Optimizing Blood Shard farming with Db?

[Prolly]

Well, hello everybody in the Demonbuddy Forum!

It's been a week or so that I am using Demonbuddy and even if I'm not that skilled in configurating it I was pleased by the fact that everything seemed to work fine for me xD
I tried out many profiles, one of which is ''Rift Bot'' that seems to work greatly!


I am mainly using the bot to try my luck with a kridershot drop and after reading this intresting article in the official forum:

(Legendary "Drop Rates" Explained (TLDR Warning) - Forums - Diablo III)

Article that basically says that Kadala is the best way to get those hyper rare items that simply won't drop from normal monsters, I've decided to go for blood shards as fast as I can. The problem is, using that ''Rift Bot'' profile, evaluating which way to farm is faster in terms of shards/hour is kinda hard. So if i may, I'd like to ask your opinion.

My DH is 270 paragon,
5 pieces Marauder set+ Royal Grandeur Ring
Natalya's Slayer+ Natalya Ring+ Bombardier Quiver ( I could go double Danetta if i want in case a speed farming is needed)
Basically 1,2kk Damage, 14kk Toughness (I'm not in bad spot actually, I could easily farm T4)

My standard build is the elemental arrow/ Cluster arrow + 5 turrets + Companion


What would you recommend for an optimal shard/hour amount? T4 farming? Maybe T1 double Danetta farming with ''use mov. skills out of combat''? Expert or something else?
Hope this could be intresting not only for me!

Not related to your specific request but kridershot isn't a fit with sentry build from my experience. The MS and C/A fire builds are a better fit. I tried with the kridershot and running the fear fire elemental and it doesn't do nearly the dmg of the MS + C/A build so it sits in my bag.

The best sentry setup seems to be a nice 2xbow vs (1h) and use the SOJ for elite dmg or get unity rings. with the Unity rings, i can basically run T6 non-stop... I personally find that the bot is slow navigating so clear speeds need to be balanced with bonus XP. Just something to consider before focusing all on kridershot gambling.

Well That's a pretty nice feedback! Thank you, I'll surely consider it out! ^^

OT: (About the Stone of Jordan: I'm working on it, I've found...like....5 of them but they were all with garbage stats eheh
About the ''2xbow vs (1h)'': what bows are you thinking of? Something like Windforce?)

 

[yoyorick]

i think windforce is a bow and not a xbow. the x-bow is slower but has much higher average dmg which is what you care about for sentry damage. So say a manticore which is common and always rolls with a socket and crit dmg. Reroll the crit dmg to %dmg increase and you have a pretty nice weapon to work with.

ah! ''x'' stands for cross ahah, i'm sorry! Roger, i got a Manticore in my stash ( it was my first lv 70 leg weapon and her stats are nearly maxed the luck ) Pretty thank you for the input!
