What is this flavor you speak of in d3?

 

[PowerYoga]

oh you know, runewords and charms and such.

As far as it can go I think having -skill cost, + skill damage or something special like life leech, mana regen, +disc or other misc pieces. Something that can facilitate builds a bit more.

 

[rstrohkirch]

You mean all the stuff they left out of the game so they could sell it to your over the next few years in expansion packs and RMAH? You'll see it eventually.

I don't want to farm runes...

 

[darkewaffle]

The only reason runewords worked was because duping was so rampant. Good luck assembling one otherwise, though the AH might mitigate that. They were obscenely rare, at least for all the 'good' runes. The midrange ones were ok and added some nice options early on (words like Spirit come to mind, but even then that came quite late in the game), but ultimately this is Diablo, what people want is what's the best of the best.

Charms are one of the worst things about D2. At least as far as stacking them goes at least. Unique charms are ok though, but still they only served to raise the min/max tiers without actually changing anything whatsoever. It's collecting crap for the sake of collecting crap, which is very Diablo-esque admittedly.

 

[silverpig]

Didn't know that.

So maybe... double socket? I mean it's Tasker AND Theo after all.

IAS 15% is too high, i'd say 10%, especially if gloves themselves can have IAS rolls.

CD also too high... say 50%.

Also would rather topaz be Runspeed (capped at 13% or something to make it appealing). Would give us more options as opposed to must have 12% Runspeed on boots and must get lacunis.

If you have CD at 50% and CC at 8%, everyone's gonna take CC. You have CD high so people are tempted to use it.

Are you removing the 2 random rolls off the gloves? What if it already comes with CC. =]

 

[Imp]

Damn.

I found a Mempho with 186 dex, 40 phys res, and 76 all res. My resists were only around 190, so I swapped out my Andy's Visage ro this thing. The 10% life boost from Mempho and removal of +20% fire damage to me was also nice. But I miss my +7k damage from +4.5% crit chance.

Luckily, with the new life boost, I can dump one amethyst in my pants for an emerald for a 3k damage boost.

 

[smackababy]

If you had rolled crit chance on that Mempo that would have been huge money.

 

[digiram]

I hear that. Found a mempo a couple days ago, and was praying for a crit roll on it myself. no luck though. It's pretty decent though, 190 str, 80 AR, 11% life, socket, 8 ias, 14% reduction to enemy CC.

 

[Wyndru]

I don't want to farm runes...

Ugh, I know. I used to self rush 4 accounts at a time just so I could hit the forge quests in NO, NM and Hell just to cube them all up. And I think the highest I got was Ber after all of that time (and after using the lower ones for smaller runewords).

Then the accounts got converted to non ladder, which IIRC you can't cube higher than a certain amount, so I gave up.

Even without crit, they sell for a decent amount. Enough to get a great Andy's at least.

I like it better than my 170 str 5.0 cc IK helm actually. So, I'm down to just the glove and belt for the ik ar bonus now. 80 AR + ias makes up for the dps loss from CC, but I have enough CC from all other equipment to make up for the cc loss on the helm.

Are you a WW barb? If so does it actually make it up as in does it give you another break point or is just paper dps change?

Edit: I checked your gear and you get a break point on your main hand but not on your off hand.

 

[darkxshade]

sigh I've gotten like 2 dozen andys and not a single mempo

 

[smackababy]

I've never gotten an Andy's or a Mempo =( But I get shit legendaries though. I found an absolute garbage Manticore the other day. I mean, it is almost not even worth the brimstone it is so bad.

 

[rstrohkirch]

I found 4 andys this past week. Nothing special though as andy's get 1 random roll and most people want a socket or a primary/vitality stat roll. I barely find set items and the last 2 I've found have been horrible Zunimassa's Visions so I feel your pain.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Ugh this blows. Ran all uber bosses on MP7 + Act 1 KW MP7 and got NOTHING to drop.

0 for 4. Yeah it's not impossible to happen, but just sucks that I didn't even get one item.

Thankfully my HF ring is already pretty good and I only used 1 machine.

 

[silverpig]

Heh, I found an andy within 1 hour of 1.0.4 coming out. It had a ton of dex, but +25% fire dmg taken I think. I sold it for quite a bit too... 15-20M I think

No mempos for me though.

 

[Mantle]

So after all the hours i have farmed act 3, finally something drops that is worth something and a set item at that. I didn't have time to grab a screenshot but the stats were

Immortal kings irons
310 armor
184 str
57 all resist
Critical hit dmg 28%
Critical hit chance 10%
Life regen 300
Reduces dmg by melee 6%

Checked the AH and similar gloves were going for 300 million buyout.
In some of your opinions what are these worth?

 

[ixelion]

I bought the game during the sale, currently playing a Barb and only level 14 I think, and I just killed the Skeleton King.

So, am I the only one that finds the game unplayable on anything less than MP10? They give us TEN LEVELS of difficulty, WHY? does the game get that much harder? I only died once and it was becuase I was scewing around, there was no chance of me dying even while fighting the Skeleton King, that was a joke (althought it was tons of fun). Now I know why I was so bored playing the beta, I can't imaging playing this without the monster power feature.

On an unrelated note: Are newly unlocked skills always going to be better than previous? I find my self prefering older skills, I like the AoE bleeding skill instead of seismic assault for example, am I crazy?

It's funny how much of a diffrence the MP feature makes, I am enjoying the game quite a bit compared to the beta and it all due to this feature.

Not sure what you mean by "break point". I'm thinking it's just paper DPS. Yes, my Barb is WW.

Not a great one, but I can easily do mp7 ubers and carry people in it as well. I have another off hand sword, 700 dps, 50% crit, 700 loh, 2.7 ls. I use that for more survival. My current oh has 300+ str, it's a 8k dps increase even though the damage is lower than the other sword. Crit damage is same, and life steal as well, but no loh.

Let's say, the game doesn't really start till you hit Inferno. Even at release, everything was pretty simple till mid-way hell to inferno. Once, you hit inferno, before patch, it was a brick wall though. You either needed lots of gold, or you needed to get lucky. The game was insanely difficult.

You guys remember the enrage timer, and healing from Elites? Borderline unplayable.

Damn, that price sounds about right. AR + Crit damage. Really nice find.
