Whirlwind will hit more frequently the more attacks per second you have.

Dat Barb video. Hype level increased even more than thought possible.

Jay Wilson has actually said himself (on his Twitter) that DarkD3 is not a cheat and should not get you banned as long as it remains not a cheat.


Personally I'm gonna go through once without it, and then start using just the sharpening feature of it. If they say one way or another it's allowed or not, then even better.

I think taking down Inferno is going to rely on a lot more than just what buttons you have to press. It's going to be majorly your skill level, and less majorly what gear you have. There's probably hundreds of thousands of builds that someone with excellent skill and sufficient gear could use to complete Inferno.

Don't worry so much about it.

I'm confused as to what you're getting worked up about. I've not seen one person in this thread say that PvP should go die in a hole. Are you just ranting? I mean, if you are it's OK, but a little clarification would be nice. You're just preaching to the choir here. We all like PvM and PvP.

You cannot play the same license at the same time on two different computers, or even the same computer. If you want to play at the same time you'll need to purchase two copies of the game, since each copy comes with a unique CD key that you permanently enter into your Battle.Net account, which you use to log in to the game servers.

You could play at separate times using the same account, though. I'm not sure what Blizzard's official stance is on account sharing, but I think as long as you're the same "family" then they don't really care if you share. Sharing is obviously not allowed amongst, for example, 10 different people.

EDIT: The official word is that you are not allowed to share accounts, unless it's the parent/guardian of a child under 18 allowing their child to use the account instead of them. So technically it's against the rules, but just don't let them catch you.

I would say that DII was closer to DI than DIII, and DIII is closer to DII than it is to DI. That doesn't make any game bad, or any less of a sequel or continuation of the Diablo line though.

In DI you have a very basic game. Limited skills, slow movement, you go into the cathedral and kill demons floor by floor.

DII evolves that into a better game. Tons more skills, richer gameplay, longer, bigger world to explore, more classes, and you still kill demons.

DIII then evolves even more from DII. Way better graphics than the previous games, more complex combat, three times as many skills on your bar at any given moment, supported PvP, but it's still the same Diablo game style that made it so popular: go and kill demons and receive loot.

That's why I would say no game is more of a sequel than the other. They're all just evolutions of the same game to make the best Diablo possible.

Ugh. I couldn't disagree more on what they said regarding the Skill UI changes.

After we made the changes and we played it we said 'Wow, this feels so much better. I'm really glad we made the changes.'

Nope. Old one was much better. Doesn't take up your whole screen and make you flip through 4 pages to find the skill you want.

Before you could open your skills, click a skill without flipping 4 pages, and be done.

He was referring to itemized runes vs new system. I think at the end they conceded about how people complained about the skills UI, so I'm hopeful we'll see improvements to it. Perhaps they just rushed it to get it out so fast... but hey, they said they look at the trends... and there's been 2 big trends: Skills UI fails, and Battle.net fails. So we'll see eh?

No, the talk of the itemized runes vs. rune UI comes immediately after. What I quoted was Jason Regier talking about the new skill UI vs. the old skill UI.

And I hope you're right about them actually watching the trends of what we don't like. I really want the old skill UI back.

Hey folks,

Just thought I'd share my new iPhone app for Diablo 3. Allows you to create and edit character profiles as well as items on your iPhone. I put a lot of work into this, so I hope you guys find it useful. Any feedback is welcome!

I'm new to the forum and can't post a link to it, so you can just search for "Hero Stats for Diablo 3" in the app store to get it. Maybe if a forum goer here likes it, they will post a link to it in this thread.

It's completely free and ad-free as well. Enjoy!

Uniques (purple mobs) that aren't bosses usually don't drop loot anymore. I think this may only apply to the ones that always spawn in the same place in certain areas, like at the entrance to the Waterlogged passage in Act 2 (used to be a rare, yellow, now changed to unique that drops nothing).

From another post about a Barb build someone commented that Frenzy does more damage than Bash.

Well I did some math on Frenzy+Maniac Vs Bash+Onslaught.

Comparing these 2 skills has to count the total number of attacks for each Skill within the same amount of time. Using anything less than 1 attack (.15% of an attack for example) for calculations in inaccurate. Using IAS (Increased Attack Speed) is also inaccurate.

This is what I came up with..... and I think its pretty accurate.
_____________________________________________________




1 sec - 110%
.85 sec - 114% -- (224%)
.70 sec - 118% -- (342%)
.55 sec - 122% -- (464% -- 3.1 sec -- Bash has done 582%, striking 3 times Vs Frenzy's 4)
.40 sec - 126% -- (590% -- 3.5 sec -- At this point Frenzy has struck again before Bash can)
.25 sec - 130% -- (720% -- 3.75 sec -- Frenzy has stuck a 2nd time before Bash can)
.25 sec - 130% -- (850% -- 4 sec -- Bash has now Hit for 194%, much less than Frenzy's 130% however, Frenzy has struck a total of 3 times more in the same amount of time, resulting in more damage being done)

Total Damage in 4 seconds = 850%

Damage in the following 4 seconds once Frenzy has stacked is as follows. Total = 2080%
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520

Total Damage in 8 seconds = 2930%
_______________________________________________


1 sec - 194%
1 sec - 194% -- 388%
1 sec - 194% -- 582%
1 sec - 194% -- 776%

Total Damage in 4 seconds = 776%
Total Damage in 8 seconds = 1552% (damage simply doubled, no modifiers applicable)

_______________________________________________

What this basically means, is that unless an enemy is destroyed by Bash+Onslaught in 3 strikes or less, Frenzy+Maniac does more damage.
