[ALL] Diablo III

[leaffan]

wow...that was pretty fast....how do your butt feel?

Total play time on that hero is 14hr 30min and that includes playing the second act twice because I was helping a room mate along. I've honestly barely played compared to the old days.

I think I just suck at using a Demon Hunter

I found demon hunter the easiest to just move along with in act 1. I think I polished the whole act off in an hour with him. How are you getting killed the most of the time?

Spiders surround me then it's Game Over.

Don't you have a defensive skill? Like I'm using the Monk and I've got a defensive skill assigned to the "1" slot. It sends out a burst of energy to all directions in my immediate area that blinds all enemies. It's great when I've got enemies closing in all around me because it buys me some time to get out of there.

You need to hire a Templar and make use of the little insect buddy power-up.. The only way I was getting fucked up as a DH was when I was getting too close to the action.

Go buy some cheap rares from the AH that you just barely meet the requirements for too, that will help... Sometimes if you just fish near the bargain pricing section of items you can find some $500 re-sale items for just an ~$800 buyout cost, which will save you a lot of time and money compared to waiting to find or craft those things in-game.

Just beat that giant fuck at the end of ACT II right now as a Level 26 DH and now I'm trolling through ACT II again looking for all the passageways and shit I didn't go into trying to rush through the main story line before I move onto the final act.

I beat Diablo with a 27 Barb.... How much time have you put in to get that far on just act 2?

For Demon Hunters its all about setting traps and running away while enemies run through them and slow down.

Blocked at work. Why did they get nerfed?

 

[KNUBB]

They said Boon of Protection Rune is OP.

The hotfix removes the on-use benefits of the Boon of Protection rune that affects Mantra of Healing, ensuring the "amount of damage absorbed is now capped at the amount of healing provided by Mantra of Healing in the first 3 seconds after activation." In other words, the monk could heal itself too easily, which caused problems in balancing the difficulty curve for everybody else, and this fix aims to change that.

Community manager Bashiok explained, "The Boon of Protection rune was approximately ten times over its budget on the benefits it provided, and it was quite simply a mistake on our part to let the rune ship as it was. We don't intend to take these quick and drastic measures often, but considering the severity of the issue, we felt it important to correct it swiftly."

Are you stuck or just enjoying the game?

 

[Maynard]

just enjoying the game. i usually play slower than most people

 

[red33]

act 1 still?

I just beat skeleton king on hell.

Im starting to get a lil irritated at the drops. Rarely do i get a drop worth anything it seems. I have to buy everything i need at the AH. basically feels like im grinding for gold only.

also hell is hard. NM wasnt really bad, soloed the whole thing, but hell is gonna be hard.

I've noticed that the number of rare and unique items is really crazy in terms of numbers but really good things are just not possible to find.

 

[Bomberooski]

Finally got two rare in a drop

 

[Maynard]

seems like all the choice stuff is for other classes. i dont get shit for my class

 

[Bomberooski]

Leaffan and I worked over a ton of the end of Act 1 (at least I hope we're close to the end of Act 1).

We ended beating the Warden
