Diablo 3 Patch 2.0.1 finally here!

Man i was sceptical but i gave it a bash last night after not playing the game since the very 1st big patch after its launch. And im enjoying it a lot. Wish i had a bit more spare time to play. Very 1st item drop was a weapon better than the one that took me freakin forever to get when i played at launch.

Wait until the legendaries and set items starts dropping
 
This patch has not been kind to me.

I have thus far only had 1 upgrade drop for me.
It was an amy. 've had tens of leg drops and still no upgrades.
Managed to score from crafting with shoulders and bracers but yeah. 2.0 does nothing if you were MP8+.

It will still take the same amount of time to find an upgrade now than it did to gather gold to AH an upgrade before.
The difference now is that I have almost 0% chance of finding a good drop for my alts (or followers).

Link to your toon bud, so we can see your other gear.
With all the loot changes its kinda difficult to decide without knowing what your running.

There is the amulet with the constant DPS.

The other amulet I have gives 497 str, 427 to armour, 674 life per hit, reduce resource costs by 5%. Its a 4% dmg, 8% toughness and 34% healing gain but I lose that constant 310% weapon damage around me.

My opinion is go with the amulet with strenght on it, its your primary attribute, that amulet looks more like something for a Wizard, you need the healing and toughness
 
On top of that... the extra 497 strenght is going to boost your damage with + 497% damage which is more than amulet and if you have a rend/WW build then that would add to your AoE damage as well.

Just craft, ignore ALL the damage numbers on crafted items and just look at the level. I geared most of my toons in crafted gear until something better dropped. The actual damages listed on the item in the craft menu seem very wrong with the new itemization, but when you craft level appropriate gear it's fine.
 
Can someone explain to me the difference between dual wielding and using a 2H for a barbarian? I have a mace and shield combo that gives me the same damage stat but with a LOT more toughness than using a 2hander with the same dps.

Why would you want to dual wield? Just for the stats?
 
dual wield offers faster fury generation and triggers more proc based attacks like lifesteal.

Interestingly enough, I have tested both under a wide variety of conditions. I have been pumping weapon gems and paragon points into crit damage and this amulet is critting for 600k+ and all the time, all I have to do is hit something once and it does it again to ALL the mobs around me.

I think it is an interesting loophole for a melee character, massive passive damage in the middle of a horde of mobs, I am keeping that amulet on ;-)
 
Wow, I had good timing then, if it was 100% bonus for the weekend. got it thursday night, and then begun leveling. So much better than when it first came out. Awesome time this weekend. much fun.
 
So gained 30 Paragon levels on Friday-ish. Now Paragon 45, got my Witch Doctor through Act IV and got my new hardcore Witch Doctor to 60. Gained 2 million gold, got a ton of mats and kitted out my hardcore game with a level 10 blacksmith and jeweler and 2 out of the 3 stash tabs. Awesome weekend!

Bring on RoS! Can't wait for the Crusader tomorrow

I don't really want to farm outside of Adventure Mode, plus I spent most of Saturday night with a buddy over skype with my wizard. HOWEVER, I'm all in for Adventure mode farming and nephilim rift runs etc. Also I'll join you in TS this week I'd feeling a little bleh for a bit an wasn't up for group chats. Seems all good now though so count me in!
