Focused Feedback Update
The focused feedback thread for the Patch 2.1.2 PTR has been updated to request feedback on Set changes. Nevalistis also explained why there's only one thread for all these changes, instead of individual ones. Check it out!

As a reminder: In order to facilitate focused feedback, posts in this thread that are not relevant to the topics listed above will be deleted. While all feedback is welcome, we ask that you create a new thread for your concerns if they are outside the above topics. Thank you!
Typo, Got overzealous with some code copypasting, I think, and missed it. I'll get that fixed. Thanks!Enemies hit by Furious Charge take 3000% weapon damage over 3 secondsJust noticed this. Here it is listed as the six piece set bonus but in-game it is currently a five-piece set bonus still. Is this a typo or a bug?
Note: This DoT cannot crit, your Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Damage will be calculated into its damage
Second, Neva, how about creating a new focused feedback thread for each set? You only just added Raekor to the list a couple hours ago, but there have been numerous threads with feedback regarding that topic already and people may miss the fact that now you ask for focused feedback here, when there are multiple discussions going on elsewhere.Mostly to avoid forum clutter. The more cluttered stickies get, the more people gloss over and subsequently ignore them. Organization reasons, mostly.
Then the question may appear "was the constructive Barb feedback posted outside of this thread before you added Raekor eligible?"
Conversations outside of here aren't being ignored. I've been focused on gathering information from this thread specifically while Tyvalir and Grimiku have been tackling outside of it. It's a collaborative effort. Feedback is being read and heard either way, it just helps us split the load more reasonably.
Boon of the Hoarder Change
Some players have been getting Boon of the Hoarders from Greater Rifts on the PTR. Nevalistis clarified that is indeed an intended change to this item's drop mechanic, meant to make it easier for hardcore players to find it without having to find the Vault again. Read below.

So, in any event, you'll need to find the Vault at least once before you can acquire a Boon of the Hoarder.
Immortal Support Monk
MeatHeadMikhail has put together a Support Monk on the PTR that doesn't rely on cooldown reduction and good timing on Serenity - based on the new Gems and some changes to Life Regen. If you're into a support build and looking forward to something similar, yet a little bit different on 2.1.2, it might be the build for you!
What baffles me is why people downvote that kind of post tbh (yours and his). Guys like Rhykker and MHM are some of the few still doing regular D3-related content these days (showing PTR coverage and guides, basic builds for those who just got into console's UEE), and whenever posts like those appear on reddit they get instantly downvoted. I just don't get it where the hate (or that other thing) comes from.
Unless something is "the" next rank #1 build that they can make use of, most people don't even care. Reminds me of that lovely thing everyone does in HS (even though they condemn it) - netdecking....
Look at what they did with Demon Hunters in the current season for the perfect proof. High rank Demon Hunters pretty much all have the same build, then that Lightning Demon Hunter storms in from nowhere and takes the #1 rank...then you watch all of the other Demon Hunters suddenly scrambling to get the exact same gear setup as the new #1 Greater Rift ranked Demon Hunter.
It's like 99% of the people on Diablo III want to be "the best" yet don't want to put the work into actually coming up with their own build.
@Zoen - yes, thank you. While I didn't reference the thread directly (I just kind of looked at all the available defensive skills you can stack), I'm sure it subconsciously planted some seeds.
@Zero - the D3 reddit sub is unlike a lot of other subs. It has an higher percentage of negative nancies, just like d2jsp. I agree a lot of it has to do with showing only brand new stuff or only things that are completely min-maxed, but even more than that it's a personal preference system. A number of people there just don't like me, and I think part of it is because I make videos rather than tl;dr text posts. Those same people downvote every single comment just to do it, so the rating system doesn't hold much weight.
And yes, it is funny what happened to rocketman > meticulous DH transition. Teamspeak in our clan was very annoying for a few days after that video was posted, with every other word being Helltrapper.
When you are pushing videos every day over boring topics that can be easily explained in a paragraph and you're making 10 min videos its pretty obvious that you're milking that youtube money. Now if you were to provide some text based content and prove that you're willing to help the community rather than bolster your youtube channel views you would probably be readily excepted by the community as a whole.
