I forgot one question.
What is the DH's resource system and how does it work?
If you read one of the interview with Jay, he states that they don't have the DH's resource system decided on yet. He said they have a few options on the table but have not decided on anything yet. Right now she uses mana for the demo but that is going to change. I'll try to find the link to the interview.
I undersand your feelings jack00 because i hate when there is one perfect item and one perfect build for each character because then everyone starts to look the same which is not the fun. Luckily for us i remember in one of the blizzcon panels, i can't remember which one, they specifically address this issue. Again don't quote me on this, but i remember them saying something about they don't want uniques to be the best item for every slot, and that they want rare and magic items to be on par or better than uniques for certain equipment slots.
so, my Clay Golem now has 20,000 HP. is that a bug? i remember vaguely that i still had 9,000 HP and i put in another point into CG, and equipped annihilus. then eventually 1-2 levels later i noticed that he had 17,000 HP.
It may not be a bug, what difficulty are you seeing the 20k hp in, hell? If so that is entirely possible. I have gotten like 10 k in normal with about 38 points in clay golem and 18 points in golem mastery. Just go check a look at the skill calc to confirm if you want. I know the life of the summons increase in higher difficulty so 20k may be entirely possible.
Summons have a life cap if they reach over the cap they will have a life of 1 and be killed quickly. I do not recall if this can happen in regular D2. I have experienced it in many mods.
I have never had problems with summons going over the hp cap. I have had clay golems with over 10k hp.
The summonmancer has always been my favorite build and the character i like to play the most. All the skill choices you have chosen so far i would have picked myself, with the exception of fire, blood, and iron golem. I would recommend you place all of your remaining points in clay golem and one point in decryptify, if you don'y already have it.
I love clay golem because it is the perfect tank, a large amount of hp and it will slow down any enemy it hits, the %slow increasing with level. Combine the slow from the golem plus the slow from decriptify, which stacks, and most bosses will only get in one attack every few seconds. This will gives your skeletal hordes ample time to kill even Hell difficulty bosses. Hope this helps.
I fully expect D3 to have clan support. I just hope it doesn't have restrictions such as needing X amount of players to start one. Myself and a few other close friends plan to play this game when it comes out so if we could all be in a small clan together that is interfaced directly into the game that would be great.
I think it is a great idea. I always thought it would be cool that if you completed an entire set, say Tal Rasha's for example, that you should have an ability to become an avatar of him, abet on a long cool down and kick some major ass. In D2 sets were cool but there was no real reason to complete them all as there was always one or two slots where uniques were vastly superior.
Using chrome here and no background lag for me. I love the new back round but if it causes people to lag that is unfortunate. I hope this is just a symptom of the age of the background and the lag issue will resolve its self ones it background matures.
Honestly, I never really liked the MF system and hope it does not re appear in D3. The idea of you need really good gear with lots of MF on it to get really good gear just seems like an odd concept to me. However who knows if the system in D3 will be anything like D2 and I usually trust blizzard with such decisions to make the game the best possible.
I almost went, had tickets and everything, however I couldn't go due to my job. Was a really sad day for me but a really happy day for my friend to whom i gave my ticket to.
Hello Diablo fans community. I have to admit that I have been stalking all of you for the past week or so and must admit I am very impressed by the community you have here. This must be one of the most well mannered and well run fan sites I have ever seen. I have never actually registered at any other forums or fan site before because the conversation to often devolves into trolling and an overall environment that I never wanted to be a part of; but I can see this place is different. The Diablo series has always held a special place in my heart so I have decided to stop lucking in the shadows and join the community. I still play Diablo 2 and am looking forward to patch 1.13 and chatting about the upcoming blizzcon and Diablo 3.
