Why would you waste money on the AH when it's so easy to find great gear now by playing the game?

Bcuz most of the new loot is still junk compared to good "legacy" stuff?

Quote from MrDrProfessor4

I have to wait for RoS to come out first. Not a lot of people got into the beta.

Quote from Finder

I really hope they don't lock certain legendaries away in Torment. I don't mind them having a higher droprate there, but not a fan people not playing torment having no chance at them at all.

It is certain that this post is written by a harm heart player, but that post has nothing worthy left after filtered by logic and facts.

1. Low drop rate Does anyone still remember what they said about F&F? "You have nothing left to player after farming for 3 days ! This game sucks!" And now they say "I can't get a exciting legendary every next corner. This game sucks! ", and what? He doesn't even play pass EXPERT and he expects a pile of legendary drop? I play on PTR at T3 now, and get averagely 1 legendary per hour even though there is NO high-monster-density rifts, NO gambling, NO cache rewards and NO bounty reward. So I don't think the droprate is low now. Remember, the fact is: What some players want now, is the droprate of MP10 (what they are playing at now live) at MP3/4 (Master/Torment1).
Now what do you think ? 2. Bloodshards: And the dear poster said there is no need to play pass expert because Bloodshards are everything... It certainly DOES NOT remind me of countless complains about "Bloodshards are useless!", and finallymake BLZ allow legendary items to be acquired from gambling. Whoever only play Expert and thinks something useless very valuable... I really don't think he is that "expert". 3. And droprates droprates and... starving monkey? The droprate of F&F is like MP20, and now he has only MP1 (is expert difficulty really as hard as MP1?) droprate. Sure,any human can't adapt instantly.But before complains, he should think, is it because he is starving now, or he was too full?

Surely there are a lot of things need to improved about RoS, too many that can't even be counted with one or two hands. But how can a post that complains about droprates only because: "They want droprates of MP10 (live) or MP20 (F&F) at MP 1/4" move you like this?

You'll know you have Beta if under the Region selection you see Beta: Reaper of Souls above PTR: Diablo III.

Sorry to disapoint but DH are in a worse place in ROS than they were in Original Diablo 3.

Basically, all classes have pulls and group up mechanism as well as high damage AoE, Perma CC or immunity to damage legendary effects while the DH still has to dodge damage in order to survive. In terms of damage it is the worst class by far (Not that it matters too much since Crushing Blow rules the damage of every class.)

Basically, in terms of efficiency and potency it is something like :

- Crusader (Because of bugged Laser and Horse that makes you run through things)
- Barbarian (Because of OP invulnerability belt)
- Monk (Because of Az'tarask fists)
- Witch Doctor (Because of pirhanas, OP frogs with the legenary that makes them aim automatically)
- Wizard (Decent AoE, and lots of perma CC combos)
- Demon Hunter (Has absolutely nothing unique it brings to a group, has worst dps, has worst survivability and worst CC)

I would however remind that the Friends and Family BETA is really not the finished game and things are going to change dramatically. I still think that the DH is beyond Salvation and will never compete with other class because of the 6 skills limitations combined with the 2 ressources system, the very lacking set of skills in many departments (Including CC) and the very fact (that is not going to change anytime soon) that the best way to kill is to group mobs around you and kill them (As every other class does maybe except Wizard) almost all DH skills have blind spots, except those who don't feel like DH spells at all "Fan of knives" or "Strafe".

Basically you have one way to build DH efficiently on the BETA, it is to stack survivability items, stack Crushing Blow, and use a Strafe / Fan of knives or Melee equivalent, equiping the crushing globes mace and play like a barb. I'm pretty sure if it stays that way it won't please Old amazon players of even newer players that want to feel like a ranger hunting demons.

I would nuance my claim as the crushing blow is the worst mechanism ever invented for a Diablo Game and ruins the progression aspect and undermines the difficulty of reaching higher torment levels, and that most efficient classes are based on this stat. So Wait and see.
