Hrm, that is very interesting. Considering there is still no competitive outlet or real multiplayer purpose (other than chilling with friends) there isn't really a need to be stingy with drop rates. I guess this is a good move. I still can't wait for 2.1 or w/e patch will bring 'endgame' because that more than increased drop rates will really make the game flourish for years to come.

Hello folks,

I come bearing exciting news. Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Anniversary buff we have decided to keep the increased Legendary drop rate once the Anniversary celebration ends. Once the buff is disabled tomorrow morning, you will find that the new base line drop rates for Legendary items will be the same as those you have all enjoyed for the last week.

Happy hunting and link the loot!

Nice. Been playing a fair bit last few days and I agree on Torment 1 the drop rate feels pretty rewarding atm

I was pretty content with finishing my pet and DoT WD last week (no Starmetal though zz). I guess I can deck out a DH and Wiz now too if they're keeping the buff.

Yes. But if I had a physical SoJ, I'd probably use that instead. I could probably use a better amulet, get 15% FA on the mojo, etc, but all of that is just min/max to me.
DoT WD needs a Sun Keeper too but it has Quetz and JH set already. Oh, and a leg cold amulet.

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of is finding too much too fast with the buff. With multiple characters that could do t4-6 with ease already before this week I though it was a pretty good pace, maybe just a little bit too hard to find that one specific weapon to do the build you want but that's it. With the buff staying I'll definitely be playing more hardcore since my main classes on softcore are only lacking a few possible upgrades.

I guess while the buff is still active it's time to farm act 1 normals for a dex rorg and get a ton of rift keystone fragments while it's still buffed.

well without the AH there's no need to cater to the hardcore players, who generate the goods on the market, or depress drop rate so much that casuals have to buy stuff with cash. it'll get everyone more geared up for next wave of content.

With the torment buff to caches, is it now better to farm them on t2 if you're looking for rorg, or is it still best to do it on normal?


Normal because Torment Caches can drop the set legendaries as well so the loot table is larger.


Anecdotal evidence, but after doing dozens of normal caches and less than half as many on t2/t3, i finally got a RoRG from a t3 cache last night (on my sworn last run for the night too!) I wasn't seeing any of the cache legs at all drop on normal.

Lightning probably most synergies followed by Fire. Those two are distinctively 1-2.

Fire is easier to gear for than lightning(no owe requirements, higher damage with generator less ltk). Lightning has a more involved play style though with mythic rhythm snapshotting and good utility. Sucks that lightning ltk has a hitbox that's smaller than the already pathetic range so you can miss enemies standing right in front of you. Can't proc hov without using lightning ltk either, otherwise I'd use bells. Lightning requires soh and odyn son for the procs damage to really even come close to fire ltk damage.

Also in bis gear you can get out dpsd by a Garg or tmf zombie dog. If you can live with all that, then maybe DPs monk is for you.

Other builds are foe sss builds, I have a 2700+/49% one, and while its fun to nuke for upwards of 3-400m, its not a very practical build.

Is Light Monk really that bad? I mean with Fire%, the highest you can go is 60% (Magefist, Cinder, Devastator). Lightning you can go up to 85% (Eye of the Storm, TGod Vigor, WKL, Odyn Son). I don't really play Monk (OWE is so off putting) but it sounds like the LTK runes are just very unbalanced.

Fire has: GNK(huge, fire scaling 300-400% aoe+300-400% again on single target on LTK), sankis, magefist, cinder, and cinder let's you infinitely LTK in epiphany with the right gear.

Lightning monk isn't bad. It's just worse than fire atm. You get Haunt of Vaxo(clones cast EP and CS, which is fucking amazing), Andariel's is better than EoTS because lightning scales linearly with attack speed, and makes the build a lot more fluid, and you bring quite a bit of utility with stuns. It's harder to gear because you need rare weaps(SoH#1, OS#2, WKL/TF#3). IIRC GNK still beats both of them on single target even with lightning spec though. Also lightning LTK has a range minimally larger than the hitbox, which is miniscule, so you can miss standing next to a target, and it's pretty much impossible to hit a moving target.

In BiS gear it gets pretty close though, probably within 10-20% of fire.

And sadly, even in BiS gear, WD garg's and TMF dogs can significantly outdps monks, irrespective of spec(~2-3x dps).

I'm sorry for all the mean things I've said about you, Kadala.

I'll probably give it to my Barb since my Crusader will be equipping Akarat's set soon.

Ironically, I haven't had much issue finding Hexing Pants. One randomly dropped for my DH and I could run a physical Zoo/Sentry build but I haven't been playing much DH in the past month. I gambled for a pair for my WD and it was one of the easier gambles (T&T being the hardest, followed by Zuni Armor).
