Finally got some worthwhile drops on my barb yesterday. EQ gloves dropped, 300th spear, and Kadala gave me lut soks after about 10k or more shards.

 

[Adrenaline]

I was running rifts and in one rift I got:

A Jade chest piece that has 476 Int, 477 Vit, 96 AR and 14% Garg damage (may roll the AR and use for a pet build)
A Quetzacoatl that rolled 5.5% crit (upgrade)
Monk set boots, Eight-Demon boots
Swamp Land Waders that were salvaged

It was one of the best rifts for me in a while. I hit 458 also.

Damn, that's a nice quetz. You can reroll another stat to socket for more CDR. CDR is probably the most important roll next to CC now. Most of the time, your best damage dealers come from things that are in cd. EQ/WOB, sh (for jade docs), turrets for DH, etc. So, getting the time to get to the dealer is more critical than any stat that would buff dps.

Oh yeah? Well I got that deadmau5 ammy with no cc, no cd, no atkspd, no main, no vit, and no AR.

It was the quadfecta of crap. A crapfecta.

I rolled the attack speed to a socket.

Nice. Well, last night was pretty brutal. I just need ik belt and eq shoulders to complete my barb. No luck at all. 0 legs i first 2 rifts. Got a pitty goldskin on 3rd. Did a few rifs while watching some e3 presentations. Gambled about 1k shards on shoulders, and got one invoker shouler. bleh.

What is up with the constant dumbing down of Diablo 3? As if they havent dumbed it down enough, now they removed the legendary crafting materials from the game!!!

Now you only need death's breath to craft anything... This will result with anyone running around with Griswold's swords, and set armors. WTF?!

And the staff that lets you access Whimsyshire? Will that now also require death's breath only? And the hellfire ring? No more need for keys? No more infernal machines?

I think Blizzard is digging their own grave. They keep saying how the main idea is to keep playing the game to get awesome loot, but now the only reason left to play is to grind Legendaries. Sure, the key word is "grind" but that is what games like these are all about! Otherwise, what is the reason to play at all? How many times can you possibly slaughter the same monsters over and over again?

At least in Diablo 2 you had 1 vs. 1 or free for all PVP. Now it must be free for all or team vs. team...

These guys are literally forcing me to go play Path of Exile...

Forest for the trees.

Crafted legendary sets or pieces are not near as cool as the pieces that have to be found or maybe gambled. This change will make the transition for my characters (70/64 and 70/34 HC) a lot easier. Add to that that the plans still have to drop, so it's not like I'll be able to boot up and just craft some Aughild's.

They're just making it easier for people to get into Torment in the first place, and maybe ease moving up to T3 or T4. If it gets me and my friends into T5-6 rifts that much sooner, I'm for it. Although in reality, I don't think it will move things along that much faster.

I may actually dust off my barb again.

But feel free to play PoE, a lot of people like it. It's still way too sloppily implemented for my taste, but that's just my opinion.

 

[darkewaffle]

I thought the legendary crafting RoS put in was pretty cool with the unique item drops from different mob 'families' but yeah, at the same time most crafted items are little more than "starter" / stat-stick legendaries with possible exception for some of the sets with an RRoG.

 

[smackababy]

Legendary crafting just ended up being a chore for me. It wasn't hard to farm the mats. I looked up the best spots and ran it on T4+ (depending on which mat I was going for, it it involved a lot of trash, T4). It just meant I would have to spend an hour or so gathering the shit, just to craft. No thanks.

Good riddance! Oh, and this means I will have the 3p Aughild's set on every character, lol. =)

It will clear out a lot of space in my stash. I was keeping a lot of those mats for a rainy day. I have been hoarding death's breath for a long time. I will probably craft 3 dozen devastators for my fire build barb.

Same I'm happy to see the leg mats go. Either this or implement them so they don't take up space.

Now if they'd only change the Hellfire ring so the thing was actually worth the time to get. With very very few exceptions everything is RRoG and SoJ for BIS.

 

[Aikouka]

I wonder if Blizzard was just tired of people constantly creating and exiting from games just to look for spawns. It's probably not terribly easy on their servers. I know that I've created games just to check for a single Bounty while in search for a legendary crafting mat.

RROG FTW last night!

 

[silverpig]

I played 5-6 rifts today and got about 15 legendaries, and 5-6 plans, including 3 versions of the same plan in the same rift.

I got 2 WD set pieces (bone tooth...), a nice tall man's finger (first one), and some decent stuff for alts.

I still haven't found a single jade harvester's set item though. Oh well.

 

[lupi]

liking the boost to crafted legendaries and boost to set drop rates.

Yeah too bad I sold most of mine before the change because they started taking up too much room.

 

[redrider4life4]

I finally crafted all my Aughilds/Borns for my WoW/EB Wizard, thought I would be a lot tankier after the reduced dmg, but I actually feel weaker going from 370k life to 320k life. Yeah I lost 50k life, but I gained a lot of -dmg and I switched to deflection for the shield.

I can still crush T4, but T6 I am still going to be limited by not having a SoJ, I need that 30% elite dmg.

 

[silverpig]

What torment? :awe:

That was all T3. I've done a few T4 rifts today and didn't have as much luck. All forgotten souls.

 

[lupi]

Was happy with the gold, thought I'd get more but a bunch of mine didn't go grey, stuff for the portal it seems.

 

[Rhezuss]

Only had 8 of those mats to sell, didn't played much in the past months. 400k gold is so not much nowadays.

I'm at 2.5M gold...i'm poor
