Hey DiabloGAF, i just picked the game up and i am stuck between 3 class choices:
Demon Hunter
Barbarian
Monk
I want a character that is fun to play, easy to level and with a good dps (doesn't need to be top).
Edit: I will be playing with a WD if that matters.

I've been playing the Monk and it is a bucketload of fun, but it only opens up once you hit the mid- to late-twenties. Barbarian is apparently the top DPS class out there.

Fuck on act iv on normal. Trying to beat diablo and I've died about 8x. I've been Breezing through the game until this point and I just can't beat him.
I've added life on hit to my weapon over damage. I'm using the energy armour and the frozen skin thing with my wizard. I use the frozen shard power to slow him down. I get to the third part of the battle and I know what I have to do but he keeps getting me.
I'm on level 32 now.. What's some advice for the best way forward?

Go nuts, and be pretty much invincible later on.
What build are you using, and what difficulty? There's only a difference in experience and MF starting at Master 1. Medium and Hard are just for the extra "challenge" (seems like an oversight). For me, as a Wizard the most difficult part was in the shadow realm or whatever it's called.

To do that, instead of continue I go to quest, choose the last one on the list and drop the difficulty? Will that affect anything in terms of achievements or drops with me finishing the game?

Doesn't seem like there's any differences at all from what I've noticed. Aside from some the adjustments to crafting and the ridiculous increase in legendary drop rates. Story wise it's identical.
What about the boss encounters? The Belial fight for example looks like the camera's from a different perspective.
Yea the Belial fight has a completely different perspective which looks awesome honestly, but the mechanics are roughly the same. Certain fights have adds now. Belial is one, the Seige beast near the end of A3 has adds now also.

Cheers. That did it. Finished my first playthrough and got a nice legendary sword at the end of it all. On to nightmare now, not sure to keep it on normal or move to mp1 though..

The camera in general is at a completely different perspective on the console comapred to the PC. As far as the Blelial fight itself? It's just zoomed in too close, and I wouldn't say it's an improvement. That doesn't really have anything to do with the story or game mechanics though (except that in some cases it artificially inflates difficulty because of player blindness).
I did notice that Belial now has adds, but that could have also been implemented on PC at some point. I stopped playing six weeks after release, before all of the patches.

I feel like Belial casts less of those green circles during that part of the fight.
It's hard for me to compare the difficulty of the belial fight to the PC version. On both normal and nightmare (easy btw), I destroyed belial in under 15 secs for ps3. PC version, I have memories of pre nerf belial being the biggest SOB on the planet, I died so often it was crazy. Had to spec completely for invulnerability frames, serenity and SSS during green puddle phase. Curious to see how he is now on Master levels on inferno.

No but it's truly not an issue, happens fairly infrequently (on PS3) for me. Then again I'm fucking blind to this kind of thing. It would have to be really offensive for me to get up in arms.
He's the only boss that still makes me nervous in HC on PC. I have PTSD I think from launch period. I can't dodge his attacks if my life depended on it.
Sanctuary

Possibly. They did seem to be a hell of a lot easier to avoid. Overall though, I can't think of any other boss fight that had those kinds of adjustments. Although it's possible that Azmodan had his puddles of death adjusted too. I can't tell because he always dies too fast. The game in general just feels like easy-mode, and to get it to feel about like pre-nerf Inferno you have to play it on Master 5. Although wearing a mix of trash yellow and blue items might help too. Being decked in almost all legendary items just trivializes the game even more. That was kind of the "end game" on PC, but we are only a week and a day into release and Master 3 is trivial.
It's kind of funny too. Blizzard knew that they screwed up with Inferno and then they nerfed it and added Monster/Master Power. Yet the console version almost feels like an apology for the other problems, yet it's sometimes way too easy. The game would have been better with a middle-ground between the two versions, but I'd still take this version over pre loot 2.0 PC. Nothing ever drops, so you're forced to use the AH, or farm fifty times longer than any sane person would. Yet using the AH defeats the entire point of bothering with the game in the first place.
Hmm, I wasn't aware of the PC nerf, although I'm not surprised. That fight really was the dumbest of them all for me too on PC.

I havn't played the PC version in awhile but I think the siegebreaker boss is different as well? I don't remember those giant worms clinging to the wall popping in and spawning minions during the fight on PC vs console.
Yeah and every hit was basically a 1 shot way back when. I do like the dodge roll thing for getting out of it, makes it pretty cool.
Sanctuary
Member
Me neither, but you can mostly ignore them anyway. I thought it was just something that was added to the PC version too.

I asked this a while back, but is there a big list of differences from the PC version?
I'd like to know just how many moves changed, or how mobs/bosses are different.

The game is slightly streamlined in general. The inventory was completely overhauled and uses slots instead of spaces, so you don't manually move items around anymore.
Some quests were simplified so you don't need to find as many items to complete them.
Skill descriptions, by and large, no longer show specific values anymore. They just say "based on weapon damage" instead of "for xyz damage."

You can (and should) change this in the options menu. It's called something like "display advanced tooltips."

I think I got a BIS (best in slot) belt for my Barb.
It's unfortunate but I tried playing other classes (60 DH, WD, Monk) but they all feel inferior to whirlwind barbs for efficiency. Barbs are way too good atm compared to the other classes, and knowing it was jay wilson's class makes me Sigh.

I think Blizz overlooked Legendary plans. While all legendaries can scale from 1-60, the plans are level specific still on console and are 100% useless. I hope Blizzard realizes that and makes legendary plans scale to 60 like all legendary drops do.
Need help: I found a legendary blacksmith plan. I clicked on it in my bag and it disappeared. I assumed that blacksmith could now create the item. I cannot find the item to create it in the blacksmith menus anywhere. Do I need to level the blacksmith up to a certain level for it to show up? How do I create the new item that my blacksmith learned?

Yeah, the Blacksmith has to be a certain level. The item description of the plan told you which one.
OK. Thank you!

I've got a level 28 Barbarian that is awesome. Very hack n' slash, action-oriented game play.
Then I started the Demon Hunter for a "solo play" character because I only use my Barbarian in co-op and after a little while I found the Demon Hunter to be relatively boring and not very engaging.
So then I went over to the Monk and...YES! It's not unlike the Barbarian in that it's very action-heavy...but it's varied and different and it's a LOT of fun to play (female Monk voice sucks, though).
Ack, not good. At least there's some chance of them fixing it now that they're more pro-crafting
What build are you running WW with out of curiosity? Still levelling at the moment, but I haven't really tried WW at all before.

I love it personally. Smexy. Female monk is my main for that reason. Also roll the female WD for the same reason.

I thought the female Demon Hunter's voice was damn sexy...heck, the whole damn character is. It's just too bad it's boring as shit to play as for the first 10 levels (I'm sure it would get better the more you play it, but I'm far from patient right now with GTA on the horizon).

Those are really nice belts, but I think this is probably the best in slot for a Barbarian:

Gives you something to look forward to.
Agreed. I feel at times the droprate is too much, but who am I kidding? I want to see all of the cool shit that was denied to me on the PC version.
Dunno what they are playing, but this is one of the most powerful, and more popular WW builds (lvl 60 though):

Depends on how they changed that for the console version. That Pride of Cassius totally shits on even an ideal roll of an IK's belt on PC. In theory the IK belt will beat it in terms of defensive properties (AR/set bonus and LS), but that Cassius has a goddamn quadfecta, melee reduction AND movement speed. The Cassius specifically has been tossed around by item theorists forever as a potential BiS once they implement the level scaling for Legendaries. On a related note, I'm really curious what kind of rolls the Witching Hour has now.
Edit: Damn, I feel like I'm the only DH in the world in Inferno, but still no Nat items, I want to see what they're like now. I keep getting Inquisitors -_-

Its so awkward going into pub rooms on 360 and having someone beg on voice chat to boost his character. -_-
The Pride of Cassius is the ultimate "farming" belt once your DPS is so high that you don't even need that much EHP because you are killing MP10 mobs before they kill you.
I mean quadfecta with god damn movement speed on a BELT?? Fucking ridiculous and what's more ridiculous is that it's a class exclusive item. If it wasn't class exclusive every class would be using it.

Yes, the dance is easy on console in comparison.
