Just so I get this right, there's no more allocation of skill points right? You simply unlock everything and pick 6 active ones at any given time? They're power is increased only by inserting high level rune stones in the skill?

Yoshi... when can I come visit? Yoshi? You alive bro?
What is also weird, I have not seen any shots of any Rare weapons (D2's Golden weapons) or even the Green Set items. Cannot wait to see what other things they add to weapons to further alter characters. I wonder if the kept some of the weapons having Skills built into them?
Fallout-NL said:
You level up, stats increases like WoW (Distributed to your characters based upon what they need) and you unlocks the various skills as you progress. Power will increase based upon stats, gems and the various weapons/Armour etc that might increase specific stats/weapon damage.
Fallout-NL said:
Skills increase in power as you level up. They're augmented by runes. Sometimes this means making the skill more powerful, other times it means completely changing what the skill does to make it a better skill for certain situations.
Beyond that, it is unknown yet if there will be specific item attributes which will increase skill power or not... but I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

Correct. Here's an article covering it: http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/118/1185753p1.htmlFallout-NL said:

Right, thanks for all the replies guys.
I guess I kinda like that decision, I was always way too anal about planning where and when the skill points would go instead of just enjoying them and experimenting a little.

I heard a 16th at earliest. It's only the 15th here in the future (ie Australia)

Here is a rather interesting Demon Hunter Build I came up with that centers around Slows/Traps.
Essentially, Low cost for caltrops for aoe slows, 3 spiked traps at once for aoe damage, drop a turret which tethers a damaging chain to yourself, then toss in vault with tumble for a lot of mobility. Entangling shot will be the main shot which tethers 9 mobs at once and multi can provide ranged aoe with discipline regen. Toss in passives for reduced disc, longer traps/turrent and extra damage to slowed mobs.
You can really just pick an ability/effect and build synergy around it! It's fucking awesome and god I wish at least lvl 1 runes were in the beta!!!

crit build for a wizard, so many ways to go about making a character cant wait to find out if even half these builds would actually work lol.

Yeah I totally cant get into the skill calculators. It's good as a way to see the skills and their runestones respective effects, but I have no way to know how it actually plays, it's just a list of skills I may or may not have at level 30.

if that's accurate is pretty neat that it's as evenly distributed as it is. That said, I'm not surprised by wizard being on top. Having seen some of the spells, it definitely seems to be the class with the most spell based bling.
XStasisX said:
man, I wish, mostly because the monitors are huge and they are beast machines.
But most of all, as I've said earlier in this thread, there is a 21" Cintiq which would be incredible to play Diablo on. The pen would be destroyed though.
Back at work. Watching reading everything Diablo related. Youtube blocked. Just streams all day while working.
I will hate all days until this comes out and if I get to beta, for the first time, I will take holiday...
*hopes to really get there to use one gif that sums the feeling which I will have

Yeah, but not when I was actively playing it

Once per act I believe, for doing the Den of Evil quest. It was only added in a patch 2 years ago or so.zoukka said:

I was bored, waiting for the Beta and tried Torchlight demo. Pretty fun. Should I dip 15$ ?

even if the beta comes out very soon, and even if you get into it, you'll still be able to finish torchlight before d3 is out at retail.

Any shot in hell this'll run on a mid-2011 13-inch MBA?

Dip it is then.
Second question: Why people seems so eqger to choose one class ? There's only 60 levels right ? And from the streams, you seem to level pretty fast ! Why would you need to commit to only one char ?
V_Arnold said:
Yea Arnold isn't actually kidding. You level up fast in DII too in the early stages. If people have to play multiple times to get to level cap of 13 in beta that's actually good.
I remember Blizzard saying that DIII Level 60 =/ DII Level 60.
I think they said something like 0-30 normal, 30-50 nightmare and 50-60 hell.

I plan to play all the characters at some stage, but there will be one I prefer over all else.
