[PC] NOBDYH GVIE S A SHIT ABOUT DIABLO IIII

Man, I hadn't realized that blizzard bucks couldn't be converted into USD. Oh well, I guess that meager $8 I have there will be used for attempting to play the market. Or it'll go into a fund for the next D3 expansion or something. Meh.

Zip: Generally speaking, a solid 2H + Quiver will beat 2 1H crossbows unless your 1Handers are amazing. The slight attack speed boost you get while dual wielding generally won't beat the higher weapon damage from a 1Hand.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Here's an addendum to that Act 1 farming guide SD posted:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm thinking I gotta invest in some MF gear that doesn't kill my DPS. I've been farming Act 1 a bit these last couple days and I haven't gotten anything worthwhile. A good number of the rares I get aren't even above ilvl 60, and I don't think I've even gotten an ilvl 63 item.

Dang, I don't have the gold for all of this.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The only reason to make a second of one class is to play as another gender or to do it in Hardcore, I guess. I'd consider that as perfectly fine, except leveling is terrible.

I can understand why they want to limit fast character progression in Hardcore, but there's no sense in killing off all the leveling methods in softcore. Honestly, the game is Inferno, and you can't access that until 60. It's so boring going through normal then nightmare then hell.

Interesting hotfix news. I suppose I'll give farming some more another try.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I suspect I'm doing it wrong.

What's your regular DPS at?

My regular gear puts me around 33k or so DPS with Magic Weapon/Force Weapon on. I get around 30k with some MF gear on (~150MF), but my survivability takes a huge hit. I lose something like 10k or 14k hp and my resists/armor take a dump. Finding gear with upgrades across the board can be expensive, yeah, but there's also been some inflation going on. 2M gold just doesn't go as far as it used to.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't think Prismatic is worth it over Force unless you already have a substantial amount of resists already. Force Armor will at least keep you from being one-shot by most attacks and give you time to teleport/diamond skin yourself out. Of course, if you're trying to crit a lot to keep diamond skin off cooldown (a legit build) then that might be different...

Crit is definitely the popular way to go for now. I think I've got around 33% crit change with ~200% damage, myself. If I had higher crit chance and some AP on Crit gear, I'd probably switch to an arcane orb build.

One of my friends who plays wizard has a funky build which uses Energy Twister/Wicked Wind to crit a lot, with the crits reducing cooldown on Diamond Skin/Mirror Image/Frost Nova. It works quite well as a tank/disruption build, but he couldn't kill anything to save his life. So, there is a danger on having all your gear focused on survivability instead of DPS as well...

FELIPE NO

Here's the Wizard build I use:

Wizard - Game Guide - Diablo III

It's pretty generic, but it works out allright as a kite-y kind of build. Spam blizzard everywhere, drop hydras everywhere, backtrack and shoot things with your signature spell. If you ever get caught, you can just teleport yourself to safety. Depending on your needs you could swap one of those skills for diamond skin.

If I had higher crit and an AP on Crit weapon/source, I'd swap out Blizzard for Arcane Orb.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You guys hear about the glitch that made wizards invulnerable? I suppose it's patched out by now, but I logged on yesterday for the first time in weeks to mess around with it. Pretty fun! Unfortunately I managed to un-glitch myself fairly quickly and that was that.

I wish I had sold my gear when I stopped playing. It probably wouldn't have gained me much at all, but it would've been better than nothing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But WAIT! They've added profiles! Now everyone can see how much time you've wasted on the game.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm glad they adopted the philosophy of buffing weak skills to be stronger rather than nerfing strong skills.

I might actually play again for a bit when 1.0.4 hits.
