In Diablo 3, the demons upgraded from catapults to cannons.

When did Diablo get a cannon? If more WoW influence creeps in D3 might have firearms. OMG! Another thought just hit me. They wouldn't put a Hunter class in D3, would they? |

rofl sounds utterly crazy. OK. I never liked playing female chars but I'll give it a spin tonight. I hate builds that mature so late. all those skill pts holding till lvl 18 drove me crazy.

In seriousness, if there's that many of us putting together Diablo II chars, can someone volunteer to stick a list of nice uniques that we find ? Still short on Trang-Ouls Shite. |

50 Point Revive Necro. Oh man, that was the most fun I had in D2. Had an 90's necro with pretty much all of the summoning skills maxed (only went for the metal golem though). Max melee skels + max magician skels + max shade zombies (or whatever they were called) = people hated me. Them:"so much lagz! get out Necrophunkulac!" Me:"HAHAHAHA!" |
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Doesn't for me. At least not in 98, 2000, or XPSP2 Compatibility modes.

Really? I didn't run it in any compatibility modes at all. I just installed it, downloaded and installed the latest patch, and it ran just fine. |

All I remember about early Diablo 2 was how fucking annoying Necros with tons of pets were before you could walk through them, and how it was inadvisable to level Zeal too much as a pally since there was no swing cap on it. If you leveled the shit out of it you'd click and have to wait as your pally swung at the air 400 times rapidly.

I cannot help but feel I somewhat broke the game with a friend of mine in D2.
I made a Hammerdin and he went Necro with summons. It was quite a grind till I unlocked my bread and butter Holy Hammer. Things just fall apart too easily. I understand difficulty ramps up in Act 5. But with a little caution not much stands in the way of 400 dmg aoe missiles. So both of us decided to reroll tonight. He said he got tired of cursing and just watching things die, so we both went Melee classes.
My question is. How is this balanced?
At low lvl melee still had to run over n whack stuff. And lack of DEX means he miss more. He still have to worry about Defense, Block Rate, Atk Spd, and Chance to Hit. Not to mention HP Leech & Mana Leech at late game is the difference between life and death.
Compare this to a magic/skill based build like the Hammerdin. You basically pump all to Holy Hammer and Concentration. Even naked I still deal hundreds of dmg. I can ignore DEX if I wanted to, and just pump STR for gear requirement and VIT for more HP (Energy is dump stat) No mana ? 1 pt on Redemption and blue pots. All you need is Resists + Skilll +
Tonight I'm making Fanatic Pally with a friend playing Barbarian to show him the ugly side of melee. Much butthurt tonight I bet.

It adds up on higher levels. There is nothing ugly about melee classes at higher levels if you know what you are doing. I believe you are the perfect candidate for Blizzards policy and their scaling of "Warrior-like" melee classes, Warrior / Pala in WoW, Barbarian in D2. They seem weak at lower levels and look unattractive to people, but then you realise once geared and higher level they start kicking hardcore ass. I think it is both design and intention to avoid overpopulation.

My roomie, despite dying a lot at low levels, loves playing Barb. Doesn't matter how long its been since we last played, he'll roll up a barbarian and enjoy every minute of it and I think, like photek mentioned, that's the intention of Blizzard. Appeal to the people who want to play the class, not the people who are looking to play the easiest one.

Hammerdins are for gay homosexual communists. Everyone knows D2 pallies are all about zeal and fanatacism and chop-chop-chop-chop-chop-chop-chop to infinity.  |

TCP/IP games or B.net? US West or US East?
I won't have a connection at home until thursday, so you've all got a good head start.
Unless it's tcp/ip - in that case I have a 70ish Assassin that I've been playing lately.

That got both my hardcore paladins killed. If I didn't have nine hundred twenty three things on my plate at the moment, I would gladly be flaming it up on US West. |

I can't find my LOD CD's so I'll have to purchase it from Blizzard store. I feel like playing Sorceress this time, but Barbarian is too much love. Whirlwind |

I'd play, but I have to get my cd keys back from a friend... I let him borrow it, then he let his brother borrow it, and the brother lost his laptop with the play cd inside. The cd keys are on the case, correct?

I could have swore 1.10 patch put a cap on Zeal's Max number of attacks. It actually sucked balls when it happened... did they remove the cap in a later patch? |

I also reinstalled. Playing an assassin for the first time, pretty fun. But, uh, did they change something about loot drop rate in one of the patchs? In just getting to the first way point, I have gotten 4 yellow drops and a green drop. I'm pretty sure that never happened to me in the past.... Also, I thought something awful's take on the Diablo 3 whining was pretty good: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/diablo-hate-internet.php |
