Pretty sure its going to be like d2 now, you'll want some legendaries for the unique affixes because they can make a build, but lottery rolled rares will be best in slot.

What makes you think this?

I was using a pretty fun build last night with good success. It is pretty similar to the build I used leveling up my barb.

Cleave w/ Rupturing
Rend w/ Lacerate

Overpower w/ Spree
Ground Stomp w/ "That pull the mobs in rune"
Leap w/ "That pull the mobs in rune"
WotB w/ Slaughter

P1: Brawler
P2: Berserkers Rage
P3: Weapon Master

The build plays out pretty much like you'd think. You leap in, things get sucked towards you. You Rend then you spam Cleave. Ground Stomp to pull more shit in, Cleave them down some more. When you encounter an elite pack you pop up WotB and watch that shit die instantly.

When I would encounter a mid/end boss (I was playing thru storyline) I'd swap out Ground Stomp for HOTA, Cleave for Frenzy and swap P1/P2 with Animosity and that one that gives you free rage.

Frost Nova saves your friends lives too =p With the electric stun + nova + blizzard + frozen armor shit stays locked down. It worked really well last night on the new ubers on T3. Havent used it past T3 but its nice for far. Going to try the meteor one tonight and see how that goes.

Going to be doing Ubers again all night, looking for more people with a bunch of keys or machines. We can farm some keys and do a set in between etc. PM me or message me tonight in guild ill be on Luxury / Money

Hrm, I ran with a few people from ReR last night, and it was pretty fun. I'm completely outleveled compared to the rest though (paragon 8? vs 55 75 and 117).

My barbarian build, I have 4 pieces that give +dmg to fire and frenzy so I built around it.Barbarian - Game Guide - Diablo III

The +dmg text is no joke, just because it says less DPS or attack etc doesn't really mean that if you slot the right runes.

My main, I switch out helm and some other stuff based on what I need, I have found two set pieces so far both were upgrades but barely.Tessai - Community - Diablo III

Anyone find a green yet? I'm seeing a some interesting legendary items, but so far no greens.

I got two greens of the same set on an SK run last night with some forum pals. They were both total shit.

Yep. I got an IK chest off my barb's SK run and thought it was going to blow away the one I had on. Turns out its missing some of the guaranteed stats that made the IK chest ideal. Sad panda.

So are you able to play the Crusader now if you pre-purchase or do you have to wait until the launch of RoS to play as one? I'm on the fence about picking it up, but I do want to check Crusader out.

I don't... understand how people ask about these questions. I've seen tons of people ask that in game, as well as why they can't access adventure mode and shit.
This isn't the expansion, its system changes to adjust/prepare for the expansion.

The class, and game modes are all a part of the expansion, not the revised system.

Although, I guess their little overlay that you first see when you login is kind of deceptive, saying you can "Try it now" or whatever which is really misinforming heh

People who were beta testing ros said that and looking at how loot is panning out it seems to be true.

Either way, from my little experience alone, I have to disagree with Kudos at least for now, before rares were not exciting and you were not looking to pick up rares. I played mostly dh and wizard and pretty sure everything they are wearing is set/legendary with the exception of gloves and amulet because there were no good legendary gloves and a well rolled tal rasha amulet would cost billions. Now rares can be extremely useful as they can give you a nice buff to skill to really make a build work. In the end that might change, but I can see what people were saying on the forums having some merit.

If they're windowed just make the one you want to move the active window, then hit Windows Key + Shift + Left or Right arrow.

Shit works like a charm. I never knew that windows shortcut. Thank you. Was able to easily switch my WoW/Diablo windows all around. Much appreciated.

It's expansion only, though the UI is there so it's kind of a tease

Gavinmad · Feb 28, 2014

I had a chantodos offhand that was worse than the one I already had despite having 500 int on it, so I gave it to someone from the clan. Also a Tal Rasha's offhand that wasn't as good either.

Was about to ask why jewelry crafting requires lvl 70 crafting mats, but I guess it's a known bug.

Probably because I haven't cared about this game since a month after release and Crusader is listed in the character creation list with the option to upgrade. It's not a big deal, I just wanted to impulse buy it and check it out. By the time it's released my interest will likely have ceased.

Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III

Get attack speed, fire damage and Firebats damage where you can, also + physical can be good because of the fetishes and other pets.

Essentially you pump out 5-15 fetishes with Firebats and zombie wall (Fetish Sycophants passive) and run around and watch them devour everything while using zombie wall to taunt the screen. Use Big Bad Voodoo liberally because with the Grave Injustice passive shit cools down fast. My fetishes hit for almost 300k each swing. Firebats ticks for 800kish damage for me with only 105k character dps. I have about 550k toughness and can clear Torment 2 with no issues.

Also this build @ 70 will be even better with the passive that gives pets 50% more damage. Couple that with the WD set that lets you have Fetish Army (the skill) out full time, you will have 20+ fetishes on the screen at once a lot of the time.

This is basically what I had in mind when they introduced the WD but it really never panned out. Now its pretty nice to have an army of minions doing useful stuff for me.

That's a pretty cool build, and pretty close to what I use already. I too play a pet build, as that's what the WD is supposed to be in my mind. This is my current build (disregard the fourth passive, I misclicked and can't seem to remove it). But I'm going to try yours next time I log on.Clicky

I heard they had a patch? What did they change to prep for expansion?

Love this setup. Would you amplify fire damage (cleave) of Physical (rend + stomp)?

Can legendaries not roll +skill or +elemental damage?
