I’m trying to farm avarice band and I’ve done more act 3 bounties than I want to remember. I’ve got 271 Areat War Tapestries and still no avarice band. Is it ultra-rare? I don’t remember problems getting it in the past.
And on a related note, if I have to clear all the enemies on one more level of the barracks, I’m taking a hostage.
What difficulty are you doing it on? Keep in mind that you have to do the bounties at LEAST on T1 to have a 100% chance at one of the T3 items. T16 you tend to get roughly 3 items, which greatly increases your chances at getting Avarice Band. On the other hand, if you’ve been doing Normal, your chances aren’t great even with that many tapestries.
No it’s not ultra-rare. But I had some streaks of bad luck with this ring (or RoRG) as well.
In one season, I get it on my first run, and on the next season it won’t drop until I open a topic in the Forums complaining about it.
btw.: You do know that a ruby in weapons is not the best option, right?
That’s funny as hell. Two sets of bounties later, and it finally dropped for me.
Yes, I know that ruby is better, but my character was VERY glass cannon-ey and I needed it to survive. I’m actually a little tougher now and I might try putting the ruby back in. Another problem was that with shadow impale, I can’t be one-shotting everything, otherwise my karlei’s point won’t recoup hatred.
If you’re talking about one of your DHs (I do): Ruby is nowhere a valid option. Helm: Doesn’t help anything. Weapon: Emerald is better. Armor: Emerald or Diamonds are better.
And regarding toughness: Use Vengeance-Dark Heart. You don’t need Seethe with S6. For hatred issues during bounties, use Blood Vengeance instead of Ambush.
Point is not to weaken yourself so you can get your resource back, killing your speed/efficiency, point is to slot in spells like Preparation - Punishment rune so you can get your resource back from other means (just like you’re using Bat companion). You can choose to go with resource generating passive or cube slot if you want.
I didn’t have much problem gaining enough hatred to spend while I played Impale DH in T16 rifts/low gr. Annoying and still won’t use it for speed farming, but doable nontheless.
Tried to come up with some kind of shadow farmer but it’s just… easier to do anything but shadow (or a shadow hybrid of some kind instead)
Cold rune if you’re tanky enough will let you herd great groups for insta pass through kills and resource, lightning can do the same but you have to discipline yourself to only throw when surrounded, otherwise just a cpl clicks and you’re out of hatred
the best I did was a shadow/marauder hybrid ala Chakramania influence before it got nerfed (didn’t survive ptr to live transition without nerfing it out of viability) but this can still get you a t10-13 farmer, after that no…
It’s designed as a Grift Runner/RGK, literally from conception to implementation it is NOT designed for the rest of the game.
