Something I'm curious about in regards to dual wielding with Monk. Should I bother if my other weapon is lower in DPS? Seems like my character sheet will report my damage is higher, but in application I'll attack just as fast and my attacks associated with the other weapon do less damage, so it seems like they alternate rather than stack. Meaning I'll get more consistent high damage sticking to the one weapon?

Picking this up after work then. I do not PC game anymore and all I have is a 4 year old Toshiba laptop and the video card overheats. I need to crack it open and put some thermal paste on the GPU but I am too lazy/scared.
Anyways, windowed mode keeps my card from overheating. And I have a Geforce 8700M GT so I meet the requirements.
I have avoided the hype and anticipation. Now, I am 100% pumped to install this later.
I played D2 post patch 1.09 online for 4 years or so religously, went through several accounts, would buy items off Lewt. Then later I botted a bit and it killed the game for me. I played WoW off and on and then hardcore raiding pre-cataclysm. I quit a few months after Ulduar. As I spent way too much time raiding and it was really affecting my life.
Anyways, the point is I fucking love Blizzard, and I kept myself from being excited about DIII, I haven't played it at all, just watched a few videos last year. Poked my head in a couple of times on the beta forum and that is it. Now, I have only to be anxious for 7 hours until I can pick this up. HYPE TRAIN AT FULL SPEED until then.
tldr; I am buying DIII and I have been addicted to every other Blizzard RPG. My life is over.

Look at this as an opportunity to learn how to balance your Blizzard love with the rest of your life.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding.
So the game, even though if it lasts only for 12 hours? Is great?
Yay

Thanks man, been lied to for the entirety of my life. Always thought scandinavia was just over a small sea to my east.
You're correct that the game alternates weapon swings (MH -> OH -> MH -> OH) so you'd actually lose damage overall if your off-hand weapon is that much worse than your main hand. Yes, you get 15% IAS for dual wielding but if you have a 20 DPS weapon in the MH and a 10 DPS in the off-hand, you're doing less damage overall.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Like, it's no fucking joke. If you liked normal then you'll love nightmare because it's 5x better.

I want GPS tracking, dammit UPS!
And I think I've settled on a title for OT2. I have some other good ones up my sleeve, but I'll probably save them for later as they work better when the game's been out for a bit.

Awesome stuff....should have my copy any minute now!
If it takes a little bit of planning and strategy I'll love it.

For the record, that applies to all classes. Dual Wielding isn't always "sweet, more damage!" just by throwing something in there. Try to keep the two weapons relatively close. If your Main Hand is leagues better than your off-hand, you're better off not dual wielding. Typically.
I wish I could give something more concrete than "similar DPS" though :|

Lol, so damn true. I get nervous seeing the image retention just from watching SC2 on my plasma. :/
I need to get a second HDTV (LED) just for gaming.
Been 10 seconds. F5 the thread.

Too bad they probably know nothing about D3.
Once I get a TV stand and a receiver for surround, my new 47" LED is going to get LIT UP BABY

No. It's horrible, and we're all posting in this thread so quickly because we all think it sucks.

No collectors edition by me
Surprisingly I brought it up to my boss, and he just doesn't have a PC to play it. So he knows of Diablo. He's a big Halo head though.

It takes a lot of planning and strategy. At least that's how it is for my frenzy baba. If you press one button wrong, you're pretty much dead. Example: you proc your defensive cooldown two seconds earlier than you should, it runs out and the champions kills you. gg

OT2 title should really stay the same... people didn't even get to start clicking until around the 15,000th reply. Unless we're talking about clicking the refresh button on our browsers.
