but after playing WoW for 5 years and watching how poorly the devs handled the Hunter class and seeing how poorly handled Diablo III is after only two months...yeah.

So when does open beta end? Anyone know?

We all knew this game would have bugs. Testers can catch some of them, but some bugs are going to slip through because they can only be caught by excessive brute force testing which is very expensive and not always possible.

The problem is, with as long as the beta ran and as many people that were in it, they could have caught all of these bugs. However, Blizzard was so protective of story spoilers (which all leaked before release anyway), that they wouldn't let beta testers play 90% of the game, so there was no way for us to see how these skill/rune combinations could be exploited. Had the full game, or at least the full compliment of skills and runes been available in beta, I guarantee most of these bugs would have been found before the game released.

As it is, we're just over 2 months into finally being able to "test" the remaining 90% of the game's features for them.

You realize those screenshots were taken early in development and some things changed since then right? Scoundrel/Enchantress cant use offhands just like we cant have double gems in our weapons.

Look at the very bottom of the screenshot.

This is nice, but if they dicide to implement solution 4 as it is now, i will be happy. Just becouse it kills MF swap without hurting normal players.

the reason it can end up good though is life steal is all damage, so if you're standing in the middle of 20 mobs with sweeping winds hitting them all (and possibly cyclones if you're running that rune) that 240hp becomes 4800hp per tick of sweeping winds, and that's before you start punching things.

Life on Hit is nearly the same.

Meteor - ~60% of Life on Hit returned per enemy hit, per Meteor (This applies to every Meteor except the Meteor Shower rune I believe)

So, if my LoH total is 1000, I get 600 back from each enemy hit by my single casting of Meteor.

If a skill can hit more targets, it is actually better for Life on Hit, than if it only hits one.

It's exactly what it says, lifesteal gets a 80% penalty in inferno, i.e. 3% on a weapon will only leech 0.6%.

Yeah, but do you know how much that can mean though? My monk's output is about 20k, reaching 40k on critical hits. Go and do the math of 0.6 of 40,000.. its not too shabby, the reduction makes complete sense, or else it would be a very overpowered stat. Shame they didn't indicate the scaling anywhere in the game though.
