Yeah unfortunately skull grasp doesn't buff the damage done by the dust devils, only the ability itself.

It's also additive rather than multiplicative.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

I get the impression some of you overestimate what kind of luck/gear we have. I'm a filthy casual who plays maybe 2 hours a day and has no better rings than a decently rolled skull grasp. Yeah I get it, it's been 3 weeks into the season and most of you are pushing Grifts past 65 solo or with your buddies, good for you. I'm still on Torment 5 without a single piece of ancient gear, or even a normal completed set. A lot of us work with what we have/find, with ideal BiS gear missing.

?

I wouldn't criticize you for wearing a skull grasp if it's truly the best ring you've found. I'm criticizing the idea of GAMBLING for a skull grasp. It's a bad item that isn't something you should TRY to get. Of course you should use the best that's available to you as you gear up but that's a very different concept then purposefully trying to get something bad. You're arguing something very, very different.

edit; after looking at your profile, you have a lot you can improve on just by rolling your gear appropriately. I also find it hard to believe thats the best helm you've found by P184. By gambling intelligently and rolling appropriately you should certainly be in the t6-t7 range as you approach P200. You may be an anomaly with bad drops but that's not an excuse to have such poor rolls on the gear you DO have.

Fact is until you can piece together a decent build with your items having synergy with your skills (both offensive and defensive) youre stuck down in t5/6 struggling to clear.

Once you've pieced together a decent build youre probably able to clear T8.

T9-10 comes once you've completed that build.

Higher grifts come from getting ancients + min/maxing stats.

And if you arent using the cookie cutter builds that are viable, forget going above T8.
Useless wet fish.

I still have terrible rings on my "alt" healing monk that I'm doing GR50+ with a buddy with ease. It sucks. Kadala is a cruel mistress. You definitely take what you can get you're right, that pain is shared. But don't gamble or cube for something that isn't optimal haha, that's all. Doesn't matter how casual you are, there are lots of builds/guides to come by these days.

Edit: do the armory (or whatever) profiles not show enchanting/re-rolling on gear??

Edit2: Above post is right about cookie cutter builds. You can break the mold and come up with your own thing and do whatever floats your boat, I'm all for that if that's your fun. But when you're going for a whirlwind build already just shoot for the top, Waste6 is amazing lol, check out a good guide and gamble accordingly, no need to handicap yourself.

For DH using Unhallowed Essence, what's better for damage: (1) Stone of Jordan with 10 max discipline + whatever other ring, or (2) Focus/Restraint?

yeah, it's not even close.

if it helps, just pretend F/R is like a real 100% damage increase not some weak increase that is additive with other bonuses etc., just a raw 100% increase.

Can't really beat that. :D

I reached the stage where my gear is reasonably good, and now I'm bored again of Diablo.
I managed to clear 60, but all my legendary gems are like 20 levels behind good people and I'm half their paragon.

Too much effort required to get more than top80 or whatever I was at the highest.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

Do we have a TL clan or something? I'm having fun playing, but it's kind of lonely. EU, if it isn't obvious.

Its not even 100% increase.

Its 125%.

The two 50% increases are multiplicative with each other. Yes, it is that good.
