It's a free to play game, we all had enough fun for 60$ already so we can't be unsatisfied.
Game is far from being what we all expect, sadly, we ll have to wait, who knows how long.
A year or more I assume.

Minor changes? "real content" you will get in an expansion, not in these patches, this isn't a subscription based game like WoW where you get content updates every few months.Quote from FuriousBalls
Makes me feel sad knowing that we are waiting for patch with minor changes for 2 months. Makes me feel wonder how long will we wait for some real content patches...
I've been playing diablo 1 and 2 for 15 years almost and no one said I want dragons in diablo nor 5 expansions.
This game is broken and half empty. It needs more random dungeons, more bosses, more viable builds and much much more. Not sure why did you mention WoW at all, I m really sick hearing about WoW lately on DiabloFANS forum. -

Do these trivial exterior things already and then move onto harder and more complex problems, itemization, random dungeons, fixing such a linear farming router that make you bored.Posted in: News

Diablo 3 is going through hard phase and at the moment it's far away from our expectations but combat is way too fluent and graphics are awesome so you can't compare these games.
When D3 becomes what everyone are expecting, it will pretty much be the one RGP that people will play.
Gotta say great job to path of exile team, sadly they don't have enough money and such to get such a great engine as D3 has.

Hey there Ice.
I ll tank you for your response but I will have to disagree about your statements. I personally think that WD is currently at a really high stage and it's probably one of the best and fastest classes to farm with. If you drop a look at my videos you will notice that mana is not a problem at all, it all depends how you build your WD.
If they would buff mp5 even more, it would be just too hilarious, since WD would surely be way too op.
When it comes to different skills and such, only thing that I would do is redesign or buff skills such is locus, haunt and fix some really useless runes and passives this class has. I m afraid that they are some skills that deal really huge damage and on the other had, skills that deal no damage at all.

Heya and thanks for the response!
Reason I don't use pets anymore is that I m around 1000res, 45k HP (would be over 50k if I m not using ruby XP socket and hellfire ring), also I've tried to work on armor and I got 4k so it's pretty easy to survive and do things properly.
Also, I focused on MP5 105 unbuffed so it's some crazy mana regen.
You can work with passive skills tho, mix between Blood Ritual and Grusome feast, both are really insane.
All in all it's a nice build, huge DPS, really fast and effective.

How the Build Works - Introduction
This build is based upon some MP5 demanding gear and combination of Zombie Bears & Spirit Barrage. Besides the awesomeness of damage that Spirit Barrage deals, it's also used for stacking Rush of Essence passive which drastically increases your Mana regeneration.
This build provides a big damage and survival buff to your Witch Doctor. Aditional 40% damage from Big Bad Voodoo and Paranoia (Mass confusion) makes it just too OP not to play with.
When it comes to survival, I mean constant life steal ownage while under effect of Big Bad Voodoo (rain dance), and amount of bears you can constantly cast while being at full mana makes you almost invincible.
Build & Possible Tweaks
Build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#gfUdjQ!YTf!ZcZcYZ
Explanation:
1). Spirit Barrage (Well of Souls) - After zombie bears damage, this is the second most damaging spell that Witch Doctor has. Way to impressive for single targets (Let's say you killed all the elite minions and you are left with the boss), just way to impressive. Also, having in mind that Spirit Barrage procs Rush of Essence,
you will pretty much end up with full Mana all the time.
How to use Spirit Barrage ?
As I mentioned in the video, always tend to focus using bears when it comes to AOE and multiple targets but also, tend to cast spirit barrage every 2 or 3 seconds. For example, keep spamming your Bears (right click) and often whenever you can press left click so you proc Spirit barrage. It will take you few minutes until you get into it, but I m sure you ll make it.
2). Zombie Charger (Zombie Bears) - No need to explain anything here. Pretty much everyone is familiar with this skill.
3). Spirit Walk (Honored Guest) - Awesome passive for regenerating your Mana. Reason why you don't need any other rune (like life regeneration) is the fact that you are most likely playing with life steal anyway, so that is your main and probably only source of life steal that you need.
4). Soul Harvest (Vengeful Spirit) - Solid damage and the most important of all, it retains your HP, since it deals damage and works with life steal, just as any other skill. Get into spirit walk, go into mobs and use it and your HP will be pretty much full.
5. Mass Confusion (Paranoia) - One of the best in-game skills for controlling monsters, provides additional 20% damage and while it's active you can most likely own any group with chain of your zombie bears. This skill is A MUST for this build, since your elite group won't move much while under effect of confusion, so you can freely pew pew them.
Also, always wait until the group is positioned in the way that you can confuse them all, than use your Totem and keep spamming bears. If you kill for example 2 of 3, finish the last one with spirit barrage.
Passive skills:
Gruesome Feast - 50% of your total intelligence and shit load of mana ? Please, GIMME!
Grave Injustice - Probably the best passive skill in game. A lot of HP / Mana regeneration and the most important of all, resets all your CD's which is priceless.
Rush of Essence - We use this because of our Spirit Barrage. Rush of Essence stacks and eventually regen a lot of mana.
Gear & What you should focus on
What I usually tend to do with my WD is find balance between damage and survival. I m around 150k DPS unbuffed and I'm loving it. What I constantly try to improve is my mana regeneration, vitality and trying to get over 1000 all resistances. For builds where zombie bears are included, try to get as much mana regeneration as possible, because as you know, most of the Witch Doctor that you see with insane damage, that's not a real damage after all.

They had 6 years to plan, test and do whatever they wanted.
I personally play Diablo to get some rest from my work and university but I feel sad for people who've spent a lot of money on items that will be pretty much worthless when new legendaries are released.
Really not fair for those people...

Thanks for your response, gotta agree with you.
Personally I played World of Warcraft in the best guild at that time on USA server (Death and Taxes), it was years ago (The burning crusade expansion), even tho we were hardcore I still had my life as priority and I could made it both, without any problems.
I don't think that someone who needs to play a game all day long is hard-core gamer, I just think that he's probably doing something really wrong.
It's like saying that mathematician is the one who does math whole day but rather, it's the one who solves the problem as fast as possible, in the easier possible way.

So before I give you my 2 cents, could you please tell me, what would be the answer to this question ?
"Point in playing some game" ?!
The point of GAMES is probably found in it's word and it means play, have fun. If you don't have it, then I simply don't understand why are you still questioning it ?
Diablo 3 is not like Diablo 2, maybe because of the gameplay and probably because you got too old, just the way I did, since we played D2 like a decade ago, so you might also want to question that...
I wonder when will people realize that games are just games and if you loose yourself into it, I m afraid your life gonna suffer a lot. Log in here and there, kill some mobs, play with your friends (if you have them) and simply log out and do million of other things that you can, for example, job, book, girls, friends etc. Games went too far, or at least people took them to serious.

Exactly buddy, that's why PoE is still in beta stage, it wasn't released the way Diablo 3 was, unfinished.
