I've not received a legendary that was worth a damn for over a week, either it's for another class or it's terrible and becomes salvage fodder. I've probably spent 500+ shards on sources and haven't gotten anything.
Meanwhile I have a buddy who's gotten 2 legendaries from shards already, getting set pieces left and right, etc. ><
So if a weapon doesnt roll a socket, dont bother wasting enchanting mats on it?
I would keep trying until i got the socket.
I have a 2350dps chantodos sitting there waiting for a socket, my current 1 hander is 1950. hells ya im gonna keep trying.
My chantodo isn't that high on damage, but I got lucky and got the socket on my second enchant attempt. It's definitely true how much the socket matters.
I don't even use that glyph anyways and the build is still a lot of fun to play. I'd be interested in knowing what Fire build you liked though, because in my opinion it's the least flavored element.

I found a legendary ring with Int, Vit, Armor, and Block %. I just stared at the screen, not knowing what to do besides get frustrated and blow it up.
Justice Lantern is a damn fine ring in HC play if you use a shield.
I'm seeing one issue already. People are so cynical, they won't take the time to understand the "depth and complexity" they've been clamoring for.
I don't play on HC or use a shield. I understand that it could be useful in that regard, maybe. There's still probably a better ring to use than that though.
I haven't even gotten 1 new piece yet, and you've got 4pc? Damn duders, that's awesome. May not be super optimized as Ras stated on synergizing some skills better, but it was still awesome seeing those Meteors drop like that.
I'm giving this a shot on t3, with 250k dmg and 750k toughness. It's a pretty fun spec to play so far, with quite a bit more durability than I had in my previous build. I wish I could get some +cold damage gear to drop for me.
My buddy found a 1.2k dps sword with +20% Cold damage on it, I lost like 100k paper DPS, so I passed on it for now. But I have a feeling if I find a few items with +% Cold damage on it, it might actually be worth it. That's not a bad looking amulet, either. However, I don't have any real answer for when it starts to outweigh losing the paper DPS.
I found a build someone else was using and replaced Meteor with Ray of Frost (Sleet Storm) and this allows me to stay melee or be ranged, depending on the situation. I was cruising through T4 with a few friends last night with it and it works out really well. With the amount of APoC, ApS, and Crit% I have, I could hold it down as long as 2+ enemies were in range of it. That and get a 5 stack Arcane Dynamo for a +60% damage duration was pretty nice. Otherwise, I was staying range and launching in Frozen Orbs.
I've not found enough items yet with +Cold damage or other stats to make me want to drop all of the pure dps stats just yet.
There's a lot of people that do not like the BoA-type items, and would instantly hate this idea just from reading that. I don't really mind, but then again I'm not very good at playing the AH to make lots of money.
However, at this point I would rather them adjust legendaries to make them exciting to see drop and balancing the benefit of having a shield or a 2h weapon, rather than the 90%+ of the population doing MH/OH combo's.
I have some gear for Archon and had been doing MP1 Act 3 clears for awhile now, except for the occasional MP5-7 key run that I would switch to cm/ww for. However, since the density buff I decided to give MP10 Act 1 a go with cm/ww.
I'm trying to craft gloves with attack speed, crit chance, crit damage. Afterwards, I'll try to craft an amulet with the same thing.
The only other way to get attack speed is to find a legendary that will sell well and get a pair of Lacuni's with crit on them. Or the few pieces that I have with attack speed that don't have the highest % of it, which would still cost me quite a bit and I'm on the poorer side of things.
I suppose I could try to get the legs I have now with All Resist on them to help out as well with losing Energy Armor.
At what point does one look to replace Energy Armor with Storm Armor? I tried it out today a little bit and lost a LOT of my ability to survive. It was nice to have that extra damage, but I think at this point it's just necessary to keep it.

Above ... no need to derail this thread. The Op is asking about drop rates ... not gold duping, so use another thread. As for the topic, I would love to hear/read about about others' drop experiences in Acts 1, 2, & 4 (& areas) with the new patch. I won't get a chance to play for about another 10 hours so hopefully they'll be some good areas to hit :Thumbs Up:
My run was Festering Woods > Fields of Misery > The Weeping Hollow > Northern Highlands > Cathedral Level 2 > Halls of Agony Level 2 > Cursed Hold > Halls of Agony Level 3 > Butcher
(Start on the "Cursed Hold" quest to get both the Warden and the Butcher for loot)
I just did Festering Woods -> Fields of Misery, I'll have to add these other areas in to see how they work.
I did try Southern Highlands and it's still pretty sparse. =\
But I did get 2 legendary helms within a few minutes of each other when I tried an Act 2 run. They both weren't that great though. :|
