Sometimes you feel that the people at Blizzard think too much about things. Not having a community buff is like banning Christmas at a school in case it offends the one child of an atheist family who goes there.
You also get the impression that WoW-like balance runs strongly in all their veins. It's an ARPG for God's sake, not WoW. It's ok to occasionally make stupidly powerful or do exciting things!
Yes, I know that, but it's good to be able to do it yourself when there is no one about. Plus as you say it sure is fun too

Trying out a thorns based crusader using the 'no set set' going well so far its interesting not having any 'attack' skills unless you count charge as attack, still need to find some 2 socket pants that are also ancient, I notice all on the leaderboards they all use low dps weapons and I don't know why..

Oli, what I know about 'sader you could fit on postage stamp but I have heard that attack speed is king with them and pig sticker is the 'go to' as it has five primaries.
Check out Meathead Mikhaels youtube channel, he has a few vids on the crusader, most recent being a 45 clear with no set items.

Argghhh, have to vent because this is frustrating!
I have been trying to get better Ancient UE legs for my DH for a while now, had numerous drops but even when Ancient haven't rolled Dex/Vita/All res even once.
So I take my materials, over 1k Deaths Breaths, thousands of the others, and I do upgrade rare a bunch of times on rare legs.
Finally, I get on my 20-25th try a pair of decent UE legs, with over 600 dex/vita and all res on.
I salvage the rest of the junk I made, equip my new legs and salvage the old ones.
Game disconnects, network connection error of some kind (I am still in game, internet is fine), must be some problem with the Blizz server. I reconnect, game mentions something about a license issue, I try again and then get in.
Game has rolled me back, to just before the point when I got the UE legs from upgrade rare! I lost the thing I worked the hardest to get, many drops, many shards spent at Kadala, many resources in the cube.
I try the rest of my materials, I get a few UE legs but none ancient. I try to reforge legendary 5-6 times on a spare pair, also no ancient.
So now I am out of materials and I'm no better off, all because of a damn roll back!

Can't remember if it was Brok or Hippo who showed me this a few seasons back. Made a Scourge, 3.5k dam and 10k Heath a hit useable at level 1 with a gem of ease. Awesome for powerlevelling yourself to 70. Finally made one.
i think you can also put the level 25 gem of ease and weapon into kanais cube to bring it down to level 1 and you get to keep the socket open, throw a nice topaz in there and anything that hits you dies with 38000 thorns damage, and put boyarsky's chip in a hellfire ring too for even more

HH, that sucks mate
There were some disconnects yesterday evening too - a streamer I was watching dropped connection.
Fortunately Kadala was good to me and gave me a comparatively good pair of Ancient UE legs today!
Just another update on this seasons progress - just obtained the seasonal stash tab reward, was only missing one objective, a second conquest, I already had the GR45 with no sets, got it on my first try if I remember correctly (high level gems helped) so decided to try the 50mil, maxed GF in paragon tab and changed gear that wouldnt affect my damage too much, put gem in helmet with leorics crown in the cube, ran with goldwrap belt and had a goldskin in my stash to swap out if I came across a gilden baron, started doing TX rifts today and ran into one about 30min ago, 4 in the party, I swapped over the goldskin and picked up 57mil gold, Ihad 8888% GF, quite relieved because this could have taken ages, I can just play the rest of the season how I please, was tempted to aim for the final seasonal journey chapter (Like I did last season) but I just couldnt be bothered tbh So there it is, jumped through blizzards hoops - got it outa the way and can play at my own pace/play-style the rest of the season
I must have failed 20 times on the set dungeon today. It pretty hard withthe earth set. Any pointers? Was think not to use blade of tribes nor the belt. Also dismissed the follower.
Biggest problem is killing things too quick which often leaves me out of sequence for the next elite.

I have the same issue with my invoker set trying to do the set dungeon.
I got to let spears hit me etc but they just do too much damage and end up dying
Spot on mate . Can run it comfortably since I tweaked the gear. Got it first time. Cheers
Thank you So much. it was spamming like crazy before you can read anything.
Tanking not the problem. I was Killing too quickly as I have to space out the kills every 10 secs as well as killing elites with certain skills in order. Think I figured it out as Porkie mention downgrading the setup so doing that correctly is key. Swapping out Cave in to mountains calling for quake is a must.

Weapon dps is irrelevant on a thorns sader, along with crit chance and dmg. Attack speed, CD reduction are just about the only standard stats that you'll need. It's also worth noting that thorns is classed as a physical damage type so maxing that on bracers and amulet is essential.
Sader gameplay seems to be twiddle ya thumbs till physical comes up on CoE then nuke everything on the screen.
