Diablo 3

[MrAce]

There has been a solo barb HC clear as well, think it was 1-2 days ago. HC barbarians that focus on LOH/resist/vit and don't care that much about damage will do well. I think the one that cleared inferno solo stated he had a DPS of 7k.

 

Yes, there are a lot of ways to do it. Everyone knows the champs and packs are much stronger and more dangerous than the bosses. If you can run and pass those champs and face only the bosses like some HC players do its another story. These two are not only the first inferno diablo killers but they also killed every single pack and champs through out the game.

 

Anyway, you are talking about 7k DPS weapon. I didnt even know thwy had such powerful weapons in the game.

No, 7K total dps.

I also made some research, i dunno how true it is but seems like those who beat Diablo in inferno may have done some stuff you and i would not do.

Most of them are making big $$$ out of this via streams and all. A lot of experienced top players are questioning the existence of a BARBARIAN character in HC inferno, letalone actually beating the game honestly with this character (no surprise to me). I admit there are a lot of whiners and haters among them too but i know some of them very well from D2, respected players who are talking about the exploits those guys came up with. Perhaps they are just jealous idk.

All I know is that I am on my third HC witch doctor

 

First died early in hell through sheer stupidity on my part

Second died on Nightmare Diablo because I forgot to chance spec prior to the boss fight.

[MrAce]

Did you guys notice in the video that they both had extremely high % atack speed + movement speed ?

Pre the halving of attack speed in the patch.

Eh, all right. I was staying with a lady friend last night and she gave me a guest pass. I played for like 3 minutes and bought the full version. Probably retarded since I can't play from my apartment most likely, but ***** it. Let's roll.

[jjbrr]

So, I can sort of play from my apartment, which means I'll be grinding a lot in the next couple months, but I definitely had some really bad connection spots. I had really bad lag, especially when breaking ashes which is weird, but there were a couple times where I experienced lag walls where the map simply fails to load any further and at the end I lost a substantial amount of my progress due to no connectivity. Lame.

 

That said, I ran through SK without any problems and honestly without even getting close to being in trouble. Random button mashing is too easy. I'm looking forward to more of a challenge.

 

But yeah, I'm admitting to joining the ranks of addicts. Can't play HC with my current connection for sure, but looking forward to it when i get more stable. Also sad I'll be missing the RMAH ATM that's currently going on.

Yea, dont even try HC if conn is bad.

 

Which character are you playing ? I may have some goodies for you. Whats your name ? You can add me to friends my name is TH3TURK , battlenet nick is TINTORERA

[MrAce]

I have a silly question, i started using follower, does an item follower wears help our gold find or magic find ? Or gold pick up radius ?

[blackshoe]

I believe so, yes. However, attribute bonuses (dex, vit, etc.) affect the follower.

I'm not sure you get 100% of MF, will check, but I think you get some.

 

Edit, checked, added a +10% MF ring to my follower, mine went up by 2%, gold find added a ring with 12%, gained 2%, bonus XP per kill, added 17, gained 3.4 so looks like you get 1/5.

 

Life on hit, life steal, regen and life on kill on the follower give you nothing but benefit the follower.

[jjbrr]

20% mf and gold from follower

 

 

edit: i didnt read the previous edit.

Playing a barb. I'll try to figure out how to add you.

 

 

Yesterday I played from a bit before the butcher to beating diablo and overall im pretty happy with the game. i had managed to avoid storyline spoilers mostly and i enjoyed that aspect as well.

Yep, it is a great game, i played Diablo 1 and 2 as well and we Diablo fans waited almost a decade for D3 to be released.

 

Whats your name in D3 by the way ?

[jjbrr]

brrrrr#1191

 

also, two observations about my first run through the game:

 

 

jfc treasure goblins are so ***** stressful. im still playing with the touchpad (lol no mouse) and treasure goblins are so F'ing challenging. i pretty much curse my computer every time the goblin jumps into its portal. blizzard did a great job adding them to the game because the concept is awesome, but missing out on that potential loot kills me.

 

 

 

act 3 was so much fun on the barb. the packs of monsters are so big and not too challenging that making them explode is amazingly satisfying. running through it the first time was enough to make this game a worthwhile investment.

 

[blackshoe]

"What was your name in the States?" B-)

[Cyberyeti]

I probably should have realised this, but I didn't realise just how broken the low level game is if you have a high level character due to gems. Potentially having a lvl 15 barbarian that can get 100% of his hits back every time he hits something is really stupid unless there's a cap on the fraction you're allowed, it's abusive enough getting 65/560 back as I am atm :)

 

IF I ever make a hardcore character, I will do so on the US servers as I have a load of low level mules full of gear filling the Euro ones, but don't feel the need just yet.

To be fair, any serious player with both a collection of spare high level gems and low level socketed gear probably already finds normal and nightmare modes ridiculously easy.

 

However, yeah, not having level caps on gems is just retarded. One doesn't even need a spare collection of socketed stuff; one just needs a low socket weapon and a high level ruby.

 

It makes the early game useless and opens the door for some weird glass cannon PvP when they roll that out, which doesn't sound fun to me but might appeal to others.

 

Edit: and bring back jewels for crying out loud! c'mon blizzard. jewels were a great part of the game.

[Cyberyeti]

Yeah, I'm not even abusing it as much as I could, but I'm kinda playing a glass cannon barb, dual wielding with 2x +65 life on hit gems and going through stuff at a vast rate. Only level 20, but killing faster than anything else I've played. 1.72 attacks per second using cleave with that much life on hit it's pretty hard to die.

[jjbrr]

eh. im such a fish at the auction house. yesterday i bought like a 240 dps dagger from the AH (which was like double the dps of the dagger that got me through nightmare diablo) for like 27000 gold. Today at work I thought about it, refined my search a little bit when i got home, and just bought a 540 dps dagger with strength for 125,000. hopefully i can use it to start farming hell mode, though all of my gear needs serious upgrading.

[Cyberyeti]

I'm surprised how well my dual wield barb is surviving (although hardcore would not have been a good idea), now nearly 57 in act 3 hell. Finally got past Belial in inferno with my monk (was short of DPS), waiting for a friend to catch up to see if we can co-op farm act 3 as my survivability isn't up to it without the buff his barb gives me, and I can't afford the gear while gearing up my barb as well.

[Rain]

I haven't touched the game since Philly. Didn't play D2. Really disliking the relentless gear grind - is that the only point? I liked it when the game first came out because it just looks so polished.

 

I play a wizard and without barb or monk help inferno acts 3/4 are still as impossible. And I think my character is reasonably well geared - already cleared inferno soon after the game came out (2 manning with a monk). Pony level was fun the first 5 times, and then subsequently I feel like it can give me a stroke.

 

Coming from playing WOW, the 6 abilities just doesn't cut it.

 

I hear roger lee is very very good at D3.

[billw55]

For those who like this sort of game, I recommend Path of Exile (just google it). It is currently in beta, but you can buy in cheap, only $10. The skill and item system is far better than D3 in my opinion, while D3 has an edge in combat animation.

 

They expect to go to open beta in September, at which point it will be free to play, with optional microtransactions.

 

Kripparrian made a pretty good video review, you can google that too.

[jjbrr]

I played a PoE beta a few months ago over a weekend and enjoyed it. It's much clunkier than D3, but the skill tree and character customization is fascinating and the endgame is infinitely more robust.

 

Also recommend it, though at the time it still felt very, very much like a free game. I know they've made lots of changes in recent months, so they've likely mitigated that a good amount.
