If only I could change my skillsets without losing my stacks. D:
Random loot is random. I'm not saying you have to like it, but if you don't like it, you certainly couldn't have liked Diablo 2, where level 1 cracked sashes dropped all the way through to Hell Baal.
Yes. I'm currently running around with Shadow Power + Gloom and no SS in Act III; I can't decide if it's better or worse yet.
On a separate note as a Demon Hunter, I agree with the Smoke Screen nerf. It was absolutely mandatory to progress through Inferno; any other skill choice was a dramatically poor one. It was the reason DHs were pushing through inferno so much faster than many other classes.
Sometimes, buffing bad abilities is the right choice; sometimes nerfing too good abilities is the right choice. It depends on context. In this case, it wasn't a single ability that was too weak to keep up with the rest, it was a single ability that was so good it made all others obsolete, and that was rapidly trivializing end game content in a game that will never get more end game content than it already has, to boot.
I'd like to be able to hide the UI, aside from the map.
Not that I know of.
Don't try to get hits in on him when he starts summoning the green meteors en masse. Just concentrate on dodging the moment he sticks his arms into the ground, resume attacking when that's over.

Oh, cool, what's that?
Hmm
LOLOLOLOL I'm not even going to bother. It will sit unidentified in my inventory until the servers are taken down just to remind others of how shitty fucking Blizzard is. After 100 hours this right here should be my "Oh, holy shit" moment in the game, my first legendary item, but instead it is the fucking lowest point in the game.

Good to see the AH working as well as ever: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/status

No, I was using Force Armor, like the guy you quoted. http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aRXQlO!dfY!cbaYbY that is the exact build I used for phase one, switching out Blizzard for Force Weapon in the second phase.
That said, Rakanoth is an asshole. Keeps one shotting me with his stupid teleport strike. Stacking up hp to 50k and 60% dmg reduction and I still can't take the hit. Had this been pre Force Armor nerf I'd have taken him down first try.First proper wall I've hit, think I need to backtrack a bit and farm up for... something. What's the best place to farm in Inferno? Butcher rarely drops anything good, even with 5 Neph buffs, as the act 1 loot is more often than not 51-59 leveled items, but I can't think of any good spot to farm in act 2 or act 3, as everything is just too hard and tedious.
oh man. No Arcane Orb is hard for me, but something I always wondered about sacrificing temporarily. I never had the guts to try it because the aoe damage felt so necessary.
$175k-$225k, easy.First rare drop on Inferno farming. Wish it had Dex!

My DH simply cannot deal with any Inferno elite/champ mobs. Back to Hell.
Started an HC DH for fun...So far, so good. Definitely crazy knowing that ANY slips could be your death!

Im starting to enjoy the gear game from nightmare. normal mode was just whatever gave you the most damage, now I'm trying to balance survivability, and the group enchanted mobs are starting to get challenging. And im constantly switching up my Monk abilities to try and find a balance between survivability and looking like a complete badass. Part of me doesn't think seven sided strike does enough damage, but another part of me realises its a brief invulverability and it looks amazing.

I think some of these mobs you are just supposed to avoid altogether.

Easy half mil at least (last I checked). That is some high crit damage and stun is nice.
man if that had a socket on it...
Agreed. Maybe 1 million if you're lucky.

could be, I didn't look it up. but from what I've seen, people aren't offering all that much for weapons below 1000 dps, regardless of the nice stats. that 200 vit is ballin, though.
hell naw.
Yep, I love when people are defending broken mechanics. Those are like 80% of drops and inferior quality grey weapons drops with higher dps then that!.
No, its not ok to drop weapons on highest difficulties that could drop in Nightmare, especially not commonly.
There shouldnt even be any items with level requirements below 60.
And nothing below 600 dps is useful on Inferno [and thats only for act 1], so i dont mind 400 dps drops, at least they are something You should expect, but 150?
---
Completely meaningless change for default mode, but can be useful for HC.
people want a sequel to diablo 2 though! need those loot mechanics!
also, fast ways to get a character to 60? I know some people getting to 60 in under 12 hours. D:

Having a rough time in Nightmare Act III with my WD.
(I've got 9039 HP.)
Do my stats suck or am I just bad at WD?

So can anyone tell me what's so special about Smoke Screen? I'm running Slow trap, Vault, Prep, and Mark of Death. Main attacks are Bola and Elemental. I find vault to be really damn useful and prep is really needed most of the time, can't live without the slow trap. That leaves Mark to be dropped for SS but it costs so much to use and lasts so little I just don't see the point. Am I missing something?
I did Inferno Belial with 22k dps, 30k hp, and 350-400 resist all. It is definitely doable. Just need the right skills/passives.
You take no damage at all while using SS. Also breaks CC which is amazing against jailer packs.

Turn elective mode back on once you've chosen your skills. Presto.

Yup, like me for example. Still on Act 2. :-( I wish I could play more but irl is making it neigh impossible. At least I can still go into this thread every once and a while without being afraid of the story being spoiled. A big thank you to everyone out there using tags. It's much appreciated.

God I hate this. I am always pulling skills off the bar by accident. Usually it is the skill I need to survive the fight against the elite mobs
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
im having trouble on normal mode with diablo.
this does not bode well for me for the rest of the game. i dont think i can kill diablo without some major leveling and/or help

Where am I supposed to find my guest passes? I bought a CE and I've found everything, including guest passes to WoW trial account (yeah, pretty damn useful....) and D2+LoD but I swear I don't know where the guest passes to D3 are supposed to be... And I sure could use one now for one of my buddies, damn...
Also, just in case I'm screwed and my CE didn't come with a guest pass, any gaffer would be so kind as to share one with me?

Your stats aren't great. I just beat Skeleton King on Nightmare for the first time with 1350 damage and about 1500 armour at level 34 with my WD. Try hitting up the auction house for int primarily and vit secondary.

Diablo 3 - Inferno. I prefer to take my kites to town. How about you?
I'm a traditional kite'ess. I go in circles.
1 mil to 2k and dropping daily.
Breaks root. Drop Mark of Death to not die to bullshit. More escape/slow/stun all you need.
Welcome.Just got to Act II Inferno without much of a problem. I thought hey these guys whining about Act II didn't have the right gear it'll be easier for me since I have at least 700 resist all. yeahh that didn't last long.

Someone earlier suggested to set the 1,2,3,4 hotkeys to a,s,d,f. Works like a charm for me. Haven't clicked once, and I was a clicker when playing WoW.
Oh I see. Do people generally use either SS or Vault or do they use both? Both seem like you would kill your Disc pool really fast.
I'm about to roll an alt given servers will no doubt be down tonight. I have a WD and I'm looking for a class that will be heaps of fun with a bit more survivability. Don't want to roll a boring class where the skills are more functional than amazingly impressive. DH, Barb or monk? I'm leaning barb but haven't seen any of their play style yet.
Thoughts?
