You're just mad because you can't drop bells on people.
At what difficulty are you? Later on things get WAY more complicated.

Not touching HC with a 40-foot pole. Not for another month or two til the server fuckery has subsided.

Explosive Toads is pretty sweet at the start of Act 2
Yeah, I have been banking vitality gear and going with full on DPS. Worked really well until nightmare. Now it is pretty tough getting 2-3 shot. Also I should move my skill points around for better kiting.

It's kind of funny seeing you pop in for a single post and then go back to playing. What did you mean by this comment?
The moment I hit Level 12 I basically shouted into Skype "FUCK YES BELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"
I have no regrets.
Clearly you're the cause of the maintenance :x
don't you want to have memories of your HC dying to lag, so you can look back on launch and fondly enjoy how things have improved...no?
Dammit Yoshi answer us!!!!

I totally want to sell just enough stuff in Diablo 3 to be able to transfer $60 to Battle.net to buy Starcraft II. I wonder how easy (or hard) it will be to make obtain that goal.
Hilariously effective early, less so later on when intelligence on items starts scaling up drastically and SH stops tripling your DPS.

Haha, I liked using it for awhile but the novelty wore off eventually, that thing just takes too much Spirit for my liking. Maybe once I get some better runes for it I'll give it another shot.
I was just thinking about this. I wonder what the average Legendary will sell for? $1.00 or so maybe?
You were bitching about other people (who are having issues) bitching.

There's no reason that I'm finding, it's still my main attack. Just throw out a acid rain every once in a while for the short DoT effect. Although in one more level I do get zombie bears and they actually look promising.
Although for boss fights I'm finding haunt (consuming spirits) and locust swarm (cloud of insects) a lot more effective than soul harvest as there usually isn't enough to get up to 5 stacks, and the DoT's are nice so you can move around a lot. I usually take the two DoTs over harvest and dire bats/zombie dogs depending on the fight. Also I've been starting to use hedge wizard in nightmare and hell and it's actually pretty effective. So nice to disable 1 mob pretty much the entire fight.
There is an absolutely massive difference between good and poor gear of the same level. A bit of frugal AHing and I've more than doubled my HP pool and increased my DPS without sacrificing my Magic Find.
Anyway, I feel like as somewhat of a spirital successor to Diablo 2, this game is fantastic.. But as Diablo 3, there are a lot of things I'm disappointed in. Not least of which is the absolutely horrible storyline, riddled with storytelling cliches and completely devoid of the dark, foreboding atmosphere that was in D2.

I can only assume that unless you have three other dedicated skilled players and you're willing to spend a lot of time farming it would be very difficult. I think you'd be better off opening a lemonade stand, but I'm cynical.

You must be talking about something else, because Diablo 3 isn't a single player game.
You just jinxed it. It'll still be broken next week!
Family is visiting today, so my playtime will definitely be limited as well, I'm praying things are smoothed out over the next few days for a long weekend here in Canuck land, so the limited time I do have, I'll actually be able to play.
It's depressing to wonder how many posts in this thread are purely about being disgruntled with the damn server troubles
I was going to edit this elsewhere but, hey, it's been like 20 posts since that one so ...!
+2-4 damage Ring means it adds on average 3 Damage per hit. This does not scale with Attack Speed so Faster weapons skew this a bit (e.g., if you have 1.5 Attacks per second, this is +4.5 DPS instead of +3 DPS). For the sake of this example, I'll just stick to 1.0 Attacks per second but felt like mentioning this. So, at 1.0 Attacks per second, this Ring will add, on average, 3 Damage per hit per second or +3 DPS.
Anyway, this +3 Damage is just added directly to your weapon(s) and THEN modified by your Crit Modifiers (which, for low levels, will be something around a +10% increase). Now, assuming you have 100 in your Stat, that whole thing is then multiplied by +100% Damage ... which gets us to around +7-ish DPS.
Seems like it was always intended to be 2 hours (according to their twitter) and they just listed the wrong end time on the alert message.
That's good to hear.
Right now it's basically:
Run in in soul form
Soul Harvest and run out
Spam Direbats til OOM
Spiders or Firebombs
Use Haunt on bosses for a life leech DoT.
Use Guargantuan to keep enemies off me.
Don't worry, if Blizzard gave them a single player mode they'd bitch about not being able to bring that character online, or use the auction house.
It's always something.
Usual Yoshi, he just wants do stay in the center of attention as usual
And saying Monk is derp as a BARBARIAN is inherently funny anyway
Maybe 1 or 2.
Honestly, what i've done was all finished in less than 2 full days.
/blurgh beaten. I forgot the servers are down so the PPS (posts per second) of this thread are through the roof currently.

Anyone asking about drop rates: they're dog shit in this game. It's one of my MAJOR complaints. not enough unique/set items at low levels, so you don't have things like arctic furs, sigon's, treads, all that shit to look whet your appetite. Yeah it's a loot game and some stuff needs to be rare, but making it so every single legendary is like a once a year event just doesn't give you enough of a taste for getting excited about killing shit.
When I've killed every boss in this game on the first 3 difficulties multiple times each and NEVER seen anything but a yellow (and even then, only yellows on normal the first time where they're guaranteed. I have NEVER seen an act boss even drop a rare item on NM or Hell. Neither has anyone I play with)....it's a bit fucking stupid. I have one unique, a shit witch doctor mask from a champ group in NM act 1. One of my guildmates has a wizard hat from normal. Everyone else in my wow guild that plays (probably 10 people) and EVERYONE ELSE ON MY FRIENDS LIST (which is a shitton of people) have a combined total of 2 unique items. The vast majority of us are level 60 or nearing it, it's pretty fucking silly.
They really needed MORE unique and set items so that you could have them doled out throughout the game, instead of smashing 90% of them at level 60 required inferno drops. As it is I don't even get excited to kill bosses anymore, it's turned into a sad joke that all you're going to get is some shitty 50 dps normal mode magic item.
Before anyone says 'magic find lol' go look up the items. there are BARELY any uniques or set items to get at all, and in D1 and D2 you would get SOME of this stuff without needing to stack that MF while you levelled.
Game is great, but if people don't get a bone once in a while they won't stay for the real meat and potatoes of item farming.

If they ever do add them, there's three shared skill slots (Primary, Secondary, Defensive) so all items can potentially get those. Class Unique things could then get the others. But it'd be a nightmare in terms of balancing since not all skills get to be treated equally (+10% to Wizard Force skills, for instance, would mean very different things for every singe skill there).
So ... no idea if they'll do them.

People really need to stop using this line. It's no more a single player game than Guild Wars is. Yet, GW requires you to be online 100% too. Sure you can play alone, but the game was designed from the ground up to be battle.net enabled and played online with drop-in/drop-out multiplayer and auction house functionality. They made this clear years ago. People need to stop blaming Blizzard because they're bad consumers and buy things they don't agree with.
Very true, and seemingly odd to me. The over under on the stat values across all tiers seems to be MASSIVE on rares, but far more concentrated on uniques.
I got way more of a Torchlight vibe out of my first playthrough than I did a D2 vibe. But I spose we have market research to thank for that. Nothing to be done about it now tho, and while it is disappointing it won't stop me from playing.
Drops rates are hightened the first time you kill a boss for each character. Afterwards the drop rates dramatically fall off.
It's effectively been a day.
Yeah there were a lot of lower level item sets in D2. Some parts were rare and hard to find but were still there. I personally haven't seen a legendary, unique or set item (do they even exist?)
Yeah, +Damage on your equipment is added on top of your Weapon damage _and then_ Attack speed is factored, then crit modifiers, then Stat modifiers, and then whatever skill you're using.
+3 Damage at 500 STR all of a sudden means a lot :x

I would be somewhat confused if you had much more than 2 days invested. I mean it is only the seventeenth.

I hate to be cynical but I wonder if drop rates were lowered somewhat in order to increase Blizzard's earnings from the real money AH?
Regardless, this is disappointing to hear.
