With DH you can just keep going invisible. The hardest boss is actually Belial because the AOE is big. Diablo is a cake walk. Just run around waiting for Discipline to to restore, then switch off between Smoke Screen and Preparation. Combine with the Passives Night Stalker and Perfectionist (which I don't have yet, 35), and you can basically stay invisible for like 40 seconds of a minute. Kind of ridiculous actually.Quote:

Had some issues with the butcher. because o the crazy Environmental damage and long rang attacks.Quote:

Level 45 Demon Hunter. Still using chakrams, nothing else compares to them. I like the purple ones instead of the duels though they do a lot more damage. I basically have the same setup as I did 10 levels ago.
Preparation that fills up hatred so I can keep sending out the chakrams for a long time. Smoke screen to vanish for a few seconds and get out of harms way.
Playing around with rain of vengeance and other things, but those are just for fun.
A little pet peeve, but when the lore icon comes up and the VO is describing the back story about a new creature or reading someone's diary it bugs me that the VO can be cut off by random mob dialog. IMO an audio stream should never be cut off or some should take priority over others. Greg Kasavin spoke of this extensively and made sure that Bastion never used the same dialog twice and that nothing was ever cut off. I wish more games would take that into consideration.
Yeap. Really annoying.Quote:

Apparently there's a trojan of sorts that spread months ago through a out-dated version of Flash, as best I can judge, that has been either farming passwords through us.battle.net (Forums), the game login or both. There are also rumors of a variant that opens up a proxy on your machine so that your stash can be wiped out but it looks like it was just you login in. Most likely multiple attacks from different people, all Chinese-based. Blizzard account hacking just gets more and more aggressive. Only going to get worse with RMAH.
Get Authenticator. Use Chrome.
Same basic issue, but it bothers me more when something else is going on and I pick up lore that cuts it off. I missed a big part of something Zoltun Kulle said because I picked up a satchel when he was still in his first sentence and the lore pre-empted the entire rest of the conversation.Quote:

lvl 13 monk here... i find that there is no ideal skill/rune setup, it really depends on the mob and weapon you are using (which makes me wish there was quickkeys to equip different loadouts-unless there already is and i am not aware of it)...
ie when i am dealing with a couple of hulking beasts, i go for a pure speed loadout: dual knuckles or blades with fists of thunder or crippling wave allows me to get 5-10 hits on an enemy before they can even react, and have the time,while the daze and slow effects keep them from even touching you once.
with large groups of weaker mobs, i like to use a 2-handed weapon with deadly reach and piercing trident, it gives me slow sweeping attacks that 1 or 2-hit KO the entire group in segments
i actually use dashing strike as a defensive move rather than offensive since it lets you "teleport" to safety when you are walled in. that move paried with lashing tail kick (360-degree knockback) pretty much prevents me from ever getting stuck in a corner.
i have never played d1/d2 so i have no prior experience with the series but i am enjoying the little bits of quirky humor they throw in. i was expecting d3 to be a horror themed game with a serious tone, but find the random bits of humor and even the bad VO to be charming similar to Baldurs Gate. (I especially like the dialogue between the Scoundrel and Templar since they are so different)
one question i have is if anyone is bothering to buy weapons from the merchants, i find the monster loot to be superior in most cases to anything i can buy and dont even see a need to forge anything yet (just have a bunch of salvage material that i saved in my stash box), perhaps its because i am on normal difficulty?
Anyone been in Whymsyshire yet?
It starts to ramp up in Nightmare. In normal pretty much all weapons are overpriced garbage. In harder difficulties they start to become decent, but still not that great.Quote:

Something that could ruin the fun of finding loot for new players is the AH. I got on the AH last night and found two rare (yellow I believe) weapons that were much better than anything I had ever seen in-game for only 300g each... It makes finding loot pointless. Just sell whites to the vendor and buy all your gear on the AH. Maybe it changes at higher levels, but I may make myself not use the AH at all. Also crafting seems pointless at lower levels. The items are pretty much only blue in quality.
