This game just cost me $400.

Great.
 
I assume Seven-Sided Strike is for the AoE Damage + temp invuln? I wondered how that would be over Wave of Light > Explosive Light but wasn't sure I liked the cooldown.



Enable Elective Mode
Not so Legendary

Yeah and a slightly longer heal thanks to gaining 100 HP per SP spent. Both Sweeping Wind and SSS can be changed with other attacks. I'm partial to Exploding Palm for my Right Mouse button, for example but Wave of Light can be very nice as well. It's important to have some high Spirit Cost as a heal if you have a good Spirit Life Gain ratio. I'm gonna keep my eye out for more of those as well =o.
 
My mind is blown that people are complaining they can't beat this game on the hardest difficulty 9 days from release. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
 
Too much to list. :P

What's your avatar from? Looks like Magnus from X men movie.

Same actor(Michael Fassbender), but his name is David from the upcoming film, Prometheus, which looks to be AMAZING. Me and a few other anticipating fans got some avatars from the movie in the OT section.
 
I personally think it's stupid that a monk has better defense holding a huge shield instead of making himself more agile when dual wielding.

Monks should probably get a dodge bonus when not using a shield to make playing like a monk and not a tank statistically more viable and attractive. When you do the math, that 15% attack speed bonus for DW loses it's value a bit if you have many IAS items. So many monks live with the shield for the defense and don't lose a considerable amount of damage output.
 
Still think |OT3| Enable Elective Mode would be the most helpful if we want to go the serious route.

Yeah, I nabbed +20 on a ~900 DPS Staff which will be nice. Looking forward to getting more of that stat too.

WoL's Knockback saved my ass a lot, surprisingly, in the last bits of my grind to 60. Good stuff that one. I'll try SSS some later to see how I like it since I really, really want to like that skill.

Because dodge is a shitty defense mechanic.
 
Dammit Blizz, I'm extremely cool with having to farm before advancing to the next act in Inferno, but at least the monsters should drop Inferno level loot, not level 52 crap.

I'd vote for:

Diablo III |OT3| of wandering with metal detectors and Elective Mode enabling

anyway, this is ridiculous:

Playing Wiz on Act III. 56,000+ damage. He's just...dying perpetually. Not sure how much health he has (says Vitality: 911, so I think about 35,000), but his items are clearly ridiculous. Regardless, he's getting one-shotted constantly. Christ.

Oh, and he's somehow amassed $24,000,000+.

Oh, and he just found his first Legendary. His staff is doing 1200 damage or so, so I assume he just must have stupid int on everything else.

Edit: and now he finds his first Set item. wut
 
I am glad Inferno seems "undoable" with some builds right now. People just did not found the proper equipment yet methinks. You cannot speed up the RNG God in Diablo universe after all.
 
So apparently NL's witch doctor was testing some attack speed items and if you have an item that says "Increases attack speed by X%" it doesn't actually do anything, unless it's on a weapon. If it says "attack speed increased by X%" then it does work.

This is a very important point until it gets fixed. Should be read by everyone considering buying IAS items.
 
My Barb just looted 2 blues and 3 whites from the SK on NM.

I'm being fucking trolled by the undead because they know I don't want to use the AH. Was the Skeleton King reading my god damn posts today
 
I'm starting to really hate the in-game videos/cut scenes. I would love an option to disable/skip all of them. Act 4 is especially annoying:

Just as you enter, the game takes over controls and does a slow zoom out
Hit esc, confirm and wait while the game zooms in again and enables your controls
At some point during the fight you again get removed from the game
Hit esc, confirm, wait until you can start moving again
Defeat the "mini" boss and you get taken out of the game again
Back upstairs you again get to wait while the game goes through its BS animations
Defeat diablo, get a quest complete box that takes up your bottom screen
Then watch some video

D2 got it right, no garbage to distract you and/or kill your flow. Diablo is one smooth fight from the point you enter the church until you kill diablo. But instead we get some sort of FF/Wow type end boss fight. Doesn't feel like diablo at all and just feels wrong.
 
I'm about 3/4 through Act 1 and still only have the blacksmith artisan. I haven't missed a gem artisan yet, have I? I haven't seen any socketed items yet but it seems like I'm getting close to the end game of the first act.

I got all my good items, (at least in normal) from Champion/elite mobs... bosses rarely dropped anything good... Even the 4 rares i got from Diablo were basically useless

Jewelcrafter doesn't appear until Act II.

Don't expect good loot from bosses. When me and my friends did Act 4 Nightmare twice in a row, none of us got a single yellow from the last boss.
 
I've found that bosses are pretty consistant in giving me 2-3 rares when I have 5 stacks of the valor buff up. Been running the last bit of Act 3 on Hell to get some AH fodder to make money in order to buy better stuff off the AH. That and selling anywhere from 40-60 blues and a couple more rares from the mobs nets me around 40k-ish gold for about 45 minutes of work?

Anyone got a better place to do this? Also, would Act 4 give me better loot or am I just going to get about the same from farming Act 3?

He is
unmissable late in Act 2
 
I've beaten God Hand on Die-difficulty without ever using any God-powers.
I've beaten Devil May Cry 3 on DMD.
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls is a fucking joke.
I have a 97 hammerdin non-boosted on HC.
I've beaten all of WoWs vanilla content before any nerfs (besides AQ40)
I've beaten the first three Onimusha games with only Issens.
I've beaten Contra 3 multiple times without dying once.



QUIZ TIME!!!
What does all of the games above have in common that D3 doesn't have?

Can you guess it? You should be able to get it if you use your brain!

ALL OF THE GAMES ABOVE USES PIXEL FUCKING PERFECT GAMEPLAY. YOU DIE, IT'S YOUR FAULT. MELEE SWINGS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HIT YOU FROM 20 YARDS AWAY, YOU SILLY FUCKING COMPANY.
