Proc Mechanics - Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker

I got all information from Druin's post.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/12506331470

General Inforamtion about procs

Item procs do not appear to proc Area Damage.
Item procs do not appear to be able to proc other item procs.


Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker



Chance on hit to blast your enemy with Lightning, dealing 279 - 372% weapon damage as Lightning and then jumping to additonal  nearby enemies. Each enemy hit has their attacp speed and movement speed reduced by 30% for 3 seconds. Jumps up to 5 targets.

Mechanics Thunderfury Proc

does listed %damage.
hits target you are attacking.
will proc with either weapon when dual-wielding and uses active weapon to determine proc damage.
hits up to 5 targets one of which is always the target being attacked.
has an internal cooldown of 1/APS
does not scale with +% lightning damage


Analysis Thunderfury
The proc of Thunderfury makes this weapon so powerful, therefore you want a high %damage of the procc. (range 279-372%) It provides a very good amount of aoe damage. Furthermore it provides a defensive debuff on monsters.

With a guranted socket, you will only hope for the right stat (dexterity, strength or intelligence) and for %damage or attack speed. Then you can reroll the damage of the Thunderfury.


 

I only have a bad rolled Thunderfury which has Strength and low % proc damage. I wanted to use it for my monk, so I decided to reroll strength. But a bad Thunderfury is better then no Thunderfury.

Farming Essence of Twin Seas for Captain Crimsons Trimmings Set

Essence of Twin Seas is used for Captain Crimsons Trimmings Set
This legendary crafting material is hard farmable, because there is only one bounty, which occurs very rarely.


There is only one bounty, which is worth to farm it and this bounty is very very very rare, so I suggest to farm this legendary crafting material in a group.

Act 2 - Howling Plateau / Black Canyon Mines - Kill Razormouth

1. Start an adventure game as highest torment level as possible.

2. Look for the act2 bounty Kill Razormouth (Howling Plateau).



3. If you found it, then invite your friends.

4. Take the waypoint to the Howling Plateau and run north to the Black Canyon Mines, where you will find Razormouth.





5. Kill him.

Good look finding this bounty.

How to powerlevel your own heroes without boosting from others?

With this method of power leveling you don't need someone who must waist their time to boost you, but you will need someone other. The big difference for the other player is, he will get rewarded for helping you with gold and xp. If you read already my blog, you know which run we will do.

Preparation:

1. You need a lev 70 hero, who can do T6 Bounty Act 4 (Clear the Hell Rift)
As I recommend in the guide a ranged hero is preferred and it is also doable with medicore gear.

2. level your hero to lev 5+.

3. Find someone who needs gold or / and xp. This player must not be geared very well.

4. Provide the player all information about Hell Rift Farming T6  or sent him this link to the guide.



Your Powerleveling starts now:

1. You open a T6 adventure game with your lev 70 hero and look for the act 4 bounty "Clear the Hell Rift".

2. If you find a game kill all except 1-5 monsters.

3. Invite the other player and wait until he ported to you.

4. You port to town, leave the game, switch your hero to your leveling hero and join the resuming game. The other player must wait.

5.  After you joined the game and ported to the other player, he can kill all remaining monsters and finish the bounty.

(If your partner is geared enough, he can try the cursed chest and hope for the white monsters.)

6. Repeat until lev 70

Current Play Time: 1 Hour 9 Minutes, but this char was also used for storing items.

Your hero will get a high amount of experience per run and level very fast.
At low level you will get 4 level per run, above 64 you only get 1 level per run.

I leveled my crusader, witch doctor and 2nd monk with this method, but I forgot to count the number of runs. I did some math and it will be less then 25 runs to level from lev 5 to lev 70.

During the time you search and prepare a game, I recommend that you partner don't waste his time. The best thing he can do is farming legendary crafting materials.

Following Guides for farming legendary crafting materials provide this blog:
Shard of Entsteig Plate (Aughild's Authority Set)
Born Key (Born's Command Set)
