so much for HC inferno players if you can't avoid that 170k hit minus armor and etc
not to mention assuming you can reach inferno mode without dying on the others

The fun is in playing the game, not working out how to play it.
I agree with Jay but I think the skill-UI redesign made the game a lot harder to figure out how to play. I've played the Beta with both the old UI and new UI and found the old UI much much easier to use. The new UI makes me jump through hoops to get things done and I dread leveling just because it means I'll have to go fuck with the UI to access my new skills/runes (this is compounded by the fact that the skill/rune you just unlocked is not easy to discover).
I really hate the new skill UI and feel it did the exact opposite of what Jay wanted it to do: it made working out how to play the game difficult and irritating. It was honestly enough to make me want to stop playing.
Also, Jay's excuse about wanting to hide the "elective mode" skill option and keep it as "tribal knowledge" is complete BS. He's plainly admitting that they're actively designing a bad user experience by (1) making a setting that should be default not default, and (2) making the discovery of the setting difficult to find (this is a no-no for good UI). I really want to set up a google trend search to track just how many people need to hit the web to find out how to change the skill settings. If this number is high enough it will be a clear indication that blizz killed the user experience with this "improvement."
My 2-cents.

I don't know if it's just me but lately I haven't been getting any yellow item at all from the SK. First time I killed him with every character it was a guaranteed drop, now it isn't

It seems you guys legitimately got the beta in that last huge wave. My friend still doesn't have one on his account.

I did a playthrough with a friend and he didn't get a single rare on SK first kill. I was actually going to go report as a bug due to that blue post about it.
Also, anyone notice that you now can't barb leap over "barricades"? Super annoying

I'm always amazed when I hear people call diablo a single player game. I've never thought of that "option" as I only play multiplayer games ... like diablo lol

Yes my roommate got one ... he's done nothing towards D3 besides join opt-in a year or 2 ago.

These are instantly loaded onto the BNet account and it just takes time for the email, right? Or is there still a chance he can get one soon or was that it?

Excellent addendum, thank you!
This is from a recent blue, I would like to see exact "cycle metrics" on these spells. How much damage per tick/how often it ticks.

What is the difference between dodge/armor/defense/resistance in terms of what they negate, how much of it, how often, and what's the diminishing return on them.
A complete list of possible random attributes with what kind of items they can appear on (i.e. +damage [rings+weapons only], +intelligence[all items], etc).

Very good point sir, I completely agree. The slow does make it feasible in certain situations: what that's like in inferno, who knows
It'll be nice in inferno, however, actually needing to slow mobs.

The key to this is to never run out mana while having +40% damage constantly and another +20% in bursts. With the correct gear you should be able to constantly "firebat" without draining your mana.
