Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - IllegallySane - 2014-03-19

From the times I played at the end-game, I would rate it as so:
1. Wizard
2. Witch Doctor
3. Monk
4. Demon Hunter
5. Barbarian

The problem with Barbarian and Demon Hunter right now is the skills don't feel as synergistic as the other 3 classes, especially Wizard. The reason Wizard is so good is that just about every skill is good, passives are good and none are glaringly the best. Just about any style can be played with the Wizard: Frost/Fire/Lighting/Melee/Support/AoE/Single Target/etc. Barb and DH also suffer from needing gear to become amazing again, since I feel these 2 classes are like Warriors from WoW where they're shoddy with mediocre gear but amazing end-game and best gear. They also suffer a lot from Resource Generating being too low in comparison to the other 3 classes. I still love my Barb with over 220 hours played, but I won't lie that without level 70 and better gear he's rather lackluster when compared to the rest. Witch Doctor has plenty of variety and many tools at their disposal. Monks have the best support skills bar none, amazing combination of mobility and AoE, and can become tankier than most other classes.

Oh god why. Inb4 actual nerfs, massive QQs, and I move on to a Sleet Storm build.


[MENTION=7450]MuscleWizard[/MENTION] Congrats!

Frozen Orb definitely double dips. It does 50% skill damage as it passes through enemies and 100% as it explodes. I believe if the target is large enough, the outer edge of the orb hits them as it explodes dealing another 50% skill damage.

Demon Hunters tool so well for OHKO difficulties, but I feel it's difficult to justify higher ones given the generation issue and the basic lack of necessity to run high torment.

Time for D3 to take full force in a few days and my excitement levels are beaming!

Whelp. Time to farm Ray of Frost gear.

That's also why I immediately switched to Disintegrate, because I figured Frozen Orb would have been hotfixed very shortly after since it was being posted all over the place on DF and Battle.net forums and whatnot.

Also huge thanks to [MENTION=535]JoeTang[/MENTION] for helping me attempt to get my Hellfire ring, sadly I'm still without the freaking eye. I did some more Uber runs with [MENTION=4684]happylight[/MENTION] and [MENTION=18]Justin[/MENTION] and I've gotten 3x Spine and Fang now. Wish I could have done more, but had to go for the WoW raidings.

WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE ITEMS


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-03-19

MF still exists, but it's a very rare affix now. My Templar has that exact ring on him solely for the MF transfer.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Justin - 2014-03-19

A damn shame they nerfed the hell out of MF... the legendary drop rate boost is only 10% of the actual MF you currently have.. so that 40% MF is technically only a 4% legendary drop rate boost. Sad

Also finally got materials to attempt 2 hellfire rings.. one was "okay", but the other was just complete garbage. Neither are worth using over my current rings though.

MuscleWizard Wrote:WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE ITEMS

You can just throw out most of those gems, once you're 60 you'll get only flawless squares, so anything below them is essentially worthless.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-03-19

My Barbarian has like 200% MF. It's worthless thus far, though I haven't played him much.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - happylight - 2014-03-20

Went through half of my stash of 30ish inferno machines today. Made 3 hellfire rings. All crap but gonna use one to do more CoTA runs. Also hit paragon 200 today yay.

I tried the frozen orb build. While it's pretty powerful, I just run out of AP way too fast. Rather stick with my infinite disintegrate build.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - JoeTang - 2014-03-20

I have like 25 machines now. I think my Monk can tank and shield through T5 if anyone wants to bring DPS and skimp on some toughness. My Mantra of Healing shield is 21k now. I'm not sure if it's possible to run Guiding Light in a party higher than 2 though.


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-03-20

Saddened by the low rolls, but it's a fun item for the last few days we have left.

Is the fire damage noticeable? And at least you got an upgrade. I got an Oculus Ring weaker than the one I was already wearing, and then a Litany, which is worse than the Oculus Ring in every way.

The stupid elite in CotA is stupid.
Frozen Pulse is stupid. You have to let it almost hit you before you can actually dodge it. It snares you if you get hit so you can't dodge the second hit. They sometimes summon a second one while the first one is still exploding. It really shouldn't do that since it makes like 50% of combat be running away from it if you can't tank it.
Thunderbolt is stupid. It hits way too fast to be reasonably dodgeable. Is there an indicator for when this happens?
There's so little room to maneuver around these two, especially if they're both happening at the same time. At least we didn't hit any Vortex/Jailer with them too.

Not too sure what else I can tweak on my Monk to do T6 better. Primary issue is an Elite with such a high amount of burst damage. Not sure how to get more HP without sacrificing more Mitigation. Could use an Armor roll on my Seven Sins. Maybe even hope for a damned Health Globe roll too. I think I've seen that once or twice in all the ones I've crafted. I have a Rogar's Huge Stone somewhere, maybe that could push survivability up since it scales with remaining HP.

Amazingly, through our runs there, I healed about 12m HP. 60m/2b for that achievement. I wonder if it counts Mantra of Healing since my Soothing Breeze only heals like 15k.


Is anyone else up for running some T6 CotA + Cathedral 4, or Keeps 2?

JoeTang Wrote:Is the fire damage noticeable? And at least you got an upgrade.

Are they an upgrade? I figured the 5% loss from Disintegrate would make them worse, also from the CotA / Cath 4 runs we did, I saw it hitting for 130k+ white.

While leveling my DH with a friend, one was a plan, other was a nice ring. Big Grin

Is there a key to just screenshot in the game, or should I continue print screen+crop in ms paint?

Oh hey, that was my first legendary drop too. At around the same area, on the same class as well. Big Grin

The key is "SysRQ" or something like that, but you can change it to whatever you want in the key bindings. I had to figure it out because Print Screen wasn't working for me.

The screenshots you take show up in the Diablo 3 folder in the Documents section of your computer for some reason, took me a while to find it because game files and pictures don't usually go there.

Decided i wanted 1 legendary on my demon hunter. First pack i kill gets me a kridershot. I am the happies


Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Dark Link - 2014-03-20

The D3 screenshots are saved as .jpg, which butchers the quality. I just put the SS into MS Paint and use Puush from there.
