The leveling used to be more challenging, but it was nerfed alot. The only purpose now is to tell you a story and get you familiar with your class. The real game begins on 70th level now. You will unlock more difficulty levels after you beat the game first time.
The only thing worth crafting - few items from aughild set http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/aughilds-power . You need 2 or 3 items for set bonus, it depends if you have a ring of a royal grandeur or not. If you do not have the ring - you should farm it from act1 bounty caches.
Nevertheless, you will replace it all very soon with class specific sets and legendaries.
but i hope blizz implant som kind of penalty when u die in Grift in SC. Looks so lame when ppl dies many times and still get the rank 1 AND brag about it.
HC ftw
i hope blizz remove exploit on reseting your death prevention talent with relogging in HC. Looks so lame when ppl proc many times, relog and still get the rank 1 AND brag about it.
The easiest way to do it is, just before you begin the gheed fight just teleport to town unsocket the gem and drop it in town and start the fight with gheed and you will get another boon hoarder again. I done it and it works
It is not a wise thing to do in the game, where everything from the ground is lost after a disconnect or an accidental logout
One of the strongest current <class+build> uses hybrid cold+fire skill setup, and i would not say that they feel *restricted* now, because all together synergizes very well(m6)
I believe it's because the PC is the "pure" version. The console versions will be hacked, duped, etc. all over the place. I would think the console is the "casual" version of Diablo.
That is true, consoles do not require permanent internet connection and are flooded with dupes, so small trading acts will not affect a general casual non-competitive environment.
Leg gems are currently my only easily obtainable source of upgrades because my gear is almost maxed out. I have no incentive to play seasons otherwise, and I think this applies to other people with nearly maxed out gear.
OP, armory link please? always interesting to see ppl with maxed gear, to see how we can improve ourself
1) The addon killed life leech (my favorite stat in all ARPGs, Q_Q)
2) Life regen is boring
3) LoH is boring
4) Fury-spend heal is ok
5) Globes are.. awesome!
If you agree with these statements, have a further look on a funny build
Pimp my Globe! (Maximus edition)
The build is focusing on a very stable healing and pretty good aoe damage, while spinning in the middle of a battle.
Single target damage is pretty mediocre, possible problems with fury.
secondary stats that might present on your gear already:
Items with bonus healing to health Globes. The bonus buffs both Globes and bloodthrust passive, do not underestimate it.
2-3 items with bonus pickup radius
Maximus fire chain damage is insane, you can kill trash just by walking(or spinning) through them. Learn to use it well.
Whirlwind is the main dps skill:
1) it gives you a nice aoe fire damage
2) it gives you constant healing with healing on fury spend
3) you can move through the crowd - it is very usefull for maximus chain, to move away from a danger or to pick up a Globe.
Globe is your precious:
1) it heals you
2) it gives you fury
3) it explodes for 400% fire damage (with belt)
Do not use many pickup bonus items - you must control when you pickup a Globe.
Try to gather elites/trash together with stomp and aoe them down with whirlwind + maximus chain.
a weird build.. you could switch to HotA + rend/bloodlust build and clean up to mp7-8 without problems.
or get an amulet with ~900 life-per-hit and switch to WW-skorn barb, it will be more efficient on MP5, when you get used to it.
Barabrian changes are retarded - seems like they are pushing us to S&B tanks. Many enemy pulls, healing based on fury spend and maximum life, nerfing top 3 dpsing passives...
Obviously the max possible damage rolls of each type will be balanced in such a way that effects are competitive and there isn't one outright "most efficient" choice. yah, like CD is balanced on par with other stats.. oh wait..

the interview is a ridiculous facepalm. every1 who played the game for a some time know about this little annoying things.. blizzards do not have testers and do not play their own game, so they need such points from commuinty?

i've wasted about 2000 shards on pants and got 5(!)Hammer Jammers, rest - yellow/blue.
Once it was like: leg pants, 1 yellow, leg pants.
If rng does not like you - all your 'targeted' intentions worth nothing )

ps:
i am aware about hota globes and stomp Globes bonuses, but they did not fit in the build for me - may be they will work for you.
