Considering coming back for a few weeks this season, probably with 2 to 3 friends.
Haven't played D3 in a very long time and Im wondering whats the current meta regarding classes choice. Still using 1, 2 or even 3 supports? which DPS are really good ? Basically what are the good options for a 3-4 people group in HC ?
I must have missed something but I never really understood the hype for the Flayer. Sure, it's nice for Plague of Toads (all runes btw?), but man, a Doombringer with 20% phys dmg increase seems pretty sick for a pet build.
Now with the 2.0.5 hitting I read even more about leaving bats for a Flayer/Toad combo. Is there really a reason I should stop using my 2.2k DPS doombringer with 20% phys bonus to start using my 2.15k DPS Flayer ?
Forget the FS vs FA, zuni or not etc current debate, at the end of the day you have fetishes as your primary source of damage. Why would you not use a doombringer ?
I wanna try out Wiz. I currently have a WD set of gears (Zuni full set) and looted a decent helm I can use as Wiz. I have 200m to use to buy main + off hand, and possibly a head (altho it's probably not necessary). What kind of set/leg should I be looking at ? If that helps, let me specify that I play Hardcore.
Also some general thoughts? some builds you like for HC ?
During D3 vanilla, some classes were better than others at HC mode. Like WD & Barb being super popular whereas Wiz & DH could be prove to be tricky to play.
Like many peoples I took some times away from D3 and will make a come back with RoS, so quite simply, to those that experienced 2.0 and RoS beta, have change been made in a way that ALL heroes are more or less equally reliable in RoS ? What are your thoughts regarding what's hot and what's not for HC mode in RoS ?
Back to play some D3 after more than 6 months away from the game. Figured playing HC would be fun (actually payed some HC before I quit and loved it). Thing is, I have no idea what the game is like these days (like what skills/stats became good, what got nerfed etc) and I barely played Wiz softcore a year ago.
So yeah, gonna need a hand here
Given this is hardcore (starting from scratch, not 60 yet), what kind of builds/skills you like leveling ? what kind of endgame build ? Anything I should look/aim at items/stats/etc wise ?
Checked the video at 10 or 12 different moments (obv not gonna watch it all) and all i could see was Athene running arround never shooting an arrow, yelling jelly haters, and being obviously high on not sure what
1 - Regarding upgrades, I was thinking a ring to complete the set. When its done I could change weap to get a Skorn so I can spam slow but powerfull bears with MP regen bonus from set. Thoughts?
2 - Regarding uber bosses, my GF and I are both playing WD (hers has about the same quality of stuff as mine), no life steal/life on hit sadly. If we want to duo uber bosses, what MP you think is best for us? Haven't tried them yet. We usually farm in MP3 and go for MP4/5 (particulary in act 1) when we want to get keys.
OP, one of the reasons people are reading/posting here instead of the official forums is actually to avoid posters like you. Just saying.
Also, sorry to break it for you but it looks like some of your friends have been using the RMAH and just pretended they got lucky. 3 pieces of the set you want in a matter of days? Yeah, right.
I have about 10M right now, stuff on AH for another 10M
What do you think about The Witching Hour? it has some crit damage i'm lacking, and the atk speed is always nice.
At this point im wondering if its not the best upgrade I could get for ~20-30M.
Zuni body is nice but not a must have till i can't afford a 4th piece, and good zuni ring/mojo is really expensive..
Buying slightly better gems and changing the helm one is planned. Shouldn't be too expensive.
How is the zumi chest a great upgrade? I'm not logged in right now so can't double check but unless I missed something i'd "only" gain some all res + the all res bonus. Sitting on 400+ res right now I feel rather comfortable. Thoughts?
Now regarding the weapon, this is probably my next big investment when I can afford it (unless the set chest..). What about actually going for Skorn? I'd need to do some math but given how expensive good 1h with crit dmg + socket are, why not going for a Skorn ? I realize it would probably take a 1400 dps one with 300+ INT and good crit dmg.. No idea how compatible it is with my current gears though.. again, thoughts?
Edit: Oh and while i'm at it. Something really important that i've been wondering: How does the weapon displayed "dps" works vs INT ? In other words, let's say I give up on the 300 INT I have on my weapon, how much more pure dps do i have to gain to make it even? I'm guessing there must be some math but I have no idea how it works..
haven't played it in months, it's pretty much naked. Couple questions:
I'll have probably arround 50M to re-equip it completly (minus the necklace), is there any "must have" legendary/set item that is cheap enough on which i must really focus ? I feel like playing with two handed weapon (skorn i guess), don't wanna go WW.
Also, whats the kind of stat I must insist on? STR, VIT, crits and LoH I guess, so basically how much all res, LoH, crit dmg and crit chance should i aim at? I obviously want it to be good enough to comfortably farm inferno. I know 50M aint much these days but its my understanding that all the items that are great but not godlike/BiS are rather cheap these days..
Some thoughts would be helpfull !

Hello guys,
Considering coming back for a few weeks this season, probably with 2 to 3 friends.
Haven't played D3 in a very long time and Im wondering whats the current meta regarding classes choice. Still using 1, 2 or even 3 supports? which DPS are really good ? Basically what are the good options for a 3-4 people group in HC ?
Thanks in advance !
Please take good note that
- "ZOMGZ IM DRUNK LOOK AT ME IM SO COOL" video
Followed by comments such as
"you mad? you jelly?" as well as finishing your sentences with "as fuck" does NOT make you one of the cool kids. It's the other way around, really.
Edit- Damn, your use of "Dat" deserved a mention too
Now with the 2.0.5 hitting I read even more about leaving bats for a Flayer/Toad combo. Is there really a reason I should stop using my 2.2k DPS doombringer with 20% phys bonus to start using my 2.15k DPS Flayer ?

Thanks a lot in advance, wise wizzies !

What are your thoughts regarding what's hot and what's not for HC mode in RoS ?
+55 Strengh
+136 Vitality
Crit hit dmg 26%
Crit hit chance 5%
Magice Find +20%
Thoughts and perhaps offer ?
So yeah, gonna need a hand here
Given this is hardcore (starting from scratch, not 60 yet), what kind of builds/skills you like leveling ? what kind of endgame build ? Anything I should look/aim at items/stats/etc wise ?
I could use any usefull inputs really !
Thanks in advance guys
did i miss much ?
And now a couple questions:
1 - Regarding upgrades, I was thinking a ring to complete the set. When its done I could change weap to get a Skorn so I can spam slow but powerfull bears with MP regen bonus from set. Thoughts?
2 - Regarding uber bosses, my GF and I are both playing WD (hers has about the same quality of stuff as mine), no life steal/life on hit sadly. If we want to duo uber bosses, what MP you think is best for us? Haven't tried them yet. We usually farm in MP3 and go for MP4/5 (particulary in act 1) when we want to get keys.
Would be nice to get some feedbacks!

Been a while I didn't go shopping for my WD. What's good? whats decent? what's terribad? Where would you invest and with what if you had ~40-50M?
Would appreciate some thoughts!
I'll have probably arround 50M to re-equip it completly (minus the necklace), is there any "must have" legendary/set item that is cheap enough on which i must really focus ? I feel like playing with two handed weapon (skorn i guess), don't wanna go WW.
