Don't buy headphones from mice and keyboard producers. Go for koss/akg/sennheiser.

Gj, at least your deeds of valor will be remembered.

Valid points, as anyone who's played a Roland's build knows we are married to the Akkhan set for reliable wrath re gen, as well as toughness.

One thing that really stands out to me as well is the Heavenly Strength debuff. We are as of present designed around 2h weapons, BOP, Furnace,FOTF etc. I shouldn't have to say it, but each build has its own place in terms of T6 farming speed/GR viability. Considering this the 20% damage penalty makes no sense to me what so ever, as 2h weps were buffed for every class that could use them not just Crusaders.

So, I jumped back for Season 1 and had a lot of fun leveling fresh new characters.
But the same thing is still keeping me away from sinking hours into the game.The lack of variety in viable builds (and the lack of complaint about it as well) and the game progress relying way to much on luck.

Am I missing something or the top GRifters are all using the same 1-2 builds with few variations of them?
And the fact that those builds are 80% (I just made that number.. I know, but ..whatever..) based on luck to get the gear to use those builds.

Where is the fun in hoping for luck to get to use the 1-2 only viable builds out of of so many possibilities that are just plain useless?
I don't get why Blizz don't just simply buff all of those unused skills?

I'm sure I'm missing something here, so could someone explain to me why the game is still suffering from the lack of builds variety?
And why everyone is alright with the game being almost purely based on luck as far as gear is concerned (Diablo must involve luck indeed, but based only on it.. that sounds bad for a 2014 game) ?

Thanks guys.

So, let's assume your numbers are correct (if they're not, it's irrelevant - this is just an example). 1.6 in 1000 legendary amulets will be a Star of Azkaranth and, of those, only 1/3 will be "good". What this means is that Blizzard wants "good" Star of Azkaranth's to drop at a rate of roughly 0.48 in 1000. Your request is to change the rate from 1.6 in 1000 to 0.48 in 1000 and cause only "good" ones to drop.

I don't see the point. Is this a "warm and fuzzy" feelings thing? The only people this would help is someone who doesn't understand odds.

Unless, of course, your idea is that the droprate stay the same and all of them should be made "good"... In which case, stop being greedy. If anything, Blizzard has gone too far in handing out everything everyone could ever want. Most builds can be completed (to the point where only ever so slight upgrades can be obtained) in under 100 hours of playtime - that's low enough.

The solution is either cap on the Seasonal progress (main stat/paragon/gem levels) or cap on the time played (for example different leagues - 24/100/500 hours - in which your time is ticking while you are online). The first solution focuses on the pushing aspect, while the second combines both efficiency and pushing. Last option is of course working Challenge Rifts mode and competition moved there with regular LBs left just for snapshot options.

Let me ask you a question. How does botting effect your gameplay? Cause i really dont give a damn about bots or leaderboards. I play to have fun and dont gives a shit about what other people are doing.

Hello

Maybe Blizzard should create a Bot realm and Bot Leaderboard so that all the bot creators and users can fight it out to see who's got the best bot in town. And leave the human players alone.

Sounds like a personal attack (of envy) on Quin to me. Maybe your posting image should be a toon with a foot in it's mouth as opposed to a hand through the back of it!
