totalnewbie posted:For TR meteor wiz, any suggestions on rings? I'll have Unity and CoE is pretty standard, but I'm considering something else like SoJ or Obs.Zod What cooldown are you desperate to decrease with a Zodiac Ring? Is it worth cutting your toughness in half? SoJ would be strictly worse than CoE. Why would you want to use those rings? You could consider a Halo instead of a Unity, they serve similar purposes. Your other ring should be taken up by Traveler's Pledge. So you get one cube slot and one ring slot for the build. bamhand fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Feb 28, 2018 |

GoGoGadgetChris posted:I never bother with Augments though, so I might be more grumpy if I RIPped a character with 20 hours of Augment Work on them. Yeah, I had a good Etched Sigil and I went through a lot of effort building a gem to 80 for my first augment, and then RIP'd in the first GR90 (which I had previously cleared) I ran after that.  I would take that over this season's RIP, though -- I died with my Sunwuko season set and hadn't taken the time to bring up a gem of ease, let alone amass a stash of spares. Now the RNG is taunting me by giving me 2x of each set. Not enough power to speedfarm.

Oops sorry, I'm only thinking about replacing the CoE. I'm not the biggest fan of having to pay attention to the rotation. Decreased CD on teleport is nice  TR 6 piece needs the amulet slot (source is taken by etched sigil) or RoRG so halo is in the cube and no traveler's.

Decreased CD on teleport is nice Generally for almost every class you go Focus/Restraint + Unity in cube. Or you go Traveler's + CoE + Unity. You can sub in Halo for Unity as a Wizard. Anything else will probably be less optimal for GR's. There really just aren't that many choices for rings really. Also even if you don't pay attention to the CoE bonus at all it's probably still better than SoJ for your damage.

If I drop an item on the ground, you can't see it. Console Non-Season is extremely forgiving though. I can give you any item I want from any time ever, none of that account-bound or time sensitive stuff.

Man, the Master of the Universe conquest is just so far out of balance with the others. Master EIGHT set dungeons?! Like... Get Six Sets to GR55 is challenging enough, and that's fewer sets + actually a part of the core gameplay loop with real rewards.

So I got my first 2 DHset items, then realized apparently future chapter goals already can be fulfilled even if a chapter is still locked. Got my 2nd 2 set items in literally 15 minutes, then a ring dropped that reduces the number of set parts needed for a bonus by 1 and then my gambling shard were full so I gambled and got the set pants for shadow. Long story short I am wrecking poo poo on torment 4 with all set bonuses and am oneshotting bosses with my dagger like nobody's business. Shakram also gets the bonus so I just whirl through everything right now. All I need to complete chapter 4 is 5 jewellery recipes, but sadly none are dropping for me. I must have 3 or 4 by now. Game so extremely fun right now. Edit: I also ended up in the goblin treasury after 1 shooting a goblin and am rich like Trump right now.

I played a wizard and demon hunter last season, ended up amassing 8 sets over time and then went for their set dungeons for achievements since I hadn't done them in the past. You just naturally amass these items as you go, completing it isn't that much harder.

GR55 also requires that you have some accompanying legendaries for some sets. I was lucky enough to have amassed everything by the time I went for it, so I systemically did GR55, then set dungeon.

The reflect is a bit annoying because it's very dependent on enemy density, but it's not that bad if you get a good layout. Just try to find packs of wasps close to any other ranged pack, plop down a bubble, and wait for them to throw a bunch of them before using Wave of Force. It only takes 2 or 3 well placed ones to get the objective done, IIRC.

Where do I go from here guys? I can GSR at about 62 fairly easily. I followed a build pretty well and was able to get a bunch of items that I needed (rings and amulets are still a pain). But yeah... I guess I keep on grinding until I get a perfect build?

I followed a build pretty well and was able to get a bunch of items that I needed (rings and amulets are still a pain). But yeah... I guess I keep on grinding until I get a perfect build? Basically. Get that jewellery, up the levels of your gems (legendary and non-legendary), up your paragon level, roll for better gear (ancients or just better stats in general), enchant gear where the rolls/affixes could be better. At GR62 you should be getting a decent amount of legendaries per run so it shouldn't take you too long to start getting some better stuff. You should also be getting paragon levels at a decent rate until you hit around level 500 when it'll slow down a bit. There are other things like ancient augments but those can wait. 62 is not bad for an incomplete build. What paragon level are you? What level are your legendary gems? Do you have 3 legendary gems slotted even? Alternatively (or at the same time as doing the stuff I mentioned) you can be getting together the items for a better build (assuming there is one for your class, which there might not be). Edit: oh also, bear in mind that enemy health scales faster than enemy damage as you go up the rift levels. This means your DPS is likely to be the limiting factor to going up more. Not that you don't have to increase your survivability as well but once you reach the higher levels it'll be taking you too long to kill the rift guardian and stuff like that.

Even if you completely ignore CoE, it's still 50% more damage (67% more damage if you're a Necro!). There is no logical reason to be annoyed by it, and unlike basically every other item in the game, it allows you the opportunity to finesse a little extra efficiency which again, is only important at the bleeding edge of upper solo GR. Just pretend the buff doesn't exist if it so offends you.
