I never went higher than T3 except for RIF (T6 sometimes) and i got all my stuff on my wiz and monk by playing only T2 at the highest. I never got anything worthwhile by playing higher T lvl's. For me its a waist of time.

I would probably have geared up sooner but i am a lazy D3 player. I don't like to die and everything must melt before i take it on.
Higher Ts add a certain 'spice' to proceedings - no lollygagging allowed.

Well a T6 Rift takes me 8mins or so, so I don't really see it as a waste of time. Its just more fun than looking at things and they die.

Was there some drop rate nerf that I missed with my AFK'ness this week?

Busy with my 4th T6 Rift and 0 dropps still...

I'm feeling the same, haven't played much since the patch but drops feel a lot less frequent, I've had a couple of T2 runs with the only drop being a soul and 1 with bugger all

I couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about until I saw the pet affix.

My son is busy with a WD build so I've stashed them away for him :p

Oi this game is really funny. You wait months for some item and suddenly it rains from the sky.

Got my last piece of the raiment set last night with a unity ring and a follower relic that that support it.

At last i see some 75m crits with my monk:)

I got another piece as well and just finished playing around with the 6 set. I'm far from optimal (I need the raiment pants instead of helm so I can run the eye of the storm spirit stone for more lightning dmg) but I still feel the set is somewhat inferior to some of the other full set class bonuses. It's definitely gonna take a lot of practice to make it worth while...

I was feeling the same way for a couple weeks. I spent a good few 1000 bloodshards on chests for the last 2-3 weeks looking for either a cindercoat or Akhans chest for my sader...I was close to giving up gambling on chests and I thought I'd never get my set complete.

Then today, within the space of about 1000 shards, I got Akhans chest, shoulders and pants. Gotta ride that RNG wave...

Can someone please explain why the Heart Slaughter is still the better option here?

Sure the CHD gives you a tiny bit more sheet dmg, but its so close you should consider other things and the secondaries.

Does having a faster attack speed suit you? Or is it better to attack slower and do more per hit? What does that 22% Demonic fury do? etc.

If you're using a lot of high cooldown abilities you're almost always better off with a slower weapon.

Some massive poison cloud that deals 250% damage. [This I read online]

The more often I crit, the quicker my cool down.

True. I need something else in the head slot as well. Got a eye of the storm. I finally got a jawbreaker! Its quite a challenge to get the distance right so you can get the charge back. Its not easy to play but it gives us something to do until 2.1 lands.

Found a sweet Magefist, so I've converted my poison pet build to fire. It's going great!

Not sure if you've seen this picture but it's pretty useful to get a feel for the jawbreaker distance:

Makes me wanna get a 16:10 screen, its really hard to get the distance you need dashing downwards. Gonna have to be fast on the fingers on T6 too and I think some of the more confined rifts will always be struggle (the big open ones will be awesome though).

Question: Why do I never see you online?
