Hmm, so what would be the faster way to get legendaries?
The higher drop chance of Torment or blazing my way through Normal?
I have the Hallowed Defender set and Demon armor (the one with fire res+) set at my Blacksmith and I'm a bit short on Fiery Brimstones to create them all.

My highest DPS char is my Wizard with 142k DPS so I'm not sure if Torment or Normal would be better.
Or would Expert/Master be a faster mid-way point?

I'll probably be reinstalling the game pretty soon here. I got like a level 40 something demon hunter if I remember left on my account from before I quit but I was wondering about the other characters.

Is there a "good" character that most people have decided to play/is a good character to gear farm with now? Like how in D2 they had the Sorceress as the first character most people usually made because of her ease of use, farming quickness, and high dps. Also in that game, all characters had a chance to be awesome, but you generally saw less characters like druids, assassins, and (maybe) amazons than the others. Do people usually see one character being less useful than the others in D3?

I think Wizards are probably the best right now. Barbs probably the worst. DH's have always been pretty good.

But I don't think its anywhere near as big a gap as it was in D2.

core of arreat runs are considered the fastest way to get legends. the rule of thumb now is the higher torment you can go the best, but most high level streamers do it at torment 3. i think normal is a waste of time.

Quality of Items
An items quality is unaffected by difficulty. For example, a level 60 Nailbiter found in Normal has the exact same potential as a level 60 Nailbiter found in Torment VI.
The Drop Chance of a Legendary Item
Normal through Master receive bonuses to experience and gold, but no bonus to the drop chance for a Legendary item.
There is a bonus to the drop chance for a Legendary item starting at Torment I difficulty, and this bonus increases with difficulty. For example, Torment VI has a greater bonus to the chance a Legendary item drops than Torment I does.
There are certain Legendary items that only drop in Torment I - VI.

I think Wizard is the most efficient right now, but I don't agree that barb's are bad. My barb has modest gear and I absolutely crush runs on T3/T4. HOTA smash shit up. I still play my wizard more though, mostly because it's more fresh and new.

how do people build wizards now?

generally speaking, frozen orb or arcane torment. I have gear sets for both builds and while arcane torment is probably more fun, my frozen orb build is much easier to play and probably more efficient for farming.

I'm playing a meteor swarm build because I got cindercoat, magefist and the legendary bracers I got rolled with +fire damage%. I've been trying to farm something to get a frozen orb build but so far have been unlucky with drops.

I have a fire set as well unfortunately the magefists I found were on barb.. I actually think the meteor/fire build I was doing was the most fun out of the arcane/frozen builds, it just didn't seem as practical or efficient. You can do a ton of DPS with fire builds though, it's pretty dang fun. Frozen Orb is just so mindlessly easy and safe so when I get lazy I always go back lol.

Oh if anyone here is playing on the Asian server and is looking for a clan, I took the liberty and set up a Team Liquid clan.

imho the strongest possible build is a pure disintegrate build with a -5 cost reduction legacy soj + some apoc. i can keep it up pretty much constantly and with chaso nexus, i do 6xx% weapon damage to a single targe; for over 30 seconds before i run out of arcane power. here is my profile: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BlackXistenZ-2929/hero/10728055
im at 403k buffed dps... with a soj.
so yeah, this build rocks T6, but obviously it isnt viable without that legacy soj...

what i dont like about FO is that its single target dps is actually quite shitty. it is the best skill in the whole game for clearing spread out trash mobs though... but still... you pretty much have to have a signature spell and at least one resource related passive when using FO. so compared to a disintegrate or arcane torrent build, you lose one active and one passive skillslot.
