Underperforming? Pretty much all main builds can go to GR130 at the high end. We’ve just gotten used to seeing Rend being the top that others are relatively lacking.
I agree the low end of builds could be shored up tho as touching even GR100 takes much more work than Rend. But I’m not sure I’d call them underperforming if you really invest.
It looks like the “based on Mainstat” abilities max out at 25k mainstat, which is easy to achieve since the followers (at least currently) get a multiplier to their mainstat. For instance, my Templar has 217 Str without any items equipped. If I give him a helm with 1000 Str, he then has 2717 Str.
Looking hopeful that I won’t need to grind extra augments!
Can confirm 25k on followers is super easy to hit, as long as the pieces are mostly ancient.
Anybody else prepping to farm HF ammy’s to replace their FoT? 
planning? Ive already seen 3 primals. Ofcourse all garbage though.
I had some decent ones that I salvaged because, you know…FoT is better… Time to refarm, sigh.
I still have my old ones from years ago that will still be great but im looking for perfect ones. Follower changes have made it so I only have two items to farm for perfect gear and a GG hellfire is one of them. Ive now seen 14 primal over the course of my d3 career. By that math Ive crafted around 6300 hellfires if they are 1/450. It still better then FOTs but its still a terrible grind.
I like the follower changes. No more flavor of time grinds. Free nemesis bracer. Lots of xp farm items too. Super good QOL changes. Leaderboard changes are super cool. I like playing off meta sets.
I don’t think this is the season theme though. Maybe next week?
I…don’t think we’re getting a season theme.
We might be surprised, who knows.
They said something about rotating them eventually. I’d take an old one over no one.
Definitely have some good ones collecting dust in the stash, very happy that the tyranny of FoT is coming to an end.
Now you just need to do Keywardens / Ubers to get materials to craft an element / CHC / CHD / Socket Hellfire amulet, with a useful passive.
It’s going to be rough crafting hellfires again
But my followers will have perfect primal FoT’s to help me farm 
Perfect for you and for your follower is different. you need to max our their main stat in order to get maximum follower benefits
Yeah, not great odds. If looking for something with the right stats, and rolls in the top 10% of possibilities, it’s roughly:
5/16 (useful passive) * 3/17 (one of 3 desired stats) * 2/16 (one of 2 other desired stats) * 1/6 (top range roll for stat 1) * 1/5 (top range roll for stat 2) = 30/155040 = .0001935, or about .02% chance for each Hellfire of getting one that fits the bill.
Meaning you have to craft about 3500 of them before you are more likely than not to have found such a thing.
For a primal, you can remove the 1/6 and 1/5 since the stat rolls will always be maxed, but you have to add in a 1/400 or 1/450 or whatever it is, meaning you’d have to craft more than 50000 of them for you to have a 50/50 shot of having found it…
I know that the fact that there are four elements, which if you get one removes the others, alters these probabilities a bit. But, like I said, this gives the rough idea.
Just from my personal experience hellfire primals seem to drop alot more then 1/400. Maybe Im always lucky but this was already my thought from years of farming them back before the flavor change. Now with these coming back I am already see primals drop 1/200-1/250 range to confirm my old theories. I am already on primal #5 in 3 days of farming with something like 1000 crafts. Problem is I already have a perfect normal drop from years ago so I am really just farming for the ability to augment it.
Or you could just farm 150 more paragon and then pretend you found a perfect ancient Hellfire…
I know. Once follower goes live I will only have two items that are not perfect outside of some subpar secondaries. Its that goal that ive been chasing for years.
Then blizz buffs ww and then I had to trash half my gear and start over. I got smart and started saving everything. Now these changes have eliminated two slots because i already have the gear waiting. The band of might wont be too hard but the hellfire is pretty much a time sink that is very unlikely to happen.
I am already sick of one shotting this bosses. Tonight will probably be the last night I farm for awhile.
