Some of us solo all of the time as people we know don't play games.

That contradicts my statement how exactly? I gave my opinions on the followers and also that group play is far more rewarding. And, even if you don't have friends, there are communities in game now. That makes it very easy to find people who also are looking to group.

If you prefer to play solo, what I said still applies (as the bonus to crit or damage when crit, followed by the heal and tanking ability are better than the enchantress).

I am only 150, but that is because I put a lot of time into my barb and just never played the other characters until much later. My wizard was perma stun CM with 250k DPS and I had maybe 40 hours played on it. I also had two monks, both around 40 paragon. I ended up really disliking the way the female monk looked, so I rerolled.

My barb had the most time (followed by my DH, which I played maybe once or twice after paragons were released) and so I didn't get a ton of levels over 100 after this update. =(



The enchantress used to be okay, because you could give her a legendary staff that had magic find. However, now, it sucks. I suppose the 3% APS might be a little helpful, but I'd think either the crit or the heal would be better overall from the other two followers. Plus, you can tank up the Templar (mine has like 125k HP) and he can take a lot of heat off you if you're a ranged character.

i use the ehchantress on my wiz when running the forzen orb build. she has a azurwrath with 15% chance to freeze and attacks insanly fast. works out pretty nicely running the freeze everything build

could do the same with a BDK on the scoundral with high% if you are lucky enough to have one

There are situations where the enchantress can be useful, however, those aren't as many as the scoundrel, IMO. Sure, a high % BDK is hard to come by for new players, but a Hellrack isn't. And that might not have the same chance to immobilize, it isn't entirely worthless. Or, even a WF with some APS rings / amulet will have a decent amount of knockback (plus the blind and now nerfed multishot). You also get the damage buff.

Does the Torment level seem harder to anyone else than the highest level of MP previosuly?

Blizzard said that torment 1 was supposed to be roughly equal to mp10. Its hard to really compare though because of the new items.

Damn you. I want one of those. I just found one of those raven bows. I don't think the raven even does anything.

Before, monster health went up but damage did not go up near as much as it does now. That's the difficulty in the higher Torment levels: absorbing the +2540% damage.

 

[Jules]

I didn't own the base game, so I paid $59.99 for the base and expansion combined, which doesn't seem too bad to me.

Good deal, Probably wont see a battlechest for a bit.

I know, now I'm dying to get a lvl 70 one.

Blizzard can't balance things these days without jacking numbers to astronomical values.

[lupi]

nightmare poison frozen and teleporting, fubar combination.

 

[smackababy]

From what I've been told, it is balanced for level 70. And doing T6 isn't supposed to be something everyone can do when they hit 70. It is supposed to be the hardest of the hard, and it is.

 

[smackababy]

Gold was up to $6.87 a stack! Just got RoS for free.

Sigh, only half way there Lol. Might not make it. Almost out of items to sell too.

Sell white items. People are paying lots for them to get the crafting material.

Yeah I sold 500m for $6.50/stack ($65 before the blizzard cut) last night. I was surprised because I bought 1.2b gold a few months ago for just over $20.

 

[pandemonium]

Nicely played!

 

[Anubis]

humm i have 800 mill

 

[Cappuccino]

Don't sell your gold. You will need it in RoS. Unless you quit. Save up at LEAST 100million, trust me you will need it.

EDIT - I'm Paragon 300 woop woop~

 

[Adrenaline]

I am doing the challenge achievements achievements and am now down to two. I need to kill 25k trees and and then the other one has become a pain in the butt to get, killing Azmodan before any demon gates spawn troopers while the game is on Master or higher.

My Monk has 242k dps buffed with Scoundrel and still can't do it. I got my friend to come on his Archon Wizard and still could not get it. The gates spawn adds fast.

 

[Tweak155]

We'll see how long that lasts.

EDIT:

Also, Tallbill, sorry to cut out yesterday... my internet went out for the rest of the day / night. Didn't come back til this morning.

I agree with him. Also, I think gold will hit over $10 / 50 million on March 17.

Agree with that? I don't understand.

Not sure if this is new or old but worth a look. Kinda funny!
