I'm just using whatever is the best thing I find, though I'd prefer to find something one handed though. Currently using a 2 handed crossbow, and it's vurrry strong.

Amazon apparently it came to light with ME3.

Something in the options menu which allows you to
a) choose as many skills as you want from whichever tree you want
and
b) bind them anywhere
The default system only allows you to pick one skill per tree and mandates specific key bindings.
edit: jesus this thread moves fast when the servers are down ;p
Back when I was growing up, games (like Diablo, and Diablo 2) had offline modes.
That way, the entire population of the universe wasn't held hostage to poor planning and ineptitude. Millions of people have paid $59 and can't play the game THEY JUST BOUGHT, cause Blizzard only had 10 years to prepare for this day.
It's our fault, really. They go with unimpressive blurry cartoon graphics, and we are down with that. Yeah Bliiz, it looks Greeeeeeeeeeat!!!!
They totally strip out all the stats and customizability, lobotimize the game play (even more) and we're cool with that too. WE NEED OUR CLICKY GAMES TO BE EASIER, GO BLIZZ@!!@!@#
They introduce a pay to win AH so they can make even more money, and hey, we're like JUST TAKE OUR MONEY!!!fry.jpg.
So many shitty decisions, not the least of which is designing a non-mmo game that can only be played when their broken-ass servers are up, and we shower them with our money anyways.
Myself included. Sigh. What a load.

Seriously tho, the Activision stink really is on Blizzard.

I'm having fun so far, but the performance, or is it lag?, it chugs at times, which is strange.
Down again, what a let down.

Wait, you haven't even unlocked the rune system yet? A little early to be critiquing the skill system don't you think? I used more skills in the beta than I ever did in D2.

Bizzaro world??
I just got to lvl 17 before the downtime and I'm loving it too. What skills and runes are you running with?
I'm using Bola shot with the Volatile Explosives rune and Rapid Fire with the Withering Fire rune for my attacking slots. On the defensive slots I'm using Caltrops with Hooked Spines and Vault with Action Shot. Works pretty well so far.

Don't pass gaas, it is your Destiny!
Got to play a bit, good shit. To bad I looked at my old wow account, all my guys are nude and there is a lvl 1 named fgfdsfsfg or something. Added the auth to my account, don't play wow anymore but kinda bothers me that bilz has such shitty security.
I like the wizard a lot now, but leveling up the wizard from 5 to 20 or so was a chore. I feel like her progression is all screwy.
I feel like Arcane Orb without runes is already a great AoE spell relative to the other things she has before getting meteor and blizzard and runes of other spells, and then very early on you get a +damage rune for it, so it's even harder to justify taking anything else.
So then you still need a signature. Magic Missile is the obvious call here, because it also has a good early rune (also +damage), and because you need something for single-target and taking both Arcane Orb and Ray of Frost probably doesn't leave enough room or AP for the other things you want until you have 5 or 6 skill slots.
Then you're going to take Wave of Force or Frost Nova, and probably Diamond Skin once it becomes available because of how amazing it is. Then you get runes for these already-good spells which makes it even harder to justify taking the later spells that don't have useful runes yet.
So I felt like I got forced to take Magic Missile, Arcane Orb, Wave of Force/Frost Nova, and (with a fourth slot) Diamond Skin for a very long time, and that pretty much nothing else was going to come close to that effectiveness-wise.
Anybody else have similar thoughts about the Wizard? What about other classes?

Not for a lot of people. People need to accept Blizzard can make bad, anti consumer decisions like the rest of em.

They really should have put a prompt towards the start of the game that brings this stuff up.

Go to the Gameplay options and check "Elective Mode" then open your skills pane and drag whatever skill you have on mouse one off the bar. No skill = Melee Attack.
That being said, I'm playing a Witch Doctor myself (level 25 right now). You never need to melee... though I do agree it should be an option to hold down a button or something.

Godammit. I want to play hardcore on the asia server, because I live in Japan, but Im visiting in north america right now. So I had to start off playing on the American server. Fine, I figure Ill get to level 10 softcore, then jump into asian hardcore. But now I find out the hard way that the level 10 requirement applies to each server ...

but you said anywhere.. please inform me so I can shop at the correct ones.
Noone?
I was wondering the same thing. Anybody got an answer?
This is kind of how I feel about the Witch Doctor... Why would I chose frogs and spiders over my blowgun when it is so much more effective as a single-target ability?

I have a rather strong feeling that the next time it comes up, it's going to get even harder by people getting off work. Then go down again.
I predict stability by 12 pacific lol.

It's easily one of their most inexplicable decisions to date. Up there with Meeting Stones from WoW.

Is that soup in that pan (possibly wok) on the stove?
I love soup.

The initial hammer attack that hits just in front of you does 200% while the shockwave that extends from it does 155%.
