So, Diablo 3

[Razor]

I was playing my Wizard with my friends hilariously overpowered barbarian - he had specced almost entirely in strength, so his damage was double mine frequently. He completely destroyed everything we came across, including the bosses, they'd be down in seconds. The last boss took a while longer, but still much shorter than it should have taken.
It wasn't until nightmare where this became an issue, as he started dying more. So he replaced a few rubies with amethysts and now he has nearly as much DPS as he did, while having another 2000 HP than he used to.

I find it a bit hard to find good weapons for the wiz. Wands and sources generally don't live up to the damage expectation of other weapons. In the end I swapped them for a staff, a staff with a wooping 82dps. Sure I attack slower now, but the damage increase was something like +94,5 dps after I popped in a perfect ruby.

Also, barbarians are strong. Really good if you find good weapons. My 32 barb got around 550 vitality and 400 strength. Of course I'm tanking stuff. Whenever someone in my party gets down by those blasted heralds of pestilence I can stand in their attacks and laugh. Gotta say that either normal is too easy or a combo of barb, wiz and WD is too powerful. Been nuking every boss since boss 1 act 3 in a minute or so. Wizard got the slow time that increase damage taken by 20%, I stand my ground and the witchdoctor does witchdoctory stuff. Still haven't played one of those. Also, being able to stand in boss 4 act 3's magical black hole thingies that appear on the ground and not dying felt great.

They can jump. But you gotta replace the war stomp with leap.

Normal leap:
leaps to a place, slows enemies there and damages them-
1st rune:
You get tripple armor after landing for 4 seconds.
2nd rune:
Enemies are slowed when you use leap as well, as in where you stood.
3rd rune:
Enemies are pushed away where you land as well.
4th rune:
Increases the AoE of the landing attack
5th rune:
Makes the enemies stunned for 3 seconds.

You don't have to replace anything with anything if you click that setting in the options. You can have your whole tool bar from one skill area if you like.

Well I'll be damned Razor, you just removed one of the things i thought was annoying in this game. Elective mode is the boss.

Marry me, Razor

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

So the game is down for 8 hours and I am dying inside. I must raise money for my secret staff! Oh well.

Where we all at?
I got a WD L42 up to Nightmare Act 2(.66).
My Wizard L37 is somewhere in or past Nightmare Act 1.
My monk is L20-something in Act 2.
My DH is also in Act 2 I think, and he's only L14.

Why haven't I been flooded with invites yet?

[Prpl_Mage]

Because I'm in the friggin EU. Not all that into american servers.

Got a wiz at 43, just finished act2.
My Barb is 34, Skeleton king in act1 or so.
Demon hunter is 35, the parts just before act1 final boss.
Monk is lvl 6, I just started it.
WD is lvl 1, killed the zombies at the gates, ran into town and took a bunch of WD gear from the stash to save space.

I got the jewelcrafter on the level to make radiant gems, the blacksmith - I donno. Don't really care for the guy. But I did find a recipe to a certain staff of herding when fighting that one frosty boss in act 4. Can't remember where I found all of those black mushrooms in the beta though.

Not having internet blows.

[Archem]

Not having the game is kind of a bitch.

[SaiKar]

My Wizard is mid-20s, just killed the siege machine monster thing in act 3.
My JOB is level 100 and is eating all my time. I'm currently posting from a laptop that sure as hell can't run Diablo 3 while on a business trip until the end of tomorrow.

[Razor]

I suppose those are all valid reasons. Sign.

Cathedral level 1

[Prpl_Mage]

Cathedral level 1

Gotta check that out then. Works on all difficulties or just the higher?

Wiz is now 45, destroying some ballistas.
Demon hunter is 38, just beat Act 2 boss 1

Maxed out my stash and finally got some space for all my gems, rings and dyes. Thinking I should probably sell off some items that I'm saving for future characters.

[SaiKar]

You guys are like 20 levels of ahead of what level I was at during any given part of the game. Seriously, I just took out those ballistas myself, and I'm about level 25 on wizard. It's a bit unnerving, but perhaps that explains why you find everything so easy.

I'm at nightmare of course.

lvl 1 > lvl 30-something: Normal
lvl 30-ish > lvl 50-ish: Nightmare
Lvl 50-ish > 60: Hell
Lvl 60 > geared up: inferno

[SaiKar]

Well, that makes more sense then.

33. Just got on to Nightmare. Arcane Hydras ftw
