Re: D3 patch 2.1.2

the royal ring only drops from act 1 caches trying to find an ancient one

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Wed Jan 14, 2015 1:50 pm

Ah, yeah, that's the only runs I do when doing cache runs myself. Good luck!

I got to play around a bit with the new patch. My thoughts, my new build is a lot higher burst damage but isn't nearly as fun to play as massive lightening ball spam. It may just be because I have an ancient xbow for my new build that I'm using currently that makes my damage seem so much higher *shrug*

I can say that my initial concerns were completely off though and that my DH is doing just fine Smile

Now I need to actually get a usable HFA and find a prides fall, the endless hunt for gear continues.

Not even a whif of anything better for me tonight. Got an ancient Skorn that would have been awesome a long time ago, lol.

I guess it depends on your build, but the two hander is now working wonders for my Barb as all his damage is %weapon damage and fire! Thanks for the Maximus Sticky! I still have not found an ancient, but did get one upgrade as I found a nice socketed ring I could put my legendary gem into.

Do the ancient items only drop in the rifts? I've been running adv mode bounties only, and haven't got one yet out of 20-30 legendary items.

I'm not 100% sure but from what I understand ANY legendary (including set pieces) can be an ancient, it's just RNG. There's a 10% chance of a legendary being an ancient so really if you've only had 20-30 drops it's not unreasonable to see you haven't had any ancients out of those.

by **S7 Sticky** Thu Jan 15, 2015 5:56 pm

they dont only drop in rifts but there is 100% better chance for leg and set to drop in a rift

you must be in T1 or higher for them to drop period. of course the higher t level the better the chance

and yes and leg or set item has a chance when IDing it to roll ancient
can even craft them XD

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Thu Jan 15, 2015 7:42 pm

Can indeed craft them too like Sticky said. Just replaced 2 pieces I run (Aughilds) with better ancient versions.

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Fri Jan 16, 2015 12:19 am

Definitely still not easy at all to upgrade. Other than the 2 items I crafted and a hook up that Sticky gave me I got exactly crap in about 5 hours of playing tonight. Got TONS of legendaries after starting slow but very few ancients, and even those weren't anything useful to me. Was very fun though. Makes a big difference when you are playing with others. Sure I'd like better gear, but having a good time is what it's all about.

by **S7 Sticky** Fri Jan 16, 2015 12:27 am

we did make it to lvl 40 grifts with a 4 man not to bad at all

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Fri Jan 16, 2015 10:27 pm

Just had a nice run in with a pack of goblins with the double goblin boost. Goblins everywhere! lol

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Sat Jan 17, 2015 12:44 am

It's like a fountain of goodies! lol

by **S7 Sticky** Sat Jan 17, 2015 9:48 am

lol win!

by **S7 mrmiller** Wed Jan 21, 2015 8:22 am

What legendary Gems do you all use? I really wasn't using any, as I hated not having the rings and amu I had, but have started experimenting with them lately.

~mrmiller

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Wed Jan 21, 2015 4:31 pm

I use Bane of the Trapped, The pet damage one and the one that gives you like a minute of extra damage against elites. Sorry, can't remember the names right now, at work.

Also, do any of you guys have an extra Unity ring laying around that I could borrow/use for soloing? I have the relic so that my Templar can't die and one unity ring. I'd like one more for him to wear so he can mitigate some of the damage I'm taking at higher Greater Rift levels.

by **S7 Sticky** Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:32 pm

i use Bane of the trapped and Bane of the powerful those are top tier gems do alot of dot damage which you wont see on your sheet but you will notice on the crits ! i do also like the new one that is life per second i have mine leveled up to were i get 73,000 live per second a great tank gem

Husker i have one you can have i never play solo so really no point in me having it still

Thanks dude.

by **S7 Sticky** Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:59 pm

so i found some one who found a starmetal

but he fucked up when rolling it so its not as epic as it could be still its a 2800.0 dmg starmetal

now it sitting in my stash traded for a pair of nice magefist

by **OneBadHuskerFan** Mon Feb 02, 2015 12:05 am

Worked on my Demon Hunter this weekend. Managed a GRift 38 solo run and finished with 3:35 left on the clock, and that's with only 2 ancient pieces, one of which I crafted, and an amulet that still has INT on it, lol. All that time I played my Witch Doctor I was never able to get into the upper 30's on GRifts.

Basically THIS BUILD. I just don't have a good ammy. I switch up the rings a bit and use Unity when doing GRifts, but SoJ when just doing regular T6 rifts.

There's another very similar build to this one but it needs a Pride's Fall helmet and I haven't gotten that yet to try.

by **S7 Sticky** Mon Feb 02, 2015 10:49 am

Yeah, the DH just shreds. I really like the class and I may stick with it for a while to get some ancient stuff. I think I just like having pets/sentries around me to make me feel comfortable, lol.

I have a few characters at lvl 70 now but I am struggling to find good builds/gear for them, anyone wanna help me sometime so I stop getting eaten alive on Torment 6

by **S7 Sticky** Mon Feb 02, 2015 9:20 pm

i have a sh1t load of extra gear in my stash and maul's and on my 2nd account which i use as a bank.

I am always willing to give people the gear just to let you know alot of it is end game gear so finding upgrade to some if not most of the gear i have is really hard and can kind of kill the game ... but if you dont mind just let me know what classes you need geared and ill send some via the mail box or i can join and drop them in game.

as far as builds go ... youtube is the place to go just search for what ever class you want then 2.1.2 (which is the patch were on) builds and several videos will come up for each class showing skill and gear needed to do so

i know for wizard their are two OP build Fire wiz and cold wiz
Demon Hunters or DH their main build is Cold Kridershot Build
Crusader "Sader" main build is Condemned build
Witch Doctor they have 2 build pet build and jade build
Barb their op build is Earth Quack and a good 2nd build is whirlwind
Monks are hit and miss right now (not the funnest class to play)
