology today can assure its NOT random and instead drops follow a consistent flow rate -- there is no reason for the drops to not be consistent for everyone, PERIOD. Why the F*&K do you deserve 5-10 Legendaries during your play, but the next guy/gal doesn't?? It can be corrected if they want too.
Except Baal runs required you to find Baal, and then kill his minions, and then kill Baal. So basically, this is nothing at all like Baal runs. Fight something other than 1 mob if you want loot.
I don't use it often because you need to stand still to channel it. I'll change to it if I'm in a group for ubers, since I'm not always being focused, but that's really the only time I've found a use for it.
What screwed things up was that game wasnt bot secure at launch.
Please show me any game that had a 100% protection from from bots and hacks.
How about any and all console games since the 7th generation (we are in 8th now) ^^?
P.S. Might as well add all Steam games, cause as far as I know, none have been hacked, at least not for online play. Could be wrong though, but I've not heard a pip. This was the reason that D3 was supposed to be online only... to work as a DRM and prevent hacking and botting... they failed.
Steam games not been hacked? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
