fire res and open socket, thats it i think... i may have a few but with barb stats but with substantially lower LoH.

sold one with +650 LoH 40 physical res 3.4% blind and +120 dex for $20 on RMAH, but that wouldnt have helped you anyway

teleport w/ fracture + archon = permanent invulnerability

activate both at the same time i think. someone posted this on battlenet forums recently.

lol tested it last night, i'm waiting for the ban hammer to fall, it's ridiculous, nice QA there blizzard. i didnt get shit for drops anyways, but i'm kinda tired of d3, so it was worth the ban risk to mess around and kill those bs affix elite mobs

i completed act 2 and 3 in about ~5 hrs just running to elite mobs, only killing white mobs when there were so many they blocked me from moving

Would you actually get banned for it?

No way. There is no way.

Its built into the game, everyone could be doing it. Not to mention they would have no way of knowing if one person was doing it and others weren't. They didn't know about it until recently and now it will be patched on the next patch, simple as that.

Dude is WAYYY over dramatic talking about "risking the ban hammer"

Well, I'm going to beat inferno tonight. Who cares if I get banned at this point since I'm pretty much done playing.

never know, i would think no they wouldn't but everyone on the battle.net forums is crying for the ban hammer to drop, and we know it's all those who don't have level 60 wiz's that are crying LOL

i need to get my WD up to 60 so i'm covered with all classes in case another glitch is found

How would they ever know if you did do this to cheat. Pressing both skills at the same time can happen to anyone.

lol after tonight, if they banned anyone who did it, they'd lose like 20% of the game population. prob more due to those with multiple 60's so I imagine they'd have to ban like 30%

If they don't nerf this by tomorrows patch, there's no hope for this game. All for the best though I guess, I'll have a chance to buy some good loot.

They can't even fix a broken FPS meter in 4 weeks now. I really hope this screws up the entire concept of RMAH.

Just because they're features in WoW doesn't mean they really have an impact or that they're negative. Potion chugging was an absolutely absymal implementation in D2, as were instaportals (why do you think they disabled that for Ancients? because it was a joke of a mechanic that trivialized encounters), the economy was a mess with no central hub (and gold was worthless), and taking into consideration how D2 builds were styled (max skill A, max skill B and C and D that provide synergy bonuses, dump a few utility/defensive points) you ultimately have about as many useful skills at one time (if not more) in D3 than you do in D2, the difference is if you decide you want to do something differently you just pause for a minute or two instead of going back to Normal Tristram and starting over completely.

Achievements are a non issue, don't want them then don't do them. Kind of the same with professions. Durability loss is hardly unique to WoW but is really just remix of the D2 death mechanic, flat gold loss.

Personally I cant understand why anyone played D2 as long as they did, but they did so anyway. Ultimately I think it comes down to "Do you like lottery farming?" which is the essence of the game in both titles once you've beaten the story. Some people don't want to do it at all, some want to do it a little, and some will do it until they're blue in the face.

I think D3 is a substantial improvement upon D2 for the simple fact that it's actually a step towards more interactive, fun gameplay: D2 was fun when you got a good drop, and pretty drab much of the rest of the time because of it's spammy nature. Skill cooldowns, in my opinion, make gameplay much more engaging because you no longer just rely on your "one best skill" for combat. If a Barbarian could use Revenge as often as he could click, it would feel like D2 to me, and I think that would be a huge step backward and incredibly boring.

Loot is a matter of opinion. Personally I don't care about the font color of my items. I understand people liked the idea that "hey I can wear a unique or a runeword or a rare and they can all be good" but ultimately it still came down to the same min maxing culture and stat thresholding imo.

No potion cool downs in one or two, they are in three and are in WoW. 30 seconds is ridiculous in D3. Instaportals were nice in one and two, casting a town portal is like casting a hearth as in WoW. Same for skill cool downs. Revenge has no skill cool down I can think of, it is a proc, something also in WoW.

The economy in D2 wasn't that bad to me. I never really thought about it as I could find things that were tradeable in that game more often than in this one.

You could still build your character however you wanted by distributing points wherever you chose. You could make really weird build and tell about it. It felt more fun and engaging than now.

Lottery farming was not an issue in D2 LoD like D2 regular. They fixed that then reverted back to that same crap in D3. You still farmed for loot but the droprates of viable gear were far far better than what they are now. I don't care what quality the item is either, I just want useable gear to drop more often. I have each class at 60 and still have a hard time finding quality year for anyone to choose.

Why change what works? It doesn't make any sense to me as things in Diablo were headed the right direction. They reverted on some stuff to me. I have several friends that will not buy the expansion pack as they feel this game fails. You may buy it and I may buy it because we enjoy it, but Blizzard has lost a good amount of fans with this game. They should have called it something else as it is a big change from a Diablo game to a bunch of people.

This feels like a single player WoW game more than anything else to me. If I want WoW, I will just play WoW. Come to think of it, I have loaded that up a lot more lately.

Soooo...Barb or Monk? Which is the ultimate end game (act 3&4 inferno) class? I guess I'm mostly looking for a self-reliant class. One that can get through all of inferno going solo. From what I've heard Monks are a lot harder to kill but do less DPS than Barbs. So, maybe it just comes down to personal preference. I just want to be able to beat inferno (asking A LOT i know) without having to rely on anyone else helping me through.

Do Barbs cost a lot more to equip than Monks end-game? That'll be a be factor for me as well. Will go the cheapest route - AH prices for good gear are insane, probably people out there duping infinite amounts of gold with some exploit blizz doesn't know about yet.

By the way, D3 Monk = Brian Wilson

post bump!

Wait they actually have 20% to lose?
Haven't played in a few weeks..astounding the lack of urgency by Blizzard...
<---has 60 wizzie, no desire to log in since the RNG range is still broken on drops...even with the God mode....

so did the servers just get shut down for the wizard fix?

I just - sadly - read about it - tested it - worked on my 2nd try - was so easy - I bet there are some people that have been doing this for a long time - I just got through 4 or 5 blue/yellow bosses in about 10 minutes on Inferno, Act IV - then the servers shut down!

Barbs are more fun to me. I love WW. If you like slow punching animations then the Monk is for you.

Blizzard really needs six filters on their AH for gearing out Monks and Barbs. They are about the same coastwise. I would say the Monk is a little cheaper.

I feel that everyone here has been a beta tester now. This game has not hit the point of completion. More beta fixes to come.

What I'm curious about is, why weren't there many reports of Inferno Harcore diablo kills? I wonder how many hardcore diablo kills tallied up since this went public.

Amazing how quick they jump on a fix when it affects the RMAH.

that's odd, server hasn't reset yet for me. wonder if it's a bigger issue than they can try to hotfix on the fly? only way i can see them stopping it is to disable archon or teleport for now LULZ

Agreed. It's been how long since 1.03? Blizzard has no functional system development life cycle or patch management process and to top it off I'm pretty sure they think production is the test environment. It's rather sickening.

Agreed.

Patch to help players = weeks or longer, maybe never
Patch to stop harm to the RMAH = hotfixed in hours or days

It still works

Maybe it is a ploy to get people to play D3 again, I actually played today since I could stomp everything with my wizard. Just finished inferno on her.
