Found a slight improvement of a weapon already (only 750 dmg though). No legendaries, but a TON more yellows than usual. I still can't do act 3 yet, but act 2 is pretty darn easy. I don't even need WotB on my bar for once, so it's fun to experiment with different skills now that they don't suck as much.

Diablo III |OT5| Finally out of Beta

From what I can tell from playing, all of the low level paragon levels are going to come steady, and quickly. I got to 3, and its only 11m to the next level so its nice that the ramp starts low so everyone can learn about it.
The paragon stuff fits so nicely with the increased drops from normal mobs. Now everyone WANTS to kill the trash. Never been in a 4 player game where everyone insisted on clearing every mini dungeon and rare pack+trash along the way until today. Very very fun.
Ive got 3 tabs and a full inventory of rares I didnt I.D. yet.

Yeah I also hit Paragon 3 before I stopped playing. Not taking too long for the earlier levels. You can tell it'll be an absolute craw at the higher levels though lol.
mehhh, could be worse.

The masses must be starting to pound the servers as I just got some huge lag spikes that made it unplayable.

Fucking Ghom
How to kill him as a WD?

Going to try it on my WD with Spiders and crit hit/dmg stuff. With mass spiders the chance to slow enemies could be good.
Yeah it was like that the whole time I played. Massive lag spiked. I was flopping between 60 and 300 latency, ridiculous.

Whinners should be happy now.
They can again count the gear progression by number of monsters killed per minute like in old cow level days

Opened the game for the first time after patching and was looking at the auction house, tried to search for Fire Walkers and the game crashed to desktop immediately. Don't think the game's ever crashed for me before
Managed to get to paragon level 2 before I had to go offline and do stuff (such as take a wonderful nap). Looking forward to doing some more stuff tonight. Did 3 runs but found pretty much crap all around. I hope my legendary streak isn't running out, I knew about 15 legendaries in the last 2 weeks before the patch wasn't a good thing!

Does anyone know the total number of legendaries in this game? Just curious, did a little googling and came up with nothing.

So they haven't changed MF switching yet? Thought that was gonna come with this patch.

So Kripparrian is testing some of the legendaries with procs and it is clear that even the ones with huge proc rates (like Thundergod's Vigor) have relatively long internal cooldowns. The shock pulse from Tgods is going off maybe every 2 seconds even when he's landing hundreds of hits on big packs of enemies with whirlwind and tornadoes. Same with the earth sundering effect on Cataclysm.
D3DB says 586 but I think that's counting both the old and the improved ones.

3 runs, 2 paragon levels, 0 good items. Maybe I got a different patch?
My Enchantress is happy though:
Meh.. At least I can do Act II with bottom tier equipment.
I have shitty gf and mf inky or I would have played with you I didn't get nuffein either but I made about 600k and got a great shoulder for 200k I got fucking lucky in the first group of random must have had mad MF I found like 60 rares in the first act 1 run. You should play with random sometimes you get a good team. the first was great and then shit.... Act 2 isn't that hard with a group but only got 10 rares going halfway through.... sticking to act 1 for now I like it more.
I had a Barb from here help me, but I have gone back and beat him solo as well. Barbarians cut him down easily and he is a complete joke for most barbs with solid gear. Basically I kited him around the room using darts and bears thrown in when mana was ok. At each corner you can stand in two spots before the gas overwhelms you, then you move to the next corner. By the time you get back to the first corner, the gas should be disappearing. Tank doctors with nice LoH and rain should still be able to kill him fairly easy, but I havent tested it personally with the new patch. With the VQ nerf, I think bear spam is out now.
I think Im switching from WD to Barb for good now after the changes. Barbs are just too good and while I think the WD changes are a nice start, Im still struggling with mana problems and tired of being frustrated with it.

He's just buying them off the AH. Some of the ones with procs are low level things that cost next to nothing. The Tgods is ilvl 63 and cost 50 million, but that was the only expensive one.
It wouldn't matter as GF/MF are nor averaged anymore I think. I don't play with others often not because I don't like it, but because I'm always multitasking, and sometimes I leave a game on pause for half an hour or more while I do some other stuff. I mean, I have D3 running with a 5 stack right now, and I'm on my phone in another room
That's the reason I can't bring myself to finish something like Demon's Souls, I'm terrible at playing something for more than 20 minutes straight.I think I'm going to try and maximize my MF again and run Act I as fast as i can. I need to try some of the new legendaries, and they used to drop like candy there for me.
I'm sure he bought them, he has like half the GDP of Rwanda.
Anyone else notice health potions dropping way more?

Nope, and the excuse they gave was kinda lame.
What? They added Paragon and capped it at 300. I'd say that's doing something.
Oh sorry, misread the switching part.
