Damn i haven't got time to open D3 today!

busy moving to new house ka?

nothing new...

EP is still awesome in RoS.

in theory yes. both CB and EP deal damage not based on your DPS, but the insane HP of the mobs. So, it does not matter (too much) if mobs has high HP.

but in practice, Torment 6 mobs deals too much damage to me. i have 10mil EHP and i tried using Crippling Wave instead of FoT to lower mobs damage, it's do-able but as soon as Elite comes in with their arcane, etc, i died in 1-shot. I supposed if I can further improve my EHP or getting some legendary that provide shielding, Torment 6 is do-able.

Actually I have not watch any stream on RoS yet How are they doing? I mostly farm Torment 1, and 2 is now do-able.

MadCow has been very hardworking this weekend! Farming Torment 2 was very fruitful!

Found a green ring - Litany of the Undaunted. Gave me Int, converted into Dex.



Found the Legendary "Thunderfury"!



And a very useful chest armor "Shi Mizu's Haori" that "While below 30% life, all attacks are guaranteed Critical Hits"

according to blue, the plan will not scale.

i found a "Demon's Hide" legendary plan, but somehow don't have enough mat to craft it. From what I know, all crafting are still work in progress.

Monk's wet dream...

Managed to achieved 69% cool down reduction because my the legendary gloves that make shrine effect least one hour. With Ascension rune, only need to tank 2 second... And if you want full immunity... There is still 7ss! Will try torment 6 later when I got back...

Torment 2 video for now...

Madcow now own Torment 2

Found the "Sledge Fist"! Only 33% chance to stun Not really suitable for my current build... with this I have reduced DPS, but Toughness increased to 15.9mil... too much for Torment 2...

Found the mat to craft legendary! Demon Skin! But cannot pick up. Bug.

MadCow in Torment 3! Do-able! See the awesomeness of Epiphany.

Epiphany - Cooldown 90 seconds. Have an Epiphany, increasing your Spirit regeneration per second by 35 and enabling your melee attacks to instantly dash to your target for 15 seconds

Runes:

Desert Shroud - Infuse yourself with sand, reducing damage taken by 50%
Ascendance - Charge yourself with Lightning, causing your next attack after moving 10 yards to stun for 1.5 seconds
Soothing Mist - Imbue yourself with water, causing your abilities to heal yourself and allies within 30 yards for 13661 Life. Heal amount is increased by 25% of your Health Globe Healing Bonus
Windwalker - Each enemy killed during your Epiphany increases your Attack Speed by 3% for the remaining duration of Epiphany
Inner Fire - Engulf yourself with flames, causing your attacks to assault enemies in front of you for 353% weapon damage as fire.

With cool down of 90 seconds, you want to use this skill only with Elite. Once activated, you want to finish the E in 15 seconds! Within that 15 seconds, you "almost" got endless spirit regen (35 a second!) to spam bell. Because of my high Life per Spirit spent, by spamming bell, I heal myself quickly too.

The animation you see in the video is due to dashing to target when I spam "Explosive Light" on the mobs. Elite killing skill!

I want to finish E fast... so "Inner Fire".

I am not sure what to make of Elite in RoS. Sometimes, they don't even drop anything...

ps: Quillback T2 HP: 18,775,388. Champion Quillback T2: 317,844,896. Quillback minion: 156,566,848.

So, it's something like 10 times for minions, 25 times for champion.

Not sure what is the ratio in D3 but i do feel like the Elite has reduced HP.

Not sure if this is intended or a bug. My monk runs slower in TR Tailwind.

First, I got the Immune Poison ring, nerf.
Then, my 1 hour Shrine gloves, nerf!

Josh is damn smart in this... free beta tester... fix bug before release... but i can tell u... not all bugs are reported... *ahem*

there is 1 skill and specific rune that make it possible for monk to farm torment 2 and above... this rune does the damage more than it's suppose to be... at least in my own testing... and it's not Epiphany. let's not discuss it any further... otherwise..

nerf lar nerf lar!

from what i heard, the drops rate in Beta is tweaked so we can test many legendary.

even so, mine gear is far from godly. take my Gloves that give me 1 hour (now nerf to 10 mins) shrine effect. Mine only has Dex, Crit Damage, LoH, CoolDown and XP.

a truly godly one will have Tri-fecta stat. kingkor has one of those... we all show our version of the gloves in public chat.

if u r referring to this EF:

http://d3up.com/i/18245116

change it. that EF is not a very good EF. Low attack speed, high Fear. change it.

your other weapon only has 2.7 LS and less than 400k EHP... make sense to change to dual LS if you like lazy farming.

for me, i prefer high damage and has been ok with 3% LS. cannot tank everything, need to re-position or kill them fast and replenish life with Bell.

LS will go away in RoS... not a bad idea to learn on re-positioning
