I've never used the forums on Diablo 3.

There are a lot of things that bugs me about Diablo in general. I didn't like Diablo 2 and like... five people on my Steam friends list were all "Why aren't you getting Diablo 3 (when it launched)". I finally got it a couple of months ago and they all stopped playing except for one of my friends... shocking, I know.

I find Diablo 3 is unnecessarily unfair against melee ... a lot of mechanics screw up my Monk (several affixes). I was playing 1-60 with a friend and when I asked him how to find openings with certain situations, his reply, more often than not would be, "You don't" or "You let me do it". I play melee in just about every game I own (when it comes to fighting of any sort) and finding that Blizzard doesn't let melee do anything is 100% retarded. Ex: Ghom's gas is nearly impossible to approach so I'm stuck doing squat while my Demon Hunter friend does everything.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of people saying how Blizzard really dropped the ball on the Auction house - specifically, making it harder for botters to farm gold / gear, but effectively screwing up the "actual" Diablo 3 players.

Certain affixes just flat out fuck over melee. I started with a Barb, but switched to Wiz then DH before my barb ever hit 60. I still play the Barb a bit now because his armor and resistances are pretty rad but fire chains is just a game ender depending on the elite with the affix. Electric and Poison affixes aren't too bad though.

Oddly, I find Illusion to be a real show-stopper for barb. Maybe because my DPS is a paltry 18k.

I mostly (90% of the time) play the game solo though. Maybe that's what's up.

No kidding... >_>
I was dying on a pretty regular basis on Hell because I wouldn't be able to find away around some of them. Be it Arcane-ing me into a corner, or Plaguing everything around me. Electric I found wasn't bad. The two above usually were the ones killing me. Desecration the odd time - it'd kill me because there's a few seconds of delay before I'd be out of the ground effect, and the time I'd stop taking damage... Yay Blizzard servers... Illusion wasn't usually a problem, but then again, my friend just Elemental Arrow (ball lightning) them to death instantly.

Yeah, I don't like playing those games alone - I find it boring. Most anything I play on computer (save osu!) is multi-player (generally I play computer games with friends and my N3DS is if I wanna play something on my own).. Playing multi-player shouldn't deem the melee friends obsolete though.

Get enough LoH, like 2k+ and just Whirlwind and sprint tornadoes around them, your LoH will tick so many times that you won't even feel the Fire Chains

LoH works with Whirlwind? Good to know. A handful of life-based abilities don't work with certain skills (eg rapid fire) which is fucking dumb

having said that I have an 800 LoH axe pretty cool beans

I love taking screenshots of horrible, horrible situations. It can be funny what the game throws at you some times.

that elite looks pretty easy to me :| not sure how you're getting the HP numbers to display atop the monsters though, that looks useful

Just read the changes being made to 1.04. I'll probably start playing again after that, even if I can't kill Ghom (I can always skip him)

Elite demonic tremors (the yellow ones) are kind of bugged right now, they seem to have a hyper-fast affix by default. This video shows it perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suJRtRLt9xo

Anddd yeah, it seems like a lot of people are waiting for the 1.04 patch to come out. I just read about the buffed legendary weapons... kind of makes me sad they are giving them justice NOW 3 months after game release. Seems like its going to be like a re-launch. I imagine a lot of people are gonna be pissed off for buying all those 250$ legendaries now that they're gonna become obsolete.

I've noticed a large number of elite packs have really high move speed with or without the fast affix. I'd hope that was a bug, it's fucking obnoxious

also depends on the monster, if the monster is already fast on itself the elites will ofcourse also be faster than slow mobs.

Wouldn't surprise. Blizzard's good at being dumb.
Also, I looked at the patch notes for the Champions and Rares and instantly wondered why they're nerfing them so hard...

Yes. Now that the loots are better they essentially nerfed Inferno again. Something tells me I should keep my DPS at 70k and try to improve my resistances... otherwise it MIGHT get boring.

Smoke Screen is STILL the only/best way to counter jailer. Whyyyyyyyy!?

I hit level 60 and quit immediately because the game was so friggin boring...
It's just a slap in the face to the people that actually enjoyed the game and beat Inferno pre-nerf.
Though I don't think the affixes needed that hard of a nerf. Me thinks the little kiddies who can't play the game were complaining to the point that Blizzard gave them what they wanted.

Seems like they made it so they gave each class one spell to counter everything. The limited moveset sorta proves that imo.

I still haven't beaten inferno yet but they nerfed Ghom so maybe I can get past him now

the last patch (1.03b I think) completely broke him

The whole game is broken based on what I've heard. Had a friend rambling how easy Diablo 3 is after the previous nerf (not the one from yesterday).

I was choosing between Diablo 3 and another game. Since everyone played Diablo 3 and said how amazing it was, I got that about a month after launch. About a week after I bought it, only one out of the four or five people that bought it, bothered playing it with me. I'm really grateful to them for telling me how amazing it was, then telling me how boring it was right about the time I got it. *sarcasm*. Wasted $60.

Such an overrated game in the end, imo. The amount of frustration I have for it is amazing...

I tested it a bit. Fire chains is much less of a FUCK YOU even to my DH, so my barb can probably tank it

also I like that you can now see the AOE on AOE attacks

I hate it for two reasons:
1) Because it's so repetitive and you have to beat three difficulties before you beat the hardest settings.
2) They make it completely unfair to melee, which is the way I've rolled in just about any game I've played.
On a bit of a side point, I also got upset for spending $60 on the game while having at least four friends stop playing it as soon as I got it, when I bought the game to only play WITH people.

Paragon seems like a really good idea, gives more reasons for players to keep going. If I liked it more, I'd probably go at it.

Yeah, I always died to Fire Chains and Arcane Sentries. Both of which took a major nerf.
It's nice to be able to see anything in the mound of chaos that is the field sometimes... =/

yeah I thought Arcane Sentry was nerfed; I touched one yesterday and it only did 8k damage instead of like, 18k

so yeah Fire Chains is pretty nerfed; molten is still a bit dangerous for me but my Barbarian is just stomping through Act 2 now. Found a pretty good 1H sword (100STR, 967 DPS) and my skillset lets me blast through elite packs. Rend with Bloodlust is a godsend now.

My barbarian isn't even using auction-house gear, it's all shit I found, including a level 50-something helmet I found literally months ago

Finally beat Diablo on Inferno, WITHOUT using the Auction House. Managed to defeat all of the bosses in Act 4 without dying. Then I went and bought a ring with ~60 AR and now I'm pretty well-geared.

Yup, Arcane Sentries do ~30% less damage and are more spread and Fire Chains do 20% less damage.
Even for someone who doesn't like the game like me, I even think it was too much of a nerf. But that's just me, other hardcore players may disagree. Not sure if it's a good game for players looking for a challenge.

From what I heard, bots completely broke the Auction House because all the prices are stupidly inflated. Which is very disappointing.
Maybe the nerf was for the people that were sick of farming gold for stupid prices, I dunno.

it seems the opposite to me. Prices on everything are going down.

The Arcane Sentry appears to have a different behaviour altogether - damage on it is way down, but spawn rate is up. Prior to 1.04 I don't recall a single mob being able to have two sentries going at once, so I think they reduced both the damage and the cooldown.

But now that I've beaten Diablo and I can farm in Whimsyshire, I have to wonder, "What now?" Maybe run a different class?

Gotta get that paragon to 100 =p. I'm pretty happy with this patch, it brought me back to the game after a 2-3 week hiatus, sadly i lost my 60 WD in HC the other day so now im stuck playing normal for a bit =(.

I have 3 level 60 characters. Suffice to say I don't mind blasting through the first two difficulties since they're incredibly easy. Hell is also pretty easy, but you have to either have current gear or keep your mind in the game for it.

Only got 2 legendary items so far in Normal difficulty for both my characters. I believe they are Crystal Fist and The Zweihander. But I've since sold them on the Gold Auction House.

I play as a Barbarian and a Monk on the Asian servers. Both are currently in Act II.

Patch v1.05 is out as of today. They said they doubled legendary drop rates, but I found 3 in my last three or four hours, so I think it's a bit higher than that. Also found a key to a new quest/dungeon/boss battle.

Monster Level feature has been added, but you have to go into the options menu to enable the ability to use it (I seriously have no fucking idea why Blizzard does that kind of stuff, hiding features in a toggle in the options menu)

I am still playing the fuck out of this game; got 5 level 60s (one is a hardcore monk) and still haven't touched witch doctor yet

Monster Level 2 Act 1 inferno mobs were giving me a bit of trouble (budget-gear monk) so I'm interested in seeing what the MLvl 10s can dish out

Barbarian is Level 30, and is somewhere in Act III. Monk is Level 27 and just started Act III.

Rares looks like they drop more often from elite or champion mobs, and that's okay with me. No luck with Legendaries so far.

I didn't get my first legendary unique until level 45ish on my Barb. I've found maybe 15-20 of them now, only one or two that were actually good. Found my first Set item the other day after 400+ hours of playing; sold it for $20 USD and bought Minecraft with it. Once you hit level 60 and start getting NV stacks/paragon levels you find rares all the time. Somewhere between 25-50% of the magical drops will be rares.

Legendaries pop up a bit more if you crank the Monster Power up to 10 and have a +299% MF but enemies will have a bonus 3400% HP

Yeah, this patch has been pretty fun. Infernal machine is a nice goal to set for yourself while farming.

Wtb being able to dye legendary armor, my character looks retarded right now =(.
