The moment the freeze ends, a witch doctor casts Horrify which fears the monster for 4 seconds. Since the monster has 30% CC resistance, it’s actually only feared for 2.8 seconds (3 seconds * 70% CC effectiveness = 2.8 seconds).

I dont get this math =p

Typo I'll bet. 3 seconds should be 4 seconds (as mentioned in the line above).

Also, blizzard should totally do these cross department colabs more often. I propose longer lunch breaks. Hire me Blizzrad ;P.

I like using Arcane destruction. I have a high crit damage (195%) two hander, so when the AD crits, it very nearly one shots an elite pack. The downside is that I need to make sure the mob does not have reflect damage (in this case there is mutually assured destruction).

Sorry if another poster has mentioned this already, didn't have time to read everything, but still wanted to put this out there before shooting off to work.

The problem, is that emaralds increase their weapon level up benifit at some point, going from 5% critical hit damage per level, to 10% per level. No other gem does this. They should double the level up benifit for all gems at some point (possibly even earlier for other gems/slots).

Sorry I couldnt link the image, I dont know how to do it.

First upload your image to somewhere internet (for example there is a gallery in your account here diablofans where you can upload images). Then link that image here as a link or using image tags [IMG.]address to your image[/IMG.] (just without those dots).

Thanks, I didn't know about the gallery on Dfans. liveandyoulearn

Lets see, Fast, molten, electrified horde or vortex. Coupled with monster types like snakes that can just run up to you and bypass most of your damage, or a fast mummy (accursed) which are already so fast. I bet haedrig and the other merchants plant these mobs, for serious repair profits.

Off-topic: If our character loses, then the world is over, and everyone dies. But I still pay through my nose for repairs. C'mon, at least let me run a tab.

edit: My off topic rant didn't make sense before.

Throw out all the toys with +MF, your new gf will likely not need them ;).

Four sets of portraits... this could refer to the four acts or four difficulties. Most likely its a set for each act in inferno.

Maybe they are class specific, and the #5 is missing.

Yep, OP is not quite sure what he is talking about. Yes, implementing these numbers take a very short time. BUT, figuring out exactly what those numbers should be, that is the challenge.

I hope these paragorn levels are account bound, else it will remove my drive to farm with my alts, who will have a lower MF if this system pans out how it seems. This is a drag, because sometimes, I feel like a change.

Yeah, these sound like solid changes. It sucked that WotB was my only fury spender. I am really looking forward to rend being used in my kiting build.

Hey All

A question (or two) about diablo3's data usage.

I live in a country where access to fast internet comes at a high price. I currently have a 1mbit uncapped connection, which is above average for the home user in South Africa. The game runs well (okay, I have a minimum of 250ms ping on a good day, but that is because my servers are in europe), but often when things get bad, the ping drops to 500 ms, which is MUCH worse. This is probably because of throttleing by my ISP, or the girlfriend uploading stuff onto facebook etc. Also I imagine there are issues with distance to the exchange and whatnot (I'll admit, I have a limited knowledge about how all those 1's and 0's make it to my house). I have recently toyed with the idea of getting a 3g modem (which is like 8mbit) for playing d3.

The question is, how much data would I need per month for playing the game (I can patch using my adsl, and I play 50-100 hours per month, but probably much closer to 50).

And maybe a more important question, how good is this kind of internet for playing D3 (or games in general).

I understand that linespeed isn't the big issue, its the exchange of data at the exchanges, and "how far" the data has to travel to reach the servers. I would think these factors would be improved when using 3g?

Thoughts?

So in the image showing off the character profiles (on the front page), Bonecrusher has weapons with 2 sockets in each? Is it possible that this was in the internal build at the time, and that we may see this in a future patch? Discuss...

instead of giving MF they should just give us a gold bonus multiplier or something.

I feel like this would be way more profitable.

This was going to be the reason for my "Yes, but...". Like the XP bonus, the new bonus should be instantaneous, like a gold reward.

Wow, 4 threads worth of support. Blizz must have heard this by now. I haven't the time to sift through the 4 threads worth of content, but have there been any more suggested affixes? There should be a slew of them. The idea that they be rare could be different. You could have some common ones "drops a yellow", "drops extra gold", and less common ones like the aforementioned "appraiser". Thus you could make the affixes more common, but the good ones still rare.

Isn't this kinda what the mystic was supposed to do? I was really upset that they got rid of her. Because the mechanic was cool.
