5 Ways To Prepare For Reaper of Souls

[Genocides]

I still don\'t see how people even with high end gear are not finding upgrades. I\'m nearly to 5k dex and 60k life with 220k dps with 7.5k healing and 800k toughness give or take.

I plan to roll out the movement speed of Cloak of Garwulf (maybe - tanky wolves are tanky) and lvl 60 Nemesis Bracers until I can replace them for new Nemesis. (I\'m willing to sac some stats to keep this last one, since the other bracers seem nah...)

The rest is moving to the mental bin at an alarming speed...

I couldn\'t play beta, but lvl 60 Gehennas would be decent at ealy lvl 70. Pants with 730-800 armor, sockets, Vit (legen. lvl 70 roll), Main stat (legen. lvl 70 roll), MF and Fire Res.

What I plan to do is saving mats for rerolling nemesis and grawulf and burn the rest of lvl 60 mats on Gehennas if I get a decent roll on nemesis early on.

I don\'t plan to use mystic for lvl 70 T1 \"early game\" gear, since it looks a scary gold sink, imo...

There have definitely been some good suggestions about how to do it (for instance, as others have said, holding Ctrl when hovering over an item). I remember in an interview, the devs have said they\'re aware of the issue, but that it will likely be on the backburner for a bit...

It would be a great tool to have though.

 

[Waterfiend]

Oh wow, great ideas! I didn\'t think about those, but yes: all good suggestions.

I\'m curious, is that solely with new items, or are you using old crit/crit damage items as well?

There will be +50% bonus exp starting from today so leveling will be faster than ever. It will be for limited time only, maybe until the release of RoS.

I found this synergy thing fun to play with as well... it creates interesting possibilities like running a \"lighting\" monk which I did for a while tonight. I definitely like how they made many of the rune effects elemental, to give you more to think about vs the old \"more damage\" vs \"more resource\" boring choices.

 

[ericfordh]

At first was I torn between the old low difficulty + GF/MF gear vs higher difficulty + best gear choice we\'ve grown so used to. But then I tried playing Torment 1 with the best gear and ignoring gold find entirely. The drops are amazing and you seem to get the same gold in the end, due to the bonus. I\'ve found at least a dozen meaningful upgrades in just a couple of days playing, which blows pre-patch out of the water. I can\'t see any reason to craft because it\'s so unnecessary now.

This is the most fun D3 has been since the first time through the week it was released.

 

[Genocides]

the only crit/crit damage items left are my crafted ammy/gloves real hard to replace and a gem in my sweet sweet Pigsticker. Squeal! Oh and the toughness is at 1million I was wrong (736 Fire res) with 2 piece newly crafted Demon\'s set.

 

[Genocides]

The only question I have is why not craft? the mats are about to be fairly useless and there are very possible upgrades from it Sages set even.

 

[ericfordh]

Well, that\'s the sad thing, gold is still a limiting factor, and I don\'t have enough lying around to even come close to using up the crafting materials in my stash. And apparently fiery brimstones are good for nothing now - wish I\'d known and used up the handful I had before that went down. And drops are really so much better than anything I\'m getting out of the blacksmith, it\'s crazy. At this point it seems more prudent to save my gold for RoS.

i dont have enough gear to do t5 alone but with 4 players its manageable on a decent speed. I cant farm it alone though..

everything is cool, except i wish loot 2.0 really was loot 2.0, and not more like loot 1.2.... sure itemization has improved KINDA, but to call it 2.0.... i see no major overhaul, and still the same amount of extremely terrible items (that just happen to not have primary stats i dont need, thats about it)

 

[a black kid]

1.5 hours/legendary seems high? that seems totally insane to me.... with the fact that you can\'t trade legendaries anymore, they should be dropping more like 10-15 minutes/legendary, cause even then it would probably take you a LONG time to complete a set..... with 1.5 hours/legendary, one will have to play for well nigh 100 or more hours to even come close to finding a full set..... at least with tradable legendaries you could incrementally get your cash to get that one piece you\'re missing, but now? you find 4 out of 5 pieces, and all you want is that last one? hey, about playing for another 200 hours in hopes that that ONE ITEM drops.
