About LOD & Captain Crimson's Trimmings

General Discussion
1

I feel that LOD should not have a cap or a higher (maybe 110), primarily because seems to fit Blizz philosophy for progression.

And that Captain Crimson’s Trimmings properties should be move to LON. As the new LON it feels less constructive. These properties have so much potential and promise. This way they be used with sets to create more diversity.

LITANY OF THE UNDAUNTED:

  • Regenerates 6000 Life per Second
  • Reduces cooldown of all skills by 20%.
  • Now also reduces Resource Costs by 20%

THE WAILING HOST:

  • Damage dealt is increased by your total percentage of Cooldown Reduction
  • Damage taken is reduced by your total percentage of Resource Cost Reduction

but… why?

It has a cap. It’s lvl99, which replicates the LoN effect but still grants you benefits for each non-ancient legendary item you equip.

LON and LOD are redundant. LOD is the better of the two.

I honestly don’t see anyone using Captain Crimson’s Trimmings, but transitioning it to LON will make it much more welcoming.

I meant that it shouldn’t have a cap or at least have a higher cap.

Not for all builds. Some builds don’t need the extra ring slots but need all three gems. While others need the ring slots and don’t necessarily need three gems.

Having options is a good thing.

Yeah, let’s make Wizards and Necros capable speed running 150. That’ll be great for the game. lol

Edit: And as for Captain Crimson’s, I intend to use on my UE DH. With the cost of a RoRG in the cube, you can replace Witching Hour and open up the Armor Slot in the cube to other items like Magefist or Cindercoat because you get more than 50% resource reduction so you don’t necessarily need Visage of Gunes. And for Hardcore you can keep Gunes for even more defense.

Some of this is theory but so far my layman’s testing bears it out.

Alright, I’ll just trash this post, that is if I the permissions to do so.

No one’s telling you not to post.

I apologize if I was a bit harsh with my criticism. You did come up with an idea and even though I didn’t agree with it, I don’t fault you for trying.

That’s a good thing too. Keep the ideas coming and maybe we’ll all find something we like.

I apologize again.

I’ve been testing it with Tal Explosive Blast build in PTR and makes the build T16 viable and quite strong. Love the damage mitigation buff, because I don’t get one shot anymore. Also the damage buff makes it so that I don’t have to use F&R anymore meaning it opens up the build for framing gold and etc.

Guys, this is DieHarder, who is known for his absolute ignorance on the mechanics on the game. A few seasons ago, he made a post about his “Gold-XP WW build”, which tried to use the gold-XP bracers for extra XP… and thought he was getting sh-ittons of XP from it.

No need to apologize. I was too presumptuous. :slight_smile:

Your not providing context, but that to be expected from a shady fellow such as yourself.

There is no context to this. You honestly thought you were getting MULTIPLE paragon levels from the gold, when, in actuality, to get even a single paragon level solely from the XP provided by gold, especially where you were up above 1k paragon, you’ll need tens of TRILLIONS of gold. For 1 single level.

You’ve also demonstrated your lack of understanding of game mechanics in a much larger array of threads back in the old forums.

Unfortunately, we can no longer downvote your posts to show to other players how completely ignorant you are of mechanics or balance, nor can we ignore you so we can simply gloss over what you consider to be noteworthy.

On this topic, the sole purpose of the Legacy of Nightmare gem is so that people have an alternative to the LoN set piece, since the loss of 2 rings is a pretty substantial power loss overall to ANY class, whereas the loss of a single gem isn’t quite so much. Any buffs to the gem would be the same as buffing Legacy of Nightmares, and considering two of the top builds atm ARE LoN builds, would just result in those top builds being even farther up the food chain.

I agree, I would also like this.

I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not. I feel like it’s worth testing though.

I guess I’ll provide the context. It was the Season of Double Bounties. I created a setup that would maximize my gold and xp as I presumed my double mats (I’m a casual player, so I play about a hour a day). By the end of the Season, I came away with 12k+ Bounties Mats, 39 Paragon levels, and however much gold that translates too (a lot). I achieved by running non stop public bounties. Not bad if I say so myself. I posted my setup at the beginning of that Season use D3planner. I received nothing but ridicul🙁. As I see it, I made out like a bandit😁.

I may wrong, I thought Captain Set is tailor-made for Akkhan Set but it seem that the rating from Crus is not good.

However, I also found Captain Set + DH’s UE set is quiet good for farming. The additional RCR & CDR from the set allow me to free up Gogok Gem and spawn MS for long time. I just press and hold MS button then vault, never worry about Hatred consumption.

Since I’m not pro-gamer, don’t know is it good for GR pushing too?

UE+CC is alternative of pure UE.
UE+Sage is the best farming build. It was impossible before. Thanks to new Sage belt.

16

I too focused on Permanent MS + Vault and never do massive crafting. Totally overlooked this great option lol.

17

Feels pretty comfortable at GR90s, but not the 2min mark that Vyr Chandotos can do. Didn’t have any augments so could be better with augs on. I’m no pro gamer either.

Simple. LoD supposed to replicate LoN by giving you 2 extra ring slots for legendary powers but take away a gem slot in jewelry; that’s fair trade. It shouldn’t have any more chances. If you ask me, that damage bonus for wearing non-Ancient legendary, shouldn’t even be in the game but here we are.

I guess :frog: doesn’t like my context. There are so many items that can help reap TRILLIONS in gold: Shrines, Leg Gem, Gear (Goldskin to name one), rolling secondary affixes. You :frog: of little faith.

What about this: crimson still works as is, and LoN remade to new special ability

I think this will happen, maybe a few seasons later.
