Fuck it, logged back to auction some yello witems and now im getting an error code :(

Monk skills are bit funny, I have loads but I stick to warp punch/Fire kick/blind

All the others dont seem to jell well, like multifist one is ok but you have to constantly chase mobs about rather than being able to warp all over the place with dash and thunder rune punch.

I'm approaching level 20, never used zombie dogs (didn't care for them in the beta), and I didn't start using spiders until I get the second rune (queen). WD has a lot of great skills, try fiddling around with a few. The class really kicks into gear in the 10-14 range, but it took me awhile to settle on skills and tactics I enjoy.

Will try. I just don't think Horrify is that great when I can just run around in circles with my pets. But my pets die a bunch (dogs)

I love both dogs AND spiders..

Wish I could.. Unfortunately they just feel a bit too weak. My Templar dude is pretty beast though and can tank well.

So just like D2? Or am I just misremembering the "X STR, Y DEX, Pump VIT, lol Energy" guidelines?

It's basically the same thing except changing skills isn't a hassle.

There were good reasons to pump specific stats in D2 for specific classes. So no it isn't really the same thing because you now don't have a choice of upping your stats.

Watching this now. Thanks for sharing.
 
Damn, done with work and UPS guy still ain't here. It's rare that I don't get deliveries prior to 4 PM but I guess he's got a lot on his plate today.
 
I am so happy that I didn't buy this. It's probably the best to wait for it to go to bomba price By that time Blizzard should have fixed most of the issues and maybe added the PvP/Arena aspect of the game which should have been a part of the game from the start imo.
 
lol man I'm glad I am working right now as even with the day off, I would stillbe screwed. At least I have DayZ to tide me over.

So I got a Witch Doctor to 10.. and I have a few notes and questions..

Zombie Dogs are hella weak :( They die in a few hits it feels like. Against the Skeleton King all 3 died in 1 hit. Hopefully they get better

Spiders are ugh.. Tossing bottles nonstop and them disappearing so fast leaves me to get swarmed. Wish they absorbed damage as well like pets or minions but enemies just ignore them and go straight for me. Hopefully these get better. Got the rune for Leaping Spiders but they are also just as bad :(

Just use splinters. At level 30 I'm still using them. Trying to get through the game without elective mode. Also acid cloud with the acid rain rune is going to be your main source of aoe damage. At the point I'm at now I just use soul drain to buff my damage and then acid cloud and spam fire bat and splintered poison dart when I don't have mana. Zombie dogs are either terrible or pretty beefy, depending on the types of enemies you're facing.

I guess? The art book is nice but the Diablo skull is something I'd never keep out. It's enough to have all those big Blizzard boxes tucked on a shelf underneath my film collection when company comes over.

That's why you stop buying CE editions. They're full of worthless stuff.
 
I swear to the Gods, next time I'm getting online - I'll never leave the game. Fuck off Blizzard, you're not forcing me to quit.
 
just saw this on diablo forum fucking LOL

Not really, honestly. D2 stat guidelines were targeted at equip requirements primarily. There were some other cutoffs (Block%) but, for the most part, you had an "X STR, Y DEX, Rest VIT" plan. You could do something different, yes, but I thought we're talking min/max.

But, really, it's personal taste I suppose. I like the system and some won't. Just the way it is, really :x

Crippling wave is nice, because best I can tell whenever the effect goes off it stuns the creeps.
 
I was having a blast last night playing the game. Played up until I beat the Skeleton King, sitting halfway to Level 9 with my Monk. I just got back from doing some grocery shopping and picked up the Diablo III guide for $20. I know most if not all of the info is online now but it actually is pretty well done and has been a nice read so far while the servers are down. Did anyone pick up the special edition of the guide book? Anything special that came with it?

Diablo? Bomba price? lol...Diablo II still gets at least 30 bucks after 12 years. Waiting for extra features is one thing, but you probably wont get the game for under 50 for a long...long time.


EDIT: So...my installer has been stuck at 77% for the last hour or so, saying 36.8MB remaining. Is this the install problem everyone was talking about earlier? Installing from disc.
 
ITSS TIMMEE

I love it.... finally someone gives us server guys some credit. That said if I let our stuff go down like this, yeah...
 
To be fair.. You can never anticipate all the issues for a launch with this many people. I'm sure Blizzard did everything they thought was necessary to facilitate this launch. Even implementing resolutions from previous mistakes. The answer isn't always as easy as "We have too many users, throw another server in the mix!"

Blizzard games tend to hold their value for a while, you might be waiting a year or so to play, while I am sure they will have the majority of the server issues worked out within a week.
 
Ahh finally, diablo 3 is released. Got my new keyboard with red blacklit keys and my diablo 3 mouse. Ready to go, launched the game and...........FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
