I liked the part where he played the saxophone.

I'd like to point out that in a game like Diablo a class is definitely not solely measured on their ability to frontload damage. Diablo is also about survivability. The Wizard has a ridiculous amount of CC, slowing power, and otherwise ability to avoid getting hit. Compare that to a class like Barbarian or Monk, who are forced to stand in the pack to deal damage and you'll find that Wizards can run circles around a pack picking them off one by one.

There's more to a class than damage.

Also it's beta. At level 13. That's like (for those of you who've played WoW) complaining that their level 10 priest does crappy damage compared to a level 10 hunter.

The game hasn't even released yet and people are already saying their classes are bad.
It's still in beta. Also the max level is 13. Certainly not an accurate representation of level 60 play. They don't balance the game around level 13 Skeleton King. I'm sure Blizzard will make sure all classes are close to one another in damage at end game.

I learned how to type quickly without looking at the keyboard by playing WarCraft III on Battle.Net when I was younger, and I type faster and better (with fewer mistakes too) than anyone I know.

I also met a lot of people online who I became friends with.

More as a result of being around computers than gaming: I'm the best with computers out of anyone I know, though my roommate is a Computer Science major, and he can code circles around me, but he does come to me for advice on the hardware side of things.
I learned to built custom PCs by myself and have since built one for me, one for a friend of mine, and aided in building one for my younger brother.

On the negative side of things I have to agree about everyone else's social points. While I am social, especially around those who I'm familiar with, I'm not the most social person you'd ever meet.

It could have had an effect on my eyesight, though it could just be hereditary, or maybe both. My joints are still fine, though.

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.
