AreWeDrunkYet posted:Using a Flavor of Time for the first time, and wow I should not have let the character sheet hit scare me off before. It completely changes running GRs. I felt the same way about Squirts. Once I realized the Fortress Ballista shield completely negates the higher damage taken part it totally changed my GR potential. I went from speed GR85 to speed GR95s.

Decided to do some t16 act 3 bounty runs and get an avarice band tonight before I start running rifts and grifts....I've never had such bad luck trying to get an item from a bounty before.

I've been told that 50% CHC and 500% CHD are good goals to aim for. I'm at 51.5%/533% in my GoD DH and it wouldn't have been possible without dual weapons with an emerald in each.

It makes a bigger difference with supports running ice blink and a znecro with perma crit mobs. More than makes up for the +hungering arrow. Let's you run archery too for +5 crit and hatred as well.

Dross posted:Double weapon is almost always ideal because of the double gems. Yeah I found a Dawn with 64% reduction and am using that now. Would really kill for a Primal or Ancient, I've got 2 Ramadin's or whatever just waiting to be used. Also dunno if I should be using Valla's or Fortress, sorta leaning towards Fortress for more survivability.

The current US challenge rift character has no move speed on gear and no move speed in his paragon stats. The rift itself isn't hard, thankfully. Slogging around in molasses once was more than enough.

Slogging around in molasses once was more than enough. When I first read this my dumb brain thought you were talking about the current reigning rift champion not using move speed and became highly curious at what new unholy meta had developed. A double take sorted that out though.

So I rolled into a primal Won Khim Lau . . . with Attack Speed and Life Per Hit. Obviously I am going to socket it, which one of these should I be rolling off, and for what ( I assume CDR)

If I remember right (played a monk last season) the vast majority of your damage comes from tempest rush cold proc anyway and attack speed only makes you spend more resources. Life per hit is nice to have to help with survivability.

Life per Hit is really nice to have on a weapon since an ancient can roll absurd amounts of it and you generally need another source of LPH other than Paragon to tank through persistent effects like poison / reflect damage in high GR. Very useful on Monks who attack approx a million times per second.

And yes nerds I know that LPH has coefficients that are averaged out across attack speeds stop typing!

I saw that Razeth's Volition was updated to add the Singularity rune to Skeletal Mage. I'm wondering if there's a viable Trag'Oul singularity blood mage mash-up build in there somewhere. Seems like it'd be a free damage bonus over the standard fare?

Seems to be, yes, now that cooldowns persist through death. I powerleveled myself a Demonhunter (70 unique xbow + rank 25 Gem of Ease) and slapped on a clownsuit of uniques and Legacy of Dreams in an amulet and am effortlessly speedclearing GRs up to like T7. I see what folks mean about the Necromancer getting nerfed into oblivion.

Monks generally want a LPH on one of their two weapons and AS% is generally not relevant for monk builds that don't use shenlong. Or at least it is at the bottom of the affixes in the priority list that you want to deal with.

I finally got a weapon, what should I roll off on it? At first I thought maybe try to get the damage closer to 1700 but maybe the LPH for CDR or Area Damage? before anyone says anything about adding a socket to the one I'm currently using: I had five at the time and I currently have six. I didn't waste one.

Def roll off the LPH. I would take CDR or AD depending on if you have 100% vengeance uptime or not.

Life per hit is nice to have to help with survivability. Thanks, went with AS -> CDR. Also, what's the best way to find groups to get gem level ups? Is it the case that you just need to have rolled a Necro or DH to speed level up gems or is there some place people are actually looking for like zDPS monks or whatever. I joined the seasonal rift community but it appears to be dead silent. Don't know if I'll really end up bothering if it is a huge hassle but I don't even know how people are organizing anymore.

bamhand posted:Def roll off the LPH. I would take CDR or AD depending on if you have 100% vengeance uptime or not. Agreed and especially if you're also running Fortress Ballista, because then the shield will negate the bed for LPH. Another benefit of running Fortress Ballista is you can run Squirts without taking additional damage since shield damage doesn't count against it, only life.

I'm close to 100% uptime but probably won't be there yet since I'll be losing a bit of cdr by switching the weapons. Still, at least I've got a big uptick in damage now.

The damage is super low because it's a Helltooth build with Grasp of the Dead for some reason, but at GR55 nothing can really harm you. It's doable if you mostly just ignore the trash mobs and spam elites with Piranhado + Wall. There's a conduit pylon right at the start of the 3rd floor that can make up a lot of lost time.

I mostly play Monk and yeah the sets have completely different gameplay styles. It's great, Raiment is the worst but it's still fun to pair it up with the Shenlong set and just blink through a whole level.

bio347 posted:It's slightly less terrible because CE is cooler than Mages or Lance. I'm personally having a lot of fun on LoD Mages this season. It's glass cannon and cooldown-based as all gently caress, for sure. But it's something I've never really done before and summoning hordes of skeleton archers is great while it lasts. Currently pushed up to 378 on the leaderboard, don't know if I'll have the patience to stay there or get much higher (and I don't have a group to grind gems/paragon with) but it's been fun to try at least.

I still think GoD is kind of dull but support Bolas are a lot more fun for GR speeds + look cool visually.

The primary downside of Switch controls seems to be the inability to target enemies on the edge of the screen with teleport attacks such as Falling Sword, they can no longer target enemies over the edge of terrain.
