Been trying out the Monk changes, they are very nice and I'm happy with them. Can do T6 without any problems at all now, whereas in 2.0.6 T5 was pretty much the limit and even that was dubious when it came to efficiency over T4. Had a quick go of a G29 and had no problems, finished it with about 4 minutes left.

Really do need a pair of Crudest Boots though, and need to get some of those fancy new gems as I'm just doing stuff in my old 2.0.6 gear since I've had no luck with drops today.

Difficulty really ramps up after GR 30 or so, each level above supposedly is about 20% harder than the one before it.

The other thing that bothers me personally is the randomness with respects to mob types you can get, packs of corrupted angels or those rock guys who take no damage can really ruin your ability to complete a run.

The best I did on the PTR was grift 35 with shotgun build, but shotgun simply seemed to let me stutter step better on the PTR than in live (rubber band a lot) so not sure I would hit the same level on live, maybe 32 or so without good stutter stepping.
 
Finished my first rift just now, level 16 so not high.

Two legendary gems, already got one upgraded a couple of levels and its insanely powerful.
 
Got 12 of the leg gems now.
1 piece away from full Firebirds set.

Enjoyed playing D3 all day and night! 2.1 is really awesome I think and has added a lot of neat stuff to the game for sure.
 
Can you only get a Greater rift key once a day? I have tree torment 1 characters and I've done about 15 rifts and only got one Greater Key all night :(

Also had 2 parts of Roland's Legacy drop for my Crusader tonight.

Do you mean the trial key? Only the trial key drops from normal rifts.

I've had 5 or 6 today. They drop from every rift guardian for me except one so far. This was on T2/3/4 though but they should drop on T1 at the same rate from the guardian.

Yeah, definitely. As always, it's corrupted angels that cause me the most grief. I could be in a rift 4 times longer with those than anything else. I'm really surprised Blizzard never altered them because everyone hates them.
 
Is upgrading the rift keys really worth it? I was told that if you do that you'll get a higher level rift. But won't you then potentially struggle to actually complete it and it be a waste of time? Did 2 grifts last night and upgraded a legendary gem I had drop both times.

It guess it depends how high you are currently doing. Gems upgrade chance depends on the GR rank you have done when you meet the upgrade lady (which gets progressively harder to upgrade the closer you go towards rank 25).
 
Yes, as far as I can tell the only reason to go onto higher lever greater rifts is if you hit the point where you can't upgrade your gems any further, or indeed wish to challenge yourself. Maybe higher level rift guardians drop more loot or a greater chance of legendaries. I don't think there's enough data out there about it just yet though.
 
Typical Diablo!

I must have spent about 20k shards at Kadala in 2.0.6 for Ice Climbers, if not more. Now I don't want them anymore in 2.1 as I want the Crudest Boots for the double Mystic Ally effect, what do I get from Kadala? Ice Climbers :p after about 500 shards.

On the plus side, at least they are a nice pair (I use LTK).

Yeah you should always upgrade the key IMO if you kill the rift guardian in time. This is because even if the next difficulty is too much once the timer expires the mobs all vanish and the rift guardian spawns again. Once you kill him you get your normal legendaries and then you'll get another upgrade level on a gem.

So by upgrading your key fragment you're getting another greater rift guardian, the associated legendaries which come with killing him and another upgrade chance on a gem.

what's a good monk 2.1 build now then? do the changes make playing the monk fun again? i parked my monk after ROS as it sucked badly, it was my main :( i've not played him since so no gear and my build is probably a TR build, any advice on what to shoot for now?

I told this to another guy in clan chat last night and it was like a wee lightbulb switched on. But push shift+L and look at the top ranked leaderboard monks doing 30+ GR runs and inspect them ;)
 
Managed to get into the Vault twice last night on T4 within 10 minutes of eachother, 120 million gold and 6 legendaries. Quite fond of that place I have to say.

How do you get into a vault, hunt down gobies while doing bounties? And if you find one, just try to kill it as usual and it might open a portal or you gotta follow it and wait till it opens a portal?
 
For info we maxed out a GRift last night and I had no gems on me - and the Gem Upgrader pulled the ones from my stash, so there was no need for them to be on my person or in my bag.
