I seem to proc more consistently with fire bombs than bats now, especially with the rune that makes it jump targets losing 15% damage each time. I've got 32% attack speed on my sheet, with tasker and theo giving another 50% to my pets.

i changed my build round last night, was using firebombs and vampire bats and found it really poor for generating the little guys. I played round with some builds and switched out firebombs for rain of toads and got rid of haunt (i think) for acid rain and zombie dogs. I could do T2 pre-patch, it just took a while, for some reason now stuff was melting - proper melting - it was like going back to normal.

rain of toads produces so many little guys it's ridicuous, piranha the mobs together, spam toads, run around and collect more mobs and repeat. i had so many out that at times my garg was stood around unable to hit anything as it couldn't get past all the little guys. i have no special gear, other than a MoJ, RoRG (with the cain's set i think), 650k sheet dps and 5m toughness. it was awesome tbh. T3 should be OK, maybe even T4 but dps is probably a bit low.
 
Finally got a Cindercoat last night so I've changed my monk to a fire build. Struggling with how quick Sweeping Wind drops off without it being the extended duration Physical rune!

Is Malthael inside the portal of 'Heart of the fortress' ?

Don't want to trigger him yet as I'm only level 56.

You'll know when you get to him. The background looks like a massive ball. He's inside it and it's the boss fight. Triggering it wont matter though as you could just leave game or die and reset.

Unless you're playing HC :p

Ah yeah that's the one then.

I'm VERY surprised as to how short the expansion has been tbh!

So now I'm level 56 and I've got to get to 70. What's the quickest way to do this? Do I just go to any area and grind/kill everything?

Cheers
 
Yeah, I personally would not worry about that one legendary item. There is plenty of time to see a whole bunch of useless ones. :)

I'm not sure the guaranteed legendary is really worth waiting. If it was me I would kill him and start bounties and rifts.

Ah right. I just saw a lot of people saying wait until 70 but if it isn't really worth it than fair enough. :)

Rifts and bounties look interesting. Should I do them solo until level 70?

People say wait until 70 because most people have done the expansion starting at level 60, so have a much smaller grind :).

I'd only recommend waiting to kill Malth for the first time if you're 68+. If you already have bounties unlocked you may as well wait and kill him at 70 though since there's no benefit to killing him earlier at that point.

That really good to know mate, i am on T4 and need to find a new way of generating the little critters. Might give rain of toads a bash :) I got around a 1 mill dps now but struggling to make it really affective. Might be a totally rebuild of skils for me :D

Si, wanna do some high torment bounties? I could do with upping my rift shard stacks. Seems like a good way to take advantage of the 100 pc extra rift shard buffs. Don't need to split farm if we do high enough torment (t3+)

yeah give it a go i was really surprised! i've heard they die pretty quickly on higher torments so the more you can generate the better I guess :D

What difficulty level are you on?

I beat Malthael when my Wizard hit level 60 on expert, although it took a few tries because I got caught standing still too often!

Hard difficulty. It wouldn't let me go any higher than that.

I ended up killing him anyway as I wanted to do the bounties and rifts.

I've got lots of bounties on the maps but I'm still not quite sure what rifts are and how you unlock them. From what I know so far you collect shards from the bounties which you then use to open rifts?

Cheers

Fine with me, generally happy with torment 3-4. We often run rifts with 3 of us on though for the rift it forward thing so last spot sits empty.

I wish they would remove the need to have rift keys to open up rifts, and buff XP on bounties instead so that you go rifts if you want loot/shards, and bounties for XP/caches.

Bounties award key fragments (after you've done the first one) and then 5 key fragments opens a rift.

Completing all the bounties within a rift gives you a cache from which you get more key fragments (double at the mo!) and a chance at a legendary as well as other bits and bobs.
 
Won't be long before bloodshards are nerfed again, loads of people getting low levels to make t6 rifts for them so they can fly through and get 100+ shards every time.
