There is why it took you longer to kill him. Orb is an AOE spell not really single target. Before you say it has higher damage, it is far out weighed because of the Arcane power cost. If you would have used ray of frost, and maybe even frost nova to freeze him every once in a while, I think you would have taken him down a lot fast as that is better for single traget dmg.
I think this is a great idea and it really covers off everyones objectives. We are killing more which expands the end game content, more loot drops for us which everyone wants. A nice little addition ofr both of us is well is the implications for the RMAH. More good loot drops = more items for sale of high quality on the RMAH = Lower prices because there is more supply on the market. This also makes Blizzard happy because it can potentially mean more trades on the RMAH
I'm planning to quit my job before D3 is released. It's a dead end job anyway and I've been planning to quit for a while, have some money stored up so that I can go a few months without having to work. Think the right time to quit is when D3 comes out.
Respect - on so many levels. I love the foresight to save up as well, not a lot of people would do that. If your going to quit good to have something to keep you occupied and D3 will definitely do that.
Also just throwing it out there, maybe make a new interim career selling stuff on the RMAH? haha
I probably will not take time off... I have a big boy job... and they probably won't be happy about me taking work off for a video game...
I also have a "big boy job" (CA in public practice auditing) and I agree they wouldn't be too happy, which is why I'm not telling them the reason for the vacation as I don't need to, its my discretion what I take my vacation for. Plus with 100+ hours of OT I've worked since January it will go towards that. I totally get not wanting to tell your boss though, but I would just leave it out.
Also don't take your job too seriously, work so you can live, dont live so you can work.
I just officially put in my vacation request for that week. I have a crazy schedule for that month, but as it turns out that is the one week I could possibly do it. Who else is with me?
I'm willing to give it until the 26th. I think at that point my patience is pretty much going to run out. This situation reminds me of a quote from a very good movie. "You know what I'm going to do about it? NOTHING! Because if I take it to small claims court, it will just drain 8 hours out of my life and you probably won't show up and even if I got the judgment you'd just stiff me anyway. So what I'm going to do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk, then bend over and take it up the tail pipe!"

Here is my build as I see it right now, nothing to serious and will probably need some more tunning but its what I have so far:
http://us.battle.net...YPSm!ZXh!YZaaaZ I call this the Frantic Wizard becasue it is based on freezing and slowing enemies and running around a lot. I find a like a lot of movement rather than standing still and spamming 3 or 4 buttons. I have forst nova and blizzard to slow enemies, blizzard is also my main AOE damager. I then have disentigrate and magic missle to finish of 1 or a couple ppl left over. I also put Archon in there to pop for difficult situations or boss fights.
I'm thinking the new class in the expansion will be based on a place we are going to visit as a result of the expansion. A couple years back wasn't there a lot of speculation about part of D3 visiting the homeland of the necromancers, but later blizz said that it didn't make it into the game? I don't have time to go back through all the blizz quotes but I remember one saying something around the lines of it was definitely a possibility for the expansion.
give the guy a break this will be lots of peoples first Diablo experience considering the last one came out over ten years ago.
Yeah.... I'm still one of the elitists that get annoyed at how blizzard lets anyone with a battle net account get beta. I really think you should have to have diablo 2 tied to your account for beta access (or at least a preorder).
I'm even more annoyed at all the forum noobs that came on this site just to gloat about getting beta (and have < 10 posts).
Because no of posts = being uber pro... right?
If you have Less than 25 posts and you come to this site within the last 3 days and mention that you got beta... get the fuck off this site. You do't ned to salt in our wounds. Alot of us having been checking this site daily... checking the oldtime blizzard.com site daily for diablo 3 news ... yet we don't get in because blizzard lets people that have never played diablo 3 opt in and get randomly selected (diluting the pool for thoe of use that have been truely obsessed with the game).
Its 3 seperate factors:
1.) You (not you specifically) never played diablo 1 or 2.
2.) You get beta and suddently you are on here talking about.
3.) All these beta wave noobs are spamming the forum with new threads asking the questions that have been answered repeatedly for the last 3 years.
I laugh at people like you.
I barely post, mostly browse to see whats going on every now and then. And YES, I finally got my copy of Beta today and I will rub it in your face. Does it mean since I barely post that I haven't played since Diablo 1? I've been gaming over 25 years - if anyone is a noob - it is you. I've been there since day one with Diablo 1, Hellfire, Diablo 2, and LoD - does that make me any better than the OP? No. Grow up, take a walk outside and calm down and show people common courtesy.
Oh and BTW, I am Loving Diablo 3 beta so far - just wish I didn't have to work 14 hours today but glad I got some time in before the maint. Even more glad knowing that you are raging that other people who you feel don't deserve to test beta have it and you don't. I'll name my next character after your forum name.
Awesome thank you very much for the help! I have a buddy that could help me build one so I might go that route, and it will be good to learn how to do it, really appreciate it :Thumbs Up:
So I badly need to upgrade my computer, I'm not going to post its specs in the fear of embarassing myself, but bottom line it needs to go. I want it to be able to run D3 really well of course, but also upcoming games which I'll probably get like Guild Wars 2.
I came across 2 different ones and since I don't know a lot about computers I thought I would get your guys opinion. So does anyone have any suggestions on which one is better for the price?

Good luck to everyone that entered!

1. Dell XPS 8300 Desktop

2. Alienware X51 Desktop
http://www.dell.com/...d=alienware-x51
i'm choosing between these two due to the discount I get on them because of the professional association I'm in.
