You can check our youtube page that has the blizzcon coverage. I unfortunately cannot remember exactly who, where, and when it was shown.

I can probably find an older photo though with the skill being used.
EDIT:
Our own wiki has an older img

May 1, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Clarification on BoE Removal and Set ItemsIt looks like the folks over at diablo.incgamers.com are getting a translator to translate the entire interview for those interested: http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=797856Posted in: News
Make sure to scroll down through all the junk to find the separate posts of the interview. Nothing much revealed that we didn't know already. Some interesting talk about battle.net 2.0 though:
6. Is there anything you can share with us about battle.net2.0 for D3? any new feature that you think is exciting?that sc2 doesn't have?
Official Blizzard Quote:
Most focus for battle.net for D3 is around taking a lot of the features that we already have and adapting it to our own unique nature of Diablo. So...cooperative match making, is a big function, while there is a aspect of that in Starcraft 2, it's vastly different. Diablo3 is a little more dynamic, people can come into game and leave dynamicly, and there is no lobby system per se. There is no reason that when you start searching for a game, you can't just be immiately to be put in a game, and have to search in the background and continue to go. So, a lot of features focus around taking these thing and adapting. Messaging system, so you can open games up to other players. We have a system called "Arms", where we essentially broadcast the fact that you can broadcast to other people that you want them to come and join your game. So, there is a lot of features like that we focus on. Achievements are essentially a system that we are very happy with. We will continue to focus on content improvement. So, we are more focused on "let's make better quality achievements", that are more fun to get, that are better motivators for players, and less focused on....there is not a lot of hug features we want to add there. We mostly want to iterate the quality of that feature set. There are others things we are planning, but they are not announced yet.
And here's the translation from Google:
Blood Face Killer: battle net systems, Diablo 3, any new features, different from StarCraft 2? Incentives brought about by the achievement system is what? Title? Item? Or what?

Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo 3, Blizzard, and to some extent, more similar to StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, but the co-Battle is a very important part. StarCraft 2 there, but there is a very big difference. In Diablo 3 the player can freely enter or leave at any time in different rooms. However, in Star 2 will not work. Starcraft 2 Battle Battle need to search for matches, and Diablo 3, do not need.
In Diablo 3 has a unique information system in Arms (the word also need to listen and confirm), which is a broadcasting system, you can use this system to inform all online players, what you will do things such as start team or create games.
We are very satisfied with the current achievements of the system, our energy primarily on the achievements of the contents of the system can attract good players to complete these achievements. And not to do a lot of meaningful incentives to attract players.

Apr 30, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Clarification on BoE Removal and Set ItemsPosted in: NewsQuote from ScyberDragon
Maybe it is just the way they are explaining legendary items. As in legendary items just have set attributes because they are supposed to be, by lore reasoning, known items.
Huh? -
Apr 30, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Clarification on BoE Removal and Set ItemsWell, the difference is, there are no "just" Set quality items, i.e. there are no green items.Posted in: News
If set items ARE Legendaries, there are no set items, only Legendary items that have set attributes.
Big difference. And it would conflict with the supposed theory that we'd see green items drop -
Apr 30, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Clarification on BoE Removal and Set ItemsNo, something doesn't make sense here.Posted in: News
So, set items are legendaries that happen to have set bonuses? It's still not clear to me, regardless of how many of these posts I read. Will there be set items that are not legendary?
Every time I hear "Set items are now legendaries defined by a set bonus." it says that all set items are legendaries. Is this correct? -
Apr 30, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Clarification on BoE Removal and Set ItemsSo if I understand this correctly, the item qualities will be like this:Posted in: News
(revised, from ScyberDragon, from the wiki)
- Artifact (unknown color)
- Common (white)
- Uncommon (blue)
- Rare (gold/yellow)
- Set (green)
- Legendary (orange)
This according to ScyberDragon and the Items (Diablo III). -

Apr 27, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Mercenaries, Hirelings, Followers...Am I the only one that thinks hirelings like in D2 is a bad idea for D3?Posted in: News
From what we've seen in the gameplay videos, when you get 4 players on a screen, there's a lot of shit going on. Adding mercs to the mess seems like too much.
Also, I never liked the mercs in D2 anyway... they were inanimate NPCs that didn't know how to not die, so I never got one past Act 1. -
Apr 19, 2011CherubDown posted a message on Where's Beta?Posted in: NewsQuote from ScyberDragon
UPDATE: I asked Bashiok if they had plans on how and when they are going to announce these remaining systems.
It appears as though Blizzard knows exactly what they will be doing up until beta and more importantly, when they plan on starting beta.
You, sir, win. At life. Diablofans just became the go-to source for D3 news. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Official Blizzard Quote:
While we're talking about PvP it's probably worth reminding everyone that what we're targeting is a very loose and 'for fun' system. Imagine clicking a button, being matched up against another team of equal skill and gear, and win or lose you move forward (although faster if you win) on a personal progression system that gives you some cosmetic recognition as you go. There won't be ladders or leagues, we have no intent to expose team ratings, and very likely nothing besides a win/loss record to track performance etc. etc. etc. Anyone who has tried it at BlizzCon knows the PvP in Diablo III is a blast, but I've seen some people start to get ideas that it's going to be an eSport, and that's just not something we're targeting - for the sake of our goals in the single player/co-op experience.
So glad he repeated this again. They've been saying this for like... well, since they introduced the arena back in 2010. PvP is not supposed to be an eSport in Diablo 3.

The exact wording is as it was in D2 "10% Better Chance to Finding Magical Items", which means exactly what it says. If you have an item that has a 0.003% chance of dropping and you have, say 50% MF, your total chance would be:
0.003% + 0.003%*0.5 = 0.0045%
