well the reality of that is WoW has millions of people paying a fee every month and a cash shop on top of that so they are going to churn more content out for that game (but I still think they dont put back in near enough content for the money it makes them)
Diablo is buy once and keep playing for free thankfully.
Thats why Mir needs to run more T2 with me "Carm"..... I need the shards()
I've heard [for pub and non-close friend games] it's best to just run and kill with the group, only pick up rare+, only go to town to drop off, etc. Basically be in the game killing as much as possible.
Then when you leave the game, check out your stuff.
I've always found it pretty simple to port back to town, sell gear, repair, and go right back into the action in less than 1 min.
I always pick up all blues/yellows b/c arcane dust and veiled crystals become necessary when you start crafting/enchanting a lot.
Which was done as a reaction to players complaining incessantly about a lack of legendaries. Sure they're basically glorified rares but again it circles back to striking a balance between getting what you want but not getting to too fast. So there's a bunch of 'stat stick' legendaries which are actually great for someone upgrading from a rare piece or who just hit max level essentially - but no, there's nothing remarkable about them.
Personally I thought it was a good decision (though it's value is somewhat annulled the longer people play and with the crafting changes). It comes with the added consequence of some legendaries being "more legendary" than others fairly definitively - but that was always the case.
I would gladly pay a monthly fee for more content.
Any body is trying PTR ?
Yeah, I can't bring myself to ever beta or test realm stuff because it would just be putting time into a known trash.
What if I find a MoJ in 5 minutes on there? I'd probably never play the game again.
They really need to remove Magic Weapon and Familiar from the Wizard class so that build diversity can happen.
Because paperdps is all that matters really in higher torments. If you aren't killing things quickly, you're wasting your time.
Play on hard. You're leveling and it really doesn't matter. Just grind out to 70 and then reassess what you should be doing. Spamming bounties on normal at 70 is a quick way to get gear, btw. Plus, joining some Rift It Forward after you get some fragments will help you gear through Kadala.a bit of a dilemma.
I was playing on hard for awhile but it got to be pretty easy. i then changed to expert i think slightly before act v. I beat act v on expert and it was a bit tough, especially on some of the stronger enemies. started playing bounties on expert and getting my ass handed to me.
so went back to hard, but hard is too easy and expert is slightly too hard, lol.
I'm level 65 right now. what difficulty should i be playing on?
Depends on the character. For my WD, I think I am using the Temptress for the APS boost. The Scoundrel is the best for DPS I believe though. The Templar is decent enough if you need some survivability help.oh and what follower do you guys use? I've been using the Templar as I really like his support skills. Plus he is my best geared followr.

His point was that paperdoll dps isn't a good indication of actual damage output. WDs are a great example. They might be lacking in paperdoll DPS, but their combination of skills with the right gear eclipses any other class. Things like CDR, elemental and elite damage, pets, etc aren't counted in your paperdoll dps.

Say what?
I don't think paperdps is accurate. You can have paperdps showing 500k but realistically do 10M dps with elemental and skill % buffs, whereas someone who has 1M paperdps but none of the elemental/skill buffs will be doing much less.
He was arguing, that for the wizard class, mixing different skills instead of focusing on 1-2 and pumping up your raw dps was better.
Which is categorically wrong.
You have no combos as a wizard like a witch doctor does with pets and gear or haunt/locus swarm and set+hat.
As a wizard, you inflate your paper doll dps, run a bunch of +arcane and run cdr for Archon or you inflate your paper doll dps, run a bunch of +fire and mirror ball for conflag. That's it.
Please let me know this magical combination of skills that aren't-
1. An armor,
2. Magic Weapon
3. Familiar with +10% passive damage
4. 3 other things
The wizard class is pretty much stuck with 1-2 things that work at T5-6 and that's a problem. You are forced to increase your raw dps to remain effective, no combine some eclectic combination of skills to get to the next tier. Because that does not work for them at all. Tal runs out of steam at around T4, the fire bird set is useless at the moment. Vyr's if you're doing Archon otherwise.
Edit: Or I guess WoW explosion set, so 3 things. But you're still running the same basic 2-3 passive "active" abilities.
...then go play WoW...
Heh.

Been watching some PTR streams and I really want to do tiered rifts. Level 40 is much harder than T6 apparently. =)
Its not at all relevant. DPS is useless measurement overall right now. If you're an eq barb, what's more important? CDR or ias? Which one gives you more paperdps?
Same with other classes.. Your ability to get to your max damage skill is way more important than how quickly you can spam a primary skill. However, ymmv.. It does depend on your build and class. My Pet doc doesn't spend a dime of mana and doesn't need any cdr. So ias on him is a very good stat. My jade doc has no need for ias, and getting to SH is more important.
Overall, toughness is more important than paperdps at high T lvls.
