How do you know it won't?
I have my barb in Act 2 Inferno right now and I hardly ever use a fury spender. The only ones I would ever use are earthquake and WotB. I use leap (with 300% armor inc.), war cry (armor and resist), revenge, ignore pain, WotB, and frenzy. I swear fury hasn't meant too much to me so far. I'm constantly full.
Edit: Also, is there a confirmation or some sort of source as to the patch is supposedly coming next week?
the text says
Also the patch is now up, meaning there is a very good chance it will be next week, instead of the week after. Nothing is set in stone of course.
patches will usually go up on these servers the week or day before it goes live.
Also, remember how long 1.0.2 was on patch server before being released, about 11 days. It did not get released the immediate tuesday/wed following it's appearance but week after, it just sat on servers, done, for almost 2 weeks. I'll be surprised if 1.0.3 is next week. But never know
but like I said.. the point of putting "-might-" was just to point out its possible now, as its up
What's up with the Collector's Edition wings though? "QUAD DAMAGE" O.o;
You know world of Warcraft didn't invent a lot of the things that are in the game right? They just combined a lot of things. Enrage timers are to prevent extreme amounts of cheesing/low damage on boss fights. If you aren't geared enough to kill it within a certain amount of time, then you shouldn't be there.
Why do I continually see negative updates for this game? I keep trying to play, and can barely make it past nightmare with soloing and not using Auction house. And they keep making it more difficult and unattractive, and I am a hardcore diablo fan since the beginning. Stop making a more difficult game, more difficult! It's getting tot he point where it isn't even fun anymore just hours spent between working, the girlfriend, and then trying to progress just a little.
I don't mean to sound negative, but that's all I see coming from you, Blizzard. Stop it.
It's a feat of strength, it means basically is nothing at all. As long as it doesn't affect gameplay and is cosmetic, its fine.
I made it all the way to act 4 hell within the first few days without using the AH. I eventually had a surplus of money and decided to upgrade me 200 dps weapon into 400 dps. I was only a wd and I didn't even know about bears.
So obviously you aren't playing right or something..
Most spenders for a lot of classes aren't worth it in inferno, that's how min/maxxing works, in d2, they were only worth it mainly because you could just have mana on hit and just use it as a primary spam. In inferno, you use several utility and defensive spells and a primary. Even though this is a problem, they will address it more in the class balance patch.
This obviously isn't the full patch notes.
Seriously, I have issues with the game right now, but your complaints are those of someone who shouldnt be playing this genre of games. Did you even know what you were getting into, or do you buy every game IGN tells you you should play?
