People already have beaten Inferno.. Blizzard said it'd take until at least august.

I think they're bad at video games.

Yeah the people who beat Inferno are insane heh.

Are you surprised by this?


Anyway, starting a game on a fresh character (mage) for a little while. Feel free to join. If nobody does after a while I might go back to my DH.

I don't understand why we're not able to create our own chat channels.

Because Battle.net 0.2 always finds a way to regress. Get cross server play, lose ability to make chat channels.

Oh Battle.net 0.2 why are you such a terrible joke.

Man, I was playing this game and there was literally a ton of people who entered my house, like at least a good dozen of them.

They said they '' came to visit '' stayed for like 5 minutes and left.

What the hell, I swear I'm now some JRPG NPC and they stole my items.

So I don't see the point of crafting gems at this point. You can just sell your 3 gems in the store and get enough money for 2 of the next gem. I guess towards the way end of the spectrum, it will be way cheaper to farm your own gems and craft them.

Especially Bola Shot, that delay before damage holy crap.

This game is fun, it just kind of sucks for me because there is a one second lag for all my actions, and it's hard to target enemies because of it. I think it's because my graphics card doesn't quite fit the requirements for the game. It also causes my laptop to overheat after extended playing.

If you turn v-sync on in the graphics options it helps a lot with the heat for some computers. Might want to try that.

Entagling Shot is too weak. Bolas might have a delay but do good damage. I'm sticking to hungering arrow at the moment, not that I use it too much.

Entangling Shot + Rapid Fire master race, Throwing Knife with impact and Chakram depending of the situation.

Lol using defensive skills.

I stuck with hungering arrows most of the time. Started using Bolas once they got life stealing and definitely going to try the level 60 rune a bit.

Finally beat Diablo on Nightmare. Rapid fire + OH GOD RUN worked out.

As far as defensive abilities go, use the damaging caltrops, spider summon, and smoke screen which is indispensable in big fights or when you're low on health.

Oh and Rapid Fire is great too, but I've replaced it with Ball Lightning in my build

Bleh all this DH talk, let's talk about Wizardz

How about dat Split Magic Missile? 3 shots at 50% damage = 150%, I don't see why you would ever not use it. And it seems like it always pierces breakables, while regular Magic Missile doesn't.

Also Arcane Hydra is so good. It's like my own little pet that I can summon anytime and can solo kill lots of things while I look at my inventory or something. Way more useful than that stupid Familiar thing.

'he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance' - ertyu quoting Tidus

I've been rolling with forked lightning + chaining. Seems like the most effective one of the signature spells to fill arcane power quickly so I can drop meteors more often.

I would use arcane hydra but it's against my religion.

No I'll try it eventually just to see it but I'll probably change back after because I don't like to trade in one of my two fire spells. <_< Wizard is sorely lacking fire attack options in this game!

--
No problem!

So you're using the passive that gains back AP with signature attacks? I used to use that, but then I just went for the plus max AP and regen one, and of course the health globes regen one, and with the Diamond Skin -7 AP thing, I can usually kill anything using just Arcane Orbs.

Is Meteor good, though? Both it and Blizzard seem weak as hell for the amount of AP they use. 60 AP for a 220% or 280% or something damage attack? Arcane Orb/Obliteration does 230% for half the AP, and the same blast radius.

Sir Chris gave me the best tip ever: When searching for things on the AH set the max buyout to the 20k range and you'll find some great deals.

http://img.imgcake.com/chestaga1gifun.gif \ http://BennFried.com

Yeah using that passive. I think it's practically a must for Meteor cause that thing is so pricey.

I think the big thing that makes meteor have an appeal over Arcane Orb + obliteration rune is that you don't need line of effect to hit things. Makes it better for like, shooting into rooms and stuff you can't really see into well, or hitting key targets that are behind enemies. That also gives it a larger aoe in practice due to you being able to actually hit groups in the center rather than hitting the guy that's closest to you.

Also keep in mind with the damage upgrade it does 260% and 80% over 3 seconds so while Arcane Orb still gives you a bit better raw damage per mana (if they hit the same aoes which as I said-- much easier to attain good aoes with meteor) it's not by as much as you'd think. Also meteor later gets a volley alternate (which is what I'm waiting for) that does 7*80% which potentially straight outdamages on mana per damage but I'm not sure how easy that'll be to aim and hit with all 7.

As for blizzard it seems the big appeal is in the slow. The damage is a good deal lower than either. But the slow is fairly useful.

I mean I'd be using meteor anyway for FIRE but I've also had better success with it than obliterate arcane orb (which is what I was using till I get meteor). I think the damage is overall comparable in most cases but meteor seems a bit easier to use effectively.

True, that is pretty useful.

But my general strategy when encountering a big group or room is to just spawn a Hydra as deep as I can, then walk into the center with Diamond Skin and spam Arcane Orb, which I guess is a kind of brute force way to fix the line of sight issue.

I did this with a 3K max buyout a couple of days ago when I was like level 15 and got some really good stuff, it's a great technique

Also, thinking about it, I can see why they got rid of the competitive modes for now, it would be unbalanced as hell. Though it would be hard to be worse than D2 in that regard.

'Ulti is like when your parents post something on your facebook status' - Sir Cobain

For where I'm at, I use a max buyout of 10K, works great and I can usually get good stuff for about 5k or so.

Azmodan kind of went out like a chump. Nowhere near as strong as Belial. Guess even the lord of sin can't stand against twin chakrams + ball lightning!

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

Yeah Azmodan was pretty disappointing for me. I just sorta kept running and dropping meteors on him. I didn't even need to heal or even work to dodge really-- I took some minuscule AoE damage but that was it. Hopefully he gets more tricks in higher difficulties.

Well I hope he gets something other than "stand there" because that's basically all he did for me.

--

Also I'm really impressed with the difficulty scaling. I played part of Act 3 alone, and then the same part with someone else, and the enemies aren't just stronger and more plentiful, but they put more combinations of enemies together and such to make it more interesting.

This is what we were doing but with 3 of us running around, the part where the green blasts follow you around is ridiculously deadly

I have a feeling it'll be 100x easier by myself

But yeah now I don't know which ones are actually getting interest which doesn't help my ability to sell stuff in the future.
