Just a reminder that that is only class changes. There will be other changes made that could not be retrieved from data mining because of the way it is stored.

They need to buff the legendary drop rate then too

I am close to cutting the cord on this game. Farm high end torment rifts and pulling maybe 1 terrible legendary every 2 hours. Not enjoyable

Especially since a lot of people myself included don't want to play just one character. I'd enjoy being able to gear out several classes, but with the current drop rates no way would I dedicate that kind of time.

I've been farming normal until I find gear high enough to move into higher difficulties.

Well my loot problems are making that difficult.

I'm not running above where my character is geared. The runs are quick and painless. Only a few minutes more than the lower tiered runs. Still spend the most time popping chests etc.

Original D3 game : "I NEVER GET LEGENDARIES..AND WHEN I DO, THEY ARENT EVEN STATS FOR MY CHARACTER. THIS GAME SUCKS BLIZZ, SLAP TO THE FACE"

New Game addresses drop rates and stats :

GG Blizz GG.

The current drop rate is fine if legendaries had fixed stats like in diablo 2. The randomness of affixes dictates that the drop rate be higher. We should be finding 2-3 per hour of rift farming minimum IMO.

I got my DH to 70 Sunday night and I'm already over 600k DMG and 4 mil toughness

What the frick? Either you play way more than I do or I'm an unlucky bastard. I'm around 250K dmg / 5 mill toughness...trying to get damage up without losing too much toughness.

Did exceptional items in D2 have fixed stats? I remember getting shitty rolls on ED% Titans.

The damage and toughness numbers on the character sheet can be very misleading, unfortunately. Toughness in particular. The game highly values vit/life % yet those values are completely meaningless if you don't have the All Res and Armor to back them up. My barb has like 180k health and I breeze through T1 effortlessly.

The main things you want with survivability:

1. A roughly 10:1 Armor:All res ratio (and as much as you can get of both).

2. A "comfortable" amount of health. Basically, you just want to avoid getting 1-shot on your chosen difficulty.

3. Enough healing. There's no hard numbers for this because it depends on a lot. Basically, the amount of healing you have becomes more effective with increasing All Res/Armor because you physically take less damage
