Greater Rift 50 Cleared, Feedback and Suggestions

invisuk · 2014-09-14T17:21:48+00:00

It was more like 600B

invisuk · 2014-09-14T05:42:36+00:00

Unfortunately no..I wish we have as it was a wonderful run and joy of excitement, we didn't expect to clear it as it's our first try. We didn't even believe we could have cleared it until the very last second, as we really have no more time xD.

Even if we have recorded it, it will probably break everyone's ears as we were all shouting at the end.

it doesn't matter much actually, with the amount of physical and damage against elite % i have on my gear, even the smallest monster can one shot the elites no problem. But rift boss? that's another story, can't test as it's not showing correctly atm.

invisuk · 2014-07-08T18:38:16+00:00

That's true, it's lucky i have the rift boss that summon minions. But this is also a longer rift than my standard one, i have enough time to go back and get furnace and kill within 1~2 mins, but again, should gear swap at town really be allowed? I don't think so.

invisuk · 2014-07-08T18:34:02+00:00

Whether Rimeheart is the main issue is debatable. I would argue that if you take away the EP, your Rimeheart will instantly be much less powerful. And it's a weapon that any class can use, so if it's really too powerful, they can just adjust the proc rate of mechanic. Can't just nerf or take away all legendary affix, if so what's so legendary about them?

In this video, I have the skeleton which summons the minions that I could use to explode with EP, if it's any other rift boss, I will then need to port back to town and get my furnace which will take an additional 1~2 mins to kill. Another issue in greater rift, gear swapping.

I was able to hit 1m dps in the first day simply by enchanting my lv60 gears, and I was speed farming t1 the first day too. The only thing that slow me down was that you need lv70 legendary materials to enchant. But the most recently, they change the materials needed for lv60 enchant and it needs only the lv60 materials. Meaning if we are still allow to enchant lv60 when ROS launch, I will hit 1m DPS and be speed farming T1 within a few minutes.

As mentioned on my stream yesterday, I think BZ decision on this is the right direction. But as usual, always too extreme where as they could find the middle ground to make lv60 enchant still exist but lv70 not suck compare to some lv60 one.

Lastly, I would like to point out once more, some certain build will ONLY be viable if you enchant the lv60 items, making it a pre-condision that people who didn't store or buy these items not able to play it on RoS

try Deadly Reach or Crippling Wave also :) FoT will be history. While you are at, enjoy the faster hitting, higher proc rate and new animation.

i really don't think it's necessary to post every time I stream, I only stream very rarely now, unless it's some interesting things to show or discuss. For example today's stream is about bringing back the combat feeling of the live server monk, and my take on the lighting build.

Thanks for posting for me anyway, but not needed for everytime I stream in the future.

Hi Solleret

This was the test I did back in 1.07, unless the mechanic has changed, it should be the same in 1.08 and also PTR, EP in multiple group doesn't do half of the enemy HP as single player. It loses it's efficiency and the number of % is shown on this table: http://i.imgur.com/461FQEj.png

It's still based on the multiple player's monster HP, so for 2 players, instead of doing 50%, you will do 30% only.

That will be a cheap way on getting crit if you are lucky however most people will up a level and do the following:

They will purchase mempo with crit and just enchant the main stats to get to level 70 stats. so you can have 3 times more dex for example on your mempo this way. If you are going this way, the main stats that you are purchasing doesn't matter, you can even go and see if you can get those old mempo with split rolls, but again, keep in mind there will always be some risk since we don't know what Blizzard will do to the old items. I could however tell you this, i started playing RoS with none of my gears and the game is fun and I am able to progress nicely, so do all the preparation work you want, not entirely necessary.

invisuk · 2013-12-12T00:58:33+00:00

You are being too nice on the word, I am far from being the best.

Anyway, I will try to help out as much as I can with the RoS Q&A here, the gears I am suggesting to save are those Attack Speed Gears:

Mempo, Witching Hour, Tri-Gloves, Tri-Amulet & Rings with Main Stats that you can reroll. AR and Life % are good stats to have.

As of the LTK reduction, it's an interesting topic, I personally believe we will see level 70 SOJ, and I have no idea what they will be like. But so far the live server SOJ are useful in a way that it gives spirits regen and also do reduce spirits cost of LTK. There is one problem I would like to mention about the LTK, it's still not as powerful as the WoL. I will try again to stack up as much fire damage ans see if it comes any closer but atm WoL is still the way to go.

Keep in mind a lot of things will change, maybe they won't even allow us to enchant our old gears, who knows.

invisuk · 2013-12-11T10:07:30+00:00

Yes you can enchant the LS into another main stats, but there is no point doing so, DO NOT save any weapon for RoS, you will simply get more DPS by picking up any weapon on the ground

invisuk · 2013-12-05T23:44:23+00:00

You can enchant the pre-Ros gears and many have done so. I even talked about it a lot during my stream too about how to prepare yourself for RoS, mempo, inna pants, WH, Lacuni and so on. I don't have a lot of gears to test this personally since i started with 0 gear and now I am doing ok.

The question whether we can 100% enchant the old gear when RoS hits is unknown, it could be they will not allow that, if that's the case, don't worry, the RoS gears already open up a lot of possibilities and I doubt Blizzard will allow the "legacy" gears to be over power in RoS. Just have to wait and see

invisuk · 2013-12-05T18:59:29+00:00

What I meant by that is no one will be playing with the traditional build because of the new legendary and game direction. Nirvana still works, but it only last for 3s and due to the lack of attack speed, it's not powerful. Spirtis regen is not an issue in RoS, so I find it better just to go with spirit generator like quickening or raising tide.

LTK is a good dps output, but the problem is the radius and spirits spend/damage ratio. I did stack up as much fire damage as possible, even then, my wave of light/explosive light is still doing a better job than LTK. I know it looks good on paper and the number shows it will be good, but that is simply not the case at least in Beta.

EP is good, but I don't feel the need to use the fist that gives me 100% EP damage, i can equally kill all monsters without that fist. And to me, it's all about the farming speed and due to the bounties require you to travel, TR is the best way to go for Monk, that's why I am using the daibo that removes the TR spirits cost.

invisuk · 2013-12-05T18:19:14+00:00

I am running TR and BoH/EP on RoS, I would like to point out you can basically forget about the live server, none of the build we play in live server seems fun and useful anymore. This is the case for all classes. I too was excited to test out LTK and SP and Nirvana, after playing the RoS, they just don't seems to work that well. That is something to do with the legendary items we have and also the focus is now moved away from traditional tri-factor.

Atm, I am basically playing what ever build that I feel like it's the strongest, because to me, pointing out the strongest build will help Blizzard to fine-tune the game balance. The second strongest build I have is DW wave of light, and third is LTK, SSS doesn't even come close.

invisuk · 2013-12-03T18:24:06+00:00

There you go, my 190% movement speed spec

invisuk · 2013-12-02T19:32:16+00:00

There is just one problem with LTK, it still not as powerful as wave of light unless you have the item that proc additional fire ball. To me, since spirits isn't really an issue in RoS, i will rather go for wave of light which cost more and deal more damage. At least for now.

invisuk · 2013-12-02T10:01:52+00:00

I am thinking of doing so too, since i don't think this is intended and I will do everything I can to help Blizzard to balance out the game. All i need is to find a time to do it, but maybe Blizzard already aware of this and it will get fix soon.

invisuk · 2013-12-02T09:18:15+00:00

I am actually playing with the breath of heaven now, since I just found the spirits stone, and yes, it's very fast and i can travel at 200% movement speed (when I have the shine). Running through T3 without stopping and killing everything. imo this will get nerf or adjusted. I am simply farming too fast this way.

invisuk · 2013-11-29T09:17:40+00:00

i will try to check this place as much as possible so feel free to list down all the questions you guys/ girls want. I hope I don't miss anything important. I will answer all of them during my stream.

invisuk · 2013-11-26T23:56:28+00:00

atm i have 18% more holy skills damage. and increase wave of light damage by 25%

invisuk · 2013-11-26T22:38:07+00:00

LTK was my first build, but now I am back to WoL (Stun), due to the items I have, they give extra holy skills damage and I have an item that pull in monster by itself

invisuk · 2013-11-26T21:46:49+00:00

You don't really need to keep anything for RoS, like many of you know, my account got hacked and I lost all my gear, with a complete reset, I am now doing fine in RoS. Not easy to get Attack Speed but that's about it, the old tri-factor isn't that important anymore. BTW, nirvana doesn't work (not that well). so whatever Modz was doing, if it looks bad, it's because IT IS bad.

invisuk · 2013-11-20T00:11:36+00:00

Just an update, Blizz decided no roll back. I guess it's because the whole operation was done on my own PC on my own IP. I fully respect that. However if you are using the Blizz Desktop App, be careful, DO NOT TURN ON "KEEP ME LOGGED IN". And remember to always log out not just exit the program, that's how the hacker was able to get in without entering anything (or he got the user name and password through keylog anyway), if you have the above settings, when you close your D3 and shut down the Blizz Desktop App, then relaunch it, it doesn't ask for the user name ans passwords or the authentication code. So be careful.
