Yea.... the one shotting can be a bit ridiculous. How are you even supposed to combat that?

A lot of it is avoidable, which makes the frustration element on the player much higher because you think, "Well shit, if I just dodged that Thunderstorm I'd have been fine, RAAAAAAAAAAAAHFDSLG" etc.
The approach I've taken is to make my Enchantress as much a CC-bot as possible. Have all her CC abilities used, as well as an Azurewrath (~25% chance to freeze on hit) with damage rerolled to Lightning; Wyrdward ring and Dovu amulet (lightning damage stuns + increased stun duration), and IAS/CDR rolls on every slot possible. Oculus Ring with double-IAS roll for 15%IAS. She's basically a machine-gun crowd control fiend. Have the "cannot die" relic on her, though I opted out of using the double Unity because it feels like bad habit-forming move than anything (after a certain level it cannot save you from being one-shot) Works out remarkably well. Can really lock down lots of enemies while I also have my 35% stun per attack (and attacking at ~2.5x/second) that pierces. Not quite as good as a Tiki doc but I prefer the dart playstyle much more anyway |

Mebbe with Windows 10 they will integrate cross platform like they have for Fable.

That would be sweet, indeed. I'm still having a little trouble deciding on which character to use, it's getting me a little frustrated.

I dunno, zipping around and clearing rifts in ~2:00 seems way less tedious than any WD build I've played, even if I love the class

Very true. I have found a new love for a Fist of the Heavens Crusader. Need to give my Monk some love. Pre-RoS she was my most powerful. Still toting a level 60 Bonesaber

Are getting Paragon levels a bit faster for earlier levels now or is it just me? My gear is still pretty horrible as I have no luck on Kadala.

It feels like it was changed, yes. Hell, even at higher levels it still seems faster. Think I am plvl 246, but tend to level every couple rifts.

I don't know, I think we're just so accustomed to the grind at the 400+ level that getting a level every run (or even more frequent) just feels super fast...

I don't understand what a community in the game is. I largely just play with IRL friends and crap, only recently have I even begun to play public games (on account of utterly loathing 95% of online gamers everywhere)

Same here, I only played public games last season all of once, yesterday I did it again but not sure if I will again. I either play alone or with my dad and my uncle when he wants to try his luck at Ubers, and then there was you this past Sunday RDD.

Holy content Tyrael!
Cursed realms sound fun and like they will add interesting challenges. Also like the revamping of the IK set. I felt it should be THEE barb set since it was supposed to be Bul Kathos's. Other stuff too, but still reading through. |

Even though I've been playing Monk pretty exclusively lately, I'm really excited about the minor WD changes. Upping the proc rate on Fetish Sycophants is gravy, and the new Zuni 6pc looks interesting. I've been running Wave of Mutilation instead of Piranhado lately (8s cooldown vs 16s) so that 100% dmg buff uptime should be relatively easy to maintain. Great for Dart Doc since we don't get the 100% buff from Mask of Jeram.

I really want to like my Crusader.... just finding it difficult/boring. Only effective build for me ATM is stupid Hammers/Phalanx(Horses which hit hard as FOOK), Akarat's. The rest of the skills aren't really that important.
I want a viable shield bash//sweep attack rune. The Crusader is a fucking armored fortress, they should be all up in there smashing the shit outta shit like a Barb. I don't research builds though, so I am sure there is one that is "decent", but it will be hard to top Phalanx damage. |

Having problems with my Crusader atm. I'm kind of a retard when it comes to builds and I am at the point right now where T1 is a cakewalk but my sheet damage of 310k makes so tedious. Is it worth taking a 1000vit hit to my health to try and get a socket in my weapon or just keep on grinding?

I don't really know anything about Crusaders (literally have 0 mins played on the class) so I don't know the ins and outs or anything, but generally for weapons you want as much damage affixes as possible. It looks like you've already used a reroll on the LPH so you couldn't roll the Vit off anyway.
Generally speaking, sockets do tend to be the highest damage increase on a weapon for rerolls. I'd recommend rolling the LPH off for a socket, until you find a http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/ramaladnis-gift (which adds a socket), in which case I would then reroll the innate socket for 10% damage (or 10% CDR, if that helps your build more) and then Gift it and bam off to the races |

And I'd probably take out the Ruby from your helm for either a Diamond or an Amethyst (I see you're kinda low paragon level so I get wanting to grind a few up, just sayin')

I use something similar to this.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...fQ!afgY!ZbbbYY Phalanx does a shit ton of damage with this. Couple it with a 10 second law (thanks to long arm of the law) that reduces the cost to next to nothing, and you should be able to take down most elites and rift guardians quite easily. Not a HUGE fan of Hammers, but they seem to do the most damage for me at the moment. Shield Gaze is great for regenerating wrath in addition to a little CC. Rightneousness gives you a bigger wrath pool for the wrath hungry Phalanx if you forget or your law is on cooldown. Change a few passives//secondary to what works best for your playstyle. Primary damage dealer will be Phalanx in this build. Not sure how the key layout works on PC, I play on Xbox One. Anyway, I'll load it up and get my exact build/gear. I can run T3 with little effort. Some of your gear needs upgrading, but that comes with time - especially being seasonal. If you aren't having survival issues, definitely replace your gems with rubies and diamond/amethyst in your helm. |

Got a legendary fist for my monk last night that damn near doubles Exploding Palm damage. Changed my build to use exploding palm in addition to a wave of light that casts @ the enemy location. Things are very explody now and she does high 900k dps with nearly the same amount of life.
Still using that god damn bonesabre from level 60 |

Most likely switch out the helm shortly just trying to build up a few more Marquis Rubies as I only have 8 atm and 60+ of the others asiode from diamonds which are kind low as well

Here is the gear I am using
Weapon - Cinderswitch (2h legendary axe- blacksmith recipe). Socketed with Emerald Gauntlets - Gauntlets of Akkhan Shoulders- Pauldrons of Akkhan (2 piece bonus reduces resource cost 50% while Akarats is active) Chest - Roland's Blessing - 3 rubies socketed Helm - Roland's Visage - Amethyst socketed Amulet - The Traveler's Pledge Bracers - Reaper's Wraps (helps with wrath regen for Phalanx spam) Shield - Ancient Legendary Ivory Tower socketed with Ruby Rings - Royal Ring of Grandeur and Compass rose (socketed with legendary IAS gem) Potion Mod - Bottomless Potion of the Tower Boots - Ice Climbers (new ones, not pre-2.1 - gives immunity to freeze and immobilize effects) Pants - Cuisses of Akkhan - 2 ruby sockets Belt - Fleeting Strap That brings my base stats to: 603k DPS 18.4 Million defense 1238k life |
