    No, YOU'RE going to have crafted a better amulet than that. I guarantee you the unwashed masses or whatever you would consider the average D3 player to be are not as l33t as you and there's a fair chance that amulet is worth something to them. My wife just started playing Diablo 3 a couple weeks...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    LTK is much more damage per spirit and faster to spam, but hits a smaller area, so you need to use Cyclone Strike with it as well typically. Almost all the Monk builds use CS right now anyway from what I've seen, even Tempest Rush builds.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I was having problems on Torment 1 after farming on MP5 or so until I toyed with a lot of builds. Now torment 1 may as well be normal for me for how dangerous it is. Just sticking with WW so far though, been playing my monk too much to mess with HotA/Spear/whatever is the new barb hotness.

    The first new Wizard build I tried was fire-based. It was a bit goobery but the coefficient on the fire mage blades felt insane and healed me up pretty fast anytime things didn't melt before getting on me.

    Are white/grey weapons just sought after for salvaging or am I missing something? There's a TON in Gardens of Hope 2nd tier for me, and a bunch in 1st tier as well. Was just running around and noticed how many there were laying around.

    I've had a legendary drop from a barrel since the patch as well, although only one. Far less than the number from other sources.

    15 hours is about the ideal RPG length for me, discounting obscure side quests and grinding for things. Would even be happy with slightly shorter. And this coming from someone who got into gaming with just RPGs for a long time.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I still use run like the wind and rend always did that didn't it? Anyway I like my WW build. I think mine relies on the fury gen from Immortal king though, which I didn't realize. Will have to try other builds when I find gear worth replacing IK for.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    WW is definitely weaker than it was, no argument. But it was really just the best way to go before if you had the gear, bar none, even above other classes. It's fine that it's not the de facto build anymore. I haven't had to chance to play with other builds on my barb yet but I would say DH...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Fury Starved? I made a whirlwind build that still sort of works, with no fury generator, so you maybe want to try some other runes/passives :P Ganthrim - Community - Diablo III Without a mighty weapon, either. I thought I had one but apparently I'm dumb.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There aren't really any solidified top builds yet. Almost every class has a ton more options now than they ever have, so mostly everyone is just trying random buttons and blowing shit up.

    If you mean top lane, no he's not really a champion for top lane. If you mean as a marksman, he's fine, he's just not popular at the moment. He's still plenty strong.

    The WotHF runes have always had dumb wording. Druin, some big monk on the official forums, likes WotHF - FoF as his favorite generator, but I like HoL a lot. Big numbers yo. In my fairly limited time running around, I was trying a bunch of different mantras, and they all feel so different...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I like the Barrage rune because it's badass :P It didn't feel like any of the spirit generators were single target, but maybe that's because of that new area damage proc. I was always a fan of crippling wave but just felt weak using it, so maybe I'll give it another shot. Mostly addicted to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The innate IAS on FoT was decreased by a lot. Crippling Wave and Way of the Hundred Fists remained the same, and Deadly Reach was slightly buffed I believe. The proc coefficients on FoT was also reduced to be more in line with the other generators. The general feeling right now is that all Monk...

    The Kha and Mobo nerfs are pretty harsh. Kha probably still viable but end game that's like half the damage gone from his E. Edit: Doran's Shield still fine for top, for bot lane, Targon's only has 5 less health, Ice pick thingy is way stronger than before, so hopefully this does actually...

    They are literally referenced in the patch notes. They have existed. As far as I'm aware their timers are huge so no one actually even noticed they still existed, but they do:

    They removed them on most bosses from non-torment difficulties. If you're farming you probably want to be on at least Torment I, so enrage is still a thing there.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    While the skills that just have number-tweaks might not look that exciting, it really opens up a ton more skills that have never been used, so in a way it's like adding new skills to the game :P

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yea, the AH is basically dead right now, or should be, it's bugged to crap and back. I would avoid it. I love the Monk changes so far. Was just running around on Torment I with random skills testing things out. They feel a lot less restricted then Monks used to be. Although Torment I feels...

    Yea it's hard to make sense of the PTR changes sadly because those are changes of PREVIOUS changes on the PTR. So you have to read at least 2 huge lists of changes to get what we should have in a few hours, hopefully.

    A blue post said it's like 50+ pages of notes on class changes, so it's slightly delayed behind the regular notes. Didn't explicitly say when they'd be posted.

    The paragon update is with this patch. RoS adds: higher level cap, bounties, Act V, Crusader, Adventure mode/rifts/whatever they're called. Probably a couple more things. But this patch is a lot of the big stuff too.

    UK MSRP != US MSRP. There's no noticeable US pricing discount anywhere online. There's plenty for non-US currencies since as mentioned, non-US pricing is stupid and those countries can just take the US price, which is cheaper FOR THEM.

    Is the Lenovo y510p still the go-to gaming laptop right now? It looks like a great deal for ~$1000, although I'm sad I'll lose the blu-ray of my like 4 year old laptop.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Diablo 3 is as much a game as any game. The gameplay is smooth and fun. The mechanics of elite/named/bosses offer variable choices and reactions you have to perform to succeed unless you're vastly overgeared, and those choices and reactions are further varied by your build. I'm perfectly willing...

    Nobody anywhere thinks "everything" is groovy with Diablo 3. I played an enjoyed Diablo 2 and will never, ever, go back and play it again. I will buy and play the Diablo 3 expansion. Make of that what you will

    Without the MMO part of EQ, no one would have played it, and even with the advantages EQ had it wouldn't really be considered successful by today's standards. That may sound obvious, but there's a HUGE difference between tedium in a social setting and tedium in effectively a single player...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    D3 Classes have a large pool of abilities to specialize in, but they are balanced terribly. I strongly disagree about D2, I rarely replayed it because I did NOT want to start at level 1 again and plow through acts 1-5 over and over again for hours before the build actually reached fruition...

    There's plenty of other ways to read that, you just don't WANT to. For example, he was not obligated to do those things, but they would have been objectively or just humanely better options. The facts we have from Ken's single post make it out to be a fucking dumb way of handling things, but...

    That is some serious Teemo nerf there. I wouldn't mind if they shifted a little bit of something to his E then, like make it actually count as a spell proc instead of the weird pseudo-nothing it is now. And yea love the Ryze buff. Maybe Veigar next? (a man can dream)

    Strider (2014)

    The trailers I've seen look pretty plain to me honestly. If there's a demo I'll give it a shot but otherwise will hold off. Just finished Valdis Story so my controller fingers need a break anyway :l
