Not sure what to think

Apr 22, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Skills To Get Their Elemental Type Shifted, Legendary Sources and Mojos To Be Buffed, BoP Working As Intended, Condemn BuildThe 6 piece crusader set was basically blizzard's hotfix during the beta to make the Crusader a viable class for end-game before release.Posted in: News
There is build diversity, but yes it does require armor of akkhan if you are wanting to push to end-game content (Torment-6). For lower difficulties the Crusader is one of the most diverse class in the game currently since there are many weapons that you can literally build around.
It's not like any of the other classes aren't as gear intense as the Crusader to farm T6, your statement is basically true for all classes. -

perhaps he can explain to me what I'm doing wrong because I have much better gear overall from what I've seen from the video clip.

now compare the above to a condemn spec running T6 rifts

Apr 16, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Safe T6 Farming Guide, LastZoul's Maximus Holy Crusader Build, Show Off Your TransmogsOk just tested his exact build with better gear + 6 piece akarat's so that there is no down-time.Posted in: News
Couple points to why I don't believe this is T6 viable (compared to other builds I'm currently already running that are clearing at much faster speeds and I would consider T6 Viable)
- No mobility (it makes it really hard to take advantage of the pet proc when we have 0 mobility skills to maneuver and position outselves)
- Very low DPS output on single target
- The pet is the bulk of the damage in this build (spec isn't really in synergy), this pet also dies way too easily at T6 to elites/rift boss
- Judgetment makes no sense for such a wide AOE build that spams the entire map (judgetment only gives crit bonus for a 20 yard radius and if you notice in his video and I will post my highlight of testing later, a large portion of the attacks don't benefit from the spec)
I even tried a better variation of this build that improves it's damage significantly and it was much much slower than all the other T6 builds that I've tried.
The rift boss alone took over 6 minutes (extremely bad solo dps as mentioned above), even with good RNG and illusionist rift boss (most are not illusionist and are single target), it will still take over 3 minutes with optimal gear.
THIS isn't a TROLL. -

I'm about to test his exact build with much better gear and see if it works or not because I have all the pieces he mentioned in the video. Will report with results after.Quote from JustTryAnotherHaha, mannercookie, there is a video where it seems to do the job. Maybe the paragon level and gear also matter a lot in this case. What happened when you tried it? Was it just non-intuitive, weak, uninteresting or did you straight up die several times? We should get to the bottom of how, when and why builds work or don't work.

BUT based off the testing of my Crusader, I would not consider that to be a T6 efficient build. -

Please dig a little deeper, there are lots of quality content that needs attention because there are tons of misinformation surrounding the game right now for multiple classes. -
Mar 27, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Understanding The Truth Behind The "Damage" Tooltip On Items, Item Level Clarifications, CE's 4D Magicalthough you guys got the gist of it right about DMG modifiers not being included causing wrong % comparisons to show up, if you wanted to be really technical the problems of sheet DPS are much greater than simply the ignorance of damage affixes.Posted in: News

Just FYI
This video was made for people who have been watching my testing and covered topics that were asked numerous times throughout weeks.
If you did not understand nor enjoy the material, then that's fine.
I didn't ask Diablofans to put it on the front page, if you don't like the content and it's boring to you, move along and go on with your day.
pretty simple if you ask me

I was planning on making a short summary video similar to the crusader video before ptr goes down but unfortunately it went down before I had a chance to record.
I did record something really basic last night that I can use but at this point probably best to just wait until Patch hits tomorrow and see what the exact official changes are.
Just bookmark this thread and keep an eye on updates and you'll stay up to date as patch goes live
HC BARB and HC CRUS are both fine, barb performs much better though.

There was one before crit ring got nerfed, pet builds are okay I did test it but I have no idea from which stream it was in so yea

This information is incorrect.
The rings are multiplicative, 50% x 50% and affects the damage of ALL your damage sources.
They are the highest performing rings for the Softcore meta for patch 2.2 as it stands.
Were the best before the nerf, and still are the best.
Might want to take the video down if it's just an explanation of what you wrote in this thread.

I'm gonna try to put something together sometime tomorrow, like a brief 5 min vid that just summarizes the patch for barb.
Not gonna go into too many details of all the different builds, for that I suggest you look at the Original Post of this thread.
It's kind of a mini-compendium and you can look for what your seeking info about.

holy shield bash animation is really clunky and ashbringer proc is only good for luls

yup still viable

@alCuin
Yes that setup is stronger, but I'm assuming it will be hotfixed.
@magier556
BK-Oath, I'll do a summary vid for barb like the crusader one if there's time before PTR goes down.

At the moment I like 5xIK+3WW for solo Grifting, IK /w Hota for groups.

Fire is the best rune for sure, the aoe it gives off the proc and the way it's attack radius works (straight line) is quite efficient.
Physical (last rune) is clearly best for Single Targets but Crumble provides much better timing throughout the entire run.

So I've decided to give some PTR Feedback.

Here's the build and gear setup for the Grift pushing setup

frenzy's aps buff only applies to frenzy so the only benefit is faster animation of focus buff.
the range of bash is slightly more than exact melee range as well where frenzy requires you to be right at melee range to activate.
5 second buff uptime over 4 second is really beneficial
12% > 10%
