very good points, and i think that solution would make the skill much more usable. (plus the hydras should shoot a tad faster, they're much easier to dodge then a sins trap)

i actually made a hydra sorc because of the buff, but it quickly turned into a fball sorc just because of that point - hydra still isnt a realistic high level skill.

Congrats on the key, if you're looking for someone to play with my account is Flobernoggin.ftw

I've always had a hard time deciding between SC and Diablo. i tend to go for Diablo first, but after getting to a high level and good gear i get bored and try SC for a while. Then SC takes over for a few months, and my Diablo characters expire

Although i must say, i got a beta key less then a week ago, and I've played almost 150 games of SC2
And once there's a common good map like SC1's Fastest Possible, and Zero Clutter, and UMS games set up its gonna take a lot to get people to switch between games. (not to say people wont buy both)

im on east and got no friends yet either, if you want add me - flobernoggin

I would, but got no1 strong enough.

i typically find though if you can find 1 or a few people doing andy or w/e typically 1 will get a char that can rush or a nice high level will join.

i generally doesnt take me very long, just need to find the right group

Famas - silencer + red dot
Ranger - akimbo + fmj

claymore
flash

bling
cold blooded
ninja

Yea, a shield with other stats is definately ideal. Although if you do go for the 4x ist shield, unless your already getting high str, get a shield with lower str requirements

/f a *username to add them, and /f L to see your list of current friends

(and i cant remember for sure if the * is required or not)

perhaps a "half-breed"? not fully converted demon.

or a "spirit", or other non-human class

or maybe even a young class, like a .... "sacrificial child", could be fast like monk with more ranged attacks cuz hes so small and weak

i think a 4 player cap is about right, maybe up to 6, but its definitely within reason. i dont remember many times playing a game with 8 people doing the same thing and going for the common goal.

have too many people in a game sort of lets people go off and do their own thing or split into smaller groups. With a big part of d3 being cooperative i think the 4 player cap will help with keeping players together.

Zerg: mutas - how many have lost mains to them?
Protoss: Zealot - with speed upgrade they're crazy!
Terran: Wraith - big group of invisible flying machines ftw!

with there being a max 4 players/game, there wouldnt be enough need for a healing class. even in d2 where theres ?7? in a game i dont see it needed there. If it was like all those other games where you can have HUGE groups participating then i could see it. but i just dont see a need with so few people playing at once.

plus the health globes should be enough.

i dont go on the blizz forums, so could some1 who does possibly ask bashiok if there could be a possibility of buying maps for different places as to deter people from using a maphack.
