I found a Nat's that rolled cold damage. I'm running the passive to deal 20% extra damage to slowed targets. I know cold damage used to automatically slow targets, but I'm not noticing it slowing anything now. Did they remove that functionality from that particular affix?
A few of my friends started playing D3 again, and so I stated tagging along. I had been keeping up with the changes to the game, for the most part, but it has been a long time since I was last playing and my demon hunter is still in full glass cannon mode. I see videos and such and players talking about putting some resistance up and not fully focusing so much on brute force, but I honestly do not know where to begin.
I only have about 600k at present, so my spending budget is not high. Below is a link to my Armory profile.
What should I do for gear changes, first of all? As you can see, my resistance is next to nothing. Reflect Damage kills me in a matter of seconds right now with my new shot selection of Ball Lightning. I tried running Shadow Power but in my current gear, it still wasn't making much of a dent in my survivability. I would simply get 2-shot rather than instagibbed by mobs running with my friends on MP 5-6. I know I should probably be running around 400 or so resistances, but I honestly do not know what pieces of my gear I should replace and what I should be going for statswise in their stead.
Secondly, what about my build? Does it seem fine? I'm running the ferrets right now just to try and get some gold increase, since my total is so low. Once I have resistance, do I switch to Shadow Power and leave everything else the same? Are my shot selections fine? What about passives, if I change my gear a bit should I change those, as well?
Geez, dude, this ring gonna be just like Staff for ponny land, and its boa too.
I kinda have to go with what this guy said. The only difference here is this is gear. Really, when you break it down, everything you get is "BoA" because your Stash is universally shared to begin with. They just made it so you can't farm these up to sell them. If anything, this makes the idea of these rings sound more interesting to me. Rather than doing it for cash, I'm doing it for myself.
I haven't leveled one yet, but the pets make WD sound somewhat interesting to me (especially now with their buffs). In WoW, having a pet was the main thing that drew me to hunter when I started playing, and pet battles in MoP. I just like the idea of pets!
I'm under the assumption that each level will add an extra 10% to total health and damage. So, in essence, ML 10 would be double damage and double health.
If we're just talking Inferno, I don't think I would be scaling up very much. I would probably scale up a bit more for things like Act 1, but scale back down for things like Act 3. I'm looking at Act 3 as probably a ML 3 to start, if my previous assumption on how much it adds ends up being correct.
However, for things like normal and nightmare, I'll be going at least double that. It will be nice to have the extra challenge even in the lower level ranges. That should make the experience of leveling less boring.
Isn't everything in this game "BoA" in the first place? I mean, I know all my characters have access to my stash.
On a different note for the same concept, though, I actually LOVE the "cannot be traded" call. For the first time in this game's short lifespan, there's a reason to farm for something and the reason isn't to sell it. Good call.
I actually find it less boring than I did a few weeks ago before the patch. I've already found two very nice upgrades for my demon hunter since 1.0.4 came out. That's more than I had found for my demon hunter and my barbarian combined in the previous two months of playing before the patch.
I'm just curious, how can anyone say that "most people aren't playing anymore" when most people play solo in the first place?
I mean, the number of people using the public game format int he first place was kinda small from day 1. It's kinda hard to tell how many are still logging in and playing when you can't see how many people are actively online.
Everyone should keep in mind this was just a preview of changes, and not the entire list. They just gave us some ideas they have, but there's likely to be so much more.
Calm down and wait. We've only got a couple of weeks, guys. I'm sure things will look nice.
I'm gonna be honest. I'm wondering what kind of world we live in when someone has to have the word "civil" defined to them.
I mean, you don't talk to people outside of a forum the same way you do to people on it, do you? THAT is civil. Pretend that guy making that post before you that you just quoted is, you know, an actual person. Because they ARE an actual person.
That's not really that hard.
On topic, though, how can a game that has minimal group play and no subscription requirement be "dead"? While I have my gripes about the game, and I have certainly slowed to a near stop in playing it, I wouldn't say the game is dead. It wasn't really alive in the first place, considering that most of it was spent solo.
That's like saying Final Fantasy 7 is dead because way fewer people are buying it.
It's basically just a major nerf of mobs, and buff of drops..
All the problems with missing end-game etc haven't been addressed.. There is NOTHING positive in v1.0.4, so far..
Maybe some of us haven't actually killed Diablo on Inferno yet. I'm on Act 4, but I just can't bring myself to keep going. This future patch makes me a bit more excited to try and make that final push forward.
I don't need to prove to you, or anyone else for that matter, that God exists. Religion is a belief and a choice. I choose to believe that God exists. It's called faith for a reason.
You can lack that sort of belief all you want. I won't stop you. However, your attempts to sway me of my conviction to my faith will not work, either.
I made my choice to be a Christian. You made your choice not to be. Just like any choices either of us makes in life, neither are going to be affected by the other. So, beyond that fact of logic...why even care in the first place? I don't care if you're an Atheist. Stop being so concerned that I'm a Christian.
