    Guild Wars 2

    Intersting read I suppose. There was one part that made me kind of laugh though. To make playing in our open world worthwhile, we?ll make it rewarding enough for players to spend their time there across all levels. It?s extremely important that we stay true to our philosophy that you should...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Nice to see them buffing classes to equalize, rather than nerfing classes. I have no idea what "Wave of Light" is, but DAMN at the DPS output of that monk ability now. Have to think there are many a shelved monk that are happy with those changes.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    While farming for the Machine recipe I actually had a real upgrade drop. The Immortal helm dropped for me which had a little higher strength and more importantly an 84 Vitality attached to it. That save me 20 mil or so...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I am saving up for a cleave belt now. It will just be a basic one though, not one of the 20 mil ones. Then I need to upgrade my Bracer. What is a good bracer to get for barbarians? I saw the +% to runspeed one, but those go for alot of gold..

    Nice weapon. What build are you running with now? I am still working with the rend build.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Trying out your build. I am not quite as immune as you are to damage. Sitting in the fire with chains and the arcane spinners tends to still get me killed, but I like the build. The only thing is, I have to have sprint. It just feels so slow playing the game without the ability to move...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You should do fine in inferno. Might even be able to get all the way through it. If not, does not take long to get the gear that allows you too. Big thing with MP is that you have to turn it on. For some odd reason it is not default on. You can find it under options though. Once on, it is...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There have been a lot of changes, mostly for the better. 1. Improved Search Engine on the AH 2. Inferno was weakened a little but they added an MP rating that ranges from 1-10. The higher you go, the better the drops and experience. You do not have to complete MP1 to go to MP2 though. Can...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Finally got the chest piece for 13.3 Mil. It was on the low side for armor at 670 but had the +161 to str and + 41 to Vit with + 74 to all resist. Kind of ho hum but it also came with a +19% to Magic Find, which is something I am good with given my 14 Paragon statis.

    I might give that build a shot once I get the 5 set. The chest piece is being a bit elusive at the 160+ str range. I currrently have 12 Mil gold. Then I will go to the boots which appear not be be too expensive in comparison. As it is I am farming ACT 1 MP3 now.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    No 12% runspeed on boots? I guess that works. I like to go through dungeons as fast as I can get away with. Your life at 14k is scary low. I run near 20k and I still feel like that is a little low. The 5 piece set is nice, but I only plan to go to the 3 set bonus point. The chest piece is nice...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Won a 2nd belt that was better than my first one. Put new one on and put the first one back up on the AH. Found a wand that was 1266 DPS. If only it had had intel instead of the dex. It did have a socket though, so I might be able to get some gold for it.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Ok, got belt and axe now. Also got a pretty descent ring for 400k. I noticed my follower is not dying near as much and it got me to thinking. What follower do you run with using the barbarian now? Also, what equipment should I attach to the follower? Also, just got a nice amulet for...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So I spent 1 Mil on a Skorn. I think I did pretty well on the purchase. It is 1272 DPS with +315 Str, 193 crit hit with an empty socket. It is a little weak on the bleed though 6180-7778. however, it did come with the small bonus of +1.3% chance to blind(What exactly does that do?). The...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Not going to be able to afford a Skorn with 1400+ DPS. I will be aroundthe 1200 range but with similiar stats. I do agree with you though that the price was very very good at 10 mil.

    Have some bids up on 2 bindings and 2 skorns now. Will keep watching the AH and hopefully win one of each.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Thankyou for the help. I will give the Throwing barb spec a run. I noticed your sprint had nothing special. Do you use the Nado formation special with sprint? Also on Skorn do you socket for LoH or Crit?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Does anybody here play the Barbarian? Just came back to try the game again and I am trying to get some advice on what I should concentrate on for gear. I can almost handle MP1 Inferno stage 1. I say almost because I still get raped by certain Elite mobs (Chains,frost, stick comboes as an...

    Guild Wars 2

    Your account might have been hacked and used as a BoT. Only thing I could think of that would cause a ban having not played in a while. GW2 did many things right, but regretfully ignored some basic ideas. These are some changes they really need to make in the game. 1. Obviously fix the...

    Well, now what?

    I have said this many times throught the recent years and will continue to wish for it. EQ the next generation if done right, I would of course play. However, just take the game EvE and apply the base idea/structure to a fantasy like setting. That is a game I would play for many many years. DAoC...

    Well, now what?

    While I agree to a minor extent that playing your first MMO is indeed eye opening, I think it is more than that. The huge difference between MMO's today and yesteryear is the difficulty of the game. EQ was pretty much the last MMO where a character dying actually meant something. All dying means...

    Guild Wars 2

    I still play the game. I do not want to go back to WoW and I enjoy the fact that I save 14.95 a month and still enjoy my time. There are many games that deserve a refund(Honestly I would have done this in a heart beat with Diablo 3), but this is not one of them. They made a lot of mistakes, but...

    About fohguild.org and Requiem

    I must say it is kind of disheartening to see the FoH board come to an end. Hard to believe I lurked and posted on that board for over 10 years. I suppose this supports the Mayan calender and time is truly ending. It was nice knowing all of you and hope to see you on the flip side. Of course...
