I would think gold will be at least a little bit more valueable than D2. In D2 all you had to do with it was repair and gamble (which sucked). At least we have crafting, gem upgrades and upcoming cool mystic things to spend our gold on.

I hope they nerf all resist and make single resist rolls double to triple the value

They can only do that if they nerf/remove monk's OwE

I think they said something in the past in regards to this. their idea was something like increasing single resist rolls up to 90-110 or something, but making it so only a single resist OR an all resist can appear on an item instead of both so you cant double stack like now.

Demon Hunter Skills i'd like to see changed:

Grenades - I played grenadier build for quite a while. But no matter how hard I wanted like this skill for the sake of the build i just can't. It's retarded you can go to the festering woods and shoot arrows over all the low lying bushes and rocks, but then you throw a grenade and it bounces off them like there is a wall there. If anything should be able to be thrown over an obstacle it should be the grenades, right?

Frost Arrow - I loved d2 Ice and Freezing arrows. This one isn't horrible but for what little damage it does the CC just ins't good enough. either buff the CC effects or buff the damage. Maybe add piercing along with the splitting.

Wolf Companion - Need more wolfies! Would be so cool if i could run around with a pack or 3 wolfies nipping at the Big Demons ankles and keeping them distracted. Then i could do cool shit like sending them after a boss, throwing a guardian turret around them for some extra protection, cast a rain of vengance over top, then kick back and relax while I phew phew a few arrows their way.

Hot Pursuit - Why do I have to be at full hatred??? Would rather have it taken down to 10% and have it always on like the Monk version.

Also, DHs need another viable (off-weapon) Life Steal option. I'm so sick of Shadow Power, i would love to ditch it for something else. Nether tentacles suck, and MFD - Death Toll isn't really good enough playing solo. maybe instead of the Spider Companion slowing some random mobs, it could instead add some life steal to you (kind of like a wizard's MW - Blood Magic). If we got that + the extra wolfies and the already decent bat and boar i'd really have a hard time picking a companion, which is a good problem!

Sounds awesome, wish we had this now! I really hope this gets some attention on the Bnet forum as well.

I thought it was dumb at first, but the more i think about it I actually really like this idea some of you are proposing about items that could only be traded once. This seems like it would solve alot of issues.

For example if an item was traded on the auction house it then became BoA it seems to me like it would help in the following ways:
-Item is BoA after first trade and is removed from market (less flood of items on the auction house), better economy
-No one can flip items any more, thus causing more players to actually play Diablo to earn their gold, instead of playing AH
-Still allowing players to easily trade self found items that are good, but not useful to them

I'm sure many would complain at first that they cannot re-trade the items if they don't want them any more, but it's really basically the same as crafting, just without the randomness of the results. Players (such as myself) have been spending buttloads of their lovely gold on crafting knowing they will never get that money back since the items are BoA. So it's really the same thing, just be sure you really want something before buy it, because once you do it's yours!


I don't think this would work with the RMAH, but i think that should be removed anyways. I do like the GAH though and i think this would be a good change to it. It great to have an easy & safe way to trade when you found something good, but not something you can use, (or maybe something you found already).

Why not get an ad blocker? Chrome and Firefox both have apps for ad blocking which work wonders for sites with heaps of advertisements. If you don't use Chrome or Firefox then I'm not sure how you would get rid of them D:

I use Adblocker plus on Firefox and there is literally zero ads to be seen on Diablofans or any sites alike.

Yes he is right I use Ghostery on Chrome, and it blocks all ads and any trackers. Nothing shows up here or other sites. Plus you can click the ghostery icon and see who/what the ads and trackers are that it blocked. handy.

Looks like i may be the odd one out here, but if you haven't used a DH Id really recommend it.

You can do a DH pretty cheap for MP3/MP4 but they require a bit more practice and attention than some of the other classes (which is what i like). If you practice your run/shoot/run/shoot/run/shoot (by clicking back and forth and bumping your "stand still" button) you can physically dodge most attacks avoiding a significant amount of damage while still attacking which is something most wizards builds can't really do too well. And if you have trouble with mobs catching up to you just use Caltrops/Torturous Ground or vault to put some distance. The demon hunter is very quick and does good damage but is fragile without good gear, so its critical to learn how to avoid damage to play the class, but once you do they are really fun to play.

I remember pre-monster power i used to easily play A3 inferno with shit gear probably 40K-50K dps at the time. That is equivalent to about MP3 right now. Now i'm much better geared and doing MP6-MP7 no problem and loving it. I have a WIZ too and i like her on MP1/2 using either Archon or my All Cold build, but when i'm essence hunting, key hunting, doing ubers, or anything else hgiher MP it's always the DH for me.

Check out this old thread here.

It may be old, but its a good one for seeing how use of a DH with a bit of skill can get you by with pretty crap gear.

Anyone else using a Grenadier build for farming exp or keys? I just gave it the shot a while back and it's actually alot of fun. I was already using cluster arrow (loaded for bear) with -5 hatred req, on my quiver. But now that im using the grenadier it is so much more fun because you get -10 hatred bring cost down from the 50 to 35 for me, and the additional 2 hatred generated from the grenades is very helpful. I can basically spam a cluster arrow every few seconds now.

Only issue I have found so far is the mechanics of the grenades suck sometimes, especially on stairs. Sometime it seems almost impossible to get them where you want them to go. And you can't throw them over low lying objects like logs etc that you cant walk over, Seems like if you can shoot an arrow over something you should be able to chuck a grenade over it too.

Maybe some of the other grenades work better, i've been using Firebomb because of the damage it is still good for single targets as well as groups. Also if you can find a cape with +xx% grendade damage that helps too!

Anyone else played with this build type at all or have any tips on it?

Here is what i'm using now, give it a shot if you haven't tried yet, if it's not anything else it is at least some fun for a while:

Just wanted to add that this is indeed working in Americas too. After you buy Digital Deluxe Edition you load up the game client, log in and when you actually start a game the achievement will pop up then while still in game you will notice a small "you have 1 new message" notification over your chat bar. open the message and you get a thank you message and then the wings will be added to your inventory.

Just figured it'd be worth a mention since i actually missed the message at first and was wondering why they didn't just show up in my inventory from the start.

This doesn't seem correct. Why would a Affix "+XX% Cold Damage" add damage to a skill that is dealing damage as Poison?

I believe the way the Frostburn Gauntlents work is:

-Adds X% to Cold Damage
**works on "+cold damage" on a weapon AND to skills dealing damage as cold


-Cold Skills Deal XX% more damage
**increase damage of ONLY skills that deal damage as cold

In this case i don't see how these Frostburn gloves for example would do anything to a skill like the zombie bears that is dealing damage as poison.

Maybe i'm wrong... but this seems logical to me.

Still stinks though when you clear a whole act. Would be nice to keep your NV stacks and go straight to another act.

I didn't realize the organs don't drop 100% of the time, in D2 they did. I though it was only the keys that had to be farmed. If you get the keys and do an uber run and they don't drop the organs do you have to find the keys all over again?

I hear you, I would love to be able to go between acts. Especially when 1.0.5 is out so you can do all your Key runs in one game like you could in D2.

I would go for a better quiver first off. If you can manage to get one of the new 1.0.4 Dead Man Legacy Quivers that would help alot. Even the worst one would be significantly better than what you have now. With 170+ dex 170+ vita +AS +Crit and more, you cannot go wrong.

Then maybe your helm and bracers, you can probably easily replace those with similar ones but with +Crit chance also for cheap.

Some movement speed on your boots wouldn't hurt either.

Good luck!
