    soulzek posted a message on The Most Powerful Class For End Game
    Witch Doctor, for the same reasons the Necromancer could solo hell without any gear. Summons provide an unending source of meatshields and damage. Also, the Summoners's manipulative skills scale with how powerful the monsters are (Corpse Explosion / Horrify). It's really no contest. Every other class will have to worry about running around and avoiding taking damage (Demon Hunter the most).

    I can see this feature bleeding over from WoW. It's a nice little touch that helps players quickly identify who is what. What are your predictions?

    Barbarian
    Demon Hunter
    Monk
    Witch Doctor
    Wizard

    You should clarify that the top one is the new one and the bottom one is the old one. Anyway...

    I definitely like the new ones. The old top tier ones looked ridiculous with their round star'ness. However, I did like the old low tier ones because they highly resemble D2 gems, which is kinda why I like the new ones better because that style doesn't really fit D3.

    Why haven't they been able to release a single screenshot of the DH's resource? :(

    And I'm glad they put enough time in it to make them look awesome, makes staring at the same thing for over 100 hours easier :D

    go to 1:45

    Not an official release obviously, but there she is.

    Thanks for the video, added it into the others up top.

    Quote from Doomscream

    The spirit was actually described as more "gassy" but the low quality of the cellphone screenshots make it look like a liquid.

    It does appear to have jagged lifts at the top of it instead of being purely flat like the Arcane Power picture. It being gas would explain that.

    I just love the way the new resource orbs look. They are highly detailed and aren't one solid color. In some videos you can see it swirling within the orb. My favorite is easily Arcane Power. It's simply pure awesome in energy form.

    Spirit (Monk)


    Fury (Barbarian)


    Arcane Power (Wizard)


    Mana (Witch Doctor)


    Hatred & Discipline (Demon Hunter)


    Compare to D1/D2 orbs:

    soulzek posted a message on New WD Skill Info and Changes
    Quote from proletaria

    If BBV mirrors it's WC3 counterpart it will cause pets to be damage immune for a given duration, but force the WD to remain vulnerable and possibly standing in place casting the spell.

    How awsome or terrible that might (situationally) be largely depends on the AI's ability to recognize those pets as being immune and focus fire the squishy WD.

    If they made the AI react to it and come swarm you, it'd basically make the spell a suicide spell without any benefit. At least I definitely wouldn't ever use it in that case.

    I can see them dropping fairly often in the beginning of the game but come hell/inferno your gunna be begging for one.

    I like this idea and, I too, hope that is how they implement it.

    Agree, would be nice to see a healing style of build (Monk?) become viable. Heck, paladins had a heal bolt and a healing aura in D2.

    Is Diablo III free to play?



    Depends on how you look at it. Isn't Activision smart?

    Quote from zeKru

    I was giving it a second thought, would there actually be organized chinese farming since they are legalizing GOLD/DOLLAR trade.. I don't think so, there is no incentives for chinese farmers to go into a sweatshop and farm a certain item anymore, because they can do it by themselves, they don't need a company to sell it for them anymore. They can do all of it themselves...

    This is taking for granted the various pleasures of life a citizen of China may not have. For example, a computer, electricity, an internet connection, and a valid license of Diablo III.

    So what are you suggesting a farmhouse existing with computers for the to play diablo3 and farm monitoring what they make and taking a cut??

    This is how it works, yes. There is a physical building with computers in it, all with Diablo III installed and Battle.net accounts for each copy of the game. Someone owns all this property and hires workers to come in and grind/farm loot a certain number of hours a day. The owner may personally manage the loot obtained or have a whole other department to do so. A gold farmer is literally the standard american office job. Only they play games instead of working with microsoft office. And they have horrible working conditions and hours.

    Why is it this way? Well, for an analogous example, I could say what's stopping you from going out into the oil industry and simply doing it all yourself instead of working through a company? For one, you probably don't own an oil rig.

    Developers don't have infinite time and PvP is a whole 'nother system that needs to be tweaked and balanced on an entirely different principle than PvE. Would you prefer Blizzard delay the release of the game for another year or two? I certainly wouldn't.

    Quote from Faillll

    PVP
    This one is pretty easy. Gear received from putting effort into the game < purchased gear... The whole pvp system is also blown because of the fact that the game is, again, made for pussies and 12 year olds and they want their fairyland to take precedent over putting effort into balancing.

    A very biased statement. Thank you for giving me reason not to read the rest of your well-thought-out spew.

    soulzek posted a message on Normal, Nightmare, Hell and INFERNO
    Quote from Daemaro

    If there is a fourth difficulty it's probably insanely hard.

    Something like creatures in Hell range from 45-59 and then everything in Inferno will be 60. :P

    This is how I see it. Blizzard already declared the level ranges, with Hell being 50-60. Hopefully Inferno will be a game difficulty fully dedicated to supplying endgame content. Meaning, of course, the level range for Inferno would be strictly level 60 only.

    Perhaps it will contain the highest quality loot by far, and (hopefully) not be solo-able.

    soulzek posted a message on No Offline Mode - No More Bot/Hacks!
    Quote from Ophion

    The ability to hack in D2 has nothing to do with its offline mode, it is simply an old game with an old server structure. Removing offline mode was not done to prevent hacking, and if it would make a return it would not mean the return of hacking. I just want to point that out.

    Unfortunately, this is incorrect (as previously stated)*. It does have an impact, but it is not really worth discussing. And, true, we can't really be absolutely certain why Blizzard decided to remove single player. This is really just the best educated guess as to why.

    *I have personal experience with the internal workings of software mechanics (as well as a degree in related fields). I'm not just saying this for no reason.
