Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

What should I be going for if I'm a barb? I always try to get str + vit. My damage is only 30k but my vit is 72k. Should I drop some vit for some more str?

Critical hit chance, Attack speed, Critical hit damage, Strength, All res, Vit.

In that order

I think it would have made things more interesting if only one of the "op dps mods" could have rolled on an item at a time.

Think if you had to pick between crit chance, AS, or crit damage?

Not too difficult. For instance a Barb needs iAS for life gain stability and fury and Crit Chance for maintaining berserk and gaining fury where all Crit Damage does is add more DPS.

Take a look at your over all Attack Speed and Crit. Which ever one is needs the boost is the one you pick. For a barb I'd put the numbers attack speed below 2.0 then Attack speed. Crit below 40 then crit......above 2.0 and 40 then possibly crit damage.


Also depends on your build and stuff like that. If you use a 2 handed beater build that uses Best Served Cold and Killing Spree you'd put into critical Hit Damage because of the added 20% crit chance from the 2 skills.
 
Hey guys I have a question. I haven't played in awhile and am doing my first Demon Hunter. I just finished Normal.

Did they shorten the game....? I just realized I never had to do the jail area in act 1, and some part I used to farm near the end of act 1. I can't remember if there is anything else.

Yeah I just googled it. I totally never had to even to the warden or the butcher.

wtf lol

I just wonder: is it so hard to write solid netcode?

Why are both PoE and D3 plagued with rubberbanding/synching issues?

And neither of them offer LAN play, which is what i'd be doing if it were available.

Here's a pretty indepth explanation by Chris Wilson (head honcho of POE) of all the things that go into reducing lag for action RPGs: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/318115

I thought it was pretty informative regarding all the things they must overcome for smooth gameplay.

Nope, the Warden and Butcher areas are still there, just did them last night with my Barb.
 
Is there a glitch that I unknowingly did somehow where I skip past the whole jail area and the butcher? I can't remember the name, but the area leading up to the butcher where its a dungeon and all red and fiery.

Yeah those two areas it totally skipped for me.


:-?

Go home Diablo 3 player, you are drunk
 
If you pubbed with anyone at all, it's possible that you joined a game that was later in the progression than you already were, and when you went back to single player mode you kept on going and skipped over the parts that were skipped during multi-player.

Halfway to 60 with my new char, not too bad for one day's worth of work (thanks to purebooyah for some leveling help)

show your appreciation in gold.


I don't understand the HC auction house. I have some decent level 60 gear that's up below 200k gold, doesn't sell. But I can throw up a level 23 ring, nothing special, has a main stat, 100 vit, and a socket for 3 million and it sold in less than 8 hours. Along with the ring, I put up 7 other leveling items below level 25 and they all sold. I made 4 million just helping him level his WD through Normal. I'm thinking I should just farm Normal mp10, I'm making more money and there's no risk of dying.

More people play Under 60 then over 60 I'd say....I know I did.

also Gloves, Armor, Shoulders, Amulets, and Bracers can and should all be crafted so selling those would be hard.

I did pretty well for myself when I was playing HC both pre and post 60....but I do agree with you. I sold one of those low level movement speed spears for like 4 million or something silly like that.
 
And for normal farming, tr monk is king!!!!

I've been skipping rates to just farm for leorics, but I shoul probably clean my inventory and pick up all the rares I find

60 Again on WD. About the same DPS as when I died last time, but I have almost double the hp and 100+ more resists this time thanks to the gold I had. Time to progress through inferno again

Nice rocking those 4.5 crit rings...always priced just right. I might invite myself into one of your games and boost you up with some mantra of evasion - Divine Protection....always takes a little while to get back into the mind set of HardCore after playing SoftCore.

The extra hp this time around helps a fair amount. I mainly just need to start throwing in some Crit damage and extra resists. If I get anything that sells for a decent amount I'm going to buy the bp recipe as well.
 
Bought a cheap Manajuma's set (700k total for both) and I'm up to 42k dps. Back to Keep Depths 2 in Act 3 (where I died). Going to stream some later tonight. I should easily be fine, I have 70k hp and 450+ resists. Now I need to get some good loots to sell!
 
WTB a Zuni ring, chest, or boots on HC for the 2 set (or all the above for 4 set!). Can get mediocre hat cheap, but fuck the other pieces are expensive

I also can't decide if I like Zombie Bears or Acid Cloud more

Ok, I'm done with hardcore. I just lost my lvl 42 demon hunter. Things were way too easy so I bumped monster power up... boom, dead.
 
Nothing like dying at level 59 with TWO bars to go! I ran into what I thought must be an Illusionist pack of Mallet Lords, but it turned out to be HORDE with Vortex. I couldn't believe how many of them there were. I was actually doing well but an ill-timed vortex royally fucked me and they all smashed me at once. Epic death pics incoming in 5...

Na you have it wrong....Hard Core is done with you.

I still suggest a monk. Demon hunter is the hardest class IMO. The only good way to HC this class involves using shadow power pretty much constantly and you are bound to fuck that up eventually and die.

That's rough what is even worse is it looks like your frost nova is fully charged.
 
Mallet lords are fucking BRUTAL. They just hit so hard, and you don't really have time to move away. I would not want to run into that pack. I killed Azmodan last night (first time for me in HC) and I kind of refuse to go to Act 4 until I'm really comfortable with my damage.

I can do decent in Act 1 on MP1, I might even be able to do MP2 but I'll have to see. Just need to get my farm on and get some gold! I haven't been able to sell anything lately

No, I took a minute to try and grab an epic shot of the Mallet Lords in mid-swing before I exited, so all my cooldowns look like they've reset (I didn't have a potion available when I died either).

I actually had 52% melee damage reduction at the time (20% String of Ears, 20% Blur, 12% Ice Armor) and survived the first barrage of hits, but I had like no health at that point and one extra hit did me in. Speaking of which, is there a cap on DR or did I actually have 52%?

I wasn't using a shield either (2hander), so that probably would have helped too, but I was having fun with my experimental build and will probably do it again haha. Had I just ground out the last 2 bars in an earlier area I would have had Unstable Anomaly, which would have saved me as well, but c'est la vie. I wasn't even pissed or saddened that it happened...I just want to get back into it and try it again.

No cap on DR, armor and resist scale with EHP linearly.


Sniped a new inna's helm for Never(ver 2.0). Very high Spirit regen on it, making it good for a TR build. Slowly but surely working towards a 4pc inna (wearing my MF set for normal runs, but that inna is the one I got).

YES...have you beat by .05....I bought mine last night 1.3 million....Now I am broke again.

Damn, thats some nice life per spirit too, and 5.5 crit%!

Someone put out a low buyout for that? 1.9+ Spirit regen on the helm dont usually come cheap, right now lowest buyout is 12 mil. I feel lucky to have sniped mine at 2 mil. Would've been nice for me to have phys resist, but switching the rest to cold shouldnt be too bad.

took me about 3 weeks of searching. I just do a sort by date and find the newest ones looking for a poorly priced one.....Usually none monk plays can not understand the importance of spirit regen.

God damn you don't mess around that is some high end gear there.





Working on HC hell fire ring right now.
 
Well.....Good bye tacobell.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/dirkdirden-1579/hero/33903511

God damn act 4 key warden is a bitch....I had 3 keys from each and went to get the infernal machine plans. Was running MP4 just fine on act1,2, and 3. But that 4th key warden has some fucked up ability that hurts me when I heal....and boy does my monk heal. Also ran into 2 pack while fighting the key warden because I had to run away.

That is some High end HC shit down the drain....45 hours of time as well.

HC and myself are done for now. Passed it and was just pushing DPS anyways.
 
Well this is just ridiculous. I decided to gear up a Monk after seeing how good they are for farming higher MP levels. Haven't spent to much gold gearing up the last 2 weeks to get through stock inferno, mostly found drops at first with my PL100 Wiz. I'm at 90K+ dps with my Monk and can farm almost as well at MP2 with my 230K Wiz. Monk is at PL5 right now with no extra exp (other than nv stacks) or ruby in my helm. That is just ridiculously unbalanced right there...

PS: also makes my Barbarian look like a twirling pussy...
