I use it, but not for my sake, its to keep the dogs up a bit longer, till the next cooldown.

If you want to be helpful, I think most people would prefer to see champion packs instead of bosses.

Good idea, ill start Frappsing a few runs and make a nice compilation.

I'm not sure why people do these videos. It's not like what he did in the video takes any skill. Once you get a certain amount of gear, this is what happens. Especially siegebreaker, lol... he's serious buisness.

Allow me to explain then. First i had all this same gear when i beat the game, sans the weapon. And it wasnt anywhere near this easy before the pet buff in 1.04, i had to kite him around and it wasnt a joke like it is in the vid. Again im not trying to show off any skill. But as i read forums and see people still having issues with a3 and beyond, i post vids like this to show how easy it can be with avg DPS, HP and Resists, if you just spec correctly for the fight. Most importantly its to show other WD's how much pets can truly do. When the patch first hit I just stuck to farming A1/A2 with VQ and bears. Honestly i was unwilling to let go of PtV, VQ and BBV, I thought pets would be horrible, but after much reluctance i tried A3 like this and now thats all i farm. So thanks for all the replies even if they were negative.

now show me how ez you kill ghrom..

Not by any means an optimized speed kill, just showing how easy it is with pets.

As noted in the video, Spirit Vessel is just there for insurance, you can use whatever.



Hope it helps someone.

Havent noticed the all res, but ive notice a spike in +armor frequency. Ive had a few helms with like 600+ armor.

First off its impossible to hit 400% mf. Second you cant reach 300% before NV unless you gear swap to a mf weapon. There was already an MF cap, its what the max possible gear could give. If you dont gear swap to a shit mf weapon, you would win at paragon 100 over now. If you did you lose 5% mf. So its actually hurting gear swap more?

OK Sure, there is also a max DPS in the game, yet Paragon will give small passive bumps in DPS in the form of stats, so in theory someone may someday, even if they arent at the cap now, may come against the current cap in the future. So what right? They can just sell off that pesky 1293 DPS 1h for a 1067 one, right? Fact is its only the two most important adventuring stats that will suffer this fate.

dps is capped already by maximum affixes on items and skills, so is everything in the game....

paragon is just an addition, a goodie for ppl who play alot.... i dont know the hard cap of mf now but i am sure its around 300 so if u do like some runs per day, mf will be the way to go for a long time.. if u play hardcore u can skip mf stuff and go for hardcore dps to finish stuff faster..

Yes but the cap is LOWER then what can be gotten with gear. Again, you will be getting passive DPS and survivability boosts with Paragon, should they start making DPS and DEF caps too? 1000k max resists???

Quote from Khaleesi

Cant wait to repost this along with my argument to promote a rethink on the "hard cap" on the official forums once it lets me login again =P

Good luck, Blizz does indeed cave in (see Death Knight fiasco) but Id bet they would make Paragon account wide before they lifted the cap. JW is Hell bent to equalize the drop rates at the top. THE HOUSE MUST MAINTAIN ALL ADVANTAGES!

If they capped DPS at 50k and only let you get 10k more through Paragon, people would be hitting the roof. I mean so what if you got more DPS on your gear already then the cap allows, now you can just sell it off for better Defensive stats, hooray! I mean come on it will be a few months before you hit the DPS cap, so that makes it OK right??!?!

All apologetics aside, i feel for the OP. I dont care if hes not at the cap yet or if hes got 6mos to worry about it. Its the long slow death of magic find as i see it. I played D2 for around 10 years, with the intent to play this game as long as possible, so yes, maybe its going to be a few months or a year before all MF is equal among top end game players, but thats like the first 1/10th of my future D3 carrer. So potentially the overwhelming majority of my D3 life will have been spent MF capped. Im not cool with that, sorry.

Good morning D-fans.

From the preview:
"Speaking of how a skill feels, the reason players avoid many of the lesser used witch doctor skills have more to do with the skill feeling "slow." For example, Firebomb, Plague of Toads, and Corpse Spiders all have animation timing issues which are being improved for 1.0.4."

From the patch notes:
"The spellcasting animations for the following skills have been modified to allow the effect to occur quicker and for the player to move sooner after casting: Acid Cloud, Corpse Spiders, Firebomb, Locust Swarm, Poison Dart, and Zombie Charger"

Plague of Toads didn't make the cut.

Its 9:41 CST and ive yet to log into the game. I was going to have one last VQ Bear spam hurrah before 1.04 but the MF cap has taken all the wind out of my sails. No matter if i wont be affected for 20 ish levels or whatever, its killing any long term hopes i had. Its going to take quite a bit to distract me from that fact and with only an arena style PvP coming i really cant see myself having a long love affair with this game, akin to D2. So bummed still...

Off topic, but whenever Jay Wilson reminds me of whats fun and whats not, i always think of Grass Valley Greg - (should start @ 2:43) If not fast forward to it.
