When you take away the ability to trade effectively, you need to compensate for it. I feel they are trying to do just that.
I think if all they did was remove the auction house but left everything else the same (ability to trade legends and gold), we would never see the above changes.

THEY ARE GOING TO EXPLODE WITH ACTIVITY!
Think of the web traffic they are going to get once this change happens? Ad revenue is going to shoot through the roof.
Blizzard just let the website owners make a lot more money. -

"regenerate 4% of your maximum Life per second for 60 seconds"
"ou gain 2% of your maximum Life per second."
Thats the balance? Barb heals double the amount and everybody?
You're mixing barb with demonhunter with that 2% max life per second.
Barb gives 4% life regen to entire party which is very balanced since it affects everyone
Barb also gets 620 life per second that's shared too.
But to get both buffs, barbs are giving up a lot of staple buffs, like the 20% resistance to entire party... and a damage passive.
Since it affects the entire party and not just the barb, I consider that balanced well enough. -
Sep 21, 2012Bodycount1 posted a message on Patch 1.0.5 PTR Patch Notes - 1.0.5 Coming to the PTRThey just devalued magic find on gear again. First time was with paragon levels. Second time is with this new change to later acts dropping more properties.Posted in: News
Why even have magic find on gear anymore?
I'm only paragon 19 but I have max magic find from my gear farming act 3. I gave up some HP and damage for it. Looks like I'll have to regear again. Most likely something they want and expecting people to do to use the RMAH so they get more money. -

Let me tell you what will happen with barbs guys;
Barbs will drop warcry all together, and get an other fancy ass skill. The 20% Armor buff will be easilly negated by the inferno damage nerf.
That leaves the 20% all resistance. But heres the thing. Most barbs run around with 500-600 all res unbuffed. That means they need to gather ~100-120 all res to get on the same level that warcry would. This is a mere 2 items with all res!
In other words, gather up those random rolled all res items! (lacuni prowlers with str / all res for example)
I already increased my Resist All yesterday by 80 because I knew Resist All items are going to go up in price soon.
Now i'm at 1000 with current war cry buff. Should drop down to 600-700 without it. That's enough to do inferno after the 1.0.5 nerfs. Especially if you have room to pick up Superstition passive.. WW barbs could offtank on the side then. -

They can make it easier and easier to obtain loot; but until the loot is interesting to obtain, what's the point?
The easier loot is to get, the more useless the AH becomes. Soon instead of vendoring 95% of all drops, you will vendor 99.9% of all drops meaning have fun trying to make gold. The people will billions of gold right now will be the 1% and have all the power in this game. -
Sep 14, 2012Bodycount1 posted a message on Dev Journal: Defensive Bonuses and Monster DamageEvery class has some sort of resistance buff right? Barb it's war cry and it's being nerfed. OWE is the monk one and it has to be nerfed as well. Only problem is it ties into gear choices where as war cry doesn't.Posted in: News
So it's gotta be nerfed to be fair. My guess it that they will make it not double stack anymore. Meaning if you have a single resist and a resist all, you wont be able to add them together. It will pick the larger of the two and ignore the smaller value. That's the only way I can see it nerfed without hurting current gear choices. -
Sep 14, 2012Bodycount1 posted a message on Dev Journal: Defensive Bonuses and Monster DamageIf I take the same damage now with War Cry: Impunity as I do in 1.0.5 without that buff, then I'll be happy. Sure in public games they wont like me since I won't provide the buff but I'll get to pick something else to help out.Posted in: News
Looks like I need to invest in more resist all now before prices go up again.
And I don't use Leap in my current WW build... but when I did use leap, I mainly used it as another shield cooldown like they mentioned they dont want us to use it as. It's the only good reason to take Leap besides jumping for shortcuts. They should lower the cooldown to 6 seconds if they lower the armor buff to 3 seconds. -

Slain enemies rest in pieces. you do insane damage on killing blows. But the target is already going to die so whats the point? Maybe for life steal? that's about it really.Posted in: News

Not understanding why you call this whining. This is a discussion on the different difficulties. People are saying whats on their mind. I was doing the same.

It just would have been nice if they made each difficulty a little bit different. Maybe in normal we fight Zoltun Kulle. In nightmare we fight his father. In hell we fight his grandfather. In inferno we fight the first of his bloodline. I don't know. Something like that.
I found it extremely boring fighting the same people with the same story for each difficulty.

If they made a 5th difficulty then in reality Blizzard just turned their 1/4 of the game to 1/5.
Really crappy way to make a game. Lazy too.

Yeah I know people are getting from lvl 1 to lvl 60 paragon 100 in a little less than two days. I'll never powerlevel that hardcore because I think it's boring. For me getting from 1 to 60 in a weekend to me is a great weekend.
after i get all five classes to 60 i'll slow down again and work on my barb who is paragon 76. getting him to 100 would be a great goal for me before the expansion hits.

Well then lets agree to disagree. There are more ways to play WW barb than going DW. I was just suggesting one of those ways. I understand you don't agree with me but that's ok. I use a skorn with frenzy and smite and having great results with it.

And 5 piece IK is very nice. If you can get good pieces for each slot then do it. You no longer lose fury when you're not in combat. Helps out when you have a slow 2 hander.
Helps to find an IK belt with Frenzy bonus. And if you're doing ubers, finding a stone of jordan with frenzy bonus also helps big time and you should be able to find one cheap.

Is that it?

Let's just get that out of the way. They both do the same thing really.
Barb's have two armor passives though to help out
I do believe though 20% buff to all resist and 20% buff to armor would do the same thing in terms of survivability... no matter what each value was at. That was most likely why blizzard nerfed the resist rune .. because before the nerf it gave more than the armor rune. Now they are both equal.
Just keep them both up there. Don't stack one and forget about the other.

How am I doing something wrong if I die in one hit? I'm WW'ing around on MP10 killing stuff and a big slow attacking mob just happens to connect with me and bam.. I'm dead. You saying I was playing wrong when I just happened to be in that spot when the attack happened?
It's like you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
And I rarely play MP10 anyway. For efficiency, I play MP8 because stuff dies a hell of a lot quicker and most of the bonus's are still there.
