I wanted to ask a long time ago if MF and GF on your following mattered. Good to know. I'm assuming there is but I haven't looked yet, can you put your follower on passive? It annoys me when they engage and enemy I'm not ready to deal with.
"No, don't do that don't do that!!! Fuck why'd you shoot the Treasure Goblin!"
Every day.

Scumbag Treasure Goblin is one of the best things ever. You can chase him but he'll always kite you to some absurd pack of monsters. He's awesome.
Time to loot!
I wish I could just drag him around in the barrel.
its this reason that i dont use followers and to be honest the elemental ally is a moron as well. Today at lunch he went from pack to pack starting fights...its almost as if i am following him. Then the coup de grace of our little nature walk was him running into a pack of [fire chain, waller, frozen] elite mobs while I was at 0 spirit and my mantra was not up.
No not the hand you 5 knuckle shuffle with Yoshi!

You know...i didn't realize you could leave followers behind. Though even still I probably wouldn't because their disables often times come in handy. Plus, my follower is doing like 4,000 damage, so it's a little helpful. But I'll definitely give that some thought.
Treasure Goblin is the ultimate in devastating things the game throws at you. The enemy modifiers have nothing on it. It's like a distraction spell with a 100% success rate.

Sums it up nicely.
So for your class what do you think the most worthless skills are?
For Demon Hunter:
-Serpetine Chakram: Slow slow slow slow. Never hits shit due to it's weird arc, and the fact it moves at a snails pace. Only way for it to hit stuff is if your enemy somehow decides to stop moving for 5 seconds.
-Bounty Hunter Entangling shot: Not a fan of entangling period.. but runing life leech on such a low damaging skill is stupid. Factor in inferno nerfing life steal and you got this POS.
-Fan of Knives, all versions: A 10 second cooldown skill with a 10 yard range? SIGN ME UP!. Why would you take this? All versions except the 20 yard range one require you to be close to the things trying to smash you. Not to mention you sacrifice your steady aim bonus if you want it to hit anything. Might of been useful if not for the cooldown.
-Companion Ferret: Gives you a 10% GF bonus... wee? I guess it adds up.. but that's a waste slot.
-Hot Pursuit (Passive): 15% speed buff with full hatred. Great a skill that's only useful when you're not fighting. Basically this only helps you if you're running through an already cleared level. Yay?
-Perfectionist (Passive): 10% reduction to discipline costs. Sounds great, but since most disc costs are about 12-14.. that's only a 1 point reduction. You'd have to cast Smoke screen 12-14 times to add up enough to SS again. Which is a moot point since you used preparation after you casted SS 5 times... which made those 5 points you saved useless.

I always try to corner the little bitch against the wall and he still finds a way to escape.

Yeah. 2.7k is enough to be useful. It'll be nice once I get him higher though. Templar needs a lot more work though, VIT/All Resist and STR.
I'll probably try and buff the Enchantress too soon.

I've never let that little fucker get away but I haven't gone through the entire game yet.
I saw him summon a portal once, or maybe I was tripping balls...can we step into the portal they open?

I can't even describe how it feels to go through that hell and manage to isolate the little bastard only for him to teleport away when his health rolls into the triple digits. On more than one occasion he's teleported off a mere fraction of a second before his death.
Brings me back to Golden Axe. Quit yer runnin'... FUCK! Let me just... hit... dammit!

i'd love to see them pop during a boss fights too.
yes they summon a portal and jump through if your not quick enough. i remember some npc dialogue about their realm or something along those lines. I couldn't imagine a bunch of those little bastards running around trying to flee.

I like my little Ferret buddy. Any little bit of GF% helps. Not like I need the slot anyway for gold run farms. Honestly, I like the gold pickup radius part more than the 10% GF. Pick gold up from the other side of the screen? Why thank you my little furry companion. Thank you.
...but, yeah, it's pretty shitty.
Edit: Though, it doesn't actually reflect +10% to your GF% so I don't even know if it's functioning, really.

Doesnt seem like you can. A shame really, would have been a golden opportunity for a secret level with a boss called Greedd ( listen to the lore about them )

Does anyone have a great build for a 51 DH starting Hell difficulty with two crossbows and boundless optimism?

Don't worry. You'll redo him again on a new character or the next difficulty and the one after that and after that, etc.
Good on you for sticking it through. Repeating stuff sucks, but it's just a small inconvinence in the scope of a game like this.
Wait till you get to Act 2, then you'll be like "can't believe I was going to give up on this game over something so trivial."
SACRILIGE!
I still wish it said "Gheed" instead of "Greed" so we could hop on over and murder that damn merchant from Act 1 Diablo 2.

lol I would prefer Gheed from D2...anyone else remember him? Care for a gamble?

I intentionally let one escape since the lore blurb made me think you could follow them into their portals.
Never again, lore. </3
I'll chase a treasure goblin to the fucking ends of the earth, elites be damned. I don't care about anything else but that conniving little mongrel dying by my hand, even if it means my entire party dies with me. And my barbarian runs slow as fuck too, so it's extra frustrating.

I'm now wishing I never beat the butcher on inferno...
Vault ftw.
When i had cyclone strike slotted I would pull that motherfucker in every time he tried to escape. No running away from me you piece of shit treasure goblin.
Just give me a damn SoJ Gheed. Come on. Be a pal. I've given you billions, man, BILLIONS.
I wish the templar would stop bumrushing the treasure goblin the second it comes on the screen. I usually play co-op, so it's not that big of an issue then, but every time I'm doing something solo and a goblin pops up, the templar rushes it before I can clear any of the surrounding areas out and the goblin runs through like 3 packs of elites q_q
Disagree.
Ferret adds up quite a lot, especially when I was running through Hell. Once I get some areas down on farm in inferno(or if I'm running with a party in inferno) I'll be using it. When you get to the point where you can kite well you can sacrifice that skill slot to use it.
Hot Pursuit is great as well in the lower levels when you're not having to use hatred so much to kill mobs. In the latter difficulties you're using hatred more often and doesn't become that useful. Good for farming runs though with vault/(old)ss.
