Eh. Paladin/Crusader don't interest me much. Which some people have found odd, given that I like Sisters of Battle, heh.

Hm. I much preferred the "pure" magic over elemental stuff when I played her. I'll have to take a closer look at the new item sets.

Basically, I'm one of the people that played using disintegration beam as my primary just because it looked and sounded more awesome. Usually with Chaos nexus or Convergence, though Intensify is also awesome.
Also liked magic missile and spectral blade to a lesser extent.

I personally don't like any of those XD.
Arcane doesn't look interesting to me. I like stunning my enemy and microing the hell out of my hero.
Must be my Warcraft 3 instincts kicking in.

So finished downloading... why the hell is the expansion the same price as the regular game?
Jegus.
Won't be able to afford that any time soon, though hopefully I'll still enjoy some of the patch material.

Y'know the disintegrate build is actually super popular now, coupled with wormhole and meteor shower. I haven't the gear to actually make the build successful, just seen it used.
I actually run a frost build, Ray of Frost as a primary, the source I use allows the ray to pierce enemies so the damage isn't so mitigated.

I probably don't have equipment appropriate for it, only completed campaign once with my wizard before I got bored since nothing was dropping anyway.

For things to start dropping, you'd really need to play the Torment difficulties level.
Just last night, in less than two hours... I was doing repeated Rifts runs on Torment3... the following drops:
9 set items
7 unique gears
4 set/unique plans
... and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!
(with zero gear-MF too!)
I will say that to get the full effect you'd need to be 70+ (paragon) and RoS expansion.
I get the idea that I'll need to get teammates if I'm gonna go THAT far in to the game :/

Not really. Torment levels beyond Torment I do not particularly do much for your item drop rates beyond for Rare items(read: not Legendary nor Set Items).
It really has to do with the Greater Rifts/Rifts v. the other stuff.
Speaking of, rifts, can someone give a summary of what the benefits and drawbacks of doing a Season character are? I admit I kind of skipped through the "updates" window heh.

the season characters are very much like the old WoW pvp seasons. Its a ladder that is run for a set amount of time, there will be new legendaries unique to that season and once that season is over you will have to make a new season character for the next season.
all legendaries from the previous season will then be able to drop for normal players.

The difficulty <=> MF bonus is a linear progression.

Oh, then feth that. No need to participate in seasons when I still haven't put more than thirty hours in to the game (sooo busy with IRL stuff)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Well, started playing again... I can see that they definitely have increased the drop rates.

Generally speaking Rifts are a good source of experience and (due to high amounts of elites and rare monsters spawning) net you the best chance for better drops (legendaries, sets, recipes, gems). Additionally with the advent of Greater Rifts, you sacrifice the monster drop rate for a massively improved drop rate from the rift guardian. In greater rifts you run the risk of running out of time and losing the ability to upgrade the level of the gem you used to enter the rift. But, as you're just starting out, it's not really a big deal if you don't meet the time requirements, it's more for gear and the legendary gems that drop.
Seeing as how quite a few of us still play, my battle tag is Frankenberry#1544, if any of you want a wingman for some demonslaying.

Well until I get 40 bucks I'm not gonna be able to use them, heh.
Tuition and upper-level textbooks have drained my coffers yet again.

I feel the same way about my Wizard character versus all my other characters.

I mean, it's weird, I've played monks in various game systems and they usually all adhere to the 'sucks until x level, then god mode', I shouldn't be surprised at my monk running around beating demon face.
And I think my Wizard is going to be retired for a bit, I'm annoyed every time I try to use him.

Taht was the fate of my demon hunter. I mean I know theoretically they're really powerful, but I hate using that class for some reason :/

My season character also seems to have a better drop rate on yellow and orange equipment.
