miles_dryden posted a message on Datamining: Stat Caps Removed, and More; BlizzCon Store Online Sale Now Open, Blue Posts, Remember When...?I'm kind of split on the whole "Torment" thing. There really isn't enough information right now to make any conclusions, but working on the assumption that it is in fact a new format for difficulty modes and not just a new name related to MP, my gut reaction is "ugh". Normal > Nightmare > Hell is a Diablo tradition and I'd hate to see that go away. Still, if it improves the game flow or whatever, then I guess I can't complain.Posted in: News

As expected ... no trading replacement.
Everything will succeed or fail with this.
increased drop rates, problem solved.
This guy gets it.
On the contrary. No structured in game trading = dead in 2 weeks like console play.
This is soon 2014, not 1997 ...
You assume that itemization in PC loot 2.0 will be the same as itemization in console. We pretty much already know this isn't the case. Console is designed around short term play and more immediate satisfaction, where the PC game is intended to be a more long-term loot hunt and paragon grind. -

miles_dryden posted a message on Datamining: Stat Caps Removed, and More; BlizzCon Store Online Sale Now Open, Blue Posts, Remember When...?Posted in: NewsThe stat caps for Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit Damage and Attack Speed have been removed from the datamined files. The Lifesteal change is new though, so it remains. The other stats like Magic Find have not been touched.
Can't say I'm too mad (or surprised) about this. Diminishing returns is a much better approach than hard caps. With hard caps, everything becomes about 'hitting the cap' and we are back to where we started. -

"This polearm was crafted by the finest ungulate smiths — its blade fired in the Hellforge, quenched in the rancid milk of the Cow King, and enchanted by that selfsame monarch. In addition to its significant martial benefits, the Bovine Bardiche may also summon forth a veritable army of cows to fight on its wielder’s behalf."
The Cow King has milk? From where??
It's not really milk. -

But yeah, allowing Life Steal% to be more of a low level thing, and Life on Hit to be a high level thing, dare I say, actually is pretty genius. For one thing, it means an affix doesn't have to be removed entirely from the game. But with level 60 items already being potent, and level 70 items projected to be even more potent, leaving Life Steal% as it is will mean it will be an even more OP and game-breaking mechanic. Granted, Life on Hit may not be too effective for characters with 70k+ Life (my Monk has 62k), if you want a lot of it, it's not impossible to get...but you have to work at getting a lot of it, and even when you have a lot of it, it still won't guarantee you invincibility...and since Life on Hit doesn't scale with damage, it won't be easy to abuse, and have to be tag-teamed with Life Regen, health globes, and other forms of restoration.
As a side note...I remember friends giving me tips on end-game in D2, and the first thing they always said, was Life Leech and Mana Leech. Sucks that it repeated in D3, but really happy the devs are taking that on directly and changing and evolving it going forward.
It seems to me that LoH is much more useful than LS at low levels simply because of the way those 2 affixes scale. My suspicion is that after 2.0, LS simply will not roll on items at all anymore, nor be available for enchanting. This new mechanic is simply to make current items with LS fade out, without being completely useless on patch-day. -

Lastly, i don't think the current MP curve difficulty will stay in RoS after gameplay changes, i suspect some tweaks for it.
Absolutely. Vanilla Inferno was bad enough, can you imagine trying MP10 without the AH? I mean, I'm all for having longterm goals, but that would be insane. -

miles_dryden posted a message on New Datamined Patch - Class Changes, Passive Effects, Item Graphics and MUCH moreI don't like to plan ahead too much as far as builds and stuff go until patch notes are final, but the new passive for WD pets got me agonizing over how to work that into my current build. 4 slots makes me very happy!Posted in: News

- *Life Steal is less effective when you are higher level.
- *At level 60, Life Steal gains a 0.10x multiplier.
- *At level 70, Life Steal no longer functions.

Getting 5 (or even 10) characters to 60 is pretty easy. Especially if you use a hellfire ring. Getting them all to p100 is the hard part.
The way I understand it now is that when 2.0 hits, all paragon xp earned will be converted to the account-wide system, giving you a new paragon level based on how much xp you earned across all your characters. Any level 60s that you play on will continue earning paragon xp. When you install the xpack, your max level changes to 70, and you will not earn paragon xp while leveling from 60 to 70. Once a character hits 70, they will once again start earning paragon xp.
My point is that it will be more efficient getting paragon levels at 70 rather than at 60. So while you will get a headstart by grinding out the paragon xp now, whether or not that's worth it is up to you.
As I said above, if you're still having fun, keep playing. If not, don't worry about it.

Assuming they don't change it. Assuming they even put ladders in the final version.
Bottom line: we don't know yet how much you're really going to get out of anything you do between now and RoS. So any "preparation" you make now could potentially be wasted, or just not worth your time.
If you're still having fun, keep playing. If not, you aren't going to miss out on anything important if you just wait.

The only reason to grind p100 now is to get a headstart. Since you'll only get to 375 if you get 10x100, you're probably better off waiting.

Yes, that is pretty ignorant. Good thing that's not what I said.

It may be possible, depending on the item, but a lot less likely.

Unless you were going for a tank build. Then you prefer as much defensive bonuses as you can get over whatever extra offense cru-shields offer.
Regardless, we really don't know yet how crusader damage will compare to the other classes, with or without the 2h passive.
There is plenty of distinctions between the classes, and even if crusaders were given the option to dual wield, it doesn't mean that many people will do it, or that it will be efficient. They are absolutely a shield class, and the fact they have several skills that focus on shields already makes them plenty unique.
My point is that saying they aren't intended to dual-wield isn't a good argument that they shouldn't have the option to do so. Demon hunters shouldn't use melee weapons, wizards shouldn't use bows, witch doctors shouldn't use 2h axes. But they can.

Depends on how much of a decrease it is, but if your only goal is paragon farming, then yes it's probably worth it.
It's certainly possible, but you've got your work cut out for you. Remember that 10x100 will not give you paragon 1000 instantly once the xpack hits. I think someone said it's like 375. Also, since you will likely be getting much more xp at level 70 than currently, getting that far will probably take less time overall after hitting 70, rather than doing it all now.
Bottom line, as long as you still playing a character less than p100 you are still getting xp that will carry over to your account-wide paragon level in RoS. So feel free to keep chugging until you get bored.

The idea is that each item can only have so many primary stats and secondary stats. This way, items are less likely to roll nothing but utility bonuses without any core offensive or defensive bonuses.
0
The theory is that items will get a portion of each, so strength won't be competing with move speed, for example.

Everyone knows what dual wield means. Crusaders can dual wield, but they're obviously a shield class.
C wut i did thar?

Your gear won't matter when the xpack hits. Paragon experience will carry over, though, so feel free to level up as many characters to p100 as you like.
As for gold, mats, and gems, nobody really knows how valuable they will be. You may have a nice stash to work with or it may end up being a waste of your time.
Other than that, just do what you enjoy. Go for achievements, get all classes to 60, get some hellfire rings, whatever.

The demon hunter is explicitly designed as a ranged character. But they still have the option to equip certain melee weapons.
Just saying.

Crusader shields can't have damage bonuses?
