Since legendaries/rares have a higher number affixes, rares/legendaries will always be better, but when leveling up you cant afford to be picky

Just to show you what we mean, when maxing out a stat (example from D2), where blue would always be better then rare (if you want MAX of this particular stat, and don't care about anything else):

+ Resist all
Shimmering +3-7% to each Resistance Shields(6), Amulets(8), Circlets(8), Rings(45)
Rainbow +8-11% to each Resistance Shields(18), Amulets(21), Circlets(21), Rings(56)
Scintillating +12-15% to each Resistance Shields(28), Amulets(34), Circlets(34), Rings(67)
Prismatic +16-20% to each Resistance Shields(39), Amulets(42), Circlets(42)
Chromatic +21-30% to each Resistance Shields(50), Amulets(55), Circlets(55)

So if you wanted a ring with resist all 15%, it had to be magical, couldn't be rare.

Shows better on:

Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
Felicitous 5-10% Better Chance of Getting Magic Item Amulets(5), Circlets(5), Rings(5)
Fortuitous 11-15% Better Chance of Getting Magic Item Amulets(12), Circlets(12), Rings(12)

Let's pretend that this was the only way to get MF, in that case you could get 50% more MF (comparing 15% vs 10%, not their sums) if you just used blue amulets, circlets and rings, instead of rare ones.

But as I said at the top, in general Legendary > Set > Rare > Magical, assuming you are not trying to max something specific or one has rolled a few maxed affixes that you are rating a lot higher then others.

Edit: P.S. I never did find a perfect Fortuitous ring of Fortune... 40% MF... /drool...
Edit2: Just adding link to Arreat Summit, where I got all my D2 info from ^^

You know, I've had Oblivion, Skyrim, Torchlight, etc., since they came about. I can't remember a single mod in any of them that was really worth my time.

LOL, shows how much you know. Bethesda games in their vanilla state are next to unplayable (other than the first, quick playthrough).

im sorry to tell you that none of those things increase like they did in D2.

the ONLY thing that changes from solo to co-op is monster HP and monster Damage. that is all. the drops, chance of drops, amount of monsters and gold do not increase at all. it was made this way to avoid making co-op the end-all for item hunting.

also unless you have a group of friends to play with, playing solo will yield better farming because your MF/GF isnt averaged out between the group and you'd be able to kill faster since monster hp is increased by 110% PER person who joins in Inferno and damage by 15% per person also. (it was 6.25% dmg increase in Diablo 2 per person)

Hmmm.. It's a 75% increase in health afaik? Or is that just < Inferno?

Silly boys, just like my CE, you can look but you can't touch! x

It's not like I would want to touch.
I mean, you're probably an awesome girl and everything, with pretty face and sexy body. On top of that a gamer. Probably even real dirty in bed.
But in case you didn't notice. Diablo 3 is coming out in less than 2 days. There are demons invading our lands that require my attention and real girls will have to wait.
But expect me in a month or so.

what is your problem revelations?

There is no problem. It's all fun and games. Don't tell me you don't talk dirty to hot girls.

Oh and by the way, it's "Revelations".

lol, say that... Next minute she might be an underage girl. Then BAM! Your face --->

It's ok, you can most of the time see when a girl is below 15 years of age... and 15 is legal here in Sweden ^.-

And hopefully she'll blow her rape whistle.

I'll even buy her one >_>

Haha, no one said anything about rape
Actually I never touched anything below 20... even worked at a school where I had to fend off a whole lot of 14-15 year old girls. One even told me "it's ok, when you turn 30 I will be 19".

Quote from Shinjed

In my case I won't be able to play until a bit after 10 AM on the 15th so I won't be able to start right at midnight but it's nothing major in my case, atleast I'll be enjoying my CE of D3 xD

Sucks about your PC though, what happened to it?

Quote from Benj2284

From my brief experience in the beta I was using two blue 1hand xbows over rare xbows i found because the blues had higher damage modifiers. With enough farming though you will probably come across a rare with equal damage and more stats (hatred regen/vitality/agi) to make it way better than the blues.

Quote from Riesza

D2 had a lot more uniques. And because D2 worked differently, half of the seemingly lower level uniques were still useful at "max" level. That's not the case in D3. 1-2 60 legendaries is a joke and this better not be all of them.

Alright. So. A lot of people seem to have this idea. That's because when they think of Diablo II, they think of it as it is right now. Not 12 years ago when it was first released.

When Diablo II was first released it had 124 Uniques. That's it. D3 is releasing with twice that amount.

Can we please stop whining and complaining and just be thankful we have a game to play?

I'm not going to be lazy and just be "thankful we have a game to play". If I just wanted any game to play, I'd play any of the new wannabe diablo games that all suck like Torchlight. I expect more from Diablo.

The problem arises from the way they've done ability scaling off of weapon damage. In D2, there were many different viable options of weapons to use, some helped your defense, some + to skills, some with interesting special attributes. Most of them didn't impact damage a whole lot, so you had freedom and enjoyment of collecting different equipment.

Now, with ability damage scaling off of weapon damage, the only weapon you are going to want is the high level one 9 times outta 10. With there only being a couple level 60 weapons, that is what every single player is going to be using/trying to get. This is the WoW model of gear, and it is horrible D3 has fallen into this system. It doesn't matter that the class has maybe 15 unique weapons, if 14 of them are obsolete at max level.
