Trying to farm for specific loot with my barbarian and monk.

Barbarian needs an ancient weapon and a furnace. Maybe
something nice for an amulet.

My U6 monk is sweet, but needs something good to cube. Also
needs an ancient weapon.

Quickest way for furnace was to get a load of rare 2 handed maces, and use the cube to upgrade to legendary, took me 7 but I got my second furnace. For barb gearing I found joining loot share groups helped a bit and grinding tons of rifts and greater rifts. Depending on spec the BK swords hype does live up to its ability. I've a few pairs and love using them, esp the ancient pair. I forget the name but the 2hander which is paired with IK set seems to be making waves now, think its gravel something.

crusader is fune to play, but I'm still hooked on completing my barbs cube book for the extracted powers.

Beat the final boss. Not sure if I want to try to beat the objectives for the other chapters though. Are they tedious?

I try not to count how many times I try to use hope of Cain to get what I need.

I didn't even know that that cube existed until now. Huh.

The Gavel of Judgment is not tied to the Immortal King set, but is
used with it for lots of good reasons. It refunds Hammer of the
Ancients fury, but to use Hammer of the Ancients you're standing
in the face of danger. Immortal King set gives you a lot of durability
through a few mechanics. The 4 set bonus gives you the ability to reduce
your two big cooldowns, Hammer of the Ancients and Call of the Ancients
by spending fury to attack monsters. Hammer of the Ancients gives you
the damage sharing rune, Together as One. Wrath of the Berserker has
the Striding Giant damage reduction rune.

To offset the loss of damage by using a defensive rune for Wrath of the
Berserker, people use the 6 set bonus of Immortal King to gain a
flat 250% damage buff.

It's what my barb is doing now. I'm in the grift 50s, but I'm pausing to
gear up my monk, level a second barb, and level my gems. I'm
hoping in that time to get some upgrades before I continue to try to
get into the 60s.

That's why I'm looking for an ancient Gavel of Judgment or a regular furnace.

So now steamrolling through master difficulty trying to get the season quests done.

Slowing grinding my way through. I have been having horrible luck finding gear this season. I have a Topaz in my helm with 35% magic find plus the crown that increases its effect by 100% and ran 3 rifts with nothing. Even blood sharps have been useless. Although I did get lucky and found an ok Grandfather and am now running torment 4.

Need to get to level 70 to complete the objectives...

That's going to be a bit of a grind. Maybe I'll start working on a seasonal wizard.

What are your battle.net tags and when do you all play? I work night shifts so I will probably be on at the same time as you in English folk. My tag is MariusRuberu#1167. You are all welcome to add if you'd like.

Uh, I'll have to login tonight to see lol

Melissia#1214, apparently.

Look up Chainer1988 on the YouTubes, he runs a support monk with a HotA barb and holds the #1 World 2-man Grift spot. HotA is straight DISGUSTING if ancient'd out with proper gear.

Yeah, familiar with chainer's stuff, I just have a hard time sitting
through video game videos. . Still haven't pulled an ancient
Gavel, but that's not surprising. Whenever I log in my monk, I
am either speeding through for keys or mats. I should spend
more time gathering mats I supposed. I do have a second gavel
that I can experiment on.

Also, goddamn is adventure mode really rewarding. I didn't realize how much so until tonight lol.

I think there's a disclaimer on the 'upgrade rare to legendary' recipe, might be the 'reforge legendary', but basically one of them says that it's impossible to get an ancient from it.

Then again, now that I'm thinking about it, that might be the 'give me a different set piece' recipe /shrugs.

That's skill of nilfur, get another set item.

I have gotten ancients from cubing rares.

Got my furnace over the weekend to cube.

Now... I'm hitting elites pretty hard.

It's the trash mobs I'm having issues now at high Torments.

I'm also trying to lvl up my Gem of Ease and go after the hellfire rings/amulets (no lvl requirements). Then, thinking of rolling a Crusader.

I'm pondering what the best solo build crusader is right now, as I'm finding it easy to survive but hard to put out enough DPS...

Generally it depends on how you want to play. When I was running solo/t3 I ran the Captain America (the shield toss skill, can't remember it's name) with the accompanying shield and flail that buffs the skill.

Of course a build that requires almost no cohesion is the Fist of Heavens build, generally does good damage.

If you have enough of the Rolands set and a decent weapon and the required shield, it generally ends up being the most damaging build that the class can make, shield bash, that is.

My current build is Justice with Crack and Blessed Hammer with Limitless for the mouse. Then Falling Sword with Flurry, Provoke with Cleanse, Law of Justice with Bravery and Akarat's Champion with Prophet. For gear I am using the new Seeker of the Light set, Hallowed Barricade, Ashbringer sword, Belt of trove, Gabriel's Vambraces and what ever jewelry you can find. Focus and Restraint will be the best. For the amulet I'm using Hellfire Amulet that gives me the Finery passive. Plus anything that gives you holy damage, currently I have 40% holy on this character and the sword when it's ability is up adds another 5559% damage as holy.

In the new cube thingy, for the weapon slot I use Johanna's Argument. That extra 100% attack speed with hammers is nice when using a two handed sword. For the armor I use the Sacred Harness belt for extra hammers. The jewelry slot I am using the royal ring.

So far I can run Torment VIII by my self.

Nice upgrades

Sadly, so far I only have two level 60 sets, demon's and sage's. Just trying to find time to get her to seventy.

I hear ya. I got Malfred added to my friends list but I failed in getting the rest of you. I will have to do that when I'm off and if I see you I can help rush you and try to get some gear.

Sadly I can't rush anyone lately. I have to have the ability to pause
my game for family stuff.

As do I.

Hhehe, if you're being rushed it's no problem for you to dip out for real life.

It is a problem if the person carrying you leaves mid rift/grift

If I was playing witch doctor I could stil lhelp while afk though XD

I've been meaning to ask actually, does anyone need a rush? My WD isn't amazing but can powerlevel someone if they need it.
