Depends on the skill. In rapid fire, each skill point corresponds to 10% of total damage. Plus 16% in explosions from my shadow imbuing. Which generates a 62% increase in damage. Very significant. I don’t know of other skills
no offense but i doubt you know how the dmg calculation works, when you also thought that shaco gives + skills to your passives.
I believe I know more than you about the calculations, I plan everything so you have an idea, I know how much 10% damage will increase in my build. I never had the shako, I thought it was 4 more for all skills and not just the active ones. Good Regardless, I don’t play with meta builds, I play with my own so the gauntlet is not for me.
i dont play a meta build this season either 
currently in the top 1000 in solo and group play - no uber equipped.
#flex
And wouldn’t it be more fun for you to be among the 50 in your build??? That the majority of those in your build have the shako and are in the best build.
oh it would, id need to use bone spear tho, but im sticking to my infinimist.
actually people do regularly use godslayer crown in the top 50s.
heres some news for u: even if all players entered the gauntlet with one locked basic attack u would still lose to the more hardcore players. done

exactly. people like to live under personal delusions that they are some incredible gamer and if only they could dedicate more time to the game they could prove they are just as good as the hardcore/professional gamers. the fact is they arent. those that have accepted that though try the different route and ask for countless leaderboards (ones for every build type) in the hopes that if there are enough leaderboards they might be able to make it on to one of them.

Making a game mode “not for most” is the problem.
This is exactly why I quit the game and moved on. The developers have no clue what they are doing with this game and it will only get worse.
i mean…so in your opinion no game should ever have any kind of ranking or leaderboard ?
being in the top 50 , 100, 500 or 1000 isn’t mandatory at all you can still enjoy the gauntlet to get the emblem for your profile , a bit of reward and improve your own score little by little.
a game should have content for both casual and hardcore
but never content only for casual and only for hardcore
in my opinion it’s good to have some content like LB and Aoz.
a Game need to have content for the more dedicated people
and personally , as a casual , i don’t mind at all not being in the top 50 or not being able to beat Aoz T25
i can still potentially get to the top 1000 or do Aoz up to 10 which in itself is nice.
If every content would be steamrolled by casual, there would be no point in getting better gear or trying to perfect our build.

I agree with sets, in d3 you don´t play class you play set. To be honest in term of build variability its pretty much same here, only difference is you always need to use 6 specific aspects instead of 6 green items, but whatever.
But can you explain to me why Rifts is bad idea?
Or better why rifts would not be better than current content?
On one hand you have same layout, with same mobs, with annoying (and same) objectives) on the other hand you have chaning layouts, changing mobs and straightforward killing. Don´t think its some godly content, but still better than anything we have now.
so dumb to make content for 50-100 players at the current state of the game. that every could have gone elsewhere.
and even the 50-100 players are already getting sick of gauntlet.
What are you talking about. The fourms where full of ppl QQ about leaderboards. Now ppl QQ cause they arnt good enough.
Its not hard to place on lb but to be in top 100 it is a competing environment. Now ppl QQ because they arnt good enough.
The fact they have difficulty at nm70 its not about challenge but strategy. I was actually really surprised with how much strategy goes into obtaining higher scores.

way too much. people wanted simply a leaderboard, not a carefully crafted experience which sucks to play. the game is about mindlessly killing hoardes of monsters, not chess.
but you’re a white knight anyway and will happily eat any turd just to prove us wrong.
Agreed but its nice to have a blend of mindless and strategy. Its the only part of the game you need to actually use your brain and ppl cried about AoZ difficulty so currently it allows all to participate.
Not exactly. I dislike how much of D3s ultra casual entitlement have change the game. Game however has exceptionally smooth combat and gameplay. The more they go down the road of turning D4 into that brainless mobile game with 4 hours of gameplay per season like D3 ill move on.
tell me one leaderboard of any game or any thing where the ones at the top play without thinking “mindlessly” to quote you.
None.
In every game, competition is about thinking ahead, make a plan etc… or putting a whole lot of dedication in something
even rock paper scissor is a whole mind game.
you just aren’t cut out for competition, so what ? it’s not mandatory.

This is something they did right. Im really enjoying the guantlet because of the strategy. It still gives me a reason to log in a couple hour a week. Ive been done with S3 for awhile because of how casual/short things have become.
Tho I find solo guantlet tedious but with friends its a very social affair.
With randomised Greater Rifts people waste keys and time on fishing for the best map and people complained about it too. Competing in same layout makes it a bit more fair play but people complain again…
So argument against much better content is some super small minority finishing perfect GR?
D4 was designed from the ground up to be a dumb mobile game-like live service experience. There won’t be any magical 2.0 patch like in D3.
