Haven't had a chance to watch thew video yet, but wondering, is a Holy Shotgun build relevant without a FotF or is it mandatory to make the build useful
Well, I think Shotgun build is only then really useful, when you get ALL the items you need for it.
But Fate of the Fell is definitely the most important item, since it IS the shotgun. Right now 1 of my beams does 50mill crits. With FotF I suddenly do 3x50m for the same resource cost.
I dont know I just got a Fate to drop and converted to holy shotgun. It jumped me from T2 to T3 If I could get some Akahan or A Royal Ring I would be moving up faster sure but to make it a useful build all you really need is some cooldown/wrath regen and the right build with the FotF to start and it makes a BIG difference.
I am sure once you get all the required gear you can be doing T6 easy but speaking as someone who does not have a lot of time to play but enjoys it when I do the FotF is mandatory to the build but once you have it.... you can feel the difference.
Honestly Ace you aren't far off of where I was when I was soloing T2 I can do T3 now and T2 is a breeze but I needed Item drops. At your point you should be able to do T2 solo if you cant try to increase defensive stats as well since my damage and your is almost aligned. Try to get some of the sets I am wearing and you are already on your way to akahan. Perhaps you can upgrade your Rubies if you have the gold. That will boot you a lot.
Wasn't 2.0 loot out on console versions way before it was patched into pc version?
Sort of? It was more of a loot 1.5 or loot 2.0 beta. It had some but not all of the changes as well as the increased drop chance. So I guess I expect something along those lines. Not 2.1 but something almost there.
it wont take 3months if the console version is at august im guessing mid august max the 2.1 is out
Are you assuming that seasons/season legs hellfire amulet / greater rifts / redone legendaries are going to be in the new console version and or at least patched in on release day? Otherwise I don't think it matters when the console version comes out.
Hi, I have to push this one guys build. I used http://www.diablofans.com/forums/diablo-iii-class-forums/crusader-the-church-of-zakarum/89421-deadsets-guide-collection?comment=2 a variation on that one, until I had a few good drops and was able to start my way into holy shotgun. The problem is a lot of the builds people are talking about are for end game when you have most of Akahan or have royal rings. This starts you off nice until you start getting Akahan and other important items to complement your build. But start there and tweak as you see fit as your item drops allow. In fact check out that guys entire thread he has lots of great builds through the entire development cycle of a Crusader. And Happy Demon Hunting!
Can anyone help me with advice on where to go from here? Gambling pieces to replace. Currently I am trying to get a RRoG but until then any other advice? I am not against using other skills and such as well. I also have a sankis that is decent and plans for that 2 handed fire axe, No Captian Crimsons or Armor of Akhan yet.
So I need some advice. I have no real Idea what I am doing though now that I finally got a leg crusader weapon (sadly not the one I wanted... I was running a Blessed shield before and was hoping for grifalcone) I figured I would try a hammers build to see if I can break out of T1 and into T2. I still seem to be getting killed though from bad combos. Any advice would be great; also I am aiming to switch up my weapon into a slot I just have not been lucky enough for that to happen yet.
Honestly I am really torn. I love the idea of ladders as a fun bit of competition between my friends and I (none of us play enough what with work and family to dream about competing on any other level) I actually like ladder only items with the caviot that they can drop in non-ladder after the season is over. Bagstone brought up the feeling of being left behind... but honestly I have felt that from the beginning how can I compete (stay geared as this is pre seasons) when I have a family a job with over 40 hours a week involved etc. I can't I will never catch up to the people who play all they time, so to me yea I hate the idea of falling further behind but really who do they cater to? The people like me who barely play? Or the people who have wanted this for years now and play totals of over 1000+ hours and are geared up and cant wait for more? I mean I wish this was moddable like in Torchlight 2. I played that with friends with a mod to increase drop rates so that we were geared out in about 5 months of 1-3 hours every few days of playing. I would never be able to experience a full gear out in D3 and thats slightly disappointing especially with all the neat builds and stuiff that require particular legs. But I should not hold back people who have the time. Like I said I am torn.
Picture a line. On one end of the line you have free loot. On the other end you have an impossible grind. If the game is at the first extreme you gear up instantly, get bored, and move on. If it is at the other, you get frustrated or bored and quit. Blizzard is looking for a sweet spot that is very difficult to pin down. Fun is somewhere on the spectrum, it's just about figuring it out with trial and error.
Don't forget that that point of fun is different for everyone. For somone who has the ability to play games for long hours every day, a streamer a super hard core fan etc they want a game that lasts forever because they feel rewarded for their long play. Average fans who like myself are playing regularly but have life obligations that only allow us to play 3 hours a day want more obviously as we have less time to play and want to at least see some full sets for each class in our time even if it isnt best in slot or perfect rolled. And there is the casual gamer who will play this for a few weeks months top who wants to see all the game has to offer even if it he cant have EVERYTHING they will prob have a few classes but not all and maybe want a set or two. They most likely wont get past T1 or T2. And each play style is valid and reasonable for what THEY deem as fun and worth the time. Not to mention all the points of plyastyles between the ones I mentioned. That makes a game like this REALLY hard to play around. Do they favor the hardcore who will be here forever even if it gets old? do they favor the people who will buy the game initially then give it up? we aren't charged for content updates or anything just expansions so all that work the devs do need a reason. It must be insane to balance that in todays market.
That honestly makes me sad that they are pushing this back. I want a real Thorns build damnit. Granted scaling thorns by that my per difficulty was crazy but perhaps scale 25k to 100k thorns from torment 1-6 would be actually useful and support thorns builds. (Sigh) Knew it was too good to be true.
What if they were to combine the two? Rift Portal X drops you down into a wide open field with tall green grass swaying in the gentle breeze, a rickety old picket fence creaks to your left. Then suddenly a chill rushes down your spine as from somewhere far off the faintest whisper of your age-old foe drifts to your ears:
"Moo."
Honestly I would love to see that as the easy access version I described above. Perhaps they should have both. Have the rift boss of the rift cow level drop a Cowbell of the Field (100% drop rate due to it being a really rare rift) or something then from then on go to where you would for whimsey but carry that instead. You end up in the wide open area old school style. That way there is the rift surprise reward for people who want variety and heck they could even make it more rewarding and then have the item access at anytime version be there for people who just want a good old fashioned cow slaughtering time.
I am with ruksak on this one. having it be a random find that just shows up makes it feel like any other rift... just with cows. There is no way to get to it garenteed. I loved the old one and the ability to go when you wanted. All they need to do is take this rift and turn it accessible via whimsyshire route. Collect items get a staff or better yet a cowbell and bam you can go when you like. It doesn't have to be more efficient then any other run. Just average. It allows people who want to see it to see it, show it off to friends that they got it, and just hell mass murder lots of cows. Lower their exp even so that it comes in at around the same as a normal rift or w/e THAT would be more worthy of the Cow Level name then what we got.
More str more vit more crit chance or switch in a skill for Judgement/Resolved for high crit. I Also found that having only one spender helps a lot since you cant be using both at once easily but then again I like having everything on cooldown and just slaming them with high crit from judgement. However I have started to hit a wall around T2 as well so... take my advice with a grain of salt. Though take a look at my build both for help for your own and perhaps people could help us both lol
