Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

[Icarian]

Elite damage+ and Elite damage taken-. Stuff like Aughild's. Monk can get pretty high Res and dodge. When in doubt, look through Twitch videos and see what specs they are using. That's how I found DH builds like 100% Cloak, Cluster Arrow for 129M, and crazy zoo builds.

Edit: Core stat + crit chance + Crit damage + element+ is basically what you need for gear, for DH. Not sure if Monk is the same.

Most of the monks I see don't have -% Elite damage taken, which is why I ask myself how the hell do they survive with 1k resist and 300k HP, is it better to just play on T1 and destroy everything fast?

I just tried T2 and I got 2 shotted by a rift boss several times with 400k HP and 950 resist all, plus some elite packs inside rifts just melted me down insanely fast, even with -30% damage taken I would still die within seconds D: I still got it done more or less within the same time as T1, but dying 5+ times on some packs/rifts bosses is annoying.

Probably more resist all? OWE can lead to like 1500+ resist-all.

[Plow]

keep in mind also that you don't see shit from their passive and stuff when you're looking at armory, my monk shows as like 6m toughness where it's ~20m in game

Followers + legendary tokens that give all skills can get pretty nuts, too. I think it works like the stun necklace with shadow clones; 30 seconds active with 60 CD.

Some of them probably run damage reducing skills like Inner Sanctuary or Epiphany: Desert Shroud. Keeps them alive long enough to burn down the elite pack.

Hoping that 2.0.5 comes out tomorrow, this game is in dire need of patches and tiered rifts would be amazing as well as all the buffs and adjustments to come.

For those that are in the dark about what is to come.

zomg, want, now!

Awareness - Your Armor is increased by 30% of your Dexterity. (Previously gained 6% Dodge every second, resetting after you dodge)

Also just started a crusader and those changes look glorious.

[chazzyphizzle]

lol i'm glad they completely changed the stupid nephalem's glory passive

[arus2001]

Pretty underwhelmed on DH tweaks, but that's par for the course anymore.

[Krandor]

RIP Shattering Throw.

Changes to the other main spec Crusader I was using are nice though aside from the Rally Rune nerf, but those look entertaining enough to get me to play for awhile again.

Is live now :D Lucky us

Lots of butthurt on OF about Leapquake Barbs getting hosed. Wiz escaped without any nerfs really; the teleport CD was reduced in exchange for one less Wormhole leap. Honestly that works better for me as I would tele into a wall / tree / etc. half the time on the third tele. I don't know what to make of the Crusader changes; thought it was a substantial buff, but lots of people complaining about various things.

[Shenrien]

CD Wiz got it best with this update for mobility, teleport being something like 2s cd is awesome as fuck.

[Daemonxel]

I am just really happy with the chance of torment set piece's in the caches

[Zzsark]

Lot's of interesting adjustments to crusaders but man did my FotH/Rally build take a hefty hit from the nerf bat. Going to have to spend some time thinking about where to make changes. Kinda glad I've held on to at least 1 of each unique crusader leg I've picked up just in case an update made other skills more appealing.

Still seems like BoP will be pretty powerful but idk what to do.

[Wulfgang]

I am just really happy with the chance of torment set pieces from Kadala

FTFY; I can't see myself running caches on T1+ even with the change unless it's found that the drop rate is higher than general rifting. Until then it's just going to be Normal split farming to facilitate more RiF shard spam.

[Krandor]

Shattering Throw build is honestly almost exactly the same. The Judgement - Resolved nerf is a bigger issue then the one to Shattering Throw, but the sheer power of the passives compensate pretty well and single target damage is way higher now. T3 skeleton king took like 40-50 seconds compared to 2-3 minutes before.

[Alarial]

Meteor Molten Impact got a nice radius boost. Also Archon being able to take advantage of specific damage types is a huge boost. I have nearly 100% fire damage boost and with the change Archon is a pretty decent damage boost, though it feels a lot less survivable until I get some more Vyr's set.

Also the shorter teleport cooldown is much needed.

[Guitarman]

With max CDR and safe passage, we can have the 25% dmg reduction up around 90% of the time. Add that to the unity ring and suddenly we can take the hits.

I'm not happy about the leapquake build being nerfed; it looked really fun and I was hoping to try it out, but crafting recipes not requiring a white drop to craft is a win to me, and I'll take it.

[Shenrien]

If anyone is looking to get a lot of bloodshards with minimal effort, 2 people or more, one person makes a game Lv.1 character and opens a rift on T6 and invites everyone to the group, once everyone is in doing the rift exit, and change to a Lv.70 re-enter the game and get your 80-100 blood shards from T6, all the monsters will stay scaled to Lv.1~5 so they'll all get 1 shot'd and they will drop low level items, but because kadala can give you what you want now, easy way to bypass it with the easy blood shards, you can get like 1.5k+ an hr with a quick group.

Also if you have been crashing lately, go into options, go to sound settings and change your sound output to stereo, idk why that fixes it but hey spaghetti is delicious. It's not a 100% work around but it definitely lowers the chances.

edit; community rift it forward to get groups for it if you are a friendless scrub.
