Since today's EU maintenance I seem to always get Error 37 the first time I try to log on, and "Authenticating credentials..." takes a lot longer than it used to.
I thought that was the official control panel, I overlooked Inspector. But if Dark3D is safe, aight.
You can force MSAA with AMD cards, but you have to download random shit though

Have tested it and works great, running my game with 4xAA adaptive, in game AA off. Looks much sharper and better.

Authenticated and hacked while playing? Your fault.
Alternatively, disable in-game AA and enable NVIDIA MSAA, removing the blur and the jaggies:
8xQ is the best possible setting in my experience (CSAA eliminates some lighting effects, Supersampling glitches out), but if you need to save performance just dial down the factor.
Yes, though with Dark D3 you can also use a slight color correction. I now many got used to the way D3 looks but yeah, if you use DarkD3 for a time you know how much better and "more Diablo" the game can look. I don't care what Blizz intended. In my book, all they tried was catering to the WoW crowd as well and I don't see the whole "artsy painting" blahblah. It's just a blurry soup of colors in it's vanilla state.
And if Blizz integrated something like Dark D3 in the options, EVERYONE would use it. Except Yoshichan who really loves how D3 looks. ;D :3

Well, yesterday sucked for playing. Literally down all day yesterday. Sure I got to play an hour or so, but servers were basically fucked. I guess on patch day that is to be expected.

This is stunning! It's like having your eyes cleared of blurriness, or putting your glasses on!
For those unaware (like I was), the instructions here are spot on, and it's a 30sec procedure. Grab the program (Radit4.0) from here:

Brilliant! D3 is a damn sight nicer to look out, vaso free!

I was hit last week. My authenticator should be showing up today. Now I too can join the judgmental elite.
It is, isn't it. Though there will always be people who will defend the vaso look as "artsy" without the understanding how FXAA works and why Blizz chose FXAA...
How is IAS factored in?
Say I'm dual wielding hand crossbows with 15% IAS on each (default 1.6 APS). That means they each do 1.84 APS, with 15% bonus to attack speed due to dual wielding, that should be 1.84 * 1.15 = 2.116 APS, right?
If I have, say 2 rings, an amulet, and gloves with 15% IAS each, is it then 2.116*1.15^4 = ~3.7?
Or do I have it completely wrong?

Any idea on price GAF? Comparables are few and far between.
Look for what is bid on and what is sold to get a better price.

It loses points for not having +IAS, but it's a good Monk/DH ring otherwise. Who knows how much it's worth though. If it had +IAS, millions. Without though? Eh.
I'm in the same boat with some of the items I'm trying to sell. Great except for the lack of IAS.

Made it to Act IV Inferno with my DH Solo. I pretty much went all crit dmg and rely on all speed to not get killed (with SS of course). I get why people like piercing arrow for the primary slot but I simply love Evasive Fire with the 3 bolt shot, also Rain Of Vengeance with the Stampede Rune has saved my ass so many times because of the knock back it does to enemies that it's not even funny.

anyone have any not so conventional DH builds? I like trying the funky stuff.

When I open up my CCC it doesn't look anything like the options available to me! I don't have drop-down for the AA Mode part.
Any workarounds and such?
If it's like the mobile authenticator you have a restore code that you can use if you have any issues (I think you're given this when you attach it to the account).

My god yes, not even to Hell yet but I love this as my primary. I can't imagine going back to Hungering or Bola
What is IAS?
Increased attack speed.
Okay, but not great. If armor is roughly 10x that of resists (5000 armor vs. 500 resists), then 10 points of armor is worth roughly one resist. The main problem with the +armor stat is that it can't get very high, while the resist stat can.
Thanks!
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Thanks sir~

If that had IAS I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Good tanking ring for monks though.

My monk actually has 75% damage reduction from armor alone so it can get just as high as resists can if setup right. The ideal setup is still to spread it around though as every stat has diminishing returns at some point along the line.
So, after finding some decent drops my monk can now do act 1 inferno dank + blacksmiths wife runs alone.
Is it worth it to do this alone at 62% GF and 62% MF or should I keep doing it in public games? The issue with public games is that runs are often already half finished (dank already done etc.) I can also do 5 stack nephalem act 3 hell runs.
What do you guys find best for farming?

Grab that Radit4.0 program, follow the instructions from that point on and it'll take care of it all. At least, that's what I did. Those AACaps threw me for a minute or two, too!
I think it's additive; 1.6 * (1 + .15 + .15 + .15 + .15 + .15 + .15) ~= 3.04. I can't check for you right now but that sounds closer to right.
Don't forget you can get ~+12% on Boots (Boj Anglers), Bracers (Lacuni Prowlers), and a variety of Chests.
And with ~3.3k/330 Resists as a minimum for Inferno, that's about 14.3k minimum damage.
That damage jump from Hell to inferno is deliciously hilarious.
Deals 4.6k damage in Hell, deals 57k damage in Inferno. Wowza

To be fair they kinda train the new player into believing they are a wrecking machine that should be able to kill everything in their path.
If the fear of elite mobs was instilled in normal this wouldn't be an issue.
I'm not saying it's a big deal as is, it's just that I'm not surprised people don't consider just avoiding some enemies.
Much appreciated, thanks! I'll try it out in a sec.

Figures, have time to play and boom error 37.
The horrible server situation, people getting hacked even with an authenthicator... fuck you blizzard, fuck you.
