Awesome update, wish blizz would do this on their calculator, but they're too busy fishing for conduits in grifts.

that paragon chart doesn't seem right after 800 every level is 122.4 mil

say you end the season with paragon 300

which is 626mil so you should get about 5 levels if you've made it over 800 on nonseason but the calculator says you only get 3

626mil/122.4 is 5. What's worse is say you've got paragon 990 on nonseason your 300 seasonal only translate to 1 level. it should still be 5 unless I don't understand. Am I missing something?

Nah, it's right. 300 season going to 990 > 991 non season sounds right. I'm 671 non season and 271 season and it puts me at 677 (6 levels) non season.

He has a lot more gold find but not nearly raking in the appropriate amount per hour ... because it's a pet build. Swarm/Pestilence/Toxin has a better damage spread than any other skill in the game.

I'm inclined to agree with this ^


With better gold-find rolls/items, I believe MHM's build would gather more gold/hour. I also believe it's easier to put together the featured build than that Pet-focused one (which has some rare items - MoJ, T&T... SK and TotD, to an extent).


Not to demean that particular build, but I believe it's more interesting featuring something with a specific focus on maximizing gold find, because that can either be a limiting factor for seasonal players looking for perfect rolls and getting into the million+ enchant costs, as well as for players coming back. Or for those who just got the expansion (or who got UEE and want to work towards removing that factor).

Yeah, horses for courses. Not to demean MHM's build, it clearly works. I suppose, for me, Anthony's guides just feel more entertaining to watch since he really gets excited by the game. There just seems to be more enthusiasm there. It's not that hard to put together, however. MoJ+T&T is no harder to find than a nice Furnace (and although Sunder was offered as an alternative, it can't compare to that Furnace for the Elite clear.) Again, horses for courses.

The difference is MoJ + TnT is REQUIRED for a successful pet build. Furnace is NOT required for this build, as it doesn't focus on killing elites - that's just a bonus. Also, as previously mentioned, with the same amount of gold find a pet build will not bring in the same amount of gold per hour because the damage spread is not as good.

His build is just a basic pet build + gold find. This build is specifically optimized for gold find and the xp that goes with it.

He has a lot more gold find but not nearly raking in the appropriate amount per hour ... because it's a pet build. Swarm/Pestilence/Toxin has a better damage spread than any other skill in the game.

Isn't the loot of the cubes assigned as you get the item instead of when you open it?

I believe this is still a matter of some debate. I know I have heard of people earning caches on their main and stashing them for an alt with a different mainstat and the alt hets useful items.

I have also seen people copy characters to PTR with caches, and opening them yields totally different contents on live and PTR- Though you can't really judge based on that, you would think that if the items were, in fact, already determined they would be the same after you copied your character to PTR.

Farming a cache on a strength character and opening it on a dex character will give you items with dex rolls. I think there's a blue post somewhere confirming that. However, there's no confirmation regarding class-specific items in caches (like quivers, sources, etc) or how legendaries are generated. But the other part is easy to test if you're not lazy.

I think people jump to conclusions and start typing before actually watching the videos. As others have pointed out (and myself several times), I just wanted to see if there was any correlation with doing things differently ('the junger way') vs. standard farming. Yes, the sample size is limited, and no I'm not going to post every time I pop 25 caches, but what prompted me to initially do this mini-series were the claims of people finding rorgs left and right, which is simply not the case. I've tried several different ways of doing this, and nothing points to any more legendaries or rorgs from caches, with the only benefit - as others have also noted - being that you get more bounties done in less time so you give up world drop legendaries, mats, gems, etc, for more chances at a rorg due to having a larger number of caches. That's all. Don't read into it too much!
