Ah that's how DHs are getting such a high DPS on that screen. I was wondering, I thought I was doing good at 30k but seeing 70k made me go .

What's the dps on your weapon?

843.6, gemmed with +60crit damage

Sharpshooter-thingy shouldn't add to the dps in the menu screen.

It does, it'll snapshot whatever it is as you leave game, as sharpshooter stacks.

 

[Mechanized]

Goddamn the endgame gear in this is badass. Gonna try to finish NM on my Barb tonight.

 

[JesseZao]

What would my first low level legendary sale for?

Wow those are bad. Why are they called frostburn if there is no slow effect or frost dmg mod on them? :/

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Great read on the development of diablo 1 and 2, back in 2000

Did Blizzard nerf the Azmodan run? I haven't been following the forums as much.

I think so, I was doing it and I don't get any exp for

Spoiler

leah

, also the quest itself give less exp.

 

[Ferrio]

843.6, gemmed with +60crit damage

So pretty much exactly what I got. Wish mine didn't have that shitty bleed over time stat though.

Because they "Drain the warmth from anything they touch"

 

[Realyn]

anyone have a good DH and WD stream? I want to see how they play before deciding which one to try.

I can fire up my stream if you want to. At the end of Act I Hell.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Why do so few barbs run without Call of the Ancients? I love it. CC + DMG. The cool downs suck but if you time it correctly, it'll almost always save your ass. Granted I'm still only in Nightmare, but besides the cd, I don't see the drawbacks.

I use that skill, love it. It's costly though to waste a slot on a skill with a cooldown like that, so I can see why many people choose to go without, but it's basically a "I-win"-button when facing elites. They do ridiculous amounts of damage and take all aggro.

Logged in this morning to find my gear and stash completely cleared out. I really doubt the restoration point will be lenient. Kind of just feel like never playing again.

I'm having AH withdrawals. I need it in me.

This is why authenticators are so important. This does happen guys. It happens all the time.

I know your pain. My D2 account was cleaned out back in the day.

 

[Won]

Another Legendary. These Halls of Agony are crazy. Leoric was onto something there.

 

[Forsaken82]

Meh, i hope someone does steal my shit... give me even more reason to play through again!

Sure you didn't somehow get placed in the wrong region? Couple people have had that happen.

NA or EU?

If that's the case I'll be happy to take it off your hands

Check PM.

Dude is farming act 4 inferno minibosses with a really high DPS (120k+) DH build. He actually 1 shots them by stacking up a bunch of traps before starting the fights.

Now for realsies, this one looks like bullshit.

Depends what gear we are talking about. if starting 60 gear im pretty sure your friends can fix you up some act 3 hell farming gear run that 2 times and get a weapon and start rebuilding. Or if we are talking about 4~12 mill a piece armor stuff then yeah i would ask for a restore point atleast if they have one where all your gear is present.

 

[dimb]

Not possible. My character is still there, I just have nothing.

NA.

 

[snack]

Best act to farm? I wanna get to 60 fasttt!

 

[gate777]

I've only played around 5 hours since launch, currently at level 12. I'll play the shit out of it after work today and farm for equipment/gold to level up my blacksmith and create stronger gear.

 

[SDBurton]

NA.

Ah I see. Were you playing in public games?

It's the crit damage probably. Each one of the traps will do massive crit damage with the sharpshooter skill enabled and a bunch of +crit damage gear.

 

[Gila]

Whee. Slowly making progress through act 2 Inferno with 2-3 others, but man, some of those elite packs can just go fuck right off. Especially reflect damage.

(and ok fine, without Sharpshooter hax it's only 34445.47 =P)

What's your health?

 

[aristotle]

Absolutely, I feel that in a couple of patches to fix some of the issues and by the time of the first expansion it will be even better because I didn't feel Diablo 2 didn't get there until LOD and later patches.

My thoughts exactly. I got in D2 right before LoD. LoD made D2 a better game overall.

Oh and if you're hanging onto you legendaries and set loot hoping the "fix" (whatever Blizzard will/won't do) will not matter to your current loot. That's how it worked in D2 if I recall correctly. The loot item patches only affected loot that was dropped once that patch came out. All the old items were still crap. Sell it all now if you're waiting

Glad to see my love for CotA isn't a total loss. Right now in Nightmare it's very usable. I assume everything changes later on, but right now I love my backup.

 

[goober]

So where do I get this authenticator?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Found my first Legendary on act1 nightmare, from the templar boss (jondar or something).

Stupid monk fist weapon. :X

 

[Skellig Gra]

So where do I get this authenticator?

battle.net

 

[dimb]

Yeah, sometimes.

How much magic find does those two items give him before a boss kill?

 

[krameriffic]

It's the crit damage probably. Each one of the traps will do massive crit damage with the sharpshooter skill enabled and a bunch of +crit damage gear.

Yeah, he can't instagib them all, but his weapon actually isn't that good. There are bows with 300 more DPS out there.

 

[LordCanti]

Is 21% MF good for an amulet? It seems high, but I can't check without the AH. +150 STR on it as well, but no vita/resist unfortunately. Also got a 114 STR and 50 resist to all elements.

So where do I get this authenticator?

It's free if you have an Android/iPhone. This may be US only (I'm not sure).

 

[Zia]

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I did it!! Twenty-six hours. Wheeeee.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

This is awesome:

Hell even on WP7(I have one )

Im curious if you had an authenticator

 

[LordCanti]

It took me a minute to figure out what WP7 was. That's saying something.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

DreamsVisions was slain by a Writhing Deceiver!

I am shocked.

 

[sazzy]

My verdict:

Its a great game upto Nightmare.

After that it just becomes a caricature of itself. Hell and Inferno Elites aren't difficult - they are tacky and cheesy. Might as well make everything invincible and call it the most difficult game ever.

 

[dimb]

I didn't. And I know people in this thread will bite my in the ass and say "I told you so" and stuff but I don't like using them as a form of security. My WoW account has been safe for like seven and a half years without one now. WoW also has one time authentication of new log in locations though, and I'm not exactly sure why this isn't something carried over to D3.

 

[dragonelite]

Thats is so wrong. OS is still awesome but almost no app support from the bigger apps.

 

[Krauser Kat]

he just trolling those guys. Jesus, i used to love traps on my ninja in the D2 days

 

[blackflag]

It did carry over. It is exactly the same. If you log in from the same computer and IP address you only need to authenticate like once a week. If your computer or IP changes, you have to use auth again.

 

[SDBurton]

7k dps? wow, I guess the strategy is survival at all costs. With my 10k I already feel like it takes me ages to bring some Elites down (especially the ones with extra health) but I guess not dying makes more sense because then they just go back to full health anyway.

Thanks! I'm going to do some hell run at full stacks to see if I can buy a better shield.

For sure man. As you saw with DH's and others, they can only take a few hits.

Fortunately I've been running with CcrooK and his friends who put out some crazy damage, so all I have to do is be there to take the hits and heal them when posssible.

I got really lucky with the shield I just got, 1500 armor and was selling at 40k. Bought it in a heartbeat.

 

[Yoshichan]

I know it does. I'm saying it shouldn't.

 

[Sax Russel]

What's your health?

[Radec]

Is Kripp really doing that Naked - No Pots run ?

lol

 

[tjohn86]

AH is down? Noooo I wanted to check my auctions at lunch!

 

[dimb]

It did carry over. It is exactly the same. If you log in from the same computer and IP address you only need to authenticate like once a week. If your computer or IP changes, you have to use auth again.

Then where are all my items and gold? Did they get up and walk away while I wasn't looking? Did someone sneak into my house and log on to Diablo 3 from across the room while I was sleeping? Nobody has been in my e-mail to give access to a different location.

 

[FieryBalrog]

It is, if you're referring to logging in with an authenticator.

Mobile alerts will let you know as well.
