Lol nope...
There was one happy druid running around last night

That teleport shrine chaos!

I also picked up what will be a nice upgrade once 2.1 drops. Sword with physical damage boost but no socket - but it bloody rolled strength. Enchanted to int, and without a socket it was a 14 percent decrease in sheet dmg with a nice boost to toughness and healing. The plus physical more than makes up for that. Socket will add another 25 odd percent when the Crafting mat arrives...

Thank goodness no :D

Not the best roll in the world (low dex) but it does give me four turrets (five if I run with appropriate passive).

Drop a bit of dps and toughness, so I need to play around to find the correct balance. In low T's, tbh, my current setup doesn't require more than two turrets, so will have to see - but at least I have the option available now. Suspect that the bombadier only really comes into it's own if/once I get a Krider.

Anyway, was just good to get something I've been looking for given that I stupidly salvaged mine.

After the last PTR I promised myself I wouldn't play PTR again - although, given that the ladder toon can't use any of the existing stuff I have, I may change my mind :D

Ha ha, lol, that was very funny.

Sinbad and Werries move to the next rift level and miss a Conduit Shrine that I find. I message them saying Conduit here, get ready to run - hit the shrine and TP to them as both of them TP to me - /facepalm moment/ - there we were, all three of us, with the conduit active, in a level that we had already cleared.

We were running T2 last night and I picked up 10 legendaries in 3 1/2 rifts :D

We also hit and smashed a 13 goblin pack - all that loot (plus I got a legendary) :D

Btw, Sinbad, thanks for the Raiment Pants - 500 Dex boost for monk :D (without sockets - still need to roll for those)

Yeah dont worry about sheet DPS with a turret build. When I equip my best possible items i have 1.3m dps. With the turret build gear i have around 1m dps. Did a few runs to Ghom to see and the turret build with 4 turrets were killing him way way faster.

I cant wait to try out the bugfix to sentry attack speed in the new patch, and the increased damage from sentries :D
 
Haha grats, I'm still looking for a rucksack myself...(and some more marauder pieces) :)

You and me both.

Man, it feels so good knowing I have that bombadier - now I must decide if I should roll the dex higher on it or roll another affix on (forgot to leave it equipped so I cant go look to see what the current affixes are)
 
Been away for a few days, so time to get back in the game!

Switched to cluster arrow build, but dropped to 6mil Toughness and 900k dps. T2-T3 still quite easy, but don't know how this will play out in higher T's with a group.
 
Well after using the Kridershot for a while I've gone back to the 2 x1H setup with a Balefire and Nats. This gives 1.6m dps vs 1.1m dps with Krider. The pets and sentries simply hit harder. Now to find that elusive Calamity.
 
Hit 70 3 days ago on my DH. So early days still. Just got into T1 today and some luck was on my side.

Just found my first Mara set piece. The Chest. Now to start the mad gambling and rift farming to find the others. The best part about the Mara set I think is that it always has two main stats that are fixed. So you will always get Dex and something else that is useful. Making it much more likely to roll something that is only 1 enchant away from being 95% optimal.

How long did it take you guys to get 5 and a Royal ring? Or even 3 and a Royal? I am hoping to get at least the 4 set bonus by the time the patch comes out, but I think that might be wishful thinking.

Hit 5 set pieces at around Paragon 250 or so, but that was also before the leg buffs. Shouldnt take too long now, i must have found another 3 complete sets by paragon 350. Royal rings drop like nothing now, must have 7 in my stash, but still no trifecta on it

Woah. I haven't really played since 1 month after RoS on my Wiz. So I haven't had much time to experience the Leg drop rate increase. The last 2 days has been crazy on my DH though. I mean to hit a Mara chest on the 2nd T1 rift. Vs 1 months of play on my Wiz, netting me Zero Torment only legendary items at all.

Got the full marauders set (with RoRG), now what do I look (ie gamble) for specifically? Thinking weapon, then amulets and rings. I'm happy with Aughilds for now in those slots

Oh, and is it better aiming for physical damage or fire?

I would gamble on 2h weapons and gloves. A 2h crossbow is the best for getting high average damage which the sentries base there damage of. Tasker and Theo gloves also allows you to better run 3 spenders for the sentries.

I am running a cold/fire build with knock-back. But you cannot go wrong with a strait fire build

Eish you're lucky. I've played almost the same amount as you, but I'm on 1 Marauder, 0 Bombardier and 0 RoRG (although with better weapons, but that doesn't help much).
 
I also started playing again after the release of 2.1, and got quite lucky with the drops. Found 3 more marauder pieces (I now have all six) and a cindercoat.

I was playing at T2 before the patch, and now I cruise through T6. I must admit, it is a lot of fun to play the Grifts. I've only managed to do grift 25 as of yet, but died 6-7 times and still easily finished it. Those stupid leaping/stunning mobs made me nerd rage quite hard at my PC.

Currently looking for a good 2h crossbow (as specified above) and a second Unity. What 2h xbow would you guys recommend? I am pretty sure that I have salvaged all my 2h xbows in the past for souls. Whatanidiot. :/
