    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'll admit I didn't push as high in vanilla as I can now, time investment and AH and all that. Life steal tieing recovery to DPS seems pretty good WITHIN the system at the time. I can understand they want players to care about 3 types of stats instead of 2, but they failed horribly at that...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I feel like Blizzard hasn't done a great job at balancing the scaling of dps, toughness, and healing. If you're ranged, you can slack on one of those if you're willing to play that way. But melees don't have that luxury. You're going to take damage, lots of it, and you're going to need to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I haven't tried it myself, but it does seem like a farm or group set. I could see using it to farm GR35s with enough gear. Supposedly there are Cru/3xUE DHs doing GR45 in ~90s.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Pure numbers, it's likely better from the get-go. But if you're pushing grifts solo, you're going to have a tough time. Pets and slowing turrets are pretty nice. Just to clarify, 15% for each point of discipline, it's not hard to get enough discipline where that bonus beats out the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They shortened the animation of rend, applying it mid WW is near instantaneous. If you hold down WW(notice this is why I have it on a non-mouse button) and then press rend, you'll apply rend and immediately go back to spinning. The loss in DR% is only a concern in grifts where you can be one...

    750k bloodshards makes it ok to gamble on weapons and jewelry. I think they should leave this change in.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, I wonder when we'll see it. I don't know what the problem is with keeping max per character. His counter example is dumb. Anyone that pushes grifts knows you can get higher in groups than solo. Nobody is going to be disappointed when they can't upgrade their gems in solo because...

    I take back my comment about playing on a phone. The interface is much better than I expected and the performance was much better on the Nexus 5 than it was on my Nexus 7(2012). Now, how to deal with battery drain...

    That's actually a good point. A high end chair that has easily detachable armrests would be awesome.

    Is getting married, settling down, etc what changes a person, or is turning ~30 the impetus?

    Just thought it was funny that the "customers who viewed this item also viewed", for me, was filled with 2/3 Brahma links. Those cream-colored Sennheiser HD598 and that ridiculous hipster noise fan. I'd appreciate a chair where the armrests aren't the first thing to break. I've gone...

    If only most humans could easily separate sex and feelings they often associate with it. Part of my brain can realize that's normal and should expected that my wife would want to fuck other people. I could even tell her that's ok, we talk about it beforehand, lay out some ground rules, and she...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They really need to get rid of trials. I've been enjoying just about every other aspect of this patch. Speed bulldoze T6 rifts for mindless fun, farm mid-high 30's grifts for shards and legs, push mid 40s to 50 grifts to level up gems and up your shard cap. Ok, that last one is a bit weak, I...

    Our deck was in poor state when we bought our house. The siding near the flashing coming off, the styrofoam was falling apart and there were tons of leaves and sticks in there. It needed a repainting and cleaning. I mention the siding/flashing because I had considered a power washing but I...

    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...

    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.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    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...

    Hearthstone

    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...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    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 +...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    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...

    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...
