Yes there are?

A non-ancient SMK *is* the "mini" SMK that you're referring to. An ancient weapon enables nothing unique except more gooder. Especially since it only boosts non-percent stats, there's no CC% or IAS or CDR thresholds that ancient gear would allow you to reach. I wouldn't worry about...

Yes. Why?

Is PoE still a grindfest for high end items?

zdps, shield bash, condemn, ponies. Shield bash is the only new thing this patch. Don't bother with sweep attack, still sucks.

What are you going to do for 5 hours?

My Nexus 5 got the 5.1 update a few days ago. I didn't even know it was coming and after I looked up the new features, I didn't feel it was worth 0.1 increment. Part of me wanted to not upgrade in fear of some app incompatibility causing battery drain.

Top two groups are DH Wiz WD Cru, so maybe there's hope for a bit of change.

I don't think anyone will disagree that it was imbalanced, partly due to the IK4 bonus. That they left it the whole PTR and removed as the patch went live is what irked most people. I do think something needs to be done eventually. Either reintroduce it with a random rune or buff the IK...

Arena would be much more fun if you didn't have to play constructed to get into arena. The two modes are very distinct and I don't know many people that enjoy both. Puzzling out the next few turns is honestly fun enough, I'm not sure I really need a pack or gold(except to get back in arena) or...

Do you use magnets or cosmic rays?

You guys don't program in machine code?

Essentially, instead of 50% more damage, slaughter, and 50% less damage taken, everyone will just have slaughter. Nuke on activation was useless outside of cheesing slaughter's proc coefficient(or going fire if you really wanted to) and the healing from the LpFS rune was nice, but LoH +...

I'm guessing that this is how they 'solve' the arreat's wail->slaughter proc coefficient problem? Clunky doesn't even begin to describe that change. WTF?

Depends what you're looking to play. Solo: dh, barb, and monk are all close. Wizard is hard to gauge, I don't know how much testing was done on the PTR after the hydra hotfix/nerf. WD and crusader are a bit behind the first three. Group: likely still 2xdh, cru, wd. Slowball and UE is by...

Waste management engineer. Khane, you've got an awfully lot of "but..." responses. My impression is that this conundrum is partially of your own creation. What you want is out there, just gotta drop some of your needs. That might mean dating a daycare teacher. Which, I don't think is...

Want some D3? Course ya do! Patch 2.2 is live: Patch 2.2.0 Now Live - Diablo III Season 3 starting this Friday.

You're in Florida, how much of a concern is that really?

That study needs to be more localized to be of any use. I'm pretty sure "upper class" where I live(Ithaca) is vastly different than most of the area surrounding NYC, yet still the same state. Maybe if they normalized it by COLA and city size and then subdivided each state by local population...

If the market is forcing you to rent out at a price below your total average costs, it's due for a correction. That type of situation just isn't sustainable in the long run. And of course, someone looking to rent vs buy should consider broad and local market forces. If rent prices are...

You're paying those costs when you rent unless your landlord is an idiot.

I swear there have been multiple posts about your wife getting on your case about raiding.

I'm really bad with time management on the computer and raiding in WoW made it 10x worse. It's still a minor problem where if I have a soft commitment like coming to bed, any time number I give her is wrong. I'll putz around on the computer for a half hour longer, easily. But with raiding...

Quit raiding altogether. For me, it wasn't the raiding itself that was the problem, but the inconvenience of the raid schedule. I still play lots of video games, but most of them are pausable or easily saved and quit if needed. Relationship is much better now and I haven't gotten shit for my...

The Zakarum set might actually be fun, if a bit simplistic. And obviously remove the continuous cast from 6pc.

Not sure if you're responding to me. I didn't say it was complex. Step 2 can be arduous, especially if it confirms you're making what you should be making. And, as Palum specifies, step 3 can be a mistake. But, somewhat impossible to know that beforehand.

What kills the scaling for Ruby and other similar languages? Dynamic typing and run-time interpretation?

Sure, you may pick up and put down D3 every few months, but I want last progress, even if it is marginal.

Can't get millions in payout if you don't exist.

I think grifts would be a much better endgame if trails weren't such ass. Also, grift variance depending on mob/map/rg type. Which, I know is like most of the grift system. But they have a good idea to getting marginal upgrades and seeing them reflected in an increase in grift level or time...

I play seasons if the items look enticing enough to try out immediately. Condemn build for crusaders was one of them. Gungdo gear for monks, not so much. Powerful item, but didn't really change the gameplay. Which is why I'm kinda down about this season's items. Other reason is that I...

Anyone going to play S3 for the items? First Look: Season 3 - Diablo III I don't play WD or Wiz heavily, so I can't speak to their items, but the DH, monk, barb, and crusader items look lackluster. The DH and monk look good from a statistics standpoint, but they don't look like they...

Johnny, please contribute to the 'girls with huge buttholes' thread in bisi's absence.

I wouldn't trust those either. It's especially bad for my area(Ithaca NY) because it's really small. So I'm ending up having to compare salaries to areas with vastly different levels of costs of living and competition. And, of course, people willing to report their salaries in an anonymous...

Yeah, I understand that, just wondering if there's a way to come somewhat close to an accurate number without going to through all the recruiting, interviewing, and negotiating bullshit.

This thread had me thinking last night. How does one accurately self assess what you should be paid? I mean that in the strictest sense, self assess. I know I could go out, do interviews, get offers, and make a judgment from those results. And while that whole process is largely innocuous...

I haven't laughed much at Trevor Noah's bits on TDS. They weren't bad, they just seemed too...transparent. I know the writers are behind what gets said for any skit, but his bits feel like someone else's jokes coming out of the wrong mouth. Maybe it's the cultural difference, maybe it's the...

One self cleaning cycle will fix that.

WW works with both combinations of IK6/WW4 or WW6/IK4.

Looks like the PTR will soon reflect what is likely going live in 2.2: Patch 2.2.0 PTR Hotfixes - Updated 3/27 - PTR Feedback - Blizz Tracker - Diablo Fans Bug hotfixes after a week instead of a new patch means no more patches to me. Kinda sad the state barbs are/will be in. Great at...
