Re: Diablo 3

Console changes would not make their way to the pc version. Otherwise we would be seeing WASD movement options. The ui changes are purely due to them being retarded, not to make it more console friendly.

Re: Diablo 3

There is no reason to add WASD movement to the PC side. Just like there is no reason to remove flexibility and customization from a PC only game...but they did. Anyway, I hope I am wrong, but....I'm not.

Wasn't the paladin the least played character in D2 anyways? I've seen more druids than pallys for the time I was playing D2. It was awesome at the start of the game though.

Were pallys even any good in PvP?

I'm not sure if anyone thought the same as I do, but the way I see it, why play a pally when I can play a barb?

Same. I was only able to play for about 3 hours normally. Tried 2 other times and the lag was too bad. I'll definitely be buying this on release after not wanting to last week

Re: Diablo 3

I just maxed the Barb at lvl 13. First time I ever maxed a toon.

I crafted the Flamberge. The tooltip said it was a 16.0 dmg weapon, but when I crafted it, it turned into 18.1.

Add Frenzy and it's just ridiculous. I've been trying different skill combinations, but it's so OP at this level it's unreal.

I also have a 15.7 and 15.6 Sickle which adds DPS.

Re: Diablo 3

its 16 base, and the random affixes can add dps (elemental dmg, attack speed, etc)

Re: Diablo 3

my experience with the barbarian mechanics, at least up to lvl 13, is dual wielding is much more powerful than with 2h weapons due to rage generation mechanics (cleave , frenzy and bash generating rage on per swing basis), allowing for rend and shockwave spams.

They'll probably balance that somehow because I can't imagine a barbarian that's not viable with giant 2 handed weapons.

Grunching a bit but it makes no sense to me monks change attack speeds based on the swords and axes they keep sheathed on their belts. (btw, as the game is designed, barbarians and monks want to attack as fast as possible for maximum rage/spirit generation)

So the DPS shown in the tooltip is the base+affixes? I did not know that. Niceeee.

I'm looking forward to the release. I'm tired of working my hands to the bone.

I bought another +DPS ring and now I'm at 55.23 DPS. I was playing with some groups that were <lvl 9 and I felt bad because I was just destroying everything and they barely had a chance.

Bash + Onslaught is pretty cool. It's like creating a sonic boom everytime you swing.

Re: Diablo 3

it counts added damage or speed, it doesnt count the +main stats on the weapon that still give you bonus % dmg

Could you clarify that? I just crafted another Flamberge to see what would happen and I hit 19.2 DPS.

It has +2-4 Cold Damage and +6 XP, which is irrelevant anymore.

It also shows 14-21 damage and 1.10 Attacks Per Second.

I assume he means it doesn't calculate +Str, +Dex etc...
