why would u run max vit instead of int? since ur spells cost % life u also lose more
That's all about getting more thorns damage with the Heart of Iron in the cube ('Gain Thorns equal to 300% of your Vitality').
This was debunked in season 5 bro. You only gain 10% total increased dmg. Thorns scales off main stat first and foremost. The means the 300% is a mere fraction of the main stat multiplier. Why do you think for LoN bomb or Invokers people either go Rubies or diamonds. Its either raw DPS or damage mitigation.
Just answering the question... not stating my life's philosophy or anything. Haha. That's why the original poster is (most likely) maxing his vit.
I'm just clearing up a sadly common noob mistake.
Another way of saying it is:
300% of vit + thorns = new thorns
Example:
Constants: 300k thorns, 8600 mainstat, 3000 vit,
bunch of other mulipliers = Z
Increase Vit. Say you have 3000 vit + 5 Amethyst = 4400. HoI in cube = 13200 bonus.
(8600%+1) * 313200 * Z = effective dmg
27,248,400*Z
Increase main stat = flat multiplier increase. If you have 8600 int and you socket 5 topaz in gear you get 10k int. this translates to 10k% multiplier.
(10k%+1) * 309000 thorns * Z = effective dmg.
31,209,000*Z
(3.12-2.72)/3.12 = 12.8% difference in power.
this means having main stat gems socket in gear gives you approximately 13% more power than amethyst.
Sorry but i don't know why these post exist. You guys do know what RNG is? A Random Number Generator is like playing bingo. With a 1% drop rate this means there are 99 Zeros and 1 One in the binary code. 1% = the chance you'll get something. This means you have a chance to get nothing but Zeroes when that 0.01 coefficient hits. This does NOT mean let 100 legendaries drop or craft 100 legendaries and you are guaranteed 1 Primal.
The only way to Increased your odds is to play more, do higher level GRs (70+), or spam Hope of Cain.
What's the fastest way to solo level these days? It seems like people are max level within an hour of a new season.
the fastest way is to solo it.
open up adventure mode > make sure magda or kulle is a bounty > kill them
Go to FoM and HoA 1-3. level up to 11
Finish all the bounties in act2
back to FoM and HoA for 11-23
Craft Cain's set > go back to FoM and HoA for 23-45 > go back to town and craft a level reduced lv60 item
FoM and HoA for 45-70
You can also go to Kanai's hunting grounds because you still have to get the cube.
Your goal is to get Massacre Bonuses. The classes that work the best are DoT, ranged, or Pet classes. So DH and WD can achieve this the fastest.
These threads never cease to amaze me. When 99.9% of a player's time in a season is spent AFTER lvl 70 why are so many players in a rush to just get to 70? Does it make a difference if build A gets there in 2 hours and build B gets there in 4?
because for early game leveling from 1-70 means who will hit the leaderboards first without a bot. 2-4 hours is the average for softcore. 3-5 hours is the average for Hardcore. If it takes you 5-10 hours then you are doing something wrong. because those 5 hours extra you spend is 200 - 400 paragon difference from you and another player.
I had a clan mate who was paragon 200 by the time i hit lvl70. Granted I was playing HC versus his SC, it still makes a difference. Because the first 4 man team can essentially knockout 2 conquest in the game within the first 10-12 hours of launch. Boss mode and sprinter. Also if you already have a cohesive team, then getting on the top and staying there will be easy.
Yep, cuz the difference is there but not major. It can be any where from a 5% - 10% dps increase. This is under the assumption you don't have a perfectly rolled ancient.
But PA are actually amazing on a zmonk and LoN bomb. Think on nearly all gear you have a perfect globe bonus and perfect 9500 thorns. It's actually a stat boost for specific builds just not game breaking
Another thing is you should play the Helltooth chicken or Arachyr chicken build. If you are looking for speeds. Jade nuke isn't really a speeds builds. Its a spam DoT nukem build.
Another way is to ask 3 lightning wizards to help you. Pretty much clear T13 in 2-3 mins consistently.
whose running LoH that is the next question. Life on Hit lags out the game as well. thats why you see some parties where the zdps classes use diamonds or gem of ease.
having LoH on 1 class is fine, both classes, youll probably lag out.
What are the odds the meta remains unchanged for a 3rd season?
it's 4th season not 3rd. season 7,8, and 9 basically had all the same meta.
End game groups
Season 1, 2, 3: 2x M6 DH with a lock down WD
Season 4: Lightning monk
Season 5: DMO Twister
Season 6: Tals Twister
Season 7, 8: H6 Firebat, and R6 Gen
Season 9: A6 Firebat and R6 Gen
Solo meta Shifted in Season 9 though.
sader: LoN bomb -> Hammerdin
DH: LoN FoK -> M6 Grenade
Wiz: Firebird archon -> Lightning Archon
Barb: BT charge barb -> WW barb (with istavans set)
Monk: R6 gen -> R6 gen (without epiphany)
WD: Helltooth Garg -> A6 Firebat
Nothing, because I sincerely doubt there will be a D4.
I have to agree with you. I mean people blindly speculated that there was going to be D2 HD, D4, or an expansion announcement at Blizzcon. We were all wrong.
The Devs themselves even after 2.5 years of paragon 2.0 said they will not change it. Implementing Primal Ancients is another sign D3 is here to stay. If you want something "better" go to a different ARPG. A different Dev team promised PvP arena. It was Jay Wilson's team. Currently his team is working on WoW and Jay Wilson no longer works at Blizzard.
At this point its more logical to speculate we'll get DX12 support, more class packs. and they'll probably implement china's pay to win formula within the next 5 years.
If you want D4 to happen, Blizzard need to buy out Path of Exile development team and move the current team to other games.
3k paragon and you are saying you need some insight? How the hell haven't you gotten any insight in 3k paragon lvls? And it's not only 1 of you.. there's 4!
