I'm still unsure what gems I should use with UE Demon hunter. (I usually don't play DH) So far I leveled Bane of the stricken, because it's a safe bet... Not sure about the rest. Maybe Taeguk+Zei's... | ||

I rarely threw legendaries away before and with Kanai's Cube I'm keeping them even more. Guess I'll just have to start throwing them into the Cube to save space! I did get a nice combo with the Cube and my Wizard that is working nicely. Pride's Fall has an affix where all resource costs are reduced by 30% as long as you don't take damage. Not getting hit, taking damage. Using a combination of Wildebeest Gizzard's rank 25 shield and the Wizard own passive shield skill, I get a ~180k shield that rarely breaks completely, keeping the buff up. Even if I take 170k damage as long as the shield doesn't break, neither does the buff. And if it does break, it's only 5 seconds of not getting hit to get it back up (yey Teleport). Combined with the Meteor staff I found yesterday (which itself was crap but its affix was good) I can freely spam Meteor at only 14 AP. | ||

At least a few patches ago, you'd get a set piece every 3k shards or so, so 4k shards without your set wouldn't be anything to raise your eyebrows at. I think they buffed kadala since, but there are also more sets, so I wouldn't feel too sorry for myself. Actually seems like you were lucky with drops overall, but choose to feel unlucky for just below average from kadala.  | ||

I think sets with only 3-4 components are the best for creating more builds. At least there is the cube now for legendary passives. So it is not that bad | ||

I'm sure I'm probably alone in that thought, but I'm also sure that were I to log in a month or so 50% of people playing will be waiting for the next season. | ||

You'll only get a regular set item. I will admit I used it to get the final two pieces of Tal Rasha's set after getting a duplicate and having one set item (the amulet) being crap. Rerolled them and am now flinging Meteors all over the place. Having lots of fun and it while it does make it more easy to get a full set, is that really that bad? For rerolling you still need a set item, so getting a double is now helpful, but you still can't get an Ancient that way. For those who want to grind away they can still do so to get a full Ancient set. | ||

And yeh I do think that a game almost entirely based around grinding can have 99.9% of the work done in like 10-15 hours if you're playing efficiently in a group is dumb. | ||

If I got the numbers right, its 10 Forgotten Souls to reroll a set item to another one. (which one is random so you can get doubles) To reroll it with Hope of Cain, you need 50 Forgotten Souls for each attempt. Assuming 8 set item rerolls for a 6 item set (getting 2 doubles) and then 1/10 chance for the Ancient: 8x10 = 80 Forgotten Souls to get the 6 set items, none of which will be Ancient. 6x50x10 = 3000 Forgotten Souls assuming that 10% chance and having to roll 10 times for each one (some may take more, some may take less) Keep in mind that even an Ancient roll can still suck. Now I'm nowhere near the top level or running lvl 60-70 rifts, but even half that (1540 Forgotten Souls) would take me months to acquire by myself. Maybe I'm missing something by not speed running low level rifts in groups or something but still, that is a massive amount of Forgotten Souls. | ||

In any event, the real power of the cube isn't to get everything wicked rolled (it's good for that dont get me wrong), it's to close the gap between set bonuses (And obviously to put on specific effects on you) and get you 95% of the way there really quickly, which again I think is dumb, because for most people, and endless grind of the same shit to get paragons and a vey small chance of an item upgrade is a boring end game. Btw, the math we both did was horrible, you have no guarantee of having a set item reroll to what set piece you want it to, but you get the picture. | ||

Something I liked though, is that they changed Mahgda's boss battle, it is way better now, have they changed any other boss battles? Also, I don't understand very well how to get to the new cube thing they implemented? | ||

The fun in diablo (at least for me) is achieving that full set of ancient gear (or close to it) and doing a little (and I do mean a little) bit of gr pushing. With the current changes theyve taken a chunk of the end game out for instant gratification without really providing anything in return. Also, paragon levels need to be removed or capped at 800. I'm sure I'm probably alone in that thought, but I'm also sure that were I to log in a month or so 50% of people playing will be waiting for the next season. I know what you mean. It's both a blessing and a curse, because it reveals IMO the greatest flaw with D3, which is that so much of the endgame is gated behind a wall of RNG. You cannot progress until you get your 6 set and an ancient weapon and in the end it all comes down to rolls. With Kadala alone it comes down to volume but now with the Cube it makes it easier than ever to just reroll the item you have until it has acceptable stats, and then you can reroll it AGAIN at the mystic. Why do you think paragon levels need to be removed or capped? IMO they're a great addition to the game, but what really hurts them is that they are global. I wish they were character specific like in vanilla. The grind to get paragon is one of the constants in this game. It's a time investment. The only downside is how ridiculously OP 4 man groups are...and I usually play solo or two man. Then again, I started this season late, so it doesn't really matter. I'm just here to see what cool stuff I can do with the Cube. I can see how it might be boring to get paragon points, etc, but for me as a HC player the end game is to see how far I can push GR before I die, which is IMO pretty satisfying at the end of each season. It gives a purpose to everything else. It's probably a bit different as a SC. | ||

Speaking of Uliana's it has to be by far the best monk set to play. I'm actually enjoying playing monk for the first time without feeling like I'm shoehorned into a crappy gimmicky build like RotS made me feel last season. | ||
