    Dark Souls 2

    Wow the last boss was anticlimatic as fuck, had to be one of the weakest I fought. In general I'll echo what Derkon said a few posts up, bosses are quite easy compared to trash. Probably a large part due to having played DS1 and such so used to basic mechanics but other than Mytha and the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Not sure what you mean but every legendary and set items scale up to 70, just like they scale up to 60 atm. They drop at the same level as you are. So they don't need a set, you'll just need to find the same items again once you're 70.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    No. There's 3 portals, you NEED at least 3 machines. Each uber can drop one different organ, you need the 3 organs to craft the ring, recipe is on act2 vendor or maybe it's act3, one of the vendors anyway. Since the droprate of organs is random, and which portal you open is random, you need...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It's not just about putting the screen 2inches from your eyes, you can do that yourself, it's the motion detectors in the headset that transcribe your head movements into movements in the game, creating a better immersion. I don't think it's the next big thing but it's definitely something...

    I saw people doing that on streams too, I thought it worked better when they dropped set items, cause you see OMG GREEN STUFF OMG OMG and then nope, it's a cain's headpiece or whatever.

    The +1/+2 stuff is just different drops, you don't upgrade them. Not sure where they drop you can probably find on the wiki. I only had the first one too but didn't use it, I only used it to walk in lava for the chests.

    Yeah I don't know noticed I had one but couldn't be bothered finding why or how to remove it. I had another before too that I also didn't ask for, something maniac or whatever.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I doubt speedrunning normal is better than farming a place, even including the guaranteed legendary, there's way too much "downtime" with moving from point to point in desolate areas and shitty quest stuff. It's more varied though but like if you don't mind farming specific areas you're probably...

    Dark Souls 2

    I did it fairly slow too, but a couple of deaths were due to getting boxed by the skeletons and stunlocking me in a corner. Best way I found to prevent that was to stay in the main area until the chariot was just about to arrive then run to the little alcoves so the skeletons get raped without...

    Dark Souls 2

    Can add poison or bleed to your elemental weapon, those don't suffer as much but since they reduce both the phys and elemental dmg of the weapon you'll hit for noticeably less on highly armored targets. My bandit knives generally hit for 2-4 on bosses. As a side note I've been using pyromancy...

    Are they lifesteal builds? Currently don't need to use defensive if you still have a good lifesteal weapon and high damage, but come RoS you'll have to do something.

    It's using the SC2 engine supposedly, so while it looks better than zoomed SC2, probably not much better. And yeah it looks fairly crappy. I mean it's ok and stuff and not a big deal for this type of game, hell LoL nowadays look even more dated, but definitely doesn't look top notch.

    Dark Souls 2

    I hate that this game has the same issue as DS1 in terms of weapon choice, half of the boss souls weapons are swords and a lot of item types are underrepresented. I wanted to make a DW dagger and on top of having shit choice for normal weapons, there's also only one soul dagger, which is kinda...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    On the twinking weapon stuff, while AH is gone you can still craft 20-30weapons and generally roll one with socket+reduced level req(might be like 10-15 instead of 18-23 though). I got a flail like that for my crusader, since you couldn't buy flails on the AH and I wanted the chance to roll...

    Dark Souls 2

    I one shot it while I was exploring the zone for easy loots, then later when I came back to really clear I noticed there were switches on the way that raise platforms and would have made the fight easier. He's basically like a trash mob. There's a few bosses like that, skeleton kings, the fat...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Btw they're having a weird bug atm with people logging in naked. Relogging fixes the problem and your gear doesn't actually disapear, but if you play HC you might want to double check everytime cause you'll die in one hit to anything if you're naked.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Sentries are pretty good imo, I used them most of the time, they do reasonable damage now, if the fight lasts for more than 5-6seconds then they're insanely effective in hatred. Granted if you're farming white mobs it's shit, it's mostly for rare packs and stuff which I kill. They'd be a fuckton...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Oh I watched the end of that game, chat was spammed with the salt icon and yeah there was a lot of whining. Hero seems to work alright to me, typical assassin char. Wins 1vs1 all the time(or close to) but dies in seconds to focus fire.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My opinion is that it goes Wizard > Monk/WD > Barb/DH or so. Barbs and DH are fine mind you and DH with the right gear is actually higher, but you do need the right gear more so than other classes(krider bow is insane for example and cindercoat is almost equally insane with cluster arrow...

    As I said I didn't check the last build, and that was a while ago, no one knows "right now" cause they shut down beta like what a month ago or so. Can expect some changes based on internal testing and what not so hard to say. I don't know about underpowered, I said a bit on the weak side but it...

    Is there a cooldown on symbiote btw, and like a cooldown after you exit? Or can you just symbiote around the map without restrictions(other than your symbiote skills cooldowns like spine and shit). Only streamers I've seen seem to suck in general but it looked like a fun hero, by far the most...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah it's probably faster to farm the act4 warden first then fill what you need with the other wardens. Act3 warden has the fucking annoying event everytime(unless he spawns before it but it's not often), act2 area is pretty fucking big and act1 is relatively big too.

    Heroes of the Storm

    I've seen people claim mercs they didn't kill, you have to stand on the camp for like a second to claim it so you can sometimes steal them if you knockback the enemy out right as he kills last one and stand on it. In terms of map objective you can also pick up the coins and skulls of shit you...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'd say having both life% and vit is a bit of a waste, would have been a lot better with a DPS stat like crit on it instead, but eh. You probably won't be using it at 70 anyway, and I'd probably reroll the life% than the gold personally, gold is useful and so gold find might actually be useful...

    I don't remember any stats requirement for the flame, what do you mean? Not sure if fall damage is absolute or based off max health but if it's scaled then you could probably get the dark flame from the gutter at SL1 after farming enough souls for the ring, would be boring as shit though...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well yeah space wise it pretty much sucks but I guess you'll just loot the ones you have plans for and probably craft them right away. Might also change don't know that's what's on the game guide page on the 70 recipes they all have those. You also need unique materials for each legendary I...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Always go for the kill, unless it's absolutely sure the opponent isn't getting away(people all around him, he's just running away, he's one hit away and stunned/slowed so your carry is getting hit regardless etc). I think I said that like 2pages ago but removing last hits is a fine decision...

    I was getting about 3millions per full story run from selling whites, granted that's not efficient farming but it was a nice bonus. At some point I was throwing away rares so I could carry more whites without having to go back to town yet. Act2 has quite a lot of weapon racks and crates too in...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Other than the buggy skills that were OP, I believe it was more on the weaker side than the OP side. The lack of mobility makes it a fairly crappy farmer, possibly the slowest of all classes, it's close to WD but the movespeed skill has a shorter cd on WD and can be refreshed constantly with the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well there wasn't in beta and I see no reason they'd even consider adding that. It just makes no sense for them to do it considering how ridiculous the amount of mats some people have, so even if the conversion had a terrible ratio you'd still have people with thousands of new materials right...

    Farming paragon is more useful if you plan on playing crusader, but other than that yeah gear isn't particularily useful. On that note, stuff you might want to do before the AH closes on tuesday: Sell ALL your gems. Keep a high ruby if lvling a crusader for socket weapons(crit dmg sucks...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah that's often the case of HC, you need to use defensive shit even though it's useless 99% of the time, just for that 1%. I don't play D3 on HC but I played PoE HC a lot and I'd always have like whirling blades or leap slam to get out of shit if I got stuck and would always gear for hp/resist...

    Well the "run around the room and everyone who gets a bomb go drop it out of the raid" isn't really exactly new, shit was done in naxxramas during vanilla wow. Granted it wasn't bunch of the ground falling and shit, just the slow expanding poison circles, but conceptually it's basically the same...

    On the snowballing thing, it seems to really depend on the map. They're definitely not balanced properly(the main objectives I mean). Like when you do the skeleton golem map, even a max golem is still fairly shit, you know which lane it's coming on, where it spawns, in how long and it's just an...

    Only thing that changes is a very small additional chance per torment level for legendary, and keywardens start dropping keys at torment level. Other than that there's no difference between the difficulties in terms of drops. In RoS some legendaries only drop at torment/certain torment...

    Aren't flat xp bonuses added before %? That said yeah it's a leveling bonus, it's not really good otherwise(and even for lvling it's very so so). That's what the enchanter is for though, assuming you roll perfect other stats. I guess that's the point of the item system, even with smart loot and...

    Oh now that you say that I think I remember some shit like that. Guess it's a blizzard thing but fucking weird for this type of game imo. Having a rotation during alpha/beta also kind of sucks, only see the same heroes over and over. Guess they're testing the buying part and shit but wish they...
