It's more likely that Blizzard doesn't want you stacking pure defense and taking twelve hours to clear a rift because that would be a really stupid way to get the record.

i just picked up d3 again, just hit 70 yesterday, friend said they same thing - that i should just farm normal. what's the rationale? i was playing on expert which was 200% more mf/gf? i'm on like 200k dmg and something like <1M toughness.

Some legendaries can only come from certain act caches. There is a list here

I believe the gloves everyone farms in act 2 are the 10 minute shrine gloves because they're overpowered in rifts currently. And the ring is for one less set item for the bonus.

Also, what's the high dps for 1h melee weapons? Cause I found 1h crossbow on my DH with 2700, but can't find 1h melee with more than 2100 on my monk.

It doesn't have to mean that. It could be that the ranks will take the time into account when deciding who is on a higher standing than others.

Wyatt Cheng: New end game challenges... Josh mentioned that the first content patch is going to have Seasons. I'm happy to announce that there is another major feature coming in the patch 2.1, which is going to be what we're internally calling Tiered Rifts. The idea behind that is an actual challenge scenario, where players do increasingly hard Rifts, to try and see who can get the farthest.

The basic mechanics that we have working right now is: you go through the game in Adventure Mode, you do your Bounties, you do a Nephalem Rift. If you clear the Nephalem Rift, there's a chance to get what's called a Greater Rift Token. If you successfully clear the Greater Rift in a certain time limit, then you unlock a Greater Rift Key (Rank 2). If you clear that one, you get Rank 3, etc. Each one is harder than the previous one. Much like Seasons, we're looking at having a leaderboard as well, so you'll be able to compare your progress to the people on your Friends List, your Clan, and the whole region. You'll be able to see who got to the highest Tiered Rift, and what time were they able to obtain on that.

My wizard has a 2440 dps thunderfury and it could have rolled higher.

so with this tiered timed rift thing, i'm thinking about optimal party setup to clear softcore rifts fast.

you probably want a monk, dh and wiz as monk and dh can buff party damage with overawe and calamity/deathmark. wiz is really good aoe dps and some crowd control.
