I'm not seeing such drastic DPS loss from my own experiences, the things I notice most are that I can no longer generate AP as fast which does result in an overall DPS LOSS and that the chill effect is probably half of what it used to be. I think the electrocute nerf was a bit much and I hope they monitor this change specifically and evalute it moving forward.

I would be shocked if skipping white monsters in a rift would be a good idea. But I've been wrong in the past.

well with that question more or less answered, could I ask another... do you guys clear a rift till the end or leave once the rift boss is dead?

Quote from Bulrug

I think people should stop complaining about drop rates. Its a video game, you're either going to play it or you're not. If the drop rate is 2% are you going to play the game more than if it was 1%? Just play the damn game and quit complaining. Play whatever torment level you're comfortable with or have fun on. The more gear you get the harder it will be to find upgrades, that's true for any game built around this concept.

This post is built on a completely incorrect assumption. It was confirmed by Lylirra in that very same thread that it is, in fact, a 15% multiplicative per torment level buff (eg 1.15^N):http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12413271220?page=13#241

Taking this into account, the drop chance for 150 MF is effectively the same thing as farming a rift one torment level higher. That is to say, farming a rift on T3 with 150 MF is effectively the same thing as farming a rift on T4 with 0 MF. It is nowhere near the drop chance of T6 rifts, as shown in your standard extrapolation graph on the right.

Very disappointed to see such clearly incorrect and misleading information be prominently displayed on the front page of the site.

The derivation will be omitted, but the end result is the following expression (where N again is a torment difficulty value):

Can you please post the derivation because I don't see where that equation comes from. It seems unreasonable. Increasing the health of the mods increases the drop rate of legendaries, what? And (health_n+1/health_n)^1/3 will always be 1.6^1/3 ~= 1.17 since health increase is 60% per T.

Also y-axis from 0 would make for a more honest comparison.

I swapped my AR paragon points to life regen at 70. Not sure if it is actually better, but ~8k life regen/sec feels better than 235 all resist.

Personally I like the AR more than Life regen because I used my other points on LoH. With around 6-8k LoH I don't really need much life regen, and the AR makes LoH even better since AR mitigates damage. I only have 42 points in AR but without it, I take almost 16% more damage.

Quote from srathgar

your stone of jordan is better. the cold dmg isnt calculated with the % increase below, so the 14% increase in dmg will not cover the 16% cold dmg increase.

also, 25% increase dmg on elites is HUGE, and speaking from a frozen orb wiz with quite decent gear, i 1/2 shot most ev erything on torment 3, only elites are a bit slower.
