Do you know how rare an outcome the Bardiche is when upgrading a rare? Maybe I just got lucky and the next 97 rares I would have upgraded would have been something else. But if it is close to a 20% chance, I'll say that it's probably worth it, given all the high-quality chests in the area. I guess it depends on how starved you find yourself for DB's.

It's 1 in 3 on Crusader. I normally craft them for the 2 guaranteed pools and ignore chests

What exactly are you gaining from running the cow level? You need to factor in the time it takes to run it, during which you could've just done a regular rift or GR. Cow level is good for getting some crafting mats but I really don't think it's worth crafting upgrading a polearm for.

I'm playing through the season, about GR20ish, and I'm looking for another ancient weapon. My barb found I think a Corrupted Ashbringer that seems pretty cool but I've been running with an one-handed ancient for a while now. Is there a way to roll a legendary into an ancient, or if it's not an ancient when I find it should I shelve it? With one ancient weapon and no set bonus I'm tearing through T4 but it's so reliant on this weapon that I know I could do better.

Some people suggested doing the cow level for Avarice, others complained that the polearm is a rare drop for many classes or that they haven't seen one in a few seasons. I suggested trying to craft the polearm. It's simple, and it's doable if you have trouble or lack gear for T16. (For example, me - my wizard's gear is fine for T13-14, but no decent upgrades have dropped for me in quite a long time and I'm wearing some ancients that don't synergize well just because they're ancient.)

Every upgrade has the same chance of any other upgrade which is 1/total.items.in.pool. There are no weights given for any other behavior or frequency. So a 1/10 will always be a 1/10 each time you click to upgrade.

I thought some items were still more rare than others? Not to the degree they were before but I recall some items are still twice as rare as others of the same type.

My memory is that somewhere around Necro or beyond they normalized the rates. If I remembered wrong then what I said is adjusted as such: An upgrade in the cube is treated the same as if that item type were to drop for your character in the game (in this context pole arms). Each upgrade is treated independently of all other upgrades and will always have the same statistical probability of being whatever legendary from that pool, per the weights set by the devs.

Found the current drop rates: https://www.d3planner.com/game/58979/kadala There are a few items that are 2-4x rarer than others but for the most part things are evenly weighted.

Sources: Blizzard Cancels StarCraft First-Person Shooter To Focus On Diablo 4 And Overwatch 2 Blizzard told the team that Ares was getting axed (alongside a second unannounced mobile project) so that the company could move many of them to the upcoming Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2, both of which are expected to be Blizzard’s marquee announcements at this year’s BlizzCon.

Excited to see how they make diablo suck more thru monetization Like I want to be optimistic but after the last ten years (both of Blizzard specifically and games in general), why would I be? Diablo 2 and 3 are still real good games though. I will be happy to be proven wrong about 4.

For me, the problem with MS and bells is that they're boring in their efficiency. I want to play other things, because holding right click, dashing, and occasionally tapping your cooldown gets really dull, but it's also frustrating to play something more involved that struggles more to do the same difficulty... and also does it slower.

They might be a bit boring, but right now it's the new hot thing I wish I started with. I got bored with WW barb last season, but it was fun trying to get perfect gear to push for another GR level. The only way I could do that without it feeling like an absolute grind was 2 to 3 minute clears at GR 75 or 80. It was efficient and I could get mats for whatever I wanted pretty quick. Wish torment 16 was around last season for the DBs.

They're going to take what works from Heroes of the Storm and apply it to Diablo 4. We'll get transmog sets, bonus "gold" drops, buy packs of blood shards to use on in game stuff. Loot boxes that have items won't be a thing, but they will contain cosmetics. edit: Mounts for Diablo 4. Zaffy fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jun 7, 2019 |

Re: Bovine Bardiche. I hadn't seen the cow level so I tried what Stabby recommended and it worked like a charm. I crafted 3 lvl 70 polearms the upgraded them to legendaries at the cube. 2 out of 3 turned into Bovine Bardiches. I ran through it once and put the other in my stash, but it was incredibly easy once you have the mats. I don't know about the trade off of (rewards from the cow level)/(time to earn mats) but I think it's a consistent way of getting that weapon.

Man the LON season bonus makes alts ridiculously easy to level. Get an ancient weapon with a gem of ease in it and you’ll get to 70 in like an hour, at which point you can equip all sorts of random leftover garbage and still somehow make a very viable build Helps to match the stat as well. I now have a functioning endgame LON shield and LON condemn crusader and they use roughly all the same parts other than weapons

A bit of a shame none of the fist weapon transmogs look very good though. I too am at the 'building up ancients' stage for monk. Started quite well in that department:   Switched from SWK to Inna's 'cause of that - goodbye wind stacks, you won't be missed.

There's also a trick to force the game to t16 for even faster boost if you have rebirths available. (Make a game with your main, invite a friend, leave game and rebirth your new alt -> forces your friend to be the party leader -> rejoin game as a lv1, the game stays t16)

NP, your first goal is to just accumulate all the correct items, Cindercoat, etc. once you have them start replacing them slowly with ancient versions, all this damage stacking will escalate in no time
