I'll let you know tonight; I'm Frost orb / Electro goes through enemy build so we'll see. I can always switch to another ice based main spell if need be (got +39% cold damage) but I'm geared for +% on both atm which would be annoying (and costly!) to have to change around again but as you noted nothing major in the patch notes.Completionist wrote: »So apparently wizards got a major nerf?

As soon as I saw the notes I started saving gear to make a fire WD out of mine which also helps for the future (cold Wizard, Fire WD) :PSolvableKnave wrote: »Just reading the notes now, and that's some buffing of the WD's fire skills.
The big thing is the drop rate; not the gem though. Death's Breaths is what, 15% on T1 or something like that which is a huge increase in recipe drop rate.SolvableKnave wrote: »(Level 70 crafted sets no longer require Flawless Royal gems and instead now require Marquise gems
The drop rate of unique Legendary crafting materials has been significantly increased
This matches the drop rate of Death's Breaths
Death's Breaths are no longer required for level 61-70 Rare crafting recipes
Bug Fix: Legendary crafted shields now provide the correct amount of Block Value for their level)
Know the feeling; last piece I need and I farmed it for 2 days straight before reading about the bugged drop rate. I stopped farming to wait until they upped it instead because I was so damn tired of the zone...No mention on Chiltara fix. Still need that Gibbering Gem Stone. Been farming it last few nights now (I know Chiltara is a super rare, but they have admitted that the spawn chance is bugged, and if your lucky enough to get her to spawn, she still may not drop the GGS), and I can now say I hate the Icefall Caves. Prob seeing them 80% of the time.0 -

Yea I could farm T1 with out blinking and now I'll die instead. My Frozen orb damage is down by at least 35% on crits (can't break 4 Mil vs. previous beyond 6 Mil) so the whole build is out the window and all the gear I got needs to be changed.Completionist wrote: »So apparently wizards got a major nerf?

Will see what, if any, Wizard build comes out as viable as the only thing Wizard has going for it was AoE damage and if that's nerfed heavily while other classes got buffed...0 -

About 5 people died from DC in my clan today. Got DC'd once on my Crusader and was lucky enough to survive. Played an alt right after that and didn't get DC'd once. Blizz you so troll.....0 -

DC is not a bug at the end of the day.
There's also a disclaimer before you roll a hardcore character, they can throw that back at you anytime they want. Last year you could mail them about a DC (fake dc or real) and they'd restore the character, but there was a blue post a few months ago stating that they will never do that again for hardcore.
Even if a bug does cause the death of a toon, they most likely will point you to the disclaimer. This is part of the reason why i keep loads of low level legendarys in my stash, and try to keep a few million gold as a float for the inevitable death of whatever hc toon i'm playing. The amount of characters i've lost to lag spikes and dc's is unreal. Of course, they're good excuses to use on being incredibly stupid and/or cocky with pulling more than you can manage or chasing that gobbo through an arcane waller pack 0 -

Hey all,
A series of hotfixes will be deployed today making more adjustments to overall reward structures within the game.
I wanted to take a minute to explain the reasons for the changes that we are making. A driving goal of our design has been to make killing monsters feel rewarding, we want you all to find tons of cool items that you are excited about but more importantly we want you to have fun while doing it.
Rifts have always been intended to be the most efficient play method in the game, currently they aren’t for a number of reasons. Part of this has to do with the high level of efficiency in farming that players find doing things like farming Manglemaw, Razorclaw and any other number of unique monsters. Another contributing element is that farming chests without having to actually fight monsters is far more effective than actually fighting the monsters. It is very important to us that chests are exciting to find and feel rewarding but presently they are far too common and reliable to farm in certain areas of the game.
Finally Kadala, she has always been intended to give players some degree of control over their item upgrades. While we don’t want players to simply pick and choose from a list of items at an excessively high cost, we do want you to have an answer to the question “How do I upgrade my boots?” Kadala is meant to be that answer, she is meant to give you some direct control over the types of items you find. Since we are increasing the overall reward structure of the game she is also going to be increasing but by a larger amount than the rest of the changes since she didn't feel rewarding enough to us.
Without further delay here is a list of the changes that will be coming in the hotfix.
The Bad!
Unique monsters now drop less items.
*Uniques were dropping far more loot than their difficulty would warrant.
Chest spawns have been thinned out across all acts of the game.
*Ideally chests become less common and something that players can’t flip games to farm. It is our goal to make them feel exciting and rewarding when you find them.
The Good!
The bonus legendary drop rate for rifts is being increased from 25% to 100%!
*This means that while in a rift your chance to find a legendary item from monsters, chests, elites, and everything else is double what it is outside of rifts. No this does not mean opening bounty bags in rifts is the new hotness. ;P
Kadala’s legendary drop rate has been significantly increased.
*Blood Shards are meant to be a compelling element of rift rewards and something players are excited to get.
Loot is an incredibly important aspect of Diablo games and we will continue to keep a very close eye on it. If more problems arise we will continue striving to address them. It isn’t our goal to take loot away from people, we just want to make sure they are having as much fun as possible while finding it and these changes all support that goal.
Good hunting and link the loot!

Kadala can just right off feck off. 2x500 shards today and last night - not a single legendary.
Anyway.... My HC barb is level 31 and still alive. I did got some weird random disconect once for no reason at all... I jumped back in asap and all was fine. I never had those before ( I dont count those ddos attacks ).
I just killed Belial, it was pure easy mode. I am playing on normal difficulty as I was told here. I sort of would like to bump it up a bit, but I dont want to lose character on something stupid.
So far, so good!

At no point in the early days did any restore happen for a DC.

This bug has resulted in some HC heroes being restored.
Lag or DC is not a bug.0 -

Threw five shards at her last night and got a legendary helm
Also picked up a new ring. Both significant upgrades.
I also got Firewalker boots, that while on the base is the same stats as my existing boots, it's adds a trail of fire that follows me around damaging enemies, unreal for kiting.
Fiddled with some gear and re-rolls ( ran out of Arcane dust), changed some passives and improved some gems and am now up to 750k. I've a bit more vitality then I would like, but sure you can't ever have too much HP
REALLY need a new weapon to be honest, I'm absolutely sweating for an Azurewrath0 -
