    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    D3 timeline Items have huge roll variance, legendaries are rare, bad and uninteresting: "Blizz, I can never find good items, and my one legendary sucked. I am forced to trade for items. Plz fix." Items have huge roll variance, legendaries are rare, uninteresting and occasionally best in...

    Anything that gives them something more important to focus on than the Liverpool game is a good thing in my eyes.

    Well, to be fair, that's 13.6% voting for the stupid option. If your supporter base has only 14% idiots, you're probably pretty well off compared to most clubs. Given the choice between two evils, I'd love for Everton to beat out Man U to a PL title, but then I'm not from Liverpool so I've...

    Yep, but most builds have at least two damaging skills (builder+spender), which makes elemental better.

    Hover over the skill on your hotbar. It will have a blue snow graphic in the field on top, and a note that says "Cold". Similarly it will be red with "Fire" for fire, etc. ALL damage dealt with that skill will be of that element and be affected by +elemental damage, regardless of your weapon...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    ^All this is true. How many people ran around with Enigma rune words in D2? Have you ever tried to farm those runes yourself? Do you have any idea how many hours of farming would go into that? D3 drops are currently WAY more generous than D2 or PoE ever were, which is only made possible by...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I wouldn't mind elemental damage % if they trimmed the classes to only have 3 elements on their runes, relatively evenly distributed, and smart loot should roll only those +element affixes. That would allow for more variety in each element, while maintaining the feeling of speccing your...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If you want to reroll the amulet, the best choice by far would be to reroll the Res All into +elemental damage to your chosen element. To be honest I wouldn't bother, those are all fine attributes, and that amulet will never be perfect anyway (lowish crit damage, no single resist for OWE, wasted...

    Those points are not mutually exclusive. SAS and Johnson went down like 10 times last night and only got a couple free kicks. 2-3 of those times they went down far too easily, and the ref was right not to give one. Several other times they were clearly tackled and should have had one. Of...

    My current go-to builds for HC: Group Tank - Easy Content (gotta go fast!): Monk - Game Guide - Diablo III Basically just set up to speed through the map with the group and kill everything ASAP. Run / Dashing Strike between groups, Cyclone Strike, hit once or twice, move on. I don't have a...

    Yep. Also, two more observations: - Sturridge and Suarez have started flopping noticably more in recent weeks. I don't know if fair play is going out the window now that so much is at stake or what, but it's painful to watch them drop at the slightest touch (or lack of one). They've both...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Shit was kinda hard if you went untwinked in vanilla 2.0 also, people are just too used to twinking their lowbies and instantly upgrading half their gear to legendaries/set items when they hit 60, so they get caught off guard when that advantage disappears. Two days ago I had guildies arguing...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Hit 66 in a couple of hours before work, even listening to all the dialogue and stuff. Started out on Master, dropped it to Hard at 65 (I'm on HC). Even on Hard, the first boss (fire dude) was taking 50% of my monk's HP with his flamethrower, at level 65. Haven't found any real upgrades yet.

    My monk is like 110k DPS 2.3m toughness, and I tank T3 HC ubers all day long. Just need to throw on a shield for Siegebreaker and have cooldowns if he repeatedly picks you up, make sure to have sufficient healing (Mantra is fine) for Ghom, and dodge Maghda's arcanes. I've never tried solo...

    Game today was fun, but jesus christ LFCs defense is rubbish. The first Cardiff goal is a massive blunder by Joe Allen, the second terrible by Flanagan&Agger. I didn't get to see the third, but that was apparently not great either. Good thing our offense now is among the best in Europe. The...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You can farm keys solo fine, but don't do ubers solo. You need 12 machines of your own to open 3 portals four times. In a group of 4, you need 3 machines each to do the same. Join the RR clan or just ask in general chat or whatever, get a full group and preserve some of your sanity...

    Great result last night. It keeps Moyes in the chair a bit longer and gives Man U a confidence boost before the City game. Of course there is the nightmare scenario: Man U defies all odds and wins the CL, Liverpool finish 4th in the PL...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Doesn't really matter what you do for drops. Speedrunning the game on Normal might be slightly better than the alternatives, but it's not a big deal. Do whatever you find fun. I do a healthy mix of running through the game, some COTA and some key farming. Mostly I just join friends, level...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I can confirm that WD, Monk and DH all feel very limited by resource pool if they want to do max DPS. I generally end up using low-cost or non-spammy spenders on all of them (Vampiric Bats, Cyclone Strike/Sweeping Winds and Frost Arrow respectively) to minimize the problem, but if I wanted to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    This is one of the reasons I prefer Hardcore. In Softcore it's a viable strategy to just go balls-to-the-wall DPS and ignore almost everything else, which makes the game entirely binary. You need enough DPS to kill shit before it reaches you or your cooldowns are spent, or you need enough life...

    Holy shit I forgot what a cesspool official Blizzard forums are. I tried to search for some blue posts regarding stash space to find their reasoning for limiting it so severely, and ended up finding pages upon pages of people arguing vehemently against an increase in stash space because "you...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    OK minus. As in it's a slightly less than average quality step up from the previous difficulty. All difficulties after Hard have the same HP and Damage increases over the previous tier, but the XP bonus varies dramatically. Expert is terrible, Master is good, the Torments are average with T4-6...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If I were to guess, hard is better XP even on softcore if you're untwinked. Sslightly more running around, but more XP per mob HP and less time wasted in death/near-deaths. Master might be more fun though. For hardcore: Hard no doubt.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yep, except you've already expended your free legendary off the Butcher. No biggie. For clarity, these are the guaranteed legendary rules: Butcher, Belial, Azmodan: Guaranteed legendary on first kill on each character, but only if character is not yet level 60. Diablo: Guaranteed legendary...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    For fun: Just play through the game, doing dungeons along the way. XP mostly comes from killing shit, so doing dungeons just adds more content at no penalty. You'll finish the game before 60 anyway. For the quickest XP and fastest route to decent level 60 gear: Play Act 1 up until the quest...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just play Hard for your first playthrough untwinked. It gives the second best XP per mob HP, just behind Normal. In Normal shit dies too fast so you spend a lot of time running around, but Hard is fine. Expert is worthless for XPing, just 14% more XP than Hard but mobs have 60% more HP. Master...

    Also, the act 2 warden is a mess on HC, since spinreflect is easily the most dangerous ability to a well geared character. Not having to deal with that is a good thing.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The act 4 keywarden seems to have the same key drop rate as the act 1-3 wardens, but it is random which one you get. As the zone is relatively quick to clear, and you don't have to argue with your pals about which keywarden you should farm, it's generally the only warden we farm when we're...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The only things that matter for farming atm are: - Hellfire Rings, as we don't know how hard they will be to get in the expansion - probably harder, at launch at least - Leveling alts to 60 (all 5 classes for SC, extras for HC), as we have 50% xp bonus atm, and equip them with basic gear - To...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    With how crazy twink gear is at this point, that wouldn't mean much. If you have a good Hellfire Ring, Star+ gems for early weapons/gear, as well as a reduced req level 60 weapon starting at level ~40, Master isn't any harder than untwinked Hard, and Torment only becomes a challenge in the 50s.

    Four Kings: First, google "Four Kings shortcut" and you'll find a video that shows you how to run back in 2 minutes tops. Second, upgrade/buff your weapon. Four Kings is just a DPS gear check, it's probably the easiest boss in the game mechanically. Finally, either practice rolling through...
