I chuckled at that Blessed Hammer section. Well done.

I hope it remains viable on lv70!
Desynch is still in there. I wont ever use fast movement skills. Searing Bond abuse FTW.
And no, no combat text, but I personally never missed that in the genre. D2 did not have it and I survived. It is an MMO feature, not an ARPG-one.
EDIT: Also, I shall be a stubborn person and play only Wizard till I see how good WD is when the Torment farming begins. Sorry, my Hounds.

It's not gonna be viable bro

Another day closer!
I've been trying to level up some characters to 60 in preparation for the expansion. I only had a Wizard before Loot 2.0 hit. My Demon Hunter hit 60 before the end of Act 3 because I could throw a ruby on a random weapon and multishot my way through Torment.
I'm going through with a monk now, though, and it's much slower - I'm level 42 halfway through Act 3. I don't feel like I do nearly as much damage and while I can take more hits I have to be right in the thick of things such that I end up taking a fair amount of damage. Expert seems like the experience-maximizing difficulty for me, which I find disappointing because I've got a massive damage bonus on my weapon from some tier of star ruby and I have radiant square diamonds in four or five armor slots. Is there some non-obvious best build for leveling monks that can tear through Torment using high-end gems?

Ehh I guess i'm just feeling grumpy about how Blizzard handles drop rate for legendaries. I've gotten so many that I can see patterns from myself and in the GAF clan that many junk legendaries are artificially raised to drop and they revealed that legendaries will increase over time so when said junk legendary like this just dropped for me, it just makes me wanna log off knowing I have to farm like another hour to get a high chance of said item dropping. Just wish it was completely evenly randomized rather than Blizzard controlled drop rate.
And yes I do play for loot, I farm normal/hard mode over T3 for paragon levels which I am capable of doing just to get loot. I want to try out some WD class drops but no luck so far other than 1 set ring (zunimassa set).

... there's no control about it aside from a safety net if you're unlucky. Which is awesome.
I've got two within the span of five minutes before, six in one hour and sometimes I have to wait out that invincible timer.
Well personally I didn't put hundreds of hours into vanilla D3 because I wanted to farm loot (since that aspect of the game was pretty meh). I am more excited for random dungeons/adventure mode then I am excited for any of the loot changes (except increased elemental damage, that shit was fucking needed really bad and I am still confused how it wasn't in the game at launch).
Really though the new set up doesn't really make it seem like you can actually "farm" for loot. With how the drops work right now you are entirely at the mercy of RNG which is totally shitty. I've been trying to get one more piece of my IK set for the past week but it's not like I have any control over what legendary items drop when they do drop. My one hope on that end is that the RoS crafting can get around that a bit, it seems interesting.
Yeah pretty much, the timer is entirely a safety net, legendary items are still bound by some sort of RNG. I mean quite literally this morning I killed an elite pack and got a legendary sword then went and opened a chest and got a legendary mace from it, about roughly one minute from each other.

This OT is one of the best OTs I've seen in a while. Now all I have to do is WAIT FOR THE PS4 VERSION.
It's going to be tough, I know.

Thanks guys, so much for the compliments! I had no fucking idea it was gonna bring such positive reactions :lol
Clearly, rushed OTs > well thought out OTs

DON'T YOU PUT THAT HAMMER HATE ON ME
GAF needs more of your mspaint skills
For gems and stuff? Gold. For some equipment, RMAH might be better then convert back to gold but time is kind of running out for that..

Monk was easiest for me. I was one shotting enemies with his sprint skill. Fastest playthroughs ever.
I am thinking of actually resetting all my quests and going through the campaign over and over for legendaries on normal to plow through.
Loving the changes they made with the game, the story is still shit but you know. It's made me decide to get the CE for the expansion despite questioning how much content there really is.
But I do got to ask....with the AH going out the door is there a point for this game to stay online? Making this thing offline capable should be much less work than something like Simcity.
Wouldn't have to deal with the wacky lag lately.

I consider it an RPG feature, not to be confined to any specific type of RPG. Just because Diablo 2 didn't have a basic feature does not mean all future games should exclude it. Diablo 2 is an old ass game, new games should be striving for more modern design elements.
I'm confused here. Diablo 3 has always had floating damage numbers, or are you guys referring to something more specific?
Honestly the super duper fancy OTs people make look more like PR releases than they do fan created threads. It's best if an OT has some information, and then lots of fun. This OT is funny and it told me about the new expac features, so it's good in my book.
Probably some sort of chat log damage info? Honestly i'd rather have it like D1 or 2 where you dont see any numbers, just the enemy bar drain.
uh, it IS completely randomized. You get an increasing drop rate, it's not '0% then it goes to 100% after 2 hours' like people want to marginalize it to. I have absolutely gotten like 8 legendaries in two hours and sometimes 1 in 3 or 4.
Well, you can turn them off. Theres options to hide the white dmg and the yellow crit dmg. So you can show neither or just one or the other if you want. I play with just crit dmg on.

That's not what I am saying. I am saying certain legendaries have higher drop rate than other legendaries. Believe me I know you can get lucky streak on drops (I have, I got 8 legendaries 3 set items in 2 reset runs and ID'ed them all at the same time which lagged several people for seconds) Yes if you were on at that time, that was me. 11 fiery brimstomes.

I think im willing to pay for a power level on my crusader just to unlock adventure mode asap for him.
They've confirmed it's not working as intended right now as 60 because it's balanced around 60 being a notch on the leveling ladder. (2Hs the biggest symptom.)
omg the pic
