I disagree with almost everything said in this forum post.
2.4 has brought TONS OF CHANGES, the PTR is amazing! Set Dungeons are far from the only thing, there is around 150 reworked legendary items, and EVERY SET has been reworked to be comparable for EVERY CLASS.
Gone are the days of "You must run WW or IK to succeed as Barb" because Might of Earth and Raekor are Back! This can be said of every class!
The best part, this is just the base of the cake, 2.5 and 2.6 are going to be the icing that bring RoS to where it should have been all along.
Diablo is my bread and butter and I still very much enjoy it. Some suggested picking up another game and I admit that's not a bad idea for now.
Just s few days ago I started play Path of Exiles and I have to say it's a damn good game. I'm by no means suggesting anyone "give up" on Diablo but when it comes time for a break PoE is worth a look.
Also, to comment on the "micros will NEVER" come to US servers... I call BS. The wouldn't test something like that for no reason. If it makes them money you best believe it's going to be implemented at some point. If not the why even bother is the first place?
Blizzcon is getting more Diablo this year than the least. Plus, remember how RoS wasn't even announced at a Blizzcon? The size (in this case) does not matter. We won't know what's going to happen until it does. It does say "New Content" in the title of the panel. At least that's something new.
I understand what you are getting at. I'm not sure we'll ever see Diablo take a main stage. Shoot, RoS wasn't even announced at a Blizzcon so I'm not sure why people are looking at the size as a negative.
Also, I saw last years stuff... last year, and it wasn't anything compared to this year. I think they did something way cooler by recreating the Slaughtered Calf Inn. If you remember last year they announced new treasure gobs, a few new monster types, and and... Well, that's about it. I read somewhere that they announced Secheron last year, but I don't remember that at all.
Also, this year aren't we getting 3 "Fireside Chats" or some such thing along with the hour long panel?
After reading the Blizcon 2015 - Diablo is Dead post I had to say something, or perhaps ask. I don't understand fully why people are saying Diablo is dead, and if indeed it is dead, why?
I don't understand why that's being said in the first place. Diablo 3 RoS is still getting patched. If the game is dead than why even waste the time, effort, and (probably more importantly in a business) money releasing patches?
I understand Blizz isn't delivering on a time table that we would want, but that doesn't mean its over. I think there is a lot of hints that point in a direction that the game would continue on. I'd say the largest of these points is that they are gradually starting the shift into microtransactions. Apparently on the china side of the house they are starting already and it seems successful enough. Personally I think it's a great idea as long as it doesn't become pay to win.
I mention the microtransactions bc that's a money maker and everyone seems to think that Diablo is going to tank bc it's not making the money of something like Hearthstone. I can kinda understand that. Hearthstone probably takes close to nothing to develop and people seem to be eating that up. They said something like 75 million people are now playing. Well, I've heard anyway from 25-75 mil but still at its lowest estimate that is x5 the player base than WoW . That's 25mil people buying cards and expansion packs. From a business stand point Diablo probably doesn't look like a cash cow, but it could be.
So with all this negativity being thrown around I'd like to ask if anyone has anything positive to say about the longevity of Diablo. I don't think its over. I think there is still plenty of hope for the future of Diablo.
Okay, I need some advice here. I'd lost 2 WD's that we gg and its really starting to get annoying. I love this damn game and season play, but I can't keep doing this. I am going to rebuild a witch doc this third and final time.
What I was hoping from you, the community, is any advice on making the WD a tid-bit more tanky. Granted, one of the deaths was complete lag horse shit, but the first one was completely lagit. I got bitch slapped by Blighter (GR56) and then shot in the dick nuggets by his rappied fire dick bombs.
How many people are getting the ban hammer and could you tell me why? I feel like a nub but I'm out of the loop on this one. How were they hacking? What were they hacking?
I've played diablo for a number of years. I played Dibalo 1-3 and I've enjoyed them all. One of the things I've always liked is you never knew what was waiting around the next corner. Each mob (Elite, Champion, whatever...) was a new challenge. Granted some of those challenges you simply crushed, but others smashed you out. It was exciting!
Well, the idea I had for mixing it up a bit was this...
As I understand it each monster has a certain chance to drop however many different legendries right? Well, what if there was a chance that out of the pool of legendary items that that mob type could drop it gained one of the legendary affixes. It would be as if it were actually using the item against you. I think this would not only spice things up but would add another level of just... awesome to each encounter.
Anyway, that was just a thought. What do you think?
Encase anyone wasn't aware what Sacred Harness is actually doing for you...
Okay, lets see if I'm understanding this correctly. Please, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
First you need to understand what Debilitate does for you. Debilitate makes it so that after casting Judgment enemies in the judged area deal 40% reduced damage for 6 seconds. Sacred Harness (Belt) makes it so that you cast Judgment "freely" at your landing location after using Falling Sword. Falling Sword is a main part of your rotation and will be explained in a moment.
Seeker of Light
2 Set: Every use of Blessed Hammer that hits an enemy reduces the cooldown of Falling Sword and Provoke by 1 second
Okay so this allows you to cast Falling Sword more often allowing you to obtain a "free" Judgment cast giving you more survivability because of Debilitate. Moving on...
4 Set: You take 50% less damage for 8 seconds after landing with Falling Sword
After seeing this I can't see how this has been nurfed. After using Falling Star you take 50% reduced dmg for 8 and cast Judgment "freely" which gives another 40% Dmg reeducation for 6 seconds. Putting a Unity aside you are looking at a 90% dmg reduction for 6 seconds and 50% for 2 seconds after that.
To me this seems OP.
6 Set: Increase the damage of Blessed Hammer by 750% and Falling Sword by 500%.
I'm curious if something has changed with Sacred Harness. If it hasn't yet I couldn't easily see it happening. If you know more about this topic let me know.

Hello all! I'm looking for any information concerning the "top end" dps and what the best 2's comp is going to be.
By top end dps I mean simply the class that is pulling the best numbers and will be mandatory for higher level 2's grifts.
I'd love to hear what people have to say about what the best 2's comp is going to be.

Very well done!
