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. -

I'm looking at the 1d12h auctions refreshing the list over and over hoping someone will post one and not know the value.
Am I wasting my time and this is such a rare event that I should just do something else?
Last night I got lucky and someone posted a Skorn with 1250 dps, 5.6% lifesteal, 194% crit dam, and 330 str for 8 million. But I lost over 20k dps over my old 1360 dps skorn that doesn't have lifesteal.

If each level had different bosses at the end of the acts.. then maybe it would work out. Save Diablo for inferno act 4. In normal act 4 the end boss should have been some character helping Diablo. His henchman. His guy was trying to secure heaven for Diablo but fails when we kill him. Then in nightmare a stronger henchman tries to do it and we kill him. In hell Diablo's right hand man tries and we kill him. Then finally in inferno Diablo takes it upon himself (herself?) to do it and we kill him (her?).

But if you're buying gold to use for an item then you're just wasting your money.

So for me it's all on the damage stat.

I do agree with most of both of you said.
I was an avid player. I did an act 3 run at least once a night every single night for a couple months straight.
Honestly the only reason I kept playing was the chance for that godly item to drop and the chance to make millions of gold on the AH.
Now that they changed the drops rates on rares and legendaries so both drop a lot more.. the AH is flooded beyond what I or honestly anyone thought possible. I can't sell anything I find anymore. Stuff that would have went for 5-10 million three months ago.. now I have to vendor because posting it for 100k, it doesn't sell. The main part of that is that there are 5 to 25 of the same item as mine. Yes the stats are different but they are roughly the same range as my item stats. So the only way to sell mine is to drop the price. Well the price to sell most medium quality items now make them unsellable. Plus the fact people are not wanting medium quality items since the majority of players are working on paragon levels. People want best in slot. And the chance to find best in slot is maybe one item every couple months if you farm every day.
I can't do that anymore. Like you said in the video.. this game has turned into a job that pays less than minimum wage. No I don't sell on the RMAH but for me that's what it feels like. The gold I get back from selling items isn't worth the time investment of getting those items.
MP levels also hurt my playing time. I played Lineage 2 for awhile. If anyone here knows that game.. it's the ultimate grind RPG. The Koreans love that style of gaming though so that's what it is. I quit playing a couple months into it because I just didn't have the time to farm and maybe gain one level per week.
Finally.. I want to bring up the last point. The biggest point that has pissed me off about this game. I feel I got jipped in content. Sure playing act 1 through act 4 on normal was fun. But then what do I have to do after that? Play the same damn game again with a little harder content. Then repeat it again. and finally repeat it again. I feel that my $60 that I paid for this game was for 1/4 of the "finished" game that should have been there. There should have been an act 5 all the way through act 16. I wouldn't care if they used the same polygons or reused graphics from time to time. I just wanted a different game. Save different people. Kill different bosses.

how is it a felony? lol. is there a federal law against online dupe selling? Point this out to me please.

That being said, I don't see another nerf coming down anytime soon... even when PvP is out.
Tank sword and board builds that have ancient spear to pull the other guy back will rule PvP. Maybe weapon throw too. Anything to get the other guy in your face or to kill at range.

If another nerf is coming, it has not been mentioned yet by any dev and your buddy is toying with you.
If they wanted to stop WW barbs they could have a long time ago. The fact that they are still here means blizz doesn't want the spec to go away, just harder to do.

you asked what is best at speed farming .. I'm telling you it's WW barb.
