Boo hoo.

They have given a way to get stash tabs, it requires you to complete a task. It's too bad that it's a task you don't want to do.

I want hellfire amulets but I don't like searching for keywardens, is that a sound argument that they should make keywardens always be standing right at the waypoint?

Just play a seasonal character and do what you need to get the stash space, then stop playing season if you hate it so much. When the season ends, any xp and items gained will be given to your non-season people.

@rumors: don't you forget that people can use math. It's not so hard to calculate the dmg output of a skill, if you know how the multipliers of that equip works. Sure, there might be weird stuff people will find out, like SC monk (which should have never worked like that in the first place).
@high paragon: it's to show experience. I'd rather have someone with high paragon than someone with low paragon, even if the low paragon players equip is a bit better. Why? Because I know that the high paragon player knows how to play efficiently. He knows when to fight and when to move on. Most random players don't know this and this is basically the only thing that differentiates a 5 minute grift farmgroup from a 8 minute grift farmgroup.
@dashing strike: people wanted that one combo because it enabled more than 55-60. 55-60 is babyplay in group right now. I did 60 solo and I did 70 in a group. And we didn't even try to push it. Dashing Strike is a good build, but it has little group synergy. Same with wizard. They can push solo pretty high, but their group synergy is low.

Yes, one ancient is better than this set but

- Can't use F&R

- Can't be obtained as easily as 6p set, prolly will need to be farmed for days, will make ppl to play bounties again

- Can't maintain 100% akhan uptime

- Can't fuel some abillities (due to lack of resource)

6p sets are easy to obtain, don't leave you a lot of room for creativity (new akhan and IK are the only ones that promote many builds), and simplify your rotation/build.

As other ppl said, most 6p sets iteration are what made d3 so boring, every1 using same set will use same skills, proc items like schafaer are obsolete also, as the massive % dmg increase from most sets only apply to skills, not items (Again, Akhan and IK are excptions).

people will ALWAYS use the same builds because there will always be guides for builds which outperform other builds. Don't fool yourself to think that the game will have such a high diversity with the next patch. Some skills will just be buffed way more than other skills and then everybody will just run around with those.

The difference is just simply that you can now use every skill and build around it so that you can play on T10 with it. But in GRifts, there will be huge differences.

Take GRifts out of the game and 2.4 is basically Diablo2. Highest difficulty is so low that you can play whatever you like when you have the powerful items.

This "none-set" seems very OP and very fun but couldn't a diminishing return work? 800% from the first ancient, 700% for the second, 600% for the forth etc.

I were happy when I read about the reworked Akkhan:

• Armor of Akkhan
• (2) Set Bonus
• Reduce the cost of all abilities by 50% while Akarat's Champion is active
• (4) Set Bonus
• Reduce the cooldown of Akarat's Champion by 50%
• (6) Set Bonus
• While Akarat's Champion is active, you deal 450% increased damage

meaning I could build a crusader with whatever setup I wanted. One ancient is better than that set though.

Thanks shafqin but if you check d3maxstats right corner you see:

Proc Rates are outdated (based on Patch 2.0.6)

So I don't know if they're reliable or not :/

@astec91x:

If SoH have 100% PC and whatever skill you spam have 75% PC then you would have 25% chance not to proc SoH and with something ticking as much as say living lightning then it might look as if it triggers all the time. Could that be the case? Every time SoH proc it should also proc SC (if SoH proc deals dmg to something with SC that is), no?

Probably a 6 piece set? Seems a bit odd if it would be a 7 piece since that opens so many combinations compared to 6 piece. I don't know though, just speculating!

Agree! Sleet Storm is one of my favourite Wizard skills. This patch just seem better and better! #Hype

Great idea! Gotta test how stalg, SoK etc act, will be a bit annoying with SC having so short duration but hey, one gotta work to be paid!

Thanks a lot for clearing some things up and giving me an idea of how PC works, TrueColdkil! Also, #RenewedHopeForMyBuild !

I see, nice to know, thanks!

So we've basically very little information to work with?

Quote from TrueColdkil»

Basically, every skill in the game has an internal proc coefficient that nees to be considered for calculating the effective proc chance of legendary and other specific affixes (like LoH in old patches for example).

Which to me, sounds as if legendary affixes don't have a PC? Since it would be kinda strange for a basic attack to first use its PC to determine if an item will proc then use the items PC to determine if Static Charge proc. Also I assume Static Charge can't proc other things. Endless circle of procs!

I'm still not done with SW:C though! With every crit I'll spawn a cyclone, dealing damage to things wherever the cyclone goes, which is much like Wizard's Shock Pulse: Living Lightning. Would that "cyclone" proc Static Charge? Or I suppose it counts as a passive thing since it spawns from crits instead of me "physically" casting it (as with Living Lightning).

Very useful information nonetheless, even though I'm super disappointed since it more or less broke my build

So i guess Sets remain for the true fans of the sets, and others will mostly play non-set builds and take over the GR sector.

GR sector = 1 - 60 in 4 groups, since heal monk is b`bye :))

Hello there helpful individual! How nice of you to drop by! Let's get down to business.

I'm playing around with a build revolving around monk and their static generator build. This is for 2.4 and while doing this I realized how little I know of basic... Diablo 3 maths(?) and other "invisible" things like "proc coefficient" for instance.

In my case I would love to use Sweeping Wind with Cyclone rune to proc Fist of Thunder: Static Charge. Though it seems SW doesn't have a PC, is that correct? If so, anyone know the reasoning behind why SW and other similar ability's lack PC?

Then it is items. Do items like Fulminator proc Static Charge with its legendary power?

Also, do anyone happen to be sitting on a up-to-date spread cheat over each ability's PC?

How do things like Eff. Toxin work with this set? 2000% weapon damage over 10 sec. How does it increase? If you have an ancient weapon with 2k-3k damage will the DoT do 40k-60k times the set damage increase in damage over 10 sec? Why would it be very powerful, Goriki?

I'm very hyped for this set! Made a "true" static monk for it No idea if it is awesome or not. Keep in mind that I play HC, therefore the build is aimed for that.

Mostly done for fun but, you know, could be fun to play

EDIT: Aaaaaaaaand of cause I'm only using 2.3 items because none of the others are out but you get the idea!

Yeah, true... though some builds might require more crit etc. Still some collecting to do, which is nice!

Most of what I see is complains about this and that. Would trading solve all this, for you? Or are you just frustrated that you feel forced to spend time on a game you don't like to receive rewards you don't care about? What would make you feel happy when playing Diablo III?
