kadala finally gave me a jekangbord, so im using a BoP/Jek combo. Overall I find it less efficient at clearing big AoE packs compared to divine well, but my god it slays elite packs, or smaller groups. Single target I still rely on Phalanx obviously but is there any other must have items you guys would suggest I gamble for now? All my shards went into shields for so long, I've lost focus on everything else. I don't want to gamble for weapons yet, 1) because BoP is really good, and 2) I'd be dumb to blow shards before the kadala weapon fix.

Actually, I don't think there is anything worth gambling for on my crusader anymore, rings/amulets would be needed but not really efficient. All I really need now are crusader sets which are not attainable through gambling. Oh well, I'll just spend all my shards on my wiz, I still need a better cindercoat and a mirrorball.

Should wait on the mirror ball after the patch to fix the dmg rolls.

i gambled lut socks from kadala recently (within the last few days).

i found a focus ring. it rolled badly though.

seems like a niche item for some builds, but hard to roll.

oh wow.

also in case you guys didn't see they are buffing cache farming.

1) torment caches can now drop torment specific legendaries
2) torment II and higher will see a significant scaling drop rate of legends from caches

I'm so happy about that cache change, it'll finally be worth it to do bounties on torment on other chars instead of normal runs on my tempest rush monk. They also said they want to increase the amount of blood shards gained from rift guardians above t1 and lower the cost to remove gems from gear.

Well options would then be high torment group clears, T1 split farming, and rifts, rather than normal split farm and rifts(or T1 solo with some really fast clearing builds).
T1 split could probably get into ~6min range for a clear(I can solo a T1 clear in about 10-12 min with CDR TR epiphany), and high torment(4, maybe 5) is probably around 15-20min for a run. Group farming bounties would probably be higher experience than rifts, although drops would probably be inferior to rifts(maybe).

I hate bounties, even in Normal difficulty, they might take longer than you expected if the mission is a shitty one like "find the cave, enter its second level, and clear it" etc... I just hate searching for it.

What annoys me is that if I don't have materials for a rift, and I only have time to play 20 minutes or so, there is not much meaningful I can do, as I most likely don't have time to clear five bounties. :/

Most people don't do split farming in pubs anymore, they just do act 1. You should have time to complete a few in 20 minutes.
And yes, i hate bounties, because outside the key legendaries, they are useless.

I don't see why they don't just scale everything. There's really no point in playing anything between normal and torment 1 if you are trying to be efficient.

i'm not sure i like the scaling change. with things like they are now, there's some asymmetry in terms of rewards. high torment is much better for paragon experience, while lower torment is better for getting stuff.

there was a nice balance of t1 farming groups and high torment farming groups, each pursuing different objectives.

solo farming, which is far weaker in high torment than low torment, was viable.

different builds and even classes can be good in low torment and justify their existence, but now everyone would be rolling the strongest whatever high torment setup. solo play would be something to avoid with high cost, since your high torment clear speed is much less than a group.
