How is that possible? It restricts you from putting utility skills on your M1 button (even in Elective Mode) so you can't mess it up in that sense.

Having a blast but I do have a couple questions and issues.
1) Does your follower have any negatives, like does he absorb some of your exp?
2) Are there secret doors? I've found things like levers that open doors but are there any truly secret doors I should be searching for?
3) When I beat the story on Normal and unlock hard difficulty can my new characters start at that difficulty or will they just get destroyed?
4) Sometime on logging in my character doesn't show in-game. I can run around, collect loot ect but i can't see him. Teleporting around will sometimes fix this other times I have to shutdown and reboot several times. Any ideas or just early bugs.

Level 55. My dad called me earlier today said he found a collectors edition and bought it for me.
So happy.
I have a suggestion

Yup.
I'm 38 and I've gotten 4 legendary drops so far. All of them have been ass.

Do the bolas stack on a single target?

1. Nope
2. Not that I have found but who knows?!
3. You are meant to take your character through progressively higher difficulties. The only reason to start over is to try out another class or to try Hardcore mode
4. No idea, sorry
Yeah, vanishing dye

The banter between you, guests and followers are awesome. Esp. w/ the scoundrel. I've taken it up to myself to finish the first run solo so I don't miss much of it.
chances are the mlvl of the monsters isn't sufficient enough for the needed ilvl of equipment you want

Do you get better loot for playing on Hardcore?
I'm sure you get the same exp. The monsters get harder, so I'm sure it all scales.

You can buy the invisible dye at a vendor. It turns your gear "invisible" so you can see you face or body

I've just finished Act 1 with my Demon Hunter (took me 5 and a half hours :/)
How are my stats? Is my character underpowered or just right?

1 - ir it is like DII than, no. Actually he even helps if they have MF gear adding to your magic find.
2 - I guess not. There is a secret stage though, like the cow level but more colorfull.
3 - he will be destroyed.
4- online only DRM bliss
Bolas do suck as a primary skill, but by using elective mode and selecting them as a secondary attack, they are awesome for groups of enemies.
But I'm only level 15 so I don't know much about the higher level skills.

What he said; you can't take a new toon to Nightmare. I misread your question.
I don't know how useful this Barbarian build really is, but I've been using it in Nightmare, particularly in groups: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#aeXYkg!bYX!aaaZbb
It's essentially a hyper control build. Loads of tankiness and regen, but you also get super stuns. You build up fury with every ability and unload it on Seismic Shock stuns. On single target mobs, I can pretty much just stunlock forever. This works on stun immune bosses as well, and when fury generation is high enough I can essentially keep a boss (like the one at the end of the bridge in Act III), stunlocked for the entire fight. It's pretty fun.

probably taking 5 hours per act because your dps is so low.
Im sure using entagling shot and the skill that make you deal 15% more damage to slowed can be combined well with something like multishot
I don't think they do..but they look awesome so I will swap them out over my cold dead corps

My wiz just found this, pretty ridiculous boost in dps
I'll take that for my WD, thanks.

So far, I've really only found grenades useful when clearing out "swarming critter mobs that come out of nowhere in tight spaces" like spiderlings. They're actually preferably there as you won't be hitting these guys from a distance and they provide a nice AOE attack.
That Passive skill is effectively a must for any Entangling Shot build. I really wouldn't bother with it, otherwise.
I'm going to be torn developing any DH build that doesn't feature Hungering Shot, Rapid Fire, Vault and Preparation in some form or fashion.

The AH is convenient and much faster (when it's not broken), but it removes some of the social aspect of trading. I always used the trade channels and trading games and I enjoyed the process of asking random people to trade, throwing out everything I had available, looking at what he had and then negotiating the trade.
Actually I'm qutie sad the best thing I've found for nightmare mode is... hungering arrow and impale. ...the first two default skills. So lame.
So many other attacks take too much hatred, or do something stupid. Doesn't seem like they tried to make the attacks very different. Not sure if it's just Demon Hunger... or that's how people feel about all the classes.

And a bonus of playing the monk is that he is as cool as Chuck Norris

Sweet!
That's how I felt about the DH when I did a run in the open beta. Too many minor variations on "shoot arrow" across the entire skillset, seemed like the least interesting class.
I would like to know this also.
Every night my 3 friends and I go at it. Seeing everyone fight and having all these attacks and skills go off is fucking amazing. It's always a light show. I don't know if I can go back to playing solo. Having our own loot and giving it to someone who needs it is awesome. We each play a different character.
According to the guide, there is no +XP when grouping with people.
If you visit a different game (or quest) then your checkpoints will reset to one of the larger checkpoints inside the quest.
The item swapping is probably the best part. I've gotten so many items from friends and they from me. Keeps us sharp.
On my alt Wizard I find I'm leveling faster solo than with a group. It's just harder in the item department since there is zero swapping.

I used the startling primary and secondary on my Monk all through Normal. Fists of Thunder with the teleport rune is just so damn useful. And the roundhouse kick was always a must in case I got surrounded and overwhelmed. Knicks everything back so I can reposition.
So how do I know when that is the case? Is a savepoint at the beginning of a new dungeon a "larger checkpoint"?

I beat it! 
Gonna try this when I get home.
No way in hell I'm going to lock it up at 30 FPS when my PC is perfectly capable of destroying this game. Blizzard should fix it already.

I am playing a barbarian in a duo with a monk friend in NM act 2 and he is consistently much more survivable than me. A lot of it seems to be the ~50% dodge that he has from his dexterity as well as the big heals which are still effective at this point. I've heard that the heals become much less effective late game because they don't scale well, but at this point it's about a 50% heal or more.
In fairness I haven't been building towards tankiness as much as I could, but it seems like he doesn't have to make that kind of decision. I kind of wish I had gone the monk route. His attacks look cooler and he seems to be generally more effective without having to play in a really gimmicky way.

This game... sigh, it's.............glorious. I'm kind of at a loss for words, it's just SO great and I know I'll be playing it for years. Started Act III and am loving every second with my fem baba.
I wonder how long till the masses become savvy to this. Till then I'm stocking up!
Same thing with the mats (at least for normal diff). They're like 25-30 gold each for subtle essence and fallen tooth.

That's not necessarily indicative of more XP one way or the other. Could be due to a couple of factors - the most of which I would attribute to less HP monsters = killing faster.
