It might also mean that 61 level items found from level 63 level mobs will have better stat rolls. I bet we'll get some blue posts on that later tonight.Quote from pipomolo
Yay! Even more crappy iLvl63 items. Like we didn't have enough of those already!
True, but still, if monster levels per act remain the same, this means you won't get really good items unless you're doing act III or IV. This really defeats the drop rate changes they've been doing in patch 1.0.3, which was supposed to allow people getting good drops even in lower acts. So I really hope there will be some cap to this system, which would only have lower level items buffed, not nerf the higher ones.

Well it turns out my theory was wrong after all, and the proc chance nerf of sprint will affect fury generation as well. So the build will be much harder to use.

Dear colleague Gamers,
I'm reading the forums and checking diablofans web regularly since forever... And today I decided to read this topic and check if somebody is worried regarding the same thing I am. This usually happens a lot, but today nobody wrote anything about my concerns and I decided to make an account and write you few words...
Enough about me.
So:
Affixes on items will now roll their level based on the level of the monster killed (rather than the item’s level)
A simple question: Do you know which monsters are lvl 63? Which elites from which acts can actually drop a decent loot now? Because I'm kinda sure that Act1 for example has only 1 type lvl 63 monster. And Act3? How many monsters are lvl 63? Which? I think this will make us do Act4 instead of Act3. The change regarding the quests and the resplended chests is for the same reason - quicker NV5 for the smallest act in the game. I might be very amazingly turbo mega wrong. If someone got a table with monster lvls for Inferno - please share. Because otherwise - We Be F*cked, my friends.
With the bestestest regards from Bulgaria,
Psihara

amazing patch to be honest,
they really touched everything that I found annoying/broken.
only thing I dislike is :
"..in return they’ll receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-59)".
but cannot complain really.
It does say "as well as" after that so it's a bit ambiguous. Not providing any exp incentive for Monster Power after having just added the Paragon incentive would be extremely short sighted.
Not really. Better loot is more than enough incentive (especially since loot is quickly irrelevant as you level in this game but means everything at 60). With the XP shrines, possible gear bonuses to XP, and the NV buff, I think Blizzard wants to cap how fast people can make it to 100. They really want it to take a while. Besides, better loot = improved combat efficiency which means killing faster thus faster XP anyway. Just not as dramatic as the sub-60 improvements.
Higher monster power presumably means dramatically more HP which would mean slower exp. It would be silly not to at least increase the exp rate enough to compensate for that.

Wow PvP was playable in 2010 at expo's and was scheduled for "shortly after release"
Now their lieing and saying they originally said the end of the year???
And to add insult to injury are saying it wont be here till 2013?
Horrible public relations....I wonder why when it was playable in 2010 with full arenas with the schedule of launch(later being pushed back to "just after launch", they have failed this badly???
Hope lots were fired over the failure to meet deadlines.

I see that concern, but let me put it into my viewpoint (Also, it may be worth noting I only play hardcore).
On my monk I have SSS (Only for the short invul), Serenity, Mantra of healing + time of need rune, Breath of Heaven and Mystic Ally runed earth ally. The last spell is FoT with Thunderclap because you can gain 225% LoH per hit, making it a really great ability to keep yourself alive.
Like you see, 5 defensive spells and 1 semi-defensive spells, that shows a bit HOW important they are. If I take less damage and can therefore drop atleast one defensive spell for something more offensive, Id be happy.

100k aint that much, even if its limited to demons.
Just kill down in that fiery place in act III and it should be quick.

To do this, I am going to assume there is no decimals at all. (No spell will give 49.5% or 58.3%).
I will buy 2 really cheap and bad 1h's with socket in them, and place LoH gem with +35 and +65 in them, giving a total of 100 LoH. Then Im simply going to be testing it by having no health regen at all, and unequip an item giving vit and reequip it in order to see how much I get healed.
However! Effects that don't deal their damage instantly (Exploding Palm, Sweeping wind, way of the hundred fists and even tempest rush) Im not going to test.
Why? Because I play hardcore. If I one shot a mob on normal, Ill still get the full LoH back. However, theese would require me to go up on higher difficults to find opponents that have enough HP for me to do some actual testing. Since Im unequiping all my gear with HP/s and using crap weapons, Im simply not going to take the risk of testing those skills. I dont use them myself either, so it's no real benefit for me to test them out.
That's why I ask you guys to go out and test theese effects if possible, and bring me back the results.
What I expect if you decide to help me:
1) Accurate data. Use a value on LoH that is easily checked. 100, 200, 400 etc. It is better with no data than inaccurate / wrong data.
2) Check for AoE effects. Does 1 sweeping wind target provide 10% LoH and 2 20%? or would they maybe give 15% with 2 targets? All that kind of information is useful.
3) Runes. The return may change depending on if it starts covering more area / less area, I also belive LL and LoH share the exact same return, so please keep in mind even damage changes when it comes to runes.
4) Do not have any LL/Life Regen. It will cause inaccurate data.
Im going to post my values at a later point, expect them tonight sometime (maybe in 12 hours from the making of this post).

I think its because people expect that, but you dont expect thosse walking corpses to be any threat - at all.

Are there certain achis you wont ever get (lvl 60 *insert hated class here*?) or will you go for every class?

Your gear is really good, but as I see it you have no LoH or LL, which will affect your sustainability. I think atleast getting LL (you seem to be past the break point for LL vs LoH) would be a good idea, though you prolly know better than me

1) Hardcore chars, should we either be excluded from this system or risk randomly getting killed by another player?
2) One thing I enjoy about playing single player is the ability to pause the game and go AFK, without feeling the risk of being dead when Im back, its rude to make others at the dinner table wait for you. If any1 can randomly join my game, then ofc pause wouldn't work.
3) The fear of asking noob questions in general chat would arise, because some1 could find "oh, he is a noob, free kill" and this would kill the community, the Diablo community is currently really helpfull and nice ATM, lets make it stay that way.
Honestly, there could be a lose penalty in the Arena, but besides that, no risk thanks.

Here are top 10 reasons for deaths (and als how many of each)
- 1) Arcane Sentry (Monster Affix) - 969 deaths
- 2) Scavenger - 311 deaths
- 3) Belial, Lord of Lies - 308 deaths
- 4) Walking Corpse - 305 deaths
- 5) Skeleton - 190 deaths
- 6) Dark Cultist - 174 deaths
- 7) Risen - 146 deaths
- 8) Azmodan, Lord of Sin - 144 deaths
- 9) Dark Berserker - 130 deaths
- 10) Carrion Bat - 113 deaths
Link to the original post: http://d3db.com/news/id/314-10-deadliest-hardcore-monsters/I find it quite funny how its stuff like Walking Corpses, Skeletons and Risen that are the top killers. Theese are probably some of the weakest mobs, making me think that people often underestimate them.
Your thoughts?

So I figured I should restart Diablo etc, when I was back in my MS was at 61 which was fair, but to be sure I ran around for aproximately 2 minutes, used a few spells and stuff to make sure everything was fine, after the running around I checked my MS and it was down to 53 so I thought everything was fine.
I went out, the first mobs I saw was a Champion pack, so I was using Dissintegrate against them to engage, and nothing happend, I thought "whew, lucky I could have engaged the mobs" after aprox 1 min of nothing happending (I paused right after I realized my spells didnt work just in case) it told me "You have been disconnected (error 3007)" so I tried to log in and boom, dead wizard.
I feel tricked! D: Especially considering everything worked fine until I engaged combat....
I don't mind dieing on hardcore, cuz I wouldn't went hardcore if that had been a problem for me, but I absolutely hate dieing to lagg.
But there aint a lot to do about it, just suck it up and make a new char, but I don't know which class to make. I already have a 36 something monk I dont wanna play, and I don't want a witch doctor. What do you guys think I should go for? DH, Wiz or barb?
