@ The Facebook contest.....
Just wanted to point out that you guys never said anywhere (at least that I know, and I am a pretty stable Diablofans member) how people would be notified they won. I check the news post daiy waiting for details on winner announcements, and never seen anything posted. For that matter, it was never said if the Forum User winners were picked and notified (and how).
May want to announce how winners will be notified (I assumed it would be on D-fans, so never checked my Facebook mail) and leave up a few more days before giving away their prize.
If it was posted, I missed it, and I check news and Forums about 4-5 times a day, so I'm sure others missed it too.
How could we contact someone on Dfans with only their FB info
anyway the point of this IS that post to let people know
the forum contest people have already been contacted, and all have replied.
Normally after you guys run a contest, you have a news post that just says "Congrats to the winners of the XX contest!" and if its a forum contest, name them in the news or something along those lines. Thats all I meant. That didnt happen this time, and I assumed you guys just hadnt picked the winners yet
Either way, I didnt win
And now I know I can stop checking for the announcement LOL.

This is almost exactly what I do as well. Except I normally don't run battlements, I really only run stonefort for KW, becuase there are 2 points where theres a stretch of no mobs and I often lose Archon.
I'l try battlement tonight and see. I guess the only other thing I do is Keeps 3, but I only do 1 pass.....its basically a big X, so I go to the center, pick 1 leg, run it, and port out. Its quick and a good way to finish out the area since I usually have 45 seconds or more left on Archon after Keeps 2.

I prefer to play games the way they were designed. I know, its crazy.
Also, it is obvious by your tone, you just want to start arguments. People have different opinions than you, you don't have to get mad, sarcastic, and aggressive about it. I think the item hunt is badly designed, I think reflect damage is not tuned correctly compared to the other affixes. I am entitled to those opinions.
Drink some water, take a few deep breaths, and try not to get so upset over it.

It was not posted by Blizzard, it was supposedly (meaning rumored to be) the slate for all new games. It was found on some foreign site and was never even confirmed to actually be from Blizzard. The article you linked even clearly states it was a leaked product......
Blizzard never recognized it as official, Blizzard never posted it anywhere, it was never comfirmed to be legitimate.
Blizzard has never said or posted that Titam would be released in 2013.

I don't know how true this is, but it feels like it. It's easy for people to say "just don't use the AH! It's fun!", but to me thats just playing a fake game mode to try and make the game fun, like the guy who went and counted all the corpses in every area.....I bet that was fun for him, but not sure would work for everyone.....
If I said....."dude stop complaining, the games great, go count corpses!! it's fun!!!" I'm pretty sure thats not the same as saying the game design is great. I don't even think the time invested to get a decent item is that bad, it's all the garbage items you get along the way. I just want 1/10th the items, but 10 times the quality of drops. They could easily do this by removing some garbage stats (individual resits, HP globes etc.) and not letting more then 1 primary roll. About 1 in 10 instead of 1 in 100......but get 10 items in the time it took to get 100 before. Same number of decent items, less time unIDing trash.

I think a lot of your suggestions are good, but until they find a way to make it so a guy can go out and farm up some gear worth using, the game is not going to get better. Currently the only legitimate way to gear yourself is the AH. A game designed around a loot hunt should actually reward you with loot you can use.

So, you really think in 2012, with all these other games out there nailing it the 1st time.....with less development time......and a Company as experienced in RPGs and ARPGs and Diablo......it should take 3 years to get it right??
It should have been a much more polished and complete experience already. Blizzard already learned their lessons from D2, they shouldnt be making the same mistakes. And if they do, it shouldnt take 3 years to fix them.
I don't think Blizzard is the same as they used to be, they don't feel like they are putting in the same time and effort as they used to. They are judging their success based on subscription fees and the RMAH, and as long as they continue to be a billion dollar company, they are not going to implement a lot of the changes the game needs immediately, because to them the game is a huge success.
It's about quantity here, not quality. Which is not what I expect from Blizzard.

The build Ive been using up until about 3 days ago required no APOC.
I also agree there are other builds that work without APOC, but I have not found any builds that give the versatility of spammable teleport, Time Warp, skin, and most of all nova, all while maintaining really high DPS and a ton of defense thru CM proccing LOH/LS and spammable diamond skin.
Maybe they exist, but I have been a wizard since the game started, tried alls kinds of builds, CM is really powerful right now.

I only say this because I was looking into a Chantados for a lot of the reasons above, but was going to lose a lot of DPS. So I searched for a triumvirate with APOC just to see and I found a really nice one that only lowered my dps 4k (@170k) and added 10 APOC for 10 Mil. (there were ones ranging from under a mil and up as well)
I know it doesnt have IAS, but its a great option for those not wanting to invest in the Chantados set yet, or dont have the funds.

No one was bashing the OP anyway. People were telling him his build isnt that good. We are entitled to that opinion.
More specifically, most people were telling him he made a false statement. He declared:
"No matter HOW powerful you are or how fast you regenerate your arcane power. YOU RUN OUT...100% of the time..All the time..every time...You ran out like 3 seconds ago while reading this I swear and promise you did. So do not lie about it. lol."
So clearly he was misinformed, and since this is a forum for Wizards, with a lot of Wizards that know this statement is false, people tried to tell him he is wrong. And almost all of them suggested better options. In fact, JK gave him very specific help on making his "ice wizard" build.
You can get mad about it if you want, but if you come to an open forum, post false statements, talk about how effective your new build is, expect some people might disagree. This is true even if he was 100% correct, because at the end of the day, everyone has there own opinion. You are not adding anything to the discussion or making things better by getting on here and bashing everyone who had a differing opinion, and expressed it. Especially when not a single post in here was rude or mean towards the OP.........
EDIT: Also just wanted to point out, this thread was actually pretty constructive until you 2 came along causing drama. reread the replies closely, look at where the thread derailed. It wasnt JK, me or any other wizard trying to help the OP.

You said "There is all sorts of equipment that adds attack speed on pants, belt, and chest too."
All one sentence. I just wanted to clarify there are very few options, so the OP or anyone else did not try searching for items that dont exist.
You are correct about other items and IAS, but your sentence was misleading if thats what you meant to say. Just trying to clear things up for readers.....and ask if their are items I didnt know about....cuz I want them.

Would have been much easier to just say "the price is about the same as 1 december, the price goes up and down a lot"
Points for being dramatic though.

Yah, this is the worst comparison ever.
This is a game, with continuing development, by a company well-known for changing its "recipe" based on the customer.
It's not your Mom's homemade sauce recipe.....how silly.

Servers would reduce the number of items in the market, but would cost a whole bunch of other issues. Especially since the game discourages multiple characters so much.
In wow or similar MMOs, starting on a new server to be with friends makes sense because everytime you log in, you can find them in the game world, and do stuff together. In a linear game with 4 difficulties, it wouldnt make sense to do that, it would just be frustrating not being able to play with who you want. And the benefit is transparent.
To the average casual gamer logging in, they would not see the benefit of servers.....but would see the negative result when they tried to play with family and friends and cant.

Pants: 1 item (Innas)
Belt: 1 item (Witching Hour)
Chest 1 item (Tal Rashas)
Not sure what other items you meant. Unless you meant the lvl 30ish items?

You really dont get much benefit from 1400-2000 armor when you can constantly refresh skin.
The extra DPS on the other hand.......
That and APOC on sources is extremely beneficial......
Only way I would use a shield is if I was a new Wiz, a 10% crit shield would be a nice cheap way to get my crit where it needs to be, and add some defense until I could get my APS and crit where it needs to be to insta-proc CDs without the shield.
