It seems that Horadric Caches do not have a chance to drop Legendary class-specific set items when obtained from Torment bounties. Just as with Kadala and the loot she has available, Horadric Caches are limited to non-Torment-exclusive Legendary items, which basically means any Legendary item in-game apart from class-specific set items, the new RoS themed sets, and a few other … [Read more...]
Farming the Crypt
Hearing all of this hoopla about the Legendary run du jour - the Defiled Crypt Level 2 rinse and repeat - I had to give it a whirl. The run involves killing Manglemaw over and over and over and over and over and over...and over...until orange or green stuff starts dropping. Hearing about how painless and lucrative this can be, I was anxious to give it a go. I started out … [Read more...]
Demon Hunter Demolitionist
After playing for nearly a week in Reaper of Souls, I've settled into a build that I'm really enjoying. The build is somehwat gear dependent, and while I'd prefer not to promote such types of builds, this one is pretty great if you can acquire at least one of the items. One of the first Legendaries I snagged while out adventuring in Act V was Emimei's Duffel. Upon first … [Read more...]
Legendary Bottomless Potions
New in Reaper of Souls, these Legendary potions are unlimited use, but they do share the same 30 second cooldown with regular health potions. Since they also offer the standard 60% health restore, they basically function as a health potion replacement with an added 5 second bonus effect. You simply drag the new Legendary Bottomless potion to the potion slot on your action bar … [Read more...]
Gambling for Legendaries
Patch 2.0.5 Update: Kadala now has a chance to drop Torment-Only Legendaries. There have been some gray areas concerning what items Kadala has available to sell, and whether or not the difficulty level of the game in which you gamble has any effect on the quality of items. Will her items scale with difficulty level? Should I gamble in Torment VI so I have the best chance at … [Read more...]
Augmented Reality App
Blizzard announced a little easter egg of sorts that folks who purchased the Diablo III RoS CE will get to enjoy. Apparently...the art book that comes with the Collector's Edition has a nifty little associated app, which when installed on your phone and used to view the art book, causes the images to come to life on the page. O.O The creatures come alive with animation and … [Read more...]
We’re Off to See the Reaper
Taking my sweet time to get through Act V, I finally went in to face Malthael last night. What an epic fight is all I can say. Kudos to Blizzard for taking the genre to the next level. I fought Malthael with my P57 level 70 Demon Hunter, sporting around 308K HPs and 122K DPS unbuffed. My gear was decent, with a mix of mostly 60-65 rares and a few legendaries. I … [Read more...]
First Impressions
For me, my trip into Sanctuary last night was more of the stop and smell the roses variety. I really wanted to soak in the new content, leaving no corpse un-looted, no vase unbroken, no barrel un-smashed, no corner of the map unexplored, and no bad guys left alive. Although he's the less sturdy of my 2 "mains", I decided to give Act V a go with my Demon Hunter. After about … [Read more...]
