Had forgot about the Hellfire rings. Think I have a few keys along with few of the final items, so guess I just need to go buy the plan and make one or more :)

Anyone potentially up for some hellfire farming later? :D

I will I've already got a spare machine, got loads of act 1 and act 3 keys as well just need to farm act 2 ones.
 
The rings actually got a huge buff with the new patch too, if you make one now, they're significantly better.

Only down side is that the drop rates are quite low for the organs unless you do Torment 4 or higher. You may get lucky though and if you have enough infernal machines, even Torment 1 may do.
 
I did 2 T1 ubers the other day and no drop so I'd want to try doing higher to increase the chance. I've already got 1 Devils Fang I think it is.
 
They're definitely worth making as the current organs won't be useful for the new level 70 version. I plan on making a couple for my wizard this weekend, see if I can push into Torment 6, currently it's just a little too tough.
 
Me and my friend started new characters and started on the level down from Torment as a monk/Wizard, by the end of chapter 2 we were level 52, and that took about 6 hours play time.
 
T6 generally requires someone who can freeze or slow elites/champs, or a group of 4 really high DPS players who can melt them pretty quickly, not just that you need decent HP and toughness to avoid some of the very strong affixes they have that can 1 shot you. Pushed my Wiz over 100k hp, 1mil+ toughness and 300k+ dps buffed. Even with that some mobs still kill you easily if you get trapped or aren't concentrating. T6 extra health elites/champs are a pain, they have such high HP it can take what seems an eternity to kill them.
 
I'm at 1mil toughness, 100k hp, 900+ resist all and according to the sheet 340k dps buffed but that doesn't account for my +40% damage to disintegrate or the thunderfury proc which is worth 1-2mil damage every 2 or 3 hits. Not bad when you consider I made that character on Saturday and didn't buy any gear!

I just don't find it efficient solo and finding a decent group is rough for T6 because they're always full of people with dreadful gear looking to mooch.
 
Sounds like you've had some nice drops then Iceman!
I'll check what bits I already have but I think it is probably the Act2 hellfire components I have a shortage of.

Should be much easier to do now. Reading up on the old version you needed 5 stacks of Valor, so I guess these days you have a chance at any time for items to drop.

That sounds way too good to be true. :p

You must have found some gear on other chars to give you a starting point, there's no way you achieved that solo since saturday. I mean, I've been farming 4 hours a day and found like 2 upgrades and I'm no where near your stats.

That's a little harsh though, people with amazing gear have had luck where as those with poor guy have not. I think if 2 or 3 high geared people can carry 1 or 2 unlucky players through T4+ then they ought to. :p

I've had 16 legendary drops since I started playing again, all of them were utter rubbish! I don't think I've seen a single clan member pop up with the looted: [durka] thing yet that hasn't had an amazing find. Even with loot 2.0 gearing is a pain, I've been semi carried on T4/5 today by a helpful group of 200+ paragons and had absolute rubbish drop. :(
 
Started leveling her on Saturday morning, ran with a group of friends through the entire game 2 or 3 times over the weekend and again on Monday. Made sure I had a full group of 4 for the extra MF and probably averaged 2 legendaries an hour, maybe more. I did have two legendaries from previous characters, a set of vile ward shoulders and a zuni's ring but everything else was found. When you have 4 characters in a game who are friends, trading legendaries becomes simple too, they're not all greedy.

The new gear has such ridiculous stats on it, it's almost impossible not to have more than 70k hp and 700+ resists.

Edit - I will say I've been unusually lucky with gear drops on my wizard, can't say the same for the WD or monk. I seem to have found almost perfect stat rolls on every legendary I have equipped. I've spent quite a lot of gold on crafting too, don't forget they're pretty spectacular pieces now.

It's not harsh, I have no issues helping people but you have no business being in T6 with even good gear, it's hard as hell and having people with below par gear just makes it even more painful. Any other torment level below 5 I'm happy with people just being at their keyboards :)

I play on the US servers but it should be a few pages back somewhere.

I am using a ridiculous build currently too that gives me huge buffs to my damage but almost no control. With frost nova instead of energy armor I'm down to about 280-290k dps buffed but again that doesn't include the TF proc which is massive nor the additional damage to my lightning or disintegrate spells.

GMG retail IMO, one thing Blizzard have always done right is physical boxing. You'll have to wait till the postman arrives on release date rather than 12.01AM though.

I'm using the familiar + arcane weapon for 30% extra damage, energy armor for 40 mana and spamming blizzard/frozen orb. I'm looking to find 4 pieces of the new 2.0 Tal Rasha set, Azureblade for the +20% cold and generally trying to get as much int, crit %, crit dmg % as possible with 3 chest sockets, an amulet, 2 rings and 2 leg sockets full of high grade diamonds. Paragon wise it's all vitality, life %, crit dmg and resource cost.

Based on that, got any tips for a simple acolyte oh mighty archmage? :D
