I think a good idea for Crusaders is to let Shield Block Value scale with Strength or maybe Stamina, when using a 1h. Either with the Heavenily Strength passive, or a seperate one *looks pointedly at Hold Your Ground*



This would work well for crusaders as it would give ALL crusaders a toughness boost (even the damage based crusaders, as they'd have lots of Str>lots of block), and would even give the more shield based Crusaders a small damage boost as alot of the more tanky shield based abilities scale from Shield Block Value as well as Weapon Damage.

Thank you for taking the time to post this for those of us who aren't fortunate enough to get into the beta.

If someone is using an add-on that puts numbers over the cooldown animation on the bar, then they are violating the ToS and risk being banned. I wouldn't do it if I were you. However, I would love to see Blizzard add that option in the UI settings for those that want to enable it.

I understand that there are a lot of people who think that RoS doesn't have an end game. As someone who doesn't have beta access, I can't confirm nor deny I feel that way about the expac, for the love of all that is holy, can we just create a sub-section in the forum for these threads and hide them from the "top feeds" section. I'm getting sick of people posting threads with no rational reason for the titles. I see some of these "RoS sucks" or "RoS has no end game threads" that make valid points, but a lot of them are just people whining that their most wanted idea wasn't implemented exactly like they wanted it to be.

We all have the right to criticize, but at least give a rational argument to your viewpoint and provide reasonable suggestions for improvement. Now, I'll stop my own whining and get back to work.

These are great ideas and exactly the kind of things that the community should be giving to the devs. Here are my suggestions (all Whimseyshire themed):

1. Infernal Herding Daibo: Tempest Rush leaves a trail of rainbows that do XX% as holy damage over XX seconds.

2. Waffle of Torment (Shield): When an attack is blocked, enemies get covered in syrup causing their movement speed and attack speed to be reduced by xx% for XX seconds.

3. Horn of the Cursed Unicorn (Mojo): Zombie Dogs get transformed into unicorns. The unicorns release a sparkling cloud aura that reduces damage done by monsters by XX%.

4. Astronomical Candy Box (Source): Your meteors cover monsters in fudge, which increases the damage from your next school of magic used by XX%.

5. Lollipop of Fury (2H mighty weapon): Turns your HOTA into a brittle lollipop which shatters on impact. The shattered pieces cause all enemies within XX yards of the impact to bleed for XXXX-XXXX over XX seconds.

6. Boots of the Ferocious Teddy Bear: Removes the discipline cost of vault and makes a funny squeaking sound when you land. (If you're going to make vault OP, then you have to make it reasonably annoying to hear...)

7. Leggings of the Loot Pinata: You can no longer take physical (or arcane, or fire, or cold, or lightning, etc.) damage; however, the damage from all other sources is increased by 50%.

But then that further gimps Crusaders that choose not to used 2H+Shield..... The only real options seem to be that HS gives a bonus to 1H or the negative aspect of HS is made greater.

Imho, comparing current difficulties to RoS difficulties is like comparing apples to oranges. There's a reason why Blizzard completely renamed all difficulties (see Lylirra's post). I'm really puzzled as to why PTR doesn't get at least Torment 1-3 or so. I can see that people with their absolutely OP gear and 3-6% LS are just rushing through all content like crazy. But don't just look at that and make any judgement about how difficulties in RoS will turn out. It's kinda like judging D3V based on playing Nightmare act 3 with a level 55 character. Also, they're looking into mob density, see the Blue post tracker. It's a test realm, not a "this is the final game which we present to you three months in advance" - realm. Edit: Just to add on the "Crusader is OP" discussion - there was a highly rated thread on the RoS forums the other day about the Crusader actually being too weak. I was quite surprised because I also had the feeling that the Crusader was somewhat OP, but maybe it's just subjective because I'm mainly interested in a more "tanky" wizard and that playstyle is simply not possible right now because of balancing and bugs (most shield generators don't work the way they're supposed to work, which is why we're doomed to kite, which is why getting to T2+ requires to use "broken" mechanics like freezelock or OP legendaries).

So the conclusion of this thread is: DH sucks.

Quote from CardinalMDM

Someone commented on Facebook that it's a Cataclysm set in Warcraft. Don't know how true that is, but...

I'm sure if it's even close, we'll get tons of people complaining they don't want Warcraft in Diablo.

Truthfully, I don't mind it. Warcraft made Blizzard a household name, and without a million bazillion different flagship series', I don't blame them for having crossovers and nods.
