God damn necro...

Exactly my reaction when I saw the date

But I have to agree with the OP. I played this season every day for around 8 hours ( yeah I know ) , and I managed to reach g rift lvl 95 on my Crusader ...5 days? after the season started and I could of push it easily to 98 ( now 100 ) . I then made Barb , with all sets : T13 farm speed , push rift, z barb , ww barb and I can not see myself log in to play anymore.

Please reroll weapon dmg. Discipline is only a marginal overall dmg increase, while wep dmg is a lot stronger and stays consistent without dropping. One vault takes out everything you rerolled into if you opt for discipline. +2 discipline reroll should be reserved for when you are maximising out your stats, not trying to obtain a viable weapon.

The simulation I did for my gear with UE and 84 disc yields me ~1.74% dmg increase versus for another +2 discipline, versus ~4,1% dmg increase for 1440-1860 wep dmg. Obviously you'll need to get lucky to get high weapon dmg but it's overall worth more than +2 disc.

2 discipline is not worth it. it would be worth it if you gained 12, not 2.

84 to 86 disc 2.4% damage increase.

rerolling the base damage you can get up to 3.4k, which i think is more than 2.4%. something like 6-7% damage increase(this number might be wrong, but its definitely higher than 2.4%).

edit: 3.4k is closer to 8% damage increase. please tell me you didnt get 12 disc. and please get another bow with higher secondary

The Unhallowed Essence 6 pieces set says :

• Hatred generators, Vengeance attacks and Multishot deal 100% increased damage per point of Discipline the Demon Hunter currently has (6 pieces)

Meaning that 2 points of Discipline , increases your damage by 200%, while the weapon base damage will...increase with few % at best. d3planner seems to not take into consideration the set bonus.

EDIT: That if you have the Unhallowed set

Or you can also increase/change the stats a bit , but add # of use.

Exemple :

Primal Ancient Augmented Bottomless Hellfire Potion of Fear and of the Diamond

• (On use) Instantly restores 100% Life.
• Increases Resist All by 200 for 10 minutes
• Chance on use to summon a Hellfire minion who will fight for you for 10 minutes
• Reduces all resource costs by 6% for 10 minutes
• Increase Exp by 10% for 10 mins
• Holds 5 charges

Would also be nice , to have 3 *main* stats , such as Instantly restores 100% Life , Increases Resist All by 200 for 10 minutes & Chance on use to summon a Hellfire minion who will fight for you for 10 minutes. The remaining 2 options , to be random, from a pretty big list, such as : Reduce cooldown reduction by 5% for 10 mins - Increase STR(INT,DEX) by 500 for 10 mins - Increase Attack Speed by 5% for 10 mins ,etc. Yes, I know. Make them pretty rare and/or pretty hard to craft, but in this way the potions will be really unique and it will give a meaning to crafting, especially if it will vanish after 5 uses.

Are you the one from the photo ?

RUMOR: could also be a remastered version of Diablo II

http://www.gamezone.com/news/rumor-diablo-2-warcraft-3-remaster-in-development-diablo-4-might-be-an-mmo-3454710

The Production Director post makes it sound like a new game is in the works:

"Blizzard Entertainment is seeking a Production Director to bring the Diablo franchise into the future. We’re looking for a well-practiced producer, deeply familiar with the art of game development, our industry, and the AAA environment."

The details for the position include MMO experience, which suggests Diablo 4 will feature some MMO features. It's unclear how extensive the MMO themes will play into Diablo 4 (if the listing is indeed for Diablo 4).

• A passion/interest for developing online video games
• Massive multiplayer game development experience
• Strong knowledge of the software / game market and platforms

The Creative Director listing mentions the 'future' of the Diablo franchise, which kind of confirms Diablo 4.

From my research and observation it is enough to stay in the circle to got boosted

Wrong. It just needs to proc , that's all. You don't have to stay in the circle. If you see the circle anywhere in your screen, then you have the dmg increase, no matter where you stay.

^ not true, tested it right now on live solo.

Strange! Let's see the video ..

Quote from AtACarnivorus»

Only thing that can contribute to this is, that they had prepared more than only the Necromancer and just decided to drop the other ideas.

While I see where you guys are coming from, I didn't say Necro was a "last minute" work.

What I meant was that I think we should have got a bigger announcement ( including Necro ) , yet , a last call decision was to just show Necro , hence , the Necro video presentation, which from my point of view is not a good cinematic ( I mean the quality of it ) .

I mean they said this is a big announcement . When Blizzard says that, at least they present it like a big announcement. What we got was 40 seconds of ..pretty bad CGI and the rest some ... Necro game play. This is Blizzard after all , the most awesome company which makes CGI presentations (almost) insane.

That's why I said that this seems pretty rushed. I mean that video was made in...what? 1 week ? 2 maybe? Yet , they talked about this since .. several months.

So yeah! There are 2 things here ! One , they actually just have what we saw and nothing more , which is pretty bad if it's true , or .. something else!

With time we shall see

Well , I just re-watched the Necro trailer and .. from the look of it , I got the impression that this was a "rushed trailer" . I mean this actually is not up with the Blizzard quality of creating cinematics !

Maybe there was more to be announced , but they cut it down in the "last minute" , or maybe this is really what they .. worked on, I don't know. At first I was OK with what they announced, but now , when I kinda realize that Necro it's at least 7-8 months away , it's kinda .. meh!

Hopefully , with every season we will see a patch where they at least add/re-work Legendaries, Skills , etc !

Was the 20th anniversary, so if they "cut" a bigger announcement in the "last minute", then that's ... OK I guess, but if this is all they got for Diablo , oh well

So anyway , am I alone with this theory and that the Necro cinematic is not up to the Blizzard quality?

EDIT: Even Heroes of the Storm got 1 hero ...

oh wait! 2 actually
