Nobody was forced to take VQ, there has always been the divide between either splinters+PtV or bat/bears+VQ. Now that divide is gone and people will just choose either splinters or firebomb and forget about regen completely.Quote from Catalept
I know. Forcing everyone to take VQ and use long-cooldown abilities for no other reason than to compensate for low base mana-regen was awesome!
/sarcasm
When an ability is so good that people use it to exclusion of all else, and use other abilities for no reason other than to trigger that one good one, that's bad design, and either the ability or its triggers are going to get nerfed. That was true for WW+CM, and it's true for SQ. Hell, it'd be true for OWE if Blizzard could fix it without causing an unholy shitstorm.

Aug 16, 2012phuzi0n posted a message on Patch 1.0.4 Class Preview: Witch DoctorWait wtf is going on here? Yeah they're buffing pets like they promised months ago, but they are killing mana regen and people are celebrating it as a buff??? Maybe there's other changes to mana regen that they didn't mention, but the post sounds like they don't want us to ever be able to have enough regen to be able to spam bats/bears. While the old mechanic was indeed "feast or famine" and I myself suggested many ways that could smooth it out, this change is completely gutting it. Before you could get over 250 mana/sec with gear and talents but from what they've told us it will now be limited to about 100 mana/sec.Posted in: News
This preview is worse than the wizard preview that said CM build is getting half as much AP procs from tornados. They're forcing WD to use primary spells, so everyone is likely going to be forced into splinters/firebomb builds and not care about mana dumps like they want us to. -

I hope they at least give us DETAILED information on how the new systems work so that we don't have to figure it all out empirically again. -
Jul 20, 2012phuzi0n posted a message on Diablo III Inferno Booster Pack Giveaway, General Guide for Wizards in Inferno, Character Profile Status Update on Monday, HardThe contest is a cool idea and free loot is still freeloot, but IMO it's VERY little loot at all, like ~30 mins worth of farming for a geared person in a3. You might get lucky and hit the jackpot with the unid's but the crafting/gems are only worth about as much as 1 full repair. It would be nice if you bumped it up to ~100 mats, ~50 tomes, ~20 gems.Posted in: News

Yes.

White mob dmg is irrelevant because you should always be trying to aggro tons of mobs to let the dot tick on them all and the elites will be the last to die. RG dmg is the most important thing.

However, the numpad trick isn't even a macro. You are pushing the button and then using a trick to make the game believe that you are holding the button down when you have actually released it. I've never seen any message from Blizzard about whether this sort of behavior is acceptable for a macro (afaict it still falls under 1 button = 1 action) but seeing as how it is not even a macro and they pretty much ignore every form of cheating that people do in d3, if they ever decide that they don't like it then they will likely patch it and take no action against anybody.

The problem seems to be a general lack of ceremonial knife drops coupled with the low drop rate (~1.5% from the leaked rates). IMO they should bump up both slightly, say 50% more of each which would more than double the odds.
