My Crusader just tears through stuff. I’m running a hammerdin and did get lucky on an ancient furnace drop so maybe that is the difference. I have the light set, not the akkhan set and it is just sick how much DPS those twirling hammers do.

4502

I’m still trying to roll for the Lion’s Claw! I’m cubing rare fist weapons so I figure it’s just a matter of time.

It was only after Flow that this build really shined for me, but I suspect I will get that feeling again with Lion’s Claw.

4503

I hope you get it soon…its damn amazing! What spirit builder do you use? I recently switched from Fist of Thunder - Wind Blast to Crippling Wave - Tsunami. With that 2-piece Uliana’s bonus, it hits a LOT more enemies with Exploding Palm and I actually don’t feel I need Gungdo’s Bracers anymore.

4504

My problem isn’t with the Crusader DPS. As I was saying, with the shield bash bracers I’m throwing up some pretty huge numbers in T5. My “paper” DPS is ~750k with ~19.5mil toughness, but with the +300% damage bracers and stacked +physical skill damage boosts, he’s punching well above his 750k DPS weight. It’s just that I find the class boring for some reason. It’s not the melee thing; I enjoy my Barbarian quite a bit. I think it’s the lack of interesting skills and passives. None of the abilities I have to choose from are really worth using. Having condemn crit for 22mil seems paltry when shield bash is critting for 90mil. With the lack of interesting skills, I just end up pressing 4 for Akkhan, right click like crazy, maybe press 1 for shield glare to blind/charm a group. It doesn’t trip my “fun” trigger.

Compare that to my WD, where I’m hitting pretty well all of my buttons all of the time. There is so much skill synergy that it makes it interesting to me.

I’m running Fist of Thunder-Wind Blast as well as my Gungdo gear buffs cold which helps with EP-Impending Doom. I run Fist of Thunder largely to close very quickly with mobs. Hope you can cube yourself a Flow of Eternity soon, there aren’t that many Legendary Daibos out there so you should get one fairly quickly.

4506

I’m using Way of the hundred fists with assimilation rune, if you can hit a small group with the last hit you get a stack for each enemy hit. I’ve seen it go up to ~14 so that’s 14x 5% damage increase for 5 seconds.

4507

Question, because i’m stupid and don’t really research these things before i click the ‘hey, commit 90 unrecoverable hours by clicking here’ button…

So i’m doing season4 hardcore: at end of season, assuming my character still lives, what happens to all the gear/money/gems that i’ve gotten. Does that get rolled into my other hc characters (in the case of the stash/cash)? Does she just become a normal hc character? Does she get to keep the gear she’s wearing?

4508

You keep everything. Anything in the seasonal cache gets mailed to you, and you have a limited amount of time to clear space in your non-seasonal cache and store it.

4509

Also, your paragon experience gets merged, so that’s not wasted either. It’s not purely additive (if you’re 300 paragon in normal and 100 in seasonal, you don’t get 400, but rather as I understand it the total experience gained is merged), but it’s still pretty much as if you had gained the same amount of paragon experience on your other characters. The only downside to doing seasonal is running out of character slots.

Wait, what?

When you salvage a lego, you get a forgotten soul. There’s no way to use a DB by accident.

Did you use the reforge lego option by accident? It is extremely expensive, yeah.

4512

Thanks for posting this. I never tried WotHF+Assimilation because it sounded like it would just take too long to get the bonus up. Now that I know the third hit can hit multiple mobs and you get the damage increase for each mob, I think I’ll give this a try and swap back to Gungdo.

4513

I think he’s talking about using the Cube to strip the legendary item down.

4514

I did that once yesterday. They should really change the formula or make you select it.

TOO LATE ADAM B. Too late… sob

4515

I didn’t realise the buff was that huge! I used to use WoHF. Guess I’ll be using Dashing Strike to close then!

4516

Just trying to grind out mah bonus weekend to make up for being a dumbass up in hurr.

Also, almost lost my Wizard twice against Malthael. It’s possible the last time I fought him was on like T4. Yikes.

4517

Hit 70 with my seasonal WD a day or two ago and he’s starting to get more powerful. I really like what they’ve done with the game, though the endgame stuff in Path of Exile still seems more interesting - however D3 has a more polished feel for sure.

Also, Act 2 - 5 bounties sure can be annoying, I see why everything I ever read talks about only running Act I bounties to be more ‘efficient.’ However, this weekend is all about gathering mats so I’m doin’ em all.

4518

I find all the act bounties much of a muchness. Sometimes you get to kill Kulle and sometimes you have to clear the damn Plague Tunnels…

4519

Anything where you have to either navigate all over the map to find a bunch of stuff, or get to level 2 of something and clear it, is annoying.

BTW, everytime I do a rift and see the words “The shadows gather and a new evil walks the earth,” I can’t help think about the presidential campaign…

It wouldn’t be as bad if the arrows just came up straight away. The annoying thing really is having to find the exit or shrine/chest/hostage.
