Diablo3 class thread

Played around with some friends looking for the 3 keys today.

For Act 1 my barb can probably solo all the way up to MP 6 or 7, at MP 10 the damage was starting to edge over my regeneration and even white mobs took too long to kill.
Act 3 at MP 4 was mildly challenging, I can probably still do it at MP 5.

I've got the 3 keys already, the Act 1 & 2 bosses that drop them are not specially hard, with the one on Act 2 being specially easy.
The boss for Act 3, man that was a huge challenge. I can complete Act 3 on MP 4 just fine with no deaths, but this boss killed me 3 times before I could down it on the same difficulty level.
I'll leave the surprise for everyone to find out by themselves just how terrible this last one can be.

I went with two friends on some runs. Got all my keys on the first try, but didn't get the plan. I found Act IV's warden to be easy the one time we tried it (MP3), and we fought it with another elite pack at the same time. Act II's was difficult in that it had a really machinegun mortar, and we had a Demon Hunter so its Missile Dampening affected him a lot. But it was also on MP4 for that one. I was running my Snowstorm build, and things were okay, but I definitely do not have enough DPS to be efficient. The snares were helpful for the DH to kite, but weren't absolutely necessary. I'm enjoying the new Meteor drop time running Comet. It's definitely more useful than Blizzard at the moment, but honestly, I prefer the stylistic sense of Blizzard despite its poor damage. It's a pretty fun build, but I felt my Life Regen was too low despite almost being 2k. My defenses definitely need improvement as well. Might run Prismatic instead now.

I'm at a deadend though for upgrades that I want for this build though since everything is now too expensive. I need a helm with Int, Vit, APoC, Crit, and RoF Crit. Just gotta wait a few weeks for them to start dropping ilvl63 mods on Wizard helms... The only acceptable upgrade for my Chest feels to be a Zunimassa's, and then I'd pair with the boots to get the set bonus. Shoulders would be a Vile Ward with decent Life Regen. Amulet would be one of those new sexy ilvl63 rolls with Int/Vit/CR/Life Regen and if affordable, CD, but obviously not in my budget. I see absolutely no good black weapons though. It's depressing, and I may have to settle with something just high DPS and a non-Triumvirate source. I'm contemplating switching the SoJ that I tried so hard to get for a new 6% CR, but they're expensive as well. At the same time, the old high tier rings are being priced as junk now, so I can cash in on one of those.

Oh look, I still get disconnected because Blizzard doesn't like my router's brand and I still lose my stacks from it. Bleh, so much for having motivation to play this game again...

That must be some long ass disconnection time...

What do you mean?

Edit: Yeah, it was on single player and I was disconnected all the way to the log in screen.

I think he means that if you disconnect from a game and reconnect, you keep your Nephalem Valor stacks, which isn't true for single player or when you (are forced to) log out.

I was disconnected earlier too, and gave up because it's just fucking stupid.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't apply to single player, and each time I disconnect, it logs me off anyways. I tried searching for info and people were still asking for it last week, so unless they added it to this patch (and if they did it's not working), it doesn't work.

I don't want to spend nearly 10$ on a new router that may or may not work just to play Diablo III. I've already paid 60$ for the game.

Used 8 inferno machines last night and only got a single mat drop. 2 of them were on MP4 and the rest were on MP3. Had to give up on MP4 Kulle and Siegebreaker 'cause they kept enraging. ;_;

After a few crappy legendary drops finally got some big fish:



Edit: Current bid at 79m, wow I wasn't expecting that much O.o

Very nice Manticore! Should sell well. LoL at the 9 min damage >.<

Wow I'm jealous. 200 dex AND double socket? @_@

Has anyone tried making the rings yet? Also, do you have to rebuy the 2 million recipe every time you want to make a ring?

I've only killed the Act 4 guy once and he didn't drop the plan. You don't have to buy the recipe each time, you only need the materials and a few thousand gold.

Sounds pretty great, especially if it can roll item level 63 mods unlike previous jewelry. I don't remember if I have 2 million on me or not, though. I'll have to start playing again tomorrow and figure out if I can still get by as a whirlwind barb.

Crafted items can't roll ilvl63 stats.

I thought that was because the crafted items were explicitly item level 62. The crafted legendary ring is definitely item level 63.

You're right. My bad. It's indeed ilvl63.

Got a set amulet... Travellers'... nah nvm.

The brick wall has been long gone. Where have you been?
