As an aside, I'm pretty sure the cache you get from finishing 5 bounties is the same thing as a treasure goblin with a smaller tacked on loot table of shards and rift keys. In other words, it sucks also.

I haven't killed a single treasure goblin since the patch (when I started playing higher difficulties). It is overwhelmingly likely that I am terrible at this game, but they are also hard to kill.

My wizard can kill them easily enough but only if Improved Archon is available. All the rest of my characters can't do it. Even my barbarian with all of his stuns.

Yup. Improved Archon fucks them right in their goblin butthole. DH's using Vengeance can kill them also.

I woke up today and almost called in sick to play D3. I haven't felt that way towards a game in a long time.
Major kudos to the team that redesigned this game. I played for almost six straight hours yesterday.

Yep Blizzard can actually put out good products when they stop fucking them up with terrible monetary decisions and bad management.

If Diablo 3 had launched in the state it was in right now, it would've been called one of the best ARPGs ever made, if not the best.

Even so, you can tell they are holding back stuff for the next expansion. Maltheal screams Necro expansion.

So Nephalim Rifts are awesome. Just flat out fucking awesome and they make leveling not so shitty as it was during story mode.

Fuck sake, all these new things make the game breakingly easy.
Use Mystic to socket low level weapon. Put fuck off big gem in weapon. Kill EVERYTHING on Torment while levelling. With a socketed hat. With an Exp gem in it.

You could do that previous to the expansion. That's how I was leveling up my twinks (i.e. with +130 damage gem) before the release.

Yes, you could but ; A - Your gem wasn't likely to be as fuck off. B - It mattered that a socketed item actually dropped. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

I got two legendaries out of them so far: a ring that reduces the number of set items needed for set bonuses by 1, and the Skeleton King's mace. That shit will be a lot of fun when the baby crusader hits 70 Edit: On the other hand, total number of useful items gained by gambling shards = 0 out of maybe 25. We're not talking not-legendary, I'm saying not of any use even as yellows.

Yeah I am hearing a lot of complaints about that and I'm seeing it some myself. It feels like they've always dropped more than they should but now it's gotten pretty crazy.

I haven't specifically noted barb belts, but I swear after one of the runs, it seemed like half of my inventory had red Xs on them.

Lots of barb belts and quite a few DH-only crossbows. Occasional WD stuff, but not much. And I did get one crusader legendary at about level 57 last week.

Taking a level 70 legendary and lowering the level requirement to 45 with the mystic is by far the best way to level anyways.

Just as an FYI, the scaling drop rates for Death's Breath are the same as Demonic Essence (i.e. they scale the same way as you progress in difficulty). Currently, those drop rates are:
Normal - 15% Hard - 18% Expert - 21% Master - 25% Torment 1 - 31% Torment 2 - 37% Torment 3 - 44% Torment 4 - 53% Torment 5 - 64% Torment 6 - 77% If you were wondering.

Adria boss fight. Fuck Sake. She has more health than Baby Jesus and took about 30 mins to kill on Master. She was never particularly a 'threat', but Christ, is this how all the bosses are ?
I do not like.

Yeah it was the boss fights that made me drop the difficulty level at times. Also I changed my build for boss fights, then back again afterwards.
Had a frustrating experience with my first Nephalem Rift last night. Cleared the first level of it and the progress bar was only at 99%. So I stuck my head into the second level to finish it off to be greeted with 2 blue elite packs and a yellow one, all right at the entrance. Between them they had waller, jailer, thunderstorm, molten, plagued, reflect and more. Total clusterfuck. Of course I manage to kill a couple of mobs which ticks the Rift bar to 100% and the Rift Guardian spawns right on top of said clusterfuck.
I ended up having to duck in & out of the level exit repeatedly and chip away slowly and painfully for about 30 mins before I finally downed the Rift Guardian. Total pain in the arse and multiple deaths. Thank fuck for the shoulders I have that make all items indestructable.

Adria was a weird boss... Had fun against both the first and last boss but she was just run around the room and avoid weird flesh bags... Really boring compared to the other two.
I know it's like lol blizz lore plz but the whole search for mathiel part made no sense... You ask tyriel at the end of d3 where he is and he says oh yeah pandemonium fortress obvs, then reaper starts and he's all OH SHEEEET WHERES MATHIAL HE GONE HALP GUNNA STARE AT THIS STONE BRB then killing adria shows pandemonium and he says oh yeah he's at the fortress... like, wat?

When does Tyriel say that ? Did they tack some shit on at the end of the Diablo fight ? This would explain why the expansion starts kinda abruptly with no explanation !

I can't remember where but I think it's when the nephalem is asking about the angiris council members? The dialogue has been there since release, obviously with the trailer he left the fortress for awhile but really wouldn't it be the first place you'd check since he'd been there since the worldstones destruction . I'm also really disappointed that Adria didn't get a whole expansion to herself. She's been such a major character in the games series, I thought she'd the the main player pulling Mathiels strings, not just a throwaway stopgap because need middle boss lol. With the ending of this expansion though they look like they're setting up something like Aidan had to deal with at the end of diablo 1, nephalem becoming the new vessel for the soulstones anyone? An expansion where you're running around Sanctuary jamming the prime evils soulstones into your forehead would be baller, but then again I think I'm one of three people who gives any sort of shits about the story.

If you talk to Tyreal after killing Diablo, you can ask about Mathael and Tyrael says he thinks he's in Pandemonium.

They should have had a line about pandemonium being a possibility and it would have been fine because:
1. Even if malth MIGHT be there, descending into the world between heaven and hell, assaulting the fortress and popping in to check would be a huge waste of time and the clock was ticking.
2. Bitch had it coming.
