That's a pretty bad amuletbut you want crit damage on it.
Will 100% (or close to it) crit damage really be better than 20% lightning%?

re: my soj. Has fire damage, 600ish dex, 30% elite damage and 7% CDR.
I'm thinking of rolling off the dex to socket so I can use the ring for any class; then again, who really uses fire aside from DH and Monk? And CDR isn't useful for perma serenity in 2.2, so what do you guys recommend.

Thanks, i'll look into it then.
How about the bow that my scoundrel is using? Or do I still want that 2h xbow, which I assume is for top end damage? Which are the recommended 2h xbows now?

Better to get crit damage. Only amulets can get up to 100% crit damage.
Both are good obviously, but crit outdoes elemental.
You only want %ele on an amulet if you can re-roll the main stat into it.
Amulets are only worth using if you have at least chd, cc, and a socket. This should be easy to get on a garbage amulet. Set amulets that roll poorly aren't worth using just to fill a slot.
Non ancient, it's just a forgotten soul
Considering I've not even gotten a usable >4,3k vanilla wep on my Monk this is still a game changer
You're not raining on my parade m8
It's not a furnace, but for now it'll do.
my Crusader is rocking that as a transmog.
It really does look neat, but with my Barb's current getup, the Maximus just looks more intimidating.
It's a good torch, I'm just joking. I don't have an ancient one. P570 something.

Looted a Fist of Az today and it's terrible. 76% explosion, non-ancient. :/

In this case it actually was worth it since it lets me get 3 full set bonuses. Aughilds, Sunwoko, and Innas. Obviously I'll be looking for a better one, but yeah. The damage and damage reduction from the Aughilds more than makes up for losing 10% crit. Especially in higher grifts. Trying to improve some other slots now to boost the overall damage which became a problem pushing 41.

How would one get into the Diablo 3 Neogaf clan?
I just picked up the game a few days ago and would like to hang out with the veterans

Shouldn't you just be using Sunwuko and Innas though? Gungdo Gear, Leoric's, and Crudest Boots otherwise. That's what I've seen from high level players anyway (not that it really matters).
GR70 is pretty ridiculous though. Wonder what the bar will be now.
Yup, new PTR patch is live. No notes yet. Data mined stuff:

Just post your battletag here and request an invitation from the clan search in game.
Whenever the next patch hits I should be finally be able to invite people by tag too.

I was following a Quin69 build on Diablofans mostly for solo based around having a Torch. For group play the builds will be different. There's slight alterations available either way.
Of course, that gr70 was insane, but the dude had 100% perfect gear that would never in a million years be obtainable on live. Regardless, it needed a nerf, but with only a 100% damage boost (along with all the item nerfs, IK BB, skull grasp, etc...) I can't help but anticipate that the set is going to feel awful with ancients just dying left and right at anything past 40 again, simply because you don't do enough damage quickly enough to keep them alive. The entire set hinged on that.
Anyhow, hope the PTR goes on longer so we don't get stuck with the extreme nerf before going live, and at least get iterated back up to a middle ground (~200%).

Yeah 500% May have been too good, but cutting it to 100% is an overreaction. Boost it up in between somewhere and it should be fine and playable.
Wonder if the buff will go back live on the PTR. Not really worth it to play on when legendaries aren't throwing themselves at you. And I didn't get a chance to really gear my barb at all on there.

But Barbs were extremely overpowered. I'd wait to see if they can't clear 52ish anymore with IK to call it too much, cause they were so far ahead, a huge nerf was expected. They could have decided to boost everyone a bunch so the new top solo GR would be like 55-60 instead of 49-53, but it's easier to nerf back wizard and barb than to buff the other 4 classes, especially since they seem to be pretty adamant in not changing too much stuff at once or whatever.
Yea Barbs needed a nerf but going from 500 to 100 is extreme no matter how you cut it.
Anyone know what the new Nat 2 PC bonus is? I read it but it makes no sense to me.
And I see that Blizzard is still trying to make Raiment Dashing Strike a thing. At least they buffed the Generator damage.

On the PTR it just says "Reduce the cooldown of Rain of Vengeance by 2 seconds when you hit with a Hatred-generating attack or Hatred-spending attack". I don't know where that datamined 4 is coming from.

Jesus, the barb nerf IS over the top. How do you go from +500% dmg to +100% dmg? What in the fuck were they thinking when they started with 500% and then decided 100% is what is best for it? Oh right they just wing everything, no internal testing.
No complaints here!

I just about capped out anyway, besides the search for better rolls on stuff I already had. And no really beating an ancient torch.
Still I'd say it does feel a tad short.
Not sure what I want to play for S3 yet though. Especially with new builds open to all classes.

Good. I'm already over this season.
Barbs and wizards but recent nerfs are too soon to tell.
Very nice!
Tough to say.. before this patch it was Barbs and Wizards. They are certainly the most changed along with the DH because of the new sets.
I think Season 3 is going to have these 3 being played the most because they got the most new stuff to play around with. The hype of WW's return might push Barb over the top though.

The new DH set was interesting and at least decently competitive, but I think for solo play pushing high grifts marauders will still come out on top.
