I dunno. Considering how garbage the other A1 bounty legs are, i think its fine. You're still souling most of those legs.

whats a good mara6 fire build that triggers cull of the weak and bane of the trapped gem?

i have the best gear for lightning but the builds are underwhelming. cold appears the best, but i dont have an amulet or SoJ for cold. i have at least a SoJ for fire (better one for lit).

Just use fire sentries/cluster bomb/multishot and use a cold elemental arrow rune

The endgame for m6 is now cold using Etrayu. Frost arrow, cluster - maelstrom, multishot - arsenal, sentry - spitfire, companion and then either vault or smoke screen or some escape mechanism. This gets full benefit from Cull the weak, ballistics makes maelstrom rockets do a ton, awareness is vital until they nerf jailer, and custom engineering for trials and pre-bombadier's russak if not usually steady aim.

As for fire using cull the weak the best is to use frost arrow + cluster arrow - loaded for bear or use polar station on your sentries to proc the slow.

i recognize cold is better, but i don't have a cold SoJ or cold amulet. I guess i could just go with a regular ring (until i get my second unity) and ignore the fact that i only have cold dmg on bracers, but is that really better than using fire with a fire Soj?

here is my character for reference:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/dAPhREAk-1843/hero/51716084

also, a 2700 dps one hand crossbow just dropped with great rolls (i didnt even need to enchant). i heard that 2h crossbows are better though unless you can meet certain breakpoints. any thoughts?

You don't need a cold amulet. Most people reroll elemental for sockets on their amulets anyway. As far as soj goes, you won't be using it in solo play anyway if you have tasker and theos or hexing pants since you'll be running rorg and unity. 2h crossbows were the best but 2h bows are the best now.

Looking at the leaderboards, I'm seeing a mixture of 2h xbows and bows. In terms of element, it depends on what you are doing. Cold is best right now for solo play. For group play, I'm seeing a mix of fire and cold. There is an argument for using calamity as well for group play.

WOW that's a huge out of nowhere change. I like buffing the chances for rrog, as it is literally a requirement for so many builds, but that seems so drastic of an increase. Actually now that I think about it of course blizzard took it from one extreme (super hard to get) to another (really easy to get), that's what they always do.


I love this change. Granted, I haven't tried doing any yet but it seems like an awesome change. Every minute I spend doing a bounty is a minute I'm not rifting. It's just something I want to spend as little time on as possible as my chances of getting good, non-rorg drops are severely diminished while doing bounties instead of rifts. Not to mention the stupidity of having normal split bounties being the best way to farm for it for a very long time.

Also, rorg has forced attack speed and life on hit, which is terrible for many builds. It's just too time consuming to get a good one and bounties are obviously not the endgame for many people.

not seeing how bows are better. even with breakpoint scaling, which did not change btw, your sentry damage is still split between cluster, ms, 3rd active (impale, EA etc) and sentry attack+rocket proc. the aspd advantage of bows only affects the latter two substantially. the majority of your damage is still cluster shots and ms shots. for bows to be competitive you'd need one with higher dps/ele dmg mod on it than a xbow.

edit: unless there is nonlinear breakpoint scaling...which i guess is possible. for the 2.85 breakpoint, sentries fire 3 times as fast as the slowest tier, while attack speed required is 2.6 times. this i suppose can give an advantage to bows if it is the case that xbows can't hit this breakpoint.

How do I calculate the chance of upgrading a gem?

Say I can clear up until GRift 20, will I still have a 10% chance to upgrade from 24 to 25?

Its almost like something called google exists where it shows you page after page of charts that shows your question.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

If you think the question is stupid then don't respond. If you think it's easy to find then just do that.
