Official Diablo III Site Gets Updated
The skill calculator also provides a very convenient way to see the description of each skill and its rune effects, along with the icon for each skill. If you're starting from the home page instead of the link above, select the Game tab, look under Tools, and you'll find the link to the skill calculator there. The Game tab also provides an interesting look at future updates to the official page.
Another update on the official site is a new page on Diablo III's shared stash. Although its not anything new, it does provide a nice overview of the stash's functions in the upcoming game. The article about the shared stash also reveals that Hardcore characters will have access to a different stash and Auction House than Normal characters. The wording of the section on the Hardcore stash also seems to hint that there could be some items available only to Hardcore characters that you can't find on Normal, or possibly the other way around.
Other than that, the site was also updated with a What's New in Diablo III page. It provides short paragraphs on Runestones, Followers, Crafting & Artisans, the Auction House, and other major parts of Diablo III that were previously unseen in the series or have been improved upon for the third installment. For the sections that have pages on the site, there are links to click through to. However, for features such as Artisans and Followers, there are no official pages yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when those pages get updated.
Stark also just means "sheer, utter, downright or complete" along with "harsh, grim, or desolate." Although I did actually have that same thought. And its A Song of Ice and Fire. Corrections aside, I would love it if it was actually an intentional easter egg, seeing as I love that show.
Ahem, those books B);)
Anyway, about the 'guns' I don't think I have a problem with it but some one will. As to where it is mentions, its under the key features heading on the right quick aside that sums up the class.
Also, I feel like, if they are in the game, they would be DH specific, and would therefore be mentioned in the DH's Unique Equipment section.
Is this an earlier graphic, a replacement to avoid confusion, or a mistake?
I guess you're right.
also in the past we can practically select(make the hero know) all skills does this apply to d3???i mean can we have all 4 sigg skill for a class??all the offensive/defensive ones??
Active Combo * # of Runes * Passive Combo = number of potential builds
Barbarian (22c6)*5 * (15c3) = (74,913)*5 * 455 = 170,427,075
Demon Hunter (23c6)*5 * (13c3) = (100,947)*5 * 286 = 144,354,210
Monk (21c6)*5 * (13c3) = (54,264)*5 * 286 = 77,597,520
Witch Doctor (22c6)*5 * (12c3) = (74,613)*5 * 220 = 82,074,300
Wizard (25c6)*5 * (12c3) = (177,100)*5 * 220 = 194,810,000
Total = 669,263,105 different possible builds
(803,115,726 if including un-runed skills)
Happy for my maths to be ripped apart
The Monk and WD need some love then. How can it be so that other classes have DOUBLE their potential builds. Even if the number is really high, it should be about even.
Oh and, screw everyone that said there was little customization! I took a quick tour on the barbarian skills and I'm overwhelmed by the amount of possible combo's im going to try on him!!! PLUS you can optimize your gear per build..
Oh wawu, they made me even more anxious for the release :<
Although I do see reason to believe that the last sentence alludes to hardcore-only items, I think that the intended message is what I stated in the previous paragraph. I don't see the need for anything like vanity items for hardcore accomplishments because we have an achievement system for that.
But I'm often wrong, so. . .
2. Yes. Magic Missile at level 1 does NOT do 40-61 dmg like it does at level 60. And yes, you get tired of using Magic Missile and just found an awesome weapon that does crazy dmg, switch out your skills to Spectral Blade and now you're a melee wizard.
3. I've heard many different versions on this, but there is no Official word on this. Runes are swappable but not sure if once socketed, are they only for that specific skill. Meaning you can swap runes, but what happens to the rune that just got taken out is unclear.
That is the greatest name for a skill ever. I saw it and could not stop laughing.
If they change it, I will be extremely upset.
I agree I love that name! I reckon it's something a witch doctor might say.
i'm new here..].
