Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

[belak]

It comes out tonight! Anyone else excited? I know I have a tough decision between that or TF2 tonight.

[Gizanked]

I wish I had more time to play but with a kid it is getting harder to play more.

[YoullNeverWalkAlone]

I want to hear an update from you belak after you play....

[belak]

I didn't get as much time to play last night as I would have liked, but I'll hopefully have an update in the upcoming week.

The recent patch seems to have made loot much better and the removal of the auction house balances it a lot more. I haven't gotten to the new content yet though since I'm hoping to get there with a new character.

I started playing with the Crusader and so far it's been really fun. It plays like a WoW tank, for the most part, with a number of moves that damage lots of people around you. We'll see how that goes when I'm at higher levels though.

There are some crazy things you can get as drops now. A couple of set bonus are straight up just bonkers.

Ah, good call. I'm belak#1731.

I just picked up the expansion this weekend and am liking the changes so far. What difficulty are all you running so far? I just beat the game and went straight to torment 1 and it doesn't seem all that bad. ETEddieTorez#1883

[belak]

I just beat the game the other day with my main... I'm at 57 so far, aiming for 60. The game's a lot more fun with all the balance changes they made. Still farming on normal though, since the loot doesn't seem to be THAT much better on higher difficulties.

[Larry]

I do Expert at the very least. Normal is a little bit too squishy, and the jump between the two isn't that bad. Master isn't that bad once you have good gear either. Once I get some good rollls at the ol' enchanting toilet, I'll probably move up to T1 on my DH.

[BETTEH]

One of the best (and in some cases the only way to get certain items) ways to get gear is normal split bounty farming on adventure mode for the caches. Most of the time you will see people looking for just Act 1 split bounties as they want to farm just that zone for the shrine gloves (10 min buff from shrines) or the Royal Ring of Grandeur (reduces your sets costs by 1 for set bonuses).

Other than that you want to be doing Torment 1 rifts if possible since they recently ramped up legendary drop rates for rifts, as well as the legendary set pieces only dropping in T1 or higher. Bloodshards are also a nice way to get pieces for your character.

[E.T. EddieTorrez]

I've been running torment 1 pretty easily for a while now. What do you mean by split bounty? One person does act 1 bounties while another does act 2?

[Larry]

So I stumbled on this earlier...

LUCKY! Did you get any good loot?

[Larry]

I think i managed to get 4 or 5 goblins, with the buff i got two legendaries and a nice plan. The two werent that amazing though.

[E.T. EddieTorrez]

Holy wow that is crazy!
