Great presentation. I cannot comment on the build itself since I haven't played in a while, but this is how builds should be presented, with links to the respective skills, alternatives and itemization comments, instead of a youtube video with 0 text. Cudos to you.
Black hole animation sets it up for an awesome implotion that never happens. In the rune that does happen, it happens too late. Still looks great, though.
Although for different reasons, I do agree that the forced rotation and hard caps could have been done differently. I feel like both of these systems are there to prevent abusing the overpowered stats. It's not like you can nef crit chance to something like "+0.05%", that just feels incredibly inconsecuential, so you need some sort of restriction. I just think you can achieve that restriction much better with diminishing returns, using an asymptotic distribution.
Say the crit chance cap from paragon levels is currently 20. Instead of each level giving 0.5% and caping it at 40 points, make each level give you 5% of whatever is left until 20 or 25. That way, if you want to dump all yout points into crit chance, you can and you'll never exceed the cap, but maybe you'll rethink it when the next point only gives you like +0.001.
This does have the problem of "Use your points homogeneously for the best return," and is maybe too complicated for the general player, but I think it's a much more elegant solution.
We used to have a sidebar on the New content page with "Status Updates" that you could comment on. Those were pretty good for ranting without having to bother others with a whole new thread.
Then, we could add "Rune Superextensions" that extend on the extentions of the runes of the skills of each class. I'm sorry, but your idea is exactly the same as skill runes, only one step further. Might as well have 25 runes for each skill.
I've been rooting for multiple Hydras since day 1... They showed a wand that had a chance of spawning an Hydra when an enemy died. That was cool, but there's no point in having a field of Hydras when everything is already dead.

So, they add Inferno to have a "flat" difficulty, and now they change their mind? Why don't they scrap it altogether then? 3 difficulties is more than enough.
Do I play PvP? No. Am I happy the game is coming out sooner? Yes. Is this a disgraceful move? You bet.
Agreed. I don't get people saying this is good news. The only good thing out of this is that the game may come out sooner, but that's not the "news" that's the "excuse". Lame move by Blizzard.
They said they arnt gonna balance the game around pvp, which i hope they stick to their word and dont. But i think they will change a few things that will affect pvp massively pre-launch.
Just because they are not balancing aruond PvP does not mean that they can't make some changes to both to help PvP.
Such as too many hydras were unbalanced. So, just allow one but make it stronger. This does not damage PvE but may help PvP
There were so many better solutions. Add a cooldown (a la D2), increase cost, reduce damage. Just 1 hydra is lame, having a fire army was part of the fun.
