You can't really do that very effectively in most of the groups one ends up in. For large portions of the game's content, it simply isn't possible to quickly and easily nuke a mob dead faster than it can do harm. Once you get beyond level 45 or so, most mobs have too much HP for this, not to...

Are you serious? There'scountlessexamples. Shit like the little fuckers in Blighttown that will one-shot toxin you from so far away that their models don't load; the floor that breaks and plunges you directly into the Stray Demon boss fight (and knocks off half your health from the fall) without...

I didn't like DS1 enough to get to that point, but I did with DS2. DS1 might actually be the better game in many ways, but while it seems like it could be more enjoyable than DS2 once you've learned it, I just couldn't stand the things it took to learn the game. It's not that it was hard, it was...

Even without the bug, DS2's durability system is extremely flawed. Pretty much all light weapons have like 40 durability which means they'll break long before the next bonfire in most areas. A rapier will barely last through certain boss fights like the gargoyles or sentinels. Coupled with the...

Heide sword is just good for making FoFG easymode. It does way more damage than anything you've got when you find it and you'll two-shot nearly everything in that area. As soon as you have the titanite to upgrade another weapon a bit, there are much better options.

Yeah, the only reason I even stuck with D3 for more than a week was the total absence of anything else worth playing.

Seems pretty obvious that they've known for a couple of years that this wouldn't be any kind of success, so they finished development with minimized costs and launched it to recuperate losses without any expectations for it to do well as a game. Under those circumstances, shelling out the...

Well, the campaign is easy enough that you can complete it with basically any weapon, but the selection of top weapons is very small. There's like ten weapons that are head and shoulders above the rest, and entire classifications of weapons that aren't worth using at all unless you just really...

I wish more weapons were viable. There's a severe lack of balance in the game's itemization.

Well, I had a couple of days off so I just played a lot. Took me something like 12 hours to get to Blighttown. I then promptly quit the game. Between the awful optimization and the staggering amount of time you have to spend just running around due to the absence of a travel system and extreme...

I bought this yesterday, got to Blighttown, and what the flying fuck? Is my PS3 broken or is this area just utterly fucked? I have something like 5 FPS, in a place where you have to do a ton of platforming and precision jumping, which is basically unplayable.

The game is really broken in a lot of ways. The way mobs react to being attacked from range is frankly an affront to game design, for instance. You can cheese 75% of the content by just abusing spells or bows to kill things without them reacting or doing anything more than wander retardedly...

Ah, so like Everquest? I.e. the way to win in PvP is to grind PvE until your character is more powerful than everyone else's. It's not as if the system guarantees that you fight people around your level.

It actually seems like a really dumb system for PvE. Poison and bleed are extremely situational, things don't survive a bunch of hits and the gameplay doesn't suit it. Poison is completely pointless on 95% of the mobs in the game, and bleed is capped at like 200 damage or something. Outside of...

Seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yeah, it takes like two weeks to get to the point where you can play several days straight without finding an upgrade. It's pretty stupid.

I find that lightning WW is still king for speed-farming T1. It also frees up your bracer slot for Warzechian Armguards which, together with Fire Walkers, make you hilariously fast in any zone with breakables. Even without Fire Walkers you can just break shit with WW, but it's just easier with...

Which is probably not worth doing, considering the likelihood of running dozens of rifts without finding the item in question even if it can drop. It's not as though you can just "do rifts until it drops" as if it were a certainty. It seems more sensible to just slightly improve your odds of...

The First/Second/Third Dragon Ring do it as well, in addition to giving a bonus to HP and stamina. They're some of the best rings in the game. I'm not actually sure where the first one comes from now that I think of it, but the second one can be obtained less than halfway through the game. The...

It would be extremely easy to debunk the RNG bloke's theory: join a low-level game and gamble something that, according to him, shouldn't be possible. His theories sound ridiculous and aren't backed by any kind of proof, but despite how simple it should be to disprove it, nobody seems to have tried.

Kinda had my fill of this game by now, without ever really feeling like I got anything done. My gear plateaued after less than two weeks and then it was a tiny upgrade every three days, otherwise pointless grinding with no real sense of purpose. They didn't manage to make leveling feel...

I've been wondering, since DHs don't really find melee weapons and there are far fewer ranged weapons, isn't it a lot easier to gear up than other classes? On my barb, probably half of my legendary drops are garbage weapons while my DH finds mostly armor and then the occasional ranged weapon...

I'm doing a spear playthrough and spears are just so shit. Most of them have 50 durability, which isn't quite enough (especially on a weapon that's prone to striking walls), and their damage is really low. They're miserable against armor, they're awful for AoE, and most of them don't even really...

Claymore is one of the best weapons in the game. Its R2 attack is so good.

For one thing, those are 4-piece sets instead of the 6-piece crusader one. Barb has a 5-piece set as well, but it's a bit wank. I suspect that crusaders, despite having only one set instead of the three that the other classes have, don't actually find their set pieces any more often than other...

Had a rapier go from full to warning in one boss fight. That's when I realized that the durability system was fundamentally flawed, and dex weapons were not worth my time.

I'd been a bit fed up because I found fuckall on Friday and Saturday. Then today I find a Cindercoat, Andariel's, Danetta's Revenge, two SoJs, and gamble two Magefists. Just when I thought I was out...

If I take care not to lose any large chunks of souls to deaths, I'll finish a fully explored NG at level 160+, sometimes even the high 170s, without having stopped to deliberately farm souls. There's a few things I clear more than once, like the three dragon acolyes in Aldia's Keep who can drop...

They really need to stop letting people with less than 40 IQ go online.

I'm wearing a level 61 strength Cindercoat on my T3-farming DH and it's still vastly superior to anything else except a level 70 dex Cindercoat. This item is so good that it's bad for the game. They'll never balance builds if they keep it this way.

This game really lacks breadth of viable builds. It was awesome on the first playthrough, but any consecutive runs leave me completely underwhelmed with the stat system and the general variety of builds that are comparable in power to the generic warrior type. I'm missing what games like the...

Just sucks that the Ancients are too squishy to use the lightning rune on T4+, they simply die. Once again, fire dominates wherever the option to go fire exists. Fucking doubles their damage, which is just stupid and unbalanced relative to the other runes. Same with Earthquake, Avalanche, HotA...

I don't know a single person, out of a social circle of mostly gamers, who was willing to touch this with a ten foot pole. This is people who normally buy every major MMORPG that comes out.

That's obviously not what I meant, but I edited the post for the sake of disadvantaged readers.

I fucking hate that you basically don't find gear for other mainstat class pairs. This means changing class is a complete reset button. I think they need to add something where an item's main stat, if rolled natively when the item dropped, can be rerolled irrespective of what has been enchanted...

Pretty boring as far as forum drama goes.

Any ideas for gear improvements? It's getting hard to upgrade anything. Larsen - Community - Diablo III A better RoRG is on the list, but it's just patience vs. RNG. Also need Fire Walkers with str/vit/allres natively so I can reforge the fourth stat into Whirlwind damage.

They count as games that are on the PS4.

Mobs have too much fucking health beyond T3. The game slows down so much, and you become capable of surviving content long before you're able to clear it at an acceptable pace. It's not even difficult, it just makes it not worth doing.

The regular '+6 Random Magic Properties' crafted legendaries are just meant for people gearing up right after hitting 70. There's a dozen genuinely great crafted legendaries, and most of the sets are amazing supplements to your class set. I'm more concerned about the dropped legendaries, 80%...
