    Gotta say man, you are one of my favorite new finds on RUclips. Been following you for a couple weeks now and the builds you discuss took me from fighting tooth and nail with a gr32 to being able to do a gf37 with a decent fight but feel I can push it to 40 with the right rift. Of course I switched back to playing my Monk again but still, its perfect for me. Super fast builds and on screen mayhem. Keep up the good work.

    great video, but when you talk about greater rift scaling (6:15 min) your data isnt up to date anymore! since patch 2.1.2, from greater rift level 26 and onward, the monster deal only 10 % more dmg per level instead of the old 12.5%! it was even mentioned in the patch notes: "Monster damage in Greater Rifts level 26 and higher has been reduced". some people on reddit (or d3 forum) did the math and published the exact numbers!

      The are likely to say, true, but not going to spend the effort to fix. One can hope they would fix it as it does have an impact for new toons in a new season.

  • @ravenoftheredsky
    @ravenoftheredsky 9 лет назад +12

    I do appreciate the correlation you've gathered here, but mob health is only one consequence to the many rewards of playing torment. Not to mention you're rolling over your gems and learning the strategy of your character build. Personally, I prefer torment because enemies have more modifiers to keep you on your toes and keep the game feeling fresh.

  • @B3tterTh4nU
    @B3tterTh4nU 9 лет назад +2

    When they first released the new difficulty system, I immediately realized the difference in the Expert mode. I believe the reason (unless it is just a typo) for it not fitting the trend is that when you're initially leveling, Expert would be the most efficient difficulty for the majority of the leveling process if it followed the trend. I believe that they intentionally tried to displace people from a single leveling difficulty by making them choose between an easy, slightly-too-fast-to-be-efficient, experience with Hard mode and a slightly-too-slow-to-be-efficient Master mode.

  • @_Strats_
    @_Strats_ 9 лет назад +5

    Can you do one of these for legendary drop chance relative to difficulty, and in general how magic find affects legendary drop chance? And in your opinion the most effective way to farm legendaries, most people say doing t6 rifts and only killing elite packs and continuing to the end of the rift after the boss is the fastest way =)

  • @travisbaker7178
    @travisbaker7178 9 лет назад

    Ik this is kinda irrelevant to the video, Quin, but do you think The Fist of Az'Turrasq has any spot in current monk (season/nonseason) just for an EP build, like t6 farming, or do you think furnace/torch, is just all around better (used with the optimal build ofc.)

  • @Emka877

    Thanks!

  • @noahandjojogaming4ever244
    @noahandjojogaming4ever244 7 лет назад

    i dunno if he mentioned this but if your able to live and kill in higher difficulty the xp boost is much much more efficient because the higher difficulty the more enemies so more xp

  • @ImLeviathan
    @ImLeviathan 7 лет назад

    Great video guys.. I don't think blizzard made a mistake, look at it from a monetary kinda view, they are just aiming for the casual players as they don't farm and play for the fun of it.. difficulty in this game (at least for me) works as a method of making the game more interesting but most casuals will never step up past expert. Remember money is always a very important aspect.
    Also another aspect they took into consideration is how the economy in the game won't get over inflated with all the casuals getting more gold (as difficulty also affects the amount of gold you get) .. just my two cents!

  • @sashimster3243
    @sashimster3243 7 лет назад +10

    I cannot get over the fact that to me the entire later ~half of the video sounds like they are talking abouth meth. "He's out of my league when it comes to Meth". I had this running in the back ground while reading emails and when they started saying math (meth) I was like "uwatmate??"

    If you haven't beaten Act IV, the highest difficulty you can access is Expert. So the XP/HP ratio for Expert might have been intended.

  • @buzzboy199
    @buzzboy199 9 лет назад +1

    But when you are at the point where you can kill monsters in T4 just as quickly as you can kill them in Normal mode (instantly killing everything), then it is just completely beneficial. You can't just do T6 and expect 10000% more experience and to hit Paragon 500 after killing 4 skeletons. That being said, expert mode is definitely a bit off with the exp ratio

    So... basically don't go up a mode unless you spend most of your time running from one pack of mobs to the next, and stuff just melts in 3 seconds. With one exception: to complete a seasonal journey objective.

    Would you comment on why, "i find many more interesting legendaries in expert mode, like the whitching hour and strong arm bracers" is that just my opinion? perhaps with the lack of xp increase, they incresed they leg % compared to hard and normal.

  • @C4N4D4M4N
    @C4N4D4M4N 9 лет назад

    If 2 enemies are tagged with EP Essence Burn and die at the same time, does another enemy hit by both the explosions take twice the damage since it was hit by 2 EPs? Or does the second explosion just refresh the duration of the first explosion buff?

    I flew though Hard mode on D3 in 1 day and currently flying through RoS. I really don't care too much about levels/hp/Atk bonus I only care for drops. Do you have a current model on drops for Legendaries/Sets vs difficulty levels? Why play normal if to only get crappy drops?

  • @Jizzlewobbwtfcus
    @Jizzlewobbwtfcus 6 лет назад

    I actually used to lvl in Master all the time (sometimes even Torment if I got lucky with loot i.e. Furnace) with no real problem but it seems last 2 seasons (currently in Season 15) Blizzard have nerfed the XP or buffed the mobs, i really cant tell. Adn even Expert feels wrong so I just stick to Hard now.

  • @ukbigman91
    @ukbigman91 6 лет назад

    Still the same XP bonus for Expert all these years later lol. Good video, though, and I really enjoyed the mathematical rational for why it should be 125% XP bonus vs 100%.

  • @nono4805
    @nono4805 9 лет назад

    So long as the most important thing to you is XP, I would agree with not moving up, till it is easy mode. If on the other hand, you are at least as interest in increased legendary items, then moving is worthwhile. Going to T2 from T1 gains increased odds of a legendary. Going from Master to T1 can yield legendary items, not availble at Master.

    How does going up in torment mean relative to the legendary that will be dropped?
    Like are the legendary's better? or does it have no effect overall?? except the drop rate of legendary's?

    • @UltraSuperDuperFreak
      @UltraSuperDuperFreak 9 лет назад

      As far i know the legendary are the same. Drop rate goes up tho for sure. Also you must be lvl 70 for some set items to drop.
      Here is more info if you need:
      www.diablowiki.net/Legendary

    • @ImMannny
      @ImMannny 9 лет назад

      UltraSuperDuperFreak but does the quality of the legendary's go up with torment levels? or is it just RNG based?

    • @Zomious
      @Zomious 9 лет назад +1

      ImMannny Its RNG.
      You'll still get trashy legys with horrible rolls but since you're getting more of them, the chances of getting a good one are higher at T6 than T1.
      Also you'll get more ancient legendarys at higher torment levels. These can still roll shitty stats though.
      TL;DR - just farm in the most efficient difficulty.

    • @UltraSuperDuperFreak
      @UltraSuperDuperFreak 9 лет назад

      ImMannny Well by saying they are the same i clearly meant stat wise aswell. But yea its RNG ..you can find a SUPER item on T1 and then go to T6 and find identical item with CRAP stats, only the drop rate changes. You know the link i gave also ansered your follow up question :P

  • @nanananannanananana
    @nanananannanananana 9 лет назад

    Really love your advanced guides so far. I'm still puzzled about doing full clears or just to the guardian for rifts. Especially how that changes on a new character while going from T1 to T6. So far I switched to full clears (hunting blue/yellows and mostly skipping trash) as soon as I can destroy the given content. It feels worth it, even on the shards since you get the shard goblins from time to time. Is there even an actual answer to it?

  • @GrimLearns
    @GrimLearns 9 лет назад +1

    TL:DR - On hard for killing 2 mobs worth of hp you get 1,75 mob worth of exp and it gets worse and worse

  • @MrScreamingSilence
    @MrScreamingSilence 8 лет назад

    Good thing I never bothered with expert mode. The first character gets to level on normal, hard, and then master or t1 and once I have my gem of ease at rank 25 and a hellfire ring all the other new characters get to start on t1 with a random lvl 70 weapon.

  • @ratosc2
    @ratosc2 6 лет назад

    I dont 100% believe blizzard messed up with the Expert difficulty, I believe they made that outlier because for any new players who just bought and installed the game the only 3 difficulties they have are Normal, Hard and Expert. Most people go to either Normal or Hard however some people like the challenge of going to Expert without out-leveling the campaign content (which 125% would do). This is really my only reason to believe why blizzard would make Expert only 100%.

  • @jharris2975
    @jharris2975 5 лет назад

    At around 10 mins, instead of 70%, it should actually be just about 73.4% which means the 63 was then just a small mistake, off by one number.

    doesnt master mevels, or torment, oddly diablo is different on every console it seems. kinda dumb for trying to look this crap up for PlayStation 3. but don't you get higher magic item find per master as it claims in the description when you choose a harder level in the game or is that mathematically messed up to?
