I just see no value or fun in starting from ZERO.

I am sure other people do, but i do not.

Stash space is mandatory - especially when you have 1 of each class, and each of them has a set or two.

The current amount of stash space is beyond too little... having 5 tabs PER CHARACTER would be more sensible than what we got today.

I do not like anything that the Seasonal playstyle is offering... in fact, i detest it.

I do not see any reason to hide a mandatory Quality of Life upgrade (such as Stash space) behind content that is so specific and niche.

I see the point and agreed, that is unfortunate. Playing just one season though should be enough to see the benefits in non-season.

So you know, stash tabs transfer to non-season right?

He is not talking about this. Its the fact that you need to play seasons to even get them.

@OP: I'm in the same boat. I hate seasons and now it looks like they are forcing us to play seasons for this... Why couldn't they just make them 100b each.

Blizz quote: "we’re also adding a way for players to earn additional Stash tabs, up to a maximum of 10, through our Season Journey feature."

It is a recent quote from blizzcon, and anything can change until release, but this way of thinking is incredibly bad and completely wrong (imo).

I am not a fan of the entire season thing, i do not like re-leveling over and over and competing for some epeen points on a ladder.

I like using my old characters that i have played on since d3 released, no point or interest for me in making a new one for the "season".

But what i do need is some damn stash space, especially since ALL d3 chars share the same tiny bank (who thought of that idea!?).

As someone that really hates the seasonal thing and i definitely do not want to do it - i can not gain any more stash tabs aside from the pitiful 1 i can buy with gold?

I do not understand why do only "seasonal" players need the extra stash space, while us non-seasonal players flat out can't get more than 1 tab?

I understand they are trying to motivate ppl to do seasonal content, but forcing people into it just for some mandatory UI (stash) upgrades is awful.

Stash space is something very useful to ANY d3 player, regardless of seasonal or not... makes no sense to screw over non-seasonal players.

D3 has by far the worst bag management i have seen in any game since 2005., and this "seasonal players only" thing is definitely NOT helping...

Why is paragon this important to you?

Are you competing for the "top 5 best monster slayers" so you really need those 0.0001% improvements that you get for a paragon level?

Or do you just like having some bar to fill up, out of some compulsory need for visual progress or something?

I honestly completely ignore paragon levels.

Every 10 or 15 gained levels i actually remember they exist, so i slap the points wherever the guide told me to.

Never have i cared about paragon levels or even bothered to farm for them.

If you are playing d3 so extremely competitively that ultra-high paragon is something absolutely mandatory, i really don't know what to tell you.

We are just playing completely different games...

How do you fellas want blizzard to ban HIM directly?

Through his DNA absorbed through the keyboard and teleported to blizz HQ?

Or have a crack team of spies monitoring his physical location for a new diablo 3 account?

The biggest penalty a gaming company can inflict is ban your account.

They can NOT ban your IP or your PCs MAC, and even that kind of a ban can be circumvented with various software/hardware.

The only greater penalty could have been banning ALL of blizzard games on that account - if he even had other games on that account.

But i don't think blizzard bans you from ALL of their games if you cheat in one of them.

There is a big difference between "people will never have enough bank space" and an actual problem with bank space.

D3 has an actual problem with space in the bank, because many reagents/gems/items are a "real" item instead of "virtual" currency, like gold.

The 2.3 features will greatly help with that, since we wont have to store various situational legendaries anymore (extract power).

But still it would be a significant improvement if we could double our bank space for a high gold price.

D3's bank system feels way too underdeveloped.

Comparing to WoW, D3 has a lot more gear and crap to store.

And comparing to WoW, you can have about the same number of characters (on a server).

But in diablo3 you get less bank space for ALL your chars, than one char in WOW gets just for himself...

My WDoctor has the Wormwood staff (Jade Harvester), since i don't have the Furnace weapon.

It's passives are really good and make farming easier so i am unwilling to give it up.

But i got my first Wormwood when i hit 70 (some torment difficulty) and it only has 1800 DPS.

Since then i have never seen another Wormwood, which to me is strange since it is supposedly a very common drop?!

Other legendary weapons that drop have over 130% (4000DPS) higher weapon damage than my current Wormwood.

So i am really really unhappy with WWood's damage, but i don't want to replace it due to it's amazing passives.

Is there any easier way to get more Wormwood staff drops, since some guides state getting it is easy (but they dont specify how)?

Is it possible that ALL Wormwood staves are limited to doing very low weapon damage?

Awesome, thank you all for replying and explaining it (over and over) until i understood

If anyone wishes to add their own explanation they are still welcome.

It doesn't affect it directly, but it will affect things indirectly because it is increasing your weapon damage.

The element type for the +damage on your weapon is irrelevant for nearly all skills. If i recall, it still does affect some things like being able to proc elemental exposure for a wizard, but largely its just a holdover from vanilla d3 that could be simplified into a simple +damage roll for the weapon without element modifier.

That is to say, if you had a 100 damage weapon and had +50 to poison on that weapon, your locust swarm would consider your weapon damage to be 150. If instead you had +50 arcane damage it would still treat your weapon damage as 150. And in both cases the element type applied by the skill (that is to say, what +% element gear would affect it) would depend solely on the skill/rune combo you use.

The magnitude of +damage matters enormously. The element type of +damage only matters in a few very specific scenarios (of which locust swarm would not be one).

But, if i am understanding it right, you are claiming the opposite of what Vladimeir stated: "In short: No, it doesn't affect locust swarm."

You say that +damage (regardless of elemental type, or non-elemental) WILL increase my Locust Swarm damage?

So if Locust Swarm does 1000% weapon damage (in total), my weapon's 1000 base dmg and it's +1000 bonus (elemental or non-elemental) damage will be calculated as total 2000 damage for the Locust Swarm to multiply by 1000%?

Good question but no clue how many PTR/Beta testers (of the 2.3 patch) are around these forums AND have tested such a situation.

Quote from Vladimeir jumpSkills are calculated weapon damage first -> skill modifier -> additional modifier (elite damage or elemental damage)The +damage affix only affects the weapon damage calculation (or weapon dps.) After that, it is irrelevant.

In short: No, it doesn't affect locust swarm.

So even if my weapon has the "black" damage bonus which just states "+100-125 damage" (without any specific element) - it still does NOT affect my Locust Swarm, neither Frenzy (barb), nor Whirlwind?

Quote from 386DX40»

it doesn't matter what kind of weapon dmg you have.

All activ skill has corresponding elemental dmg.

If you use a skill with poison dmg, all +dmg on your gear will change to that element.

Thank you for replying, but will a skill like Locust Swarm even benefit from +damage on the weapon?

If my weapon has 1000 average weapon damage and +1000 poison (elemental) damage - what will my Locust Swarm benefit from?
