How do you "farm" the vault? The gem is really fun, but not really necessary, after one run of the vault on t6 you are set for the season with money.

do normal game and run through all the zones that have a good gob rate. it's better if you have a party and split farm the acts

Question guys.

I'm on Hardcore, playing Monk.

I found a+ Show Spoiler +

now that is pretty sweet I rerolled some bad stat into 10% crit, I'm currently sitting at 44% (which is plenty high) I just want to be sure that rerolling that 10% to a socket would be better. I'm pretty sure it is, but want to ask the experts first. I'd likely put bane of the trapped in as I'm currently using gizzard and estoric. I will likely run taeguk once I have inna's finished (currently 3/4 sunwuko, 2/4 innas).

character for reference. I know there are some gem upgrades and other efficiency rerolls needed but I've actually been pretty unlucky this season so far (only p101) and I'm pretty broke on gold and souls. I may start doing some bane of the hoarder runs to finally get some gold. I'm trying to save my souls to only reroll gear I'd use endgame, currently only have about 11.

if you're using sunwuko, i'd imagine that holy smite gem outperforms the shit out of 10% CC

If you are at 44% crit with that amulet rolled to 10% then I don't think your base damage can afford to lose the crit for a socket.
Think about it this way - you are wanting to put a bane of the trapped in a socket instead of the crit. Assuming you have rank 25 trapped we're talking ~22% additional dmg plus the aoe slow. But that 10% crit chance at ~350 crit damage I see from your profile means the crit is worth about 35% profile damage.
So if you change from the crit to a socket you will lose more damage than you will gain, even considering a highly ranked trapped gem.

edit: I agree with above that smite gem might be a better option than trapped. I was only comparing trapped to crit in my post.

what about a rank 25 taeguk? the armour bonus with damage is a nice synergy over 10% crit as I'm playing hardcore. What do you think? Also for accuracy my CHD is at 371% and CC would be 34.50% (if i removed 10% on neck)

taeguk is cool with innas because you always have your max amount of taeguk stacks as spirit winds is reduced to 5 spirit (when you're passive regen alone is higher than that per second)

371% CD and 34.5% CC --> 44.5% CC is a damage multiplier of

(1 + 0.445*3.71)/(1 + 0.345*3.71) = 1.16...

If you think you can get a larger damage multiplier (more than +16%) from a third socket, or value defensive stats higher, go for it. Although I see you already did.

I haven`t played like a year or so (probably more ?) , is it friendly for a lvl60 under-farmed char`s to play ?
i thought about buying the expansion and play.
is the game really picked up ? i used to grind for days and find so much crap it was heart breaking

all i ask is to have remotely decent drops every once in a while , due to the fact i have no optimal gear on ANY of my chars , it seems like a reasonable ask , isnt it ?

Thanks in advance for your reply

It takes like 2 days to go 1-70 and start to farm the highest difficulty now.

Allmost every drop is usfull for your char nowadays. Yellows drop left and right and will suit you very well to get your chars from 60-70. At 70 you will find more and more legends and once you got a decent character and a decent farming routine, you will find a large amount of usefull legends.

It's more accessible than ever, but it's still super, super dull at its core. It's just walking around and hoping, really. Just do the same shit over, and over, and over, and over.

Sorry but thats the core of a grind based game like diablo. You do the same shit all over again to become stronger... ever played D2 LoD ?

this may be too late, but there are power level communities that can get you to 70. i dont know why you would do that though. playing through story mode in west march is fun and will get you to 70 pretty easily.

wow another HC seasonal player! nice, that makes 3 now in the guild lols.

btw - I hit my first goal of the season, to get on the leaderboards (I start small), I got #729 on solo HC monk ladder after a relatively easy GR29. I think with my current gear I could push 31/32 fairly safely. My goal for this character is top100 so please no RIP. I really need some better optimized gear, gem levels and a new weapon but I think it's doable. I had a massive scare though when bnet started to lag and I spiked to 1500ms while in a rift. I just ran back to the entrance teleporting the entire way seeing my health go up and down. All I could think was, 'not like this' as I ran what seemed far enough away and managed to TP home after 20 secs of channeling.

in game stat sheet with full taeguk is like 1.1M/26M. RG are still just about the longest part of my clears though which is pretty annoying but standard. I wish D3 had a better damage calculator as sheet DPS is almost entirely pointless.
