Cheers for the pointers, I'll give them a check over once home - a found a few websites which had some info but wasn't sure how much of it is out-dated or just rubbish.
 
Sweet, Royal Ring dropped for my Crusader finally.. not the best rolls but who cares. Need to implement a third set now or get the Akkhan pieces to start dropping! :D

Not seen any chatter lately about any updates or tweaks coming our way, any blue posts that I've missed on what is beyond 23119? Ignoring troll blue posts of course :p.

I should SS my Gryfs and post it here for HH and Cons to drool over ;P played aload of split act1 bounties on t1 last night, in all honesty its just as fast on t1 as normal now and you get the torment tier of legs added, Cons got a ton of legs last night including a decent neck, i picked up a neck also from Cache, havent had a chance to reroll it yet but its definitely got potential.

I got a decent Halcyons Ascent the other day, had +12% elite dmg and resist Elite on it and some other decent dps stats but no main stat, it can be rerolled to +20% holy which is nice, sometimes you gotta look past the sheet dps.

I picked up Akkhans gloves and a BoProphecy in the same day a few days back, totally changed the game for me, hence the farming of Act1 bounties now to get a RoRG to get the 4 set bonus, heard reports of people getting Set items from Caches too, not sure if its true but some guy reckons he got Marauders from it.

Anyhow if anyone is up for some Act1 T1 bounties tonight or until i get my RoRG then add me Xylonite#2178

I need to add you anyway, but more interested in doing rifts for split loot (Akkhans in particular for me - Shoulders/Helm/Legs).

I will add you tonight, got Cons/Smudge in my list already. May join you for some bounties anyway to get my rift shard stock up a bit :)

I really like BoP with 4 pc Akkhan's set, this will be beast with 6 pc bonus and I think I could easily do T5/T6 with that on. At the moment I can get a little wrath starved when Akarats is off CD for too long.

Con really wanted the 1h flail for the shield spam, but I reckon they will nerf it soon so I am considering to build a set for something other than shield spam is better.

Grats dude! :)

I found a "slightly" better Akkhan's chest this morning actually, it had a little more str, same vita, and rolled 12% condemn dmg instead of the 8xx life regen my old one had. Had to reroll the 2 sockets to 3 sockets though.

More of a side grade tbh but oh well :D
 
Damn nice Akkhans chest, with the condemn also, im proper jel haha. Still need Chest, Legs and Helm to complete the set, although hoping to get RoRG and then ideally legs and chest as Andy for helm is probably better.

Pre BoP with my 2 unity and immortal templar relic, i could do t6, it was hella slow though, definitely not worth the trouble, i reckon though with 4 piece bonus, t6 is doable, but for it to be proper farm status 6pc is required.

Deffo join for some bounties, i need the Ring so im kinda set on farming bounties til i get it, banking shards will be good also as theres a patch around the corner and who knows what will get fixed / broken / introduced etc with it.
 
Andy helm is nice but tbh, I thought about it, and for higher torments you probably want either Aughilds Helm OR Shoulders + Aughilds bracers. The flat Elite dmg increased and decrease for those 2 slots is BIS I reckon. I can't see a scenario where I can really use Andys helm with Aughilds and 6 pc Akkhans set :)

With 6 pc Akkhans and approx 40% CDR (in game) you will have about 7 secs downtime on Akarat's champion, that would be amazing! If you can get to 45% CDR that will give roughly 5 secs of Akarats downtime.

Reapers wraps I think are good up until then, I would quite like a nice set to see how I go compared with the Warchezian bracers, it might help my wrath issues a bit.
 
Ahh see this is where i think we will differ, i reckon keep the Andys and Reapers for the Wrath boost on globes.

Look at Hellcat waistguard for +elite dmg
Halcyons Ascent (i have one with +20 Holy and +12 Elite dmg / Elite dmg redux)

That way you have a bit more flexibility imho, also SoJ for +elite dmg is a given
 
It's good that there is a bit of variety, I really like the Warchezian bracers for the move speed increase over most others, running slow is boring to me :D

For belt I rate the Harrington atm, so many rift levels have chests/clickable items, when I find one of those I kick ass for 10 secs afterwards every time! I would even consider it better than the Witching Hour and would probably carry on using it. Witching Hour would win out on maps with few clickable chests/corpses though.

As good as the Halcyons looks, I could not drop the extra CHD/Crit % and str stats just for those effects, especially when you can get 100% CHD on amulet slot, it's the 2nd biggest boost after the gem in wep.

With so little downtime on Akarat's I don't think I would need the extra wrath from globes (or at least I hope I don't).

For rings it basically comes down to RRoG + either SoJ or Unity imo, SoJ is an amazing DPS boost and if you can survive without the Unity in T5/T6 then SoJ is better imo. Not been lucky enough to get a holy SoJ yet though, got a lightning one t'other day with str/vita, lose too much dps to reroll it to holy :(

I managed to get a SoJ but been trying to reroll the poison damage for physical. No luck so far as the gems are expensive 1=+ and counting :(

Btw i only switch to my SoJ against elite. Is that even worthwhile doing that or should you just wear it all the time. It lowers my dps considerably when i do.
 
If you are 1 shotting white trash (which you most likely will be) it doesnt matter that your sheet dps goes down with a SoJ equipped because you are overkilling anyway.

I just leave mine equipped all the time since it has 6 crit damage and 18% fire anyway so its a pretty decent one.

I got the invincible token for enchantress last night so now i need a 2nd unity to try out cheesing T6 :)

I may be up for running some bounties tonight by the way so ping me a message, danetta set DH are arguably the fastest bounty runners there are ;)
 
FYI - Sheet DPS / Sheet stats are only a rough guide and a reference, dont place too much stock in them, they dont calculate +elite +elemental dmg etc. The only figures i rely on the sheet for are Crit Chance and Crit Hit Dmg pretty much and also my defensive stats like Res all / Armour / block chance.

If you are judging your characters off the DPS values on your sheet, you are playing the game wrong.

Better to have all set pieces needed and roll with both Unity/SoJ imo.

Sort of, it depends what items you want, which set bonuses, what class etc. My fire Monk needs an RRoG for the set bonuses, but my lightning Monk doesn't as there isn't anything above a 2 piece bonus I need.
