I only skimmed through first post but seems to me this is pointless.I could care less what the main stat of the items I give to my follower are as long as it has the stat I do want on them.AKA attack speed and some CDR so the items I do give them are put to use more.Example besides your shield is the ammy that pulls mobs in towards follower.Same with Thunderfurry.I could careless what the main stat of it is I want the power bonus of it.
Now if our own characters benefited from the stats of the items we give the followers that would be a whole different topic.
Blizzard has Leaderboards for both Solo and Group pushes to accommodate all types of play
I didnt read rest of post but this is where it is broken.The so-called solo leader boards and not from solo playing.Maybe less than a hand full of players are within top 5 from solo but thats it.
Since leader boards are tied into paragon points,a true solo player will not reach what someone does within group play,which mean they will not make top spots on boards.
buy the cheapest items (25 blood shards) first until u get good pieces, the rest make the cain's recipe on cube.
Edit: You can increase blood shard capacity by soloing higher grfits.
Which is something you have to do to get last pieces of set.Completing the rank 20 solo will boost capacity a hundred or so and just goes higher the higher you solo.
Even though I could not play this build myself I think I can provide some insight of mechanics.
If you take a look at how AP is generated by getting a refund from source and rune of magic weapon.First the crit part refunding in your case only 3 verses 4 ( i think is max) on source. Now look at your crit chance,seems extremely low.Most of your items that have chance are low rolls and your ammy doesnt even have crit chance.Meaning less chance to crit less AP refunded.
Other than small nit picking of bad rolls on current gear that is only idea I can come up with for your issues outside of not knowing play style.
I just have a question regarding how credit is rewarded in a group setting.
If anyone knows how it is determined on who gets the credit if doing set dungeons with others?
I was trying to help my bro out today who just started season last weekend and is only able to play on weekends.So we spent today working on Seasonal Journey and during I think it was chapter 4 it is just complete a set dungeon.I knew I was able to go in and be with and help but doing so I got the mastery while he got nothing for it.
There will always be complaints because there will always be a scapegoat. Right now it's paragon. Let's just assume Blizzard caps Paragon at 1000 for grifts. Those with more time will have higher gems. Ok, cool. Let's cap gems at 100. Those with more time will fish for the best possible grift. Ok, let's standardize grifts, so it's always the same layout per grift level. Those with more time will minmax the best routes in those standardized maps and still beat you.
Nothing changed, except that you completely gutted the endgame, so that it becomes boring after a few runs. Those with time will always win because even without progress advantages, they'll have the practice and knowledge. It's the same with pro sports. You can't compete with a pro football player even if you're super talented. He has more practice, more knowledge. He is trained to be in a perfect form (which is basically a higher paragonlevel )
That's why there are leagues in professional sports, there are even amateur leagues for those sports. Ppl who has no time are not competing against professionals. That's why I think there should be a paragon league system so people who have low paragons can compete against each other. That would give ppl like me more incentive to play. There could be brackets for every 1000 paragon so we could compare our ability to play the game against the people who invested the same amount of time to the game.
This is a bad comparison for what the topic is about.
Those that are in the D-league of basketball are not there cause of lack of time its lack of talent and development hench the name of the league.
Trying to compare someones play time verses yours isnt going to work either.I might be able to make my time more efficient than you,so i will gain more than you.
I think they should just let you equip the gems you want and gain exp the sameway as you would gain para exp... and just make the exp level numbers higher so you don't end up with out of control gem levels
Something like this would not happen.Blizz would make it so that the gem has to be equipped,which most people use non used gems as augments.Otherwise this would be perfect.As a solo player I will never get my gems higher than what my GR rank is,so if gems leveled by exp value it would make things easier.The exp for gems would have to be larger than what Para is now so it wouldnt get abused.
And relating to the discussion we will see it when it is finished. You know Blizzard is taking the time they need to develop something new. In my personal opinion it could be Diablo Part 4 I don't think they will develop an addon for RoS.
Considering how much Blizzard has invested into RoS (4 patches, each one with a good deal of content), as well as the fact that it is not yet time for D4 (The Nephalem haven't seperated/died/retired, so we would continue to be the Nephalem, so why the fuck would you make a new game with these characters), and the fact that D3 has multiple plot points going on (Valor into Wrath, Diablo the Prime still out and about)... It does not make sense to make D4. Spin-off? Sure. D4? No.
Ros has been dead for 3 seasons, deal with it. They're making Diablo 4, d3 is an epic fail played by either casual noobs or botters
and you are the kind of person who drive away most player with your stupid behavoir, D3 ain't dead, just because it's not what you want it to be doesn't mean it's dead :\ stop pretending your the center of the universe and maybe you'll notice a whole lot of people are still playing this game on and off, just because they are not playing this game 24/7 365 days a years mean they are not playing at all :\ man i'm sick of seeing you complain on every topic their is, if you hate the game so much GET THE FUCK OFF AND DON'T COME BACK :\
No they are playing 24/7 365 you noob thats what a bot is. And you are a part of the other part of the playerbase the casual noob who logs or 2 hrs on his para 700 shitkicker he thinks is good cus you have all ancients well news for you everyone has all perfect ancients but you still do 1/100000000000000000000000000 the damage of Para 3500 gemmed wiz with same gear cus gear means nothing. Yes I will happily drive ppl away from this game, that is my intention very poorly crafted game. If you play anymore its even more of a waste than before because they're making D4, Blizz ultimate weapon against botters and nolifer nerds (SoS) is let them use all their electric to paragon farm 24/7 for a game that they developing sequel for, with NO CHARACTER ROLLOVER LOL!!!
I would have to say that you are the noob hoping to drive the others off the game so you can claim glory in making leader boards cause you cant with so many better players ahead of you.

I have noticed a huge performance issue since last patch.Blizz should be aware of this issue and should put in a quick fix soon.

There is a lot you can do.There is way to much out of place and or just flat out wrong with the link you provided as your account.So I would suggest taking a look at this http://www.diablofans.com/builds/69933-quin69-gr88-dmo-wizard-solo.
You dont even have a rune aligned with Arcane Orb atm which if thats the way you have been playing that in itself is a huge slow down.

The set you are using is bad,people are using Firebirds set for Archon.
And yes it could be you also just as it is me.I just can not play that build at all.I am not looking forward to next season for wiz.
also are you using ice nova all the time to freeze mobs to get the increased toughness from bracers?

The "goal" is to be able to do T10 runs in less than 3 mins,then reach the highest Greater as possible.
Its always worth going farther,and there is no risk period no matter what mode you play since you can always get what was lost back.

And this is still early PTR.And just as in last PTR classes/sets where as you say rly rly strong only to get nerfed.So dont speculate anything on PTR.
