I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks starting the 26th, plenty of time for servers to unfuck themselves. Will log in the day I return and play with 0 problems!
I hope haha.
Lol.

The skill system is glorious. It's half the reason I play (the other half is that combat feels good, unlike TL2 and PoE). I hated the skill system in D2, so D3 for me is a huge upgrade.
Sometimes my monk feels like a necromancer with all my helpers.
Demon Slave from my Maxmimus
Mystic Ally (Monk Skill)
Collector's Edition Skeleton Hound
Goblin from my Puzzle Ring (picks up items and drops rares/legendaries)
Enchantress
Murloc from my Murlocket
Not all of the pets do damage, but it's kinda fun having all these guys tag along with me.

yeah about that. never got any farther. i think i was like 12.
blood raven sounds about right but i distinctly remember tits, which is why i think it was andariel. not sure though.
oh gotcha. thanks.
Maybe I'm missing some wrinkle here, but D3 does allow most any item to roll a healthy amount of +skill damage% or +elemental damage%, and lucking into a couple pieces of the same bonus can and absolutely will get you to completely rethink your build. Legendaries have much the same effect, and there's also plenty to be said for building around the new resource and cooldown reduction and aoe damage affixes.
Yes.
They have fixed a lot of the problems with the skills that existed after launch. (Skills being bland, lots of skills/runes seemed useless, there were only a few usable builds)
Now you can run pretty much anything and be successful. Yellows, sets, and legs all have the ability to increase damage to certain skills as well, or just certain elements in general. Also the legendary affixes now can be game changing. (Kridershot or that Gyrfalcon's Foote.)
So yeah, I agree with you. The skill system is amazing now.
no more having to reroll an entire character just to try a different build
So the only pre-order bonuses are the cosmetic wings and the Heroes of the Storm character right? I kinda want to pick this up to pass the time until Dark Souls 2 comes out on PC (hopefully not a shit port) but the servers are going to borked on launch week anyway so I'm leaning toward waiting till the post launch hype was worn off to get a feeling for the game.

Yo I know DAT FEEL!
My barb feels like a necro.

Also there is an affix that repairs items with time, which is great when you get that on an ethereal item.

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?

Pfft. All I need are my trusted ferrets. No screen because I'm at work. Perma Ancients is awesome though.
Indeed. The whole Loot 2.0 thing wouldn't even work with a different skill system. If you couldn't adjust your skills at any time, many legendary items would be almost as useless as they were pre-patch. The game is now all about constantly evolving characters and experimentation, and that's great.
Having to grind 70 levels multiple times with the same class just to try out a new legendary gimmick is not my idea of fun.

This OT is fucking glorious. That first post is just icing on the cake.
Preordered RoS... Can't wait for 25th..

Passive!
Yeah but it's on a skill thats more like barb cleave. It's nothing like the Pally skill.

*raises hand*
I need to know if my friend is bullshitting me or not. He has an iMac running snow leopard that he's played DIII with me on in the past. When he tries to open it now he says that it tells him he needs to upgrade to Lion to be able to play.
This isn't real right? Minimum spec requirements don't change in games like that...right??
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

This thread is getting me excited, can't way to try out the crusader. Really bummed there isn't a zeal-like skill though, i'm all about that attack speed.
Edit: just saw that zeal rune, definitely better than nothing!

Can't tell if you're being serious or not, but grabbing a zod rune (makes an item indestructible) plus a quest reward in act 5 that lets you add socket/sockets to an item of your choice with no sockets present = Indestructible Herald of Zakarum shield and fun for all.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Just grab a Zod rune? And put it in a fucking Herald?

I'm for shirley being serious. BoTD is a waste of runes.
Any Zod I had was used for making BotD's for my trio of barbs. Of course I would never put one in a Herald.

Got bored while doing COA runs and decided to start aiming for 1,000,000 damage on the character sheet (all 2.0 items). Most challenging part: finding my screenshot key during the narrow window in which I get enough Archon stacks and am close enough to a chest to proc http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/harrington-waistguard.

Pretty sure anyone that bought the digital deluxe got the bonus stuff early. Physical CE buyers have to wait for the box as usual.

Ever since that patch the game has been so much more fun to play.
WHO CARES, ZEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and Zeal was like a cleave anyway, this is just another way to do it

Runs as in specific 5-10 min runs? I don't do "runs", I find specific runs retarded (as in, I feel like I become retarded when I do them - I have nothing against people who do Crypt runs or whatever).
1-220, I played through the campaign. Over and over again, only tweaking with paragon from time to time (ranging from para 2 to 4 depending on the group).
220+, I'm doing act 1 and act 3 depending on the mood and what the group feels like doing.
I never play solo either.
That's that, I guess :lol

LOL, Diablo 3. This game sucks, amirite guys?
I ran COTA today for an hour and got like 3 levels but every time I do it it chips away at my soul. 
The two 2H Legendaries didn't help either (I am now on a 7 Legendary streak of 2Hs).
I think I am just going to run campaign at Torment 3-4. Not many people on GAF are usually playing when I start for some reason.
I did some campaigns and EXP wise they don't feel that slow if your character can move fast.

Got this. Doesn't seem to blind that often but the purple chaos cloud thing is almost always around.
edit: nm that was my enchantress lol
real proc looks like this. doesn't seem to have a timer on it procs pretty often on my normal attack
More testing: Not sure if it has an internal cooldown or not. I've gotten it to proc within 9 seconds but it doesn't always proc so it is hard to tell if it's on a CD. The ring lasts around 4-5 seconds and everything inside of it is blinded which is pretty cool.
