That changes everything. We do they keep going back and forth? This means that items you get now and that have only one "bad" stat (e.g., all items that are top-notch except for main stat) will be very decent for RoS.

122 paragon levels since patch and counting.

Number of set items (that didn't go straight to brimstone, like Traveler's Pledge): 0.

Number of weapons looted: over 9000. How many of those had a socket? 0.

Number of legendaries that were a real upgrade to my mediocre pre-patch gear: 0.

RNG!

MFW I see people posting they find 5 legendaries per hour and have full sets even for their twinks:


Granted, I find 5 legendaries per hour as well sometimes. All 2h weapons, of course. But you know - it's RNG. I know that. I knew that. It's always been like that for me. I just keep pretending that all this bad luck will turn around and years of disappointment will pay off and I'll get a quadruple full Tal's set drop from Malthael on his first kill, plus a Wand of Woh right afterwards as quest reward.

I Think that's technically better than a 1h, although I'd need a CTRL+ screenshot for comparison, because It doesn't seem to be factoring in the almost double damage increase thanks to the +Arcane. Think about it. Your range isn't 1170-1408 its actually 2055-2475 which averages about 2265 DPS. This is all speculation of course , if that's how the weapons handle damage which is how I assumed they worked. Could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, although I see no reason why this isn't how it works.

If t6 is great for xp, but terrible drops, and t1 is the opposite...why not just do t3 or t4?

If I were to drop the difficulty, the build ceases to function. The white trash dies too quickly and when they're dead, I lose all my lifestealing from rend and it makes it much more difficult to instantly refresh the cd on my charge.

Proposed Fix
My proposed solution to this problem is to ensure that each elemental class is represented within each skill at least once. Taking Blizzard for example,
Fire Rune: Ash Cloud: Your blizzard is replaced with a cloud of volcanic ash that does X% weapon damage as fire over X seconds. Enemies also burn for X% weapon damage over X seconds. (slow effect no longer applies)
Arcane Rune: Cosmic Rays: Cosmic energy rains down upon your enemies dealing X% weapon damage as arcane over X seconds. (slow effect no longer applies).
Lightning Rune: Thunderstorm: You summon a thunderstorm that does X% weapon damage as lightning over X seconds. It also has a chance to stun enemies for 1 second (slow effect no longer applies).
All other runes are cold runes.

It is not broken, it just gives you a flat bonus to legendary drops, not magic find in general and therefore it isn't listed as magic find.

If you want to get in the semantics of pointless I could say don't play RoS either because if there is going to be another expansion after that, so everything you find is just useless until the FINAL expansion.....

Well, I don't think that's an accurate analogy. You can't ignore the fact that the next expansion is a week away, and the one after that could be two years away (assuming there is one.) It makes a difference.

That depends on how far along in the game you are.

If you had loads of awesome gear and almost maxed all your paragons pre-patch, then sure, they might be crap. But for those of us who didn't get to that point, they are still awesome. All except one legendary I've found so far, has been an upgrade for me. In some cases even a huge upgrade. And they will continue to be awesome until day 1 of RoS. Why? Because until I ding 61 in the new areas, they are far from useless. They are worth the time and effort I spent getting them. But when I ding 61 I will be finding even better gear. And then they will be replaced. Then they will be (mostly) useless. Only then, not now...

To an extent, yes. However, in the video I showed the rares I crafted. Crafted rares are currently better than most legendaries unless you get real lucky and the legendaries roll high. Statistically speaking it's cheaper and quicker to craft Archon rares for shoulders, chest, gloves, maybe even 6 prop helm/boots/belt, get rare rings with primary/vit/CC, craft ammy, and use a legacy lifesteal weapon.

This morning I found one upgrade to my LS weapon - 3% damage and 2% toughness boost ... but no LS. So I'm still sticking to the 'ez mode' weapon until RoS. Why make the game harder for yourself?
