But what if thinking that they want you to think that picking one is exactly what they want you to do is what they want you to think you have to do?

I find that the spenders for Barbarian are worthwhile. Hammer of the Ancients is definitely worth using over just Cleave (or Bash) spamming.

I've found that Monk plays totally different, though. Since Monk seems to generate Spirit at a slower rate than any other class generated their resource, and Monk generators deal more damage overall than others, I think Monks are supposed to do most of their damage via generators, and just use Spirit as tactical ability fuel, like their heal or mantras. If you're capping out on Spirit, then you can dump some into a spender like Lashing Tail Kick or Wave of Light.

Point is: Monks are more reliant on generators for damage, maybe at 70-30 split of damage, where other classes might be more shifted towards more damage via spenders with maybe a 50-50 split.

The Witch Doctor is taller than the Barbarian for a few reasons:
1) If the WD was shorter, he would look really small while crouched over all the time, so they made him taller to compensate.
2) Have you watched NBA basketball at all?

Quote from Swirlyball

I think it will be great if they never implement pvp. Having no pvp means they wont "Balance" the skills for pvp and will focus on purely the item hunt and killing huge packs of demons!.
I dread the time when it will be "Oh nerf barbarian stun times, i cant move" and so they do and the pve side suffers again.

You can rest easy knowing that Jay WIlson said they weren't gonna be too worried about balancing skills for PvP, since DIII is not meant to be an eSport in the slightest. He said the PvP guy will always take the backseat to the PvM guy, since DIII is first and foremost a PvM game, no matter how hard you believe it's a PvP game.

I for one hope they stick to that attitude. I saw too many skills in WoW get ruined because they were OP in PvP, instead of just making them do two different things for PvP and PvE.

The number has increased from 0%! Keep up the good work, guys. We'll have this thing unlocked in no time.

Quote from Gazziwa

Diablo II was designed with them in mind, and the knowledge that most players would hardly get to experiment with their highest level (30) skills before finishing the game for the first time.

The max level for skills was 20. Only through +Skill item affixes could you extend it beyond that.

Quote from Gazziwa

You will be able to access the three difficulties Nightmare, Hell and Inferno after you played through the normal Difficulty.

You have to beat each subsequent difficulty to unlock the next. You have to beat Hell for Inferno.

Quote from Gazziwa

...to the point that playing solo in a group game will be a very bad idea.

Quote from Gazziwa

It will be possible to run it solo, though...

Kinda contradictory here, these two lines.

Quote from Gazziwa

Featuring monsters with a minimum level of 61

The range is 61-65 currently, if you were wondering.

Quote from Gazziwa

...this mode is aimed at players who have maxed out their character at the level 60 cap.

And have gotten the best gear out of Hell.

Quote from Gazziwa

Blizzard promises you that how good you are at games, you will still die in Inferno.

Typo here.

Quote from Gazziwa

When you get to Inferno the monsters will have different abilities, such as "Freeze time, wall- blocking, shackle."

Like the guy above me said, Waller (which is the proper name) is available in all difficulties. Are you calling 'Jailer' shackle? That's available in all difficulties too.

Quote from Gazziwa

For just a month Blizzard announced that they had a difficult that was static. Which means that it was "This hard" from the beginning to the end. But they figured that it wasn't so fun. Because the first boss was as hard as the last one. So they changed the difficulties so that they will scale through out the acts.

Normal, Nightmare, and Hell all were kept the same. The only recent change to the difficulties has been in Inferno, and the only thing they did was make it get harder as you progress.


Also there are many grammar, and a few spelling, mistakes that you should really think about fixing if you want this to be a legible, useful guide to the difficulties in Diablo III.

And change the thread name. It's not very professional at all.

Nice. If you wanna make it look even better, here's the filled in progress lines between the orbs:

If anyone know html language the only thing you have to do is quit the class "locked": http://img542.images...77/d3locked.png

But you cant click con the icons yet

PD: sorry if my english is bad

Oh, I thought you just Photoshopped it in. I hadn't thought to just go edit the HTML.

The easiest ways in life are the simplest ones that we never think of, huh.

So I was browsing the CSS from the all-new fansite and found these images:

These are what the locked bubbles could be. Any idea what that first unlocked bubble could be? The skull?

The preview thumbnail for the 100% unlock video! That's Imperius, by the way.
EDIT: Credit to Yemmiz (and Aerisot for finding the other 9) for the description of the 100% unlock video:

Diablo: Wrath: Long before the creation of Sanctuary, the Eternal Conflict between angels and demons raged on for untold millennia. Blizzard Entertainment teamed up with renowned director Peter Chung and acclaimed animation studio Titmouse to create this unique vision of a fundamental moment in the battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

The class sigils.

I'll update with any more I find. I didn't find anything else. I might take another look later.
Speculate away!

This is the same exact thing.

This just in: JFK conspired with terrorists to bring about the rumor that they nerfed Inferno.

Hey folks,

Just thought I'd share my new iPhone app for Diablo 3. Allows you to create and edit character profiles as well as items on your iPhone. I put a lot of work into this, so I hope you guys find it useful. Any feedback is welcome!

I'm new to the forum and can't post a link to it, so you can just search for "Hero Stats for Diablo 3" in the app store to get it. Maybe if a forum goer here likes it, they will post a link to it in this thread.

It's completely free and ad-free as well. Enjoy!

Uniques (purple mobs) that aren't bosses usually don't drop loot anymore. I think this may only apply to the ones that always spawn in the same place in certain areas, like at the entrance to the Waterlogged passage in Act 2 (used to be a rare, yellow, now changed to unique that drops nothing).

From another post about a Barb build someone commented that Frenzy does more damage than Bash.

Well I did some math on Frenzy+Maniac Vs Bash+Onslaught.

Comparing these 2 skills has to count the total number of attacks for each Skill within the same amount of time. Using anything less than 1 attack (.15% of an attack for example) for calculations in inaccurate. Using IAS (Increased Attack Speed) is also inaccurate.

This is what I came up with..... and I think its pretty accurate.
_____________________________________________________




1 sec - 110%
.85 sec - 114% -- (224%)
.70 sec - 118% -- (342%)
.55 sec - 122% -- (464% -- 3.1 sec -- Bash has done 582%, striking 3 times Vs Frenzy's 4)
.40 sec - 126% -- (590% -- 3.5 sec -- At this point Frenzy has struck again before Bash can)
.25 sec - 130% -- (720% -- 3.75 sec -- Frenzy has stuck a 2nd time before Bash can)
.25 sec - 130% -- (850% -- 4 sec -- Bash has now Hit for 194%, much less than Frenzy's 130% however, Frenzy has struck a total of 3 times more in the same amount of time, resulting in more damage being done)

Total Damage in 4 seconds = 850%

Damage in the following 4 seconds once Frenzy has stacked is as follows. Total = 2080%
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520
1 sec - (4x Attacks @130) = 520

Total Damage in 8 seconds = 2930%
_______________________________________________


1 sec - 194%
1 sec - 194% -- 388%
1 sec - 194% -- 582%
1 sec - 194% -- 776%

Total Damage in 4 seconds = 776%
Total Damage in 8 seconds = 1552% (damage simply doubled, no modifiers applicable)

_______________________________________________

What this basically means, is that unless an enemy is destroyed by Bash+Onslaught in 3 strikes or less, Frenzy+Maniac does more damage.
