I'm leveling up the Blacksmith as fast as possible, but NOT for the gear he can make me. I want the Anvil Banner Sigil you get for maxing out the smith. I really, really want my banner to have a big anvil on it.
Yeah, I'm insane, but hey I play the way I want to. LOL!
You get the experience the mobs give you. Obviously a lower level character can lvl up this way faster.

I partied with my friends to get through Act 2 and 3. They were ~10 levels higher than me. I was getting what felt like normal XP, they said they felt like they were getting little to no XP until later on. I THINK it's only the higher level players that are penalized.
Can someone give me some info on the hidden MF buff associated with not changing skills?

474, exact dps is 627.61...it was something like 270ish midway through Act 3 b/c I had no idea weapon dmg and +dmg were so critical.
It's called Nephalem Valor. It doesn't kick in until level 60.
Here's a nice summary:

Is it just me, or
does Diablo's character design seem a bit more on the feminine side than the previous games? I mean, he used to be a chunky like King Koopa, but with muscular chest.

explain how to do this.
I can't slide to set my skills like he does.

What is every picking as their skills for Witch Doctor?
I have:
Horrify
Acid Rain
Firebomb
Giant zombie guy
Poison Dart
Slow down AoE
Right now I have my Gargantuan tanking stuff as well as a templar so I can sit back and put down acid rain or firebomb and then poison dart if they get close. But I feel as if I am missing.... something. Can't quite figure it out.

My god, act 2 boss on hell is just fucking ridiculous. I have over 20k hp and a certain attack that is really fucking hard to avoid just one shots me. Fuck that shit...
paging yoshi to tell me how this would be harder if I was in a 4 man party, where the other team members that survive could just res and let the fight go on.

Yeah the +dmg buffs have a big effect. You can easily see the difference after you actually equip those items, but I imagine many players ignore them because "+3-5 damage" doesn't seem particularly substantial on its face.
They probably could have been a bit more transparent with that sort of thing.
Yeah, it's quite the clever way to encourage players to stick with a specific build at level 60 when everything is unlocked.
he explains it right there. Turn on elective mode.

They did a fairly bad job of explaining dps and how to increase it huh? judging by all these posts anyway!
Exploding Frogs
Dire Bats
Spirit Walk (3 seconds)
Soul Harvest (with life leech)
Haunt (with life steel)
Gargantuan (with cleave)
Spirit walk + soul harvest to safely get 5 stacks, effectively doubling my DPS. Use dire bats for long range and frogs for short range. Haunt for champions and bosses. Guargantuan is just overall really useful in taking some of the heat off me...can't really give him up.
As for passives, I'm using the 20% damage reduction, and bloog magic (extremely useful passive...gets better as you level up and get more health).
I'm maybe an hour or two into Act 3 Normal...level 27. My frogs hit for 400-600 damage, and my bats hit for about 800-1000 damage. Blood Magic, life leech Haunt, Soul Harvest, and Spirit Walk means I'm extremely survivable as well.

So I had a funny dream last night. Here's what happened.....I'm laying in bed looking at this package I received from amazon, its rather big. I'm like wtf, I dont remember ordering anything. I open the box and its Diablo 3 Collectors Edition. I say to myself what the hell, why did I order this? I don't even know how to play Diablo 3 let alone know if it will even run on my computer. At this point I'm starting to get pissed off at myself that I spent $100 on this, but instead of returning it I decide to open it. The box looked like about 2.5 pizza boxes stacked on each other, but really nice. I open it and I find the most random/disappointing stuff ever. 2 teddy bears, 1 bright blue with a skyrim logo on its chest, the other was red and pink, 2 bags of jelly beans, and then the regular version of Diablo 3. Then I woke up.
Enable Elective mode in your options.
I see.. I guess I'm just so use to Poison Dart, Ill try out the frogs. My build seems off. Like I have too much AoE with Acid Rain and Firebomb, since Acid Rain is ridiculous, but putting another close range in the slot makes me feel like I have too much.

Soul harvest is my tricky spell, as I can't ever seem to get into the mobs to fire it off before my friends leave a greasy stain of murder behind. Are my friends bad people? Is this the problem?
I don't know what my DPS looks like, as I'm at work, but I'll see if I can't bring it up.
oh =|, yeah it says so in the first seconds. I missed that.

Im sure pepole has mentioned here before, but man buying stuff in the AH is just broken lol.
Im buying great gear for my lvl for like 200-300 gold xD
Its making my game a lot easier.
Im lvl 16 and I already have like 128 DPS lol.
But Im sure that wont matter come Inferno.
PS - Also, Im taking my sweet time with the game. Checking every nook and cranny. Still in Act I Normal

Poison Dart + Acid Rain makes sense if you're using the passive that decreases enemy damage by 20% when they're poisoned, but otherwise I feel Exploding Frogs or Firebombs + Dire Bats are far more potent, at least in Normal.

Use Soul Walk to quickly run into a group and Soul Harvest safely.

@echoshifting Thank you for that! 
For a monk, around what should my level and dps be at the start of Act 3? I'm 25 with 112 dps. Having no issues killing anything quickly, just wondering around what I should be at. (I may be a level or two higher than most people at that point, I'm one of those people that explores every inch of the map, so that adds to my xp quite a bit)
Drops and crafting. I'm not a twink so I'll never use the auction house, though I'll trade with friends to complete set items.

I fucking love dreams. haha.
I'm quite tempted to buy the CE myself. Are they still available?

Once you get Spirit Walk at level 16 you get a nice boost to running speed so it'll be much easier to get yourself into groups (or escape from them). Also bind the "Move" key (which is unbound by default) to something like the middle mouse button - it allows you to move around without targeting anything, so it's very useful for squeezing your way into groups for Soul Harvest.
Normal is fairly easy for the most part so it isn't a surprise your group is cutting through them like butter.
I use something comparable to this, with the difference that I use the effect lengtening rune for the Soul Harvest spell (since I use it to start a fight where I'm mostly always full hp) and I use Grasp of the Dead with the 80% slow since I level with groups a lot. Also I still use poison darts [splinters] because 180% weapon damage for a 'free' attack is just too good. Also you don't wanna get close to some mobs in NM mode.

Yeah man. The AH is crazy now. Personally I love it. I'm so decked out now that I didn't even get close to dying in act 2, and didn't even break a sweat for the act 2 boss.
I understand that to a lot of people that isn't fun - but to me the meta gaming of the AH is the closest thing to the anarchy of the early days of D2. Also since I love selling stuff all yellows that drop are exciting to me just in hopes that it fits one of the five demographics.
I've got about 60+% MF on my barb (just lvl 26) and I see blues with almost every group and a rare every five to 10 minutes or so. Popped a chest with a luck shrine activated last night that puked out 5 blues and 2 yellows. Huge fan. Keeps me flush.
Nice the AH become crazy ! 20k for that, I still don't understand...
Everyone is leveling ! Magic and gold find maybe near lv60 when you have enough dps/survivability.
