When you take away the ability to trade effectively, you need to compensate for it. I feel they are trying to do just that.
I think if all they did was remove the auction house but left everything else the same (ability to trade legends and gold), we would never see the above changes.

THEY ARE GOING TO EXPLODE WITH ACTIVITY!
Think of the web traffic they are going to get once this change happens? Ad revenue is going to shoot through the roof.
Blizzard just let the website owners make a lot more money. -

"regenerate 4% of your maximum Life per second for 60 seconds"
"ou gain 2% of your maximum Life per second."
Thats the balance? Barb heals double the amount and everybody?
You're mixing barb with demonhunter with that 2% max life per second.
Barb gives 4% life regen to entire party which is very balanced since it affects everyone
Barb also gets 620 life per second that's shared too.
But to get both buffs, barbs are giving up a lot of staple buffs, like the 20% resistance to entire party... and a damage passive.
Since it affects the entire party and not just the barb, I consider that balanced well enough. -
Sep 21, 2012Bodycount1 posted a message on Patch 1.0.5 PTR Patch Notes - 1.0.5 Coming to the PTRThey just devalued magic find on gear again. First time was with paragon levels. Second time is with this new change to later acts dropping more properties.Posted in: News
Why even have magic find on gear anymore?
I'm only paragon 19 but I have max magic find from my gear farming act 3. I gave up some HP and damage for it. Looks like I'll have to regear again. Most likely something they want and expecting people to do to use the RMAH so they get more money. -

Let me tell you what will happen with barbs guys;
Barbs will drop warcry all together, and get an other fancy ass skill. The 20% Armor buff will be easilly negated by the inferno damage nerf.
That leaves the 20% all resistance. But heres the thing. Most barbs run around with 500-600 all res unbuffed. That means they need to gather ~100-120 all res to get on the same level that warcry would. This is a mere 2 items with all res!
In other words, gather up those random rolled all res items! (lacuni prowlers with str / all res for example)
I already increased my Resist All yesterday by 80 because I knew Resist All items are going to go up in price soon.
Now i'm at 1000 with current war cry buff. Should drop down to 600-700 without it. That's enough to do inferno after the 1.0.5 nerfs. Especially if you have room to pick up Superstition passive.. WW barbs could offtank on the side then. -

They can make it easier and easier to obtain loot; but until the loot is interesting to obtain, what's the point?
The easier loot is to get, the more useless the AH becomes. Soon instead of vendoring 95% of all drops, you will vendor 99.9% of all drops meaning have fun trying to make gold. The people will billions of gold right now will be the 1% and have all the power in this game. -
Sep 14, 2012Bodycount1 posted a message on Dev Journal: Defensive Bonuses and Monster DamageEvery class has some sort of resistance buff right? Barb it's war cry and it's being nerfed. OWE is the monk one and it has to be nerfed as well. Only problem is it ties into gear choices where as war cry doesn't.Posted in: News
So it's gotta be nerfed to be fair. My guess it that they will make it not double stack anymore. Meaning if you have a single resist and a resist all, you wont be able to add them together. It will pick the larger of the two and ignore the smaller value. That's the only way I can see it nerfed without hurting current gear choices. -
Sep 14, 2012Bodycount1 posted a message on Dev Journal: Defensive Bonuses and Monster DamageIf I take the same damage now with War Cry: Impunity as I do in 1.0.5 without that buff, then I'll be happy. Sure in public games they wont like me since I won't provide the buff but I'll get to pick something else to help out.Posted in: News
Looks like I need to invest in more resist all now before prices go up again.
And I don't use Leap in my current WW build... but when I did use leap, I mainly used it as another shield cooldown like they mentioned they dont want us to use it as. It's the only good reason to take Leap besides jumping for shortcuts. They should lower the cooldown to 6 seconds if they lower the armor buff to 3 seconds. -

This led me to change my Battle Rage and Wrath runes.
I took Bloodshed with Battle Rage which seems to work well when I'm critting for 100k. It takes 20% of the damage dealt and spreads it to everything else near the target.
Wrath i changed the rune to Slaughter. Again once I crit it blows up everything around that target for 155% weapon damage. With 55% crit.. I can burn down champ packs in seconds.. like five seconds now it's insane. Health link packs are my new favorite lol. They go down in 2-3 seconds if I'm lucky with the crits.
Really liking this spec. It's not the boring WW spec every other barb with high crit plays. It's go in there with both weapons and face tank them down in seconds.. then move onto the next pack.

Bought the perfect star ruby on the AH because it was cheap.

Barbs with overpower have it easy mode on that guy.

I was wondering if I should be switching to Overpower (with Revel rune for healing).
I'm at 40% crit.
Revenge hits at 220% weapon damage. Overpower hits at 165% weapon damage. Revenge gives 5% health per target hit. Overpower (with rune) gives 8% health per target hit.
At my crit level.. should I be using Overpower? Even though it hits for less damage but heals for more?
I'm at 471 LOH and 536 Life per sec. at 48k health.

wouldn't be hard to do an entire pack full in a couple minutes.

Yes I know you get more yellows with higher MF, I'm just trying to say with my full DPS set, I can blow by champ packs in 5-10 seconds and move to the next one. I have 150 gold find and honestly to me I find that more useful since it's always on and I sometimes see 2000-2500 gold drops from white mobs. It more than pays for any deaths I might get due to a bad luck champ pack I might run across.

Most likely the person who bought it already had a main hand weapon with crit damage and a socket for more crit damage but didn't have LOH so they needed this thing.

Just to compare, I bought a 158 str, 209 int, 73 vit, 63 resist all, 5% life helm for 4 million a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't pay that for your helm I know that.

That guy has 3 billion gold. How much do I trust that photo wasn't photoshopped?

Let all rares be id'ed when they drop. It won't change a thing except kill the unid market .. but blizzard doesn't get a cut from that so it's in their best interest to do it.

But that being said, people who have low starting bids have no right to complain if it sells for that starting bid. They knew it could sell for that when they posted it. Did they lose out on a lot of gold? Sure they did... but it was their choice to do so... not the snipers choice.
Just remember, you have total control of all your sales, not the buyer.

It only happened once and only to two items though. So it happening to eight items I guess *could* happen... just dont know the odds of it.
