"The Barber
Those of you who have been testing The Barber have seen this item jump from flat out not-functioning to most certainly over-performing. We suspect that the damage on this item is a tad high (particularly when using the Phantasm rune), so we're removing the damage bonus granted by the final explosion. There were also some pretty funky interactions occurring with Phantasm that caused some scaling issues, and we'll be correcting those.
now would be a good time (if you are a serious full time 0 dogger like me) to get maximum -second rolls on all jewelry and your helmet turk! i'd have been able to make that homunculus work.
yeah man, for sure. it wasnt a direct attack on "turk sucks at 0 dog" it was more of "even turk has low dps as 0 dog".
dont worry man, i already know
would be nice to see you get a new homunc. then we could really get to testing.
good posts all around. been reading diablofans pre 2008. im the type of guy that checks this page immediately upon waking up.. made a few posts now and again.
jaetech, after watching the video you shared it seems there may be some hope for us after all...even if it does end up being a "last highlander" kinda thing. ive been watching turks stream (as i have for quite some time) but thought his damage just wasnt there. seeing the 10mil crits is a little more relieving so....maybe today will be a good day tiorelax and think about stuff. i will be talking about it on my stream (twitch.tv/ogrelolofdarkspear) throughout the afternoon.
i had a really cool idea for a non traditional 0 dog build, using next of kin rune to "proc" free dogs. made for a really fun and exciting gameplay. instead of mindlessly spamming dogs, you get to see and try to maximize dps by seeing how many procs you get with the on kill effects from various spells (grasp confusion voodoo passive etc). plays like "do i sacrifice the 4 dogs that proc'd or summon again and blow up 5?" and it A LOT of fun. would have been cool to test with 5 dogs, as i was able to get up to 30 on iskatu (facilitated mob density) without having access to 70 content. video of me blowing up 30 dogs is on my stream channel. watch me blow up 16 here in the VERY FIRST actual test of the build. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUL7Jzd9Tz0&feature=youtu.bei got it to work and may or may not have weeped a small tear of joy and satisfaction. had to wait for ptr because on live you cant spawn more than 4 dogs...i spent over 6 months theorycrafting it out, trying to decide everything from corner positioning tactics to formulae for dps calculations of (easy example again) do i blow up the 4 that proc'd or resummon 5? is my ias high enough to do that? do i need less ias and bigger dmg? my build you can hold sacrifice for small bursts of damage my build burst +/- orignal 0 dog sustain with autoheal. basically im trying to make the game harder, and more fun. already stopped playing with lifesteal on live.
ps - the new homunculus is absolutely THRILLING.
psps - jae i want to personally thank you for running around and posting this info. ive watched you post it on live forums and now here as well. i just wanted to say one thing - id totally love nothing more than for a 0 dog set to exist in the game but i see two problems there. one problem is we wont be able to incorporate new legendary items (cool random effects to make 0 dog more interesting) because we will HAVE to stack the set. my second issue is....with NO TRADING i will more than likely NEVER complete such a set. not to beat a dead horse here...but one of my main "death of 0 dog in ros" points is that even right now without trading or the AH, no player would ever have been able to run a 0 dog rig. ive played for literally two years straight just about every day since release, never found a single 0 dog item. not one. just went back and watched my video and im SADDDD :((((((
tldr - im watching and waiting but WONT be buying RoS on release day. call me a nerd but i dont play any games except diablo...literally. im not a gamer...im a diablo player and have been for over 10 years. with as little drama as possible i wont be playing anything at all if RoS is a flop. end of an era and time to grow up it seems.

i traded with people for 10 years in diablo 2, and 2 years in diablo 3. tell me again how taking away a massive aspect of the game is ok?
had it with you account bound fan boys. you dont get it - when you stop playing after 3 weeks ill have 1000000 build ideas to follow through with - but the items will never drop for me. makes no sense.
even if 0 dog gear was available for ros, youd never ever complete the set required lmfao
are you guys retarded? this wasnt a troll post at all, it was a dedication to heyguyslol (one of the original 0 doggers) who has quit diablo 3 because the build will no longer work.
in case you guys missed the boat, but the build wont work in RoS unless you bring the gear, and even then only poorly.
sorry you guys cant handle a lille nostalgia

the new 0 dog ringthe new homunculus/ pickup radius buffs to passives
the fact that i will be using a "next of kin" rune in my 0 dog build to sacrifice many dogs in succession
plus since we only need one slot (ring) to achieve 0 dog now - think of all the legendary items we can use within the build.
anyone else been theorycrafting builds up like crazy? once again...only thing that really sucks is we cant trade.
0 dog seems fixed??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?
so many gear options now with that new ring. SO MANY GEAR OPTIONS!!!!!!
i might buy RoS if they lift account bound now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
