Any nerf to this set will bring a massive shitstorm, and blizzard knows it. As somebody on page 1 already said, the problem is that all the classes have a single set that pretty much dominates everything else. The endgame is find your set, find the random legendaries that supplement it, then roll face on keyboard while you search for the exact same items you already have but with higher / better rolls.

I've watched my buddy get the chantodos offhand from gambling. Old sets still drop at 60+, so it seems you can gamble for some.

Old Sets: yes

Old Sets that got upgraded to "torment only" (the big class sets, with more than a 2p bonus): no.

Just as simple as that.

Again, this may have been changed; a buddy of mine in one of the top us guilds swears he got tal's mask after that loot hotfix went through Wednesday.

Because it is better than Diablo 2. There, I said it. It has an actual economy, it has a "respec system", a better skill system, better Legendary-Rare balance, and just flat out more variety in gameplay/grinding.

Better than Diablo 2. Lol.

It has an actual economy.... ROFL

a better skill system... roflroflrolforlfolro

etc.

You sir are everything that's wrong with the gamers nowadays, and the reason why we get such crap products like D3 served to us in the first place.

Wow, I thought the D2 purists died out a long time ago. Tell me, does the jerkass attitude come packaged with the rose-tinted glasses, or is that a separate purchase?

This is why it is impossible for any game developer to tune a difficulty level that makes everyone happy.

The point they've tuned it at now has some players virtually falling asleep playing through normal and nightmare and sometimes even hell, whilst others honestly find those difficulty levels too difficult. Hell, I even remember early after release a thread on the forums that started with one player who quite honestly declared that he was disappointed with D3 because normal-mode Belial was literally impossible for him to beat.

p.s. if you "don’t have time to obsess over [your] character build".. if it's any consolation, when I got to the point where I really felt that I'd hit the wall, it took no more than five minutes of forum browsing and a couple of skill changes to get me moving forward again. I guarantee you that you can make things a lot easier without having to get into Elitist Jerks levels of spreadsheet crunching.

Similarly, I would say that unless you are deliberately aiming for a challenge mode - and it doesn't sound like you are - just go to the AH and buy a few pieces. At your level, even a few thousand gold will buy you massive upgrades. I'm not telling you to bust out the credit card and buy your way to power, just go an buy a weapon with double the DPS of your current one. You'll probably find hundreds of them for sale for not much more than their vendor price.

I understand that some people aren't happy about this game design decision, but as Blizzard said, loot drops are tuned around the idea that the AH is there for trading, if you choose not to use it you are deliberately choosing to play a challenge mode. It's probably on par with playing hardcore rather than regular mode.

You know what!? My friend told me an interesting story, but this is

Don't tell it to anyone!
