Deltacod, here's a link to my current Monk build:

I can't believe they still have the "attackers take x damage per hit" modifier. It's on topaz for weapons, and it's on a ton of items I find. I'm not wrong to think it's TOTALLY worthless am I? Why didn't they learn from the last game?

edit: just had a Diablo 1 moment. Came across some Vampiric Molten guys near the beginning of act 3 NM, and they were those huge guys with dual clubs that would like 4 shot me, so I ran halfway across the map and came across stairs... the leader of the pack was too huge to go up the stairs so I fought him alone :D
and still died once even though it was just to him. jeez.

So I didn't know you could use more than one set of skill. Like use two primary, etc.

Using Fists of Thunder AND Hundred Fists (for the Zero Spirit Tele) is fun lol

O_o

I see no Delta here...

You okay there Gw?

Lol, I forgot who exactly it was that was talking, I just new they played CoD with me in the past. Regardless, here's my setup:

 

[rokimomi]

*sigh*...got hacked, naked character, anything special I should do other than change pw and get authenticator?

 

[Lovage]

i got haxed a week ago. lost all money, lost most gear (luckily they didnt take the lv 52 bow i stole off the AH for 6k)

took blizz 2 days to respond, they emailed me saying they performed the restoration. i logged in nothing changed. i email them back and another 2 days later they say they restored it again and again nothings changed, so i gave up on them

so i just borrowed 100k from a friend, got myself a decent set of gear from da AH and started grinding again

but yea, change your PW, get a mobile authenticator if you have a smartphone (its free pretty sure)

if blizz doesn't restore your **** within 1-2 days i'd say **** it and just start playing again

 

[Divinokage]

You guys must have clicked fishy links or watch too much pron or something..

 

[Lovage]

lol my acct had been compromised for years, i just never used it for **** besides sc2 and forgot to change my pw when diablo came out

 

[DallasPhat]

Oscar if you need gear I got a ton of DH gear that just sitting in my stash. Hit me up in game sometime and remind me to give it to you.

 

[Kal]

You guys must have clicked fishy links or watch too much pron or something..

Supposedly, there is an actual server-side issue that is allowing people to bypass the password and authenticator screen. Lovage's case was probably just a compromised account, however.

Lovage, you can get an authenticator for free if you have an Android phone or one of those fascist iPhones. It's a little irritating (though you only need to use it once in a while if you sign in from the same IP address each time), but the added security is pretty enormous.

 

[rokimomi]

Yeah, I'll just have to borrow a bit o gold I guess. I used diff passes and all this other crap though, so I dunno. I figure since you can only use 2 resets, its not worth it using one now while a buncha other people are having issues too.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

thats the theory but blizzard says its technically impossible to perform.

 

[Player-3]

just solo'd nightmare belial at level 44 in under a minute with this build

Also, this video is pretty amazing

Blizzard is full of ****. Everyone who knows anything about security systems knows that nothing is completely secure. It's just that Blizzard, in all its glorious omniscience, refuses to acknowledge any fault on their part, ever. They even go as far as to censor posts that speak badly about them on their forums.

 

[Wave⁂]

I saw a questionably legit video of some guy being hacked (his gear was disappearing without him touching it), according to him, you can get hacked just by playing with other random internet people who know bad things.

 

[DallasPhat]

GOD the wizard forum is freaking hilarious. Everyone QQing about Force Armor LMFAO. Wizards are still the best class. Even at 18k HP I'm making tremendous progress through ACT3 without corpse running. Hopefully I'll beat diablo in inferno by the end of the weekend (depends on if I want to do a legitimate clear lol).

 

[GwJ]

Anybody else rage immensely when they're killed by Arcane Sentries, Maniacs, or anything that spawns poison on the ground?

Because it sure as **** is getting to me.

 

[DallasPhat]

Only time I get upset is when I run into Mortar/Invulnerable Minions/Vortex/Fire-Chain.....like had it happen to me twice so far and decided it's the worst possible attributes combination.

 

[GwJ]

Fire-chains piss me the hell off too. Especially when they're Fire-Chain Arcane monsters. T_T

 

[What's The Point]

I figured the worst possible combo would be a Champion Pack of Mobli Infiltrators (That's not the name but it's close, the meteor guys from the end of Act 4) with Arcane-Enchanted Frozen Shield Teleport. Not sure about being the most difficult but the shear agony of trying to kill those guys would be mind blowing.

 

[O D I N]

Lol, I forgot who exactly it was that was talking, I just new they played CoD with me in the past. Regardless, here's my setup:

Was trying to figure out why you're doing more damage than me.

Then I realized you're DWing.

You should add me. We'll Monk it up.

Arcane Shielding Frozen Jailing Heralds of Pestilence

Seriously, **** Heralds of Pestilence

 

[GwJ]

Those are the ones that spawn poison on the ground right? If so, **** 'em. Even the regular ones kill me if enough come at me. I'm looking at you, Azmodin's army.

 

[Asdioh]

I just hate the stuff that make your character lose control. I don't remember much of that in previous diablo games, feel free to refresh my memory. But when you're constantly getting knocked away/feared/frozen etc, it's extremely frustrating.

 

[Hylian]

Nah the previous games mainly had immunes, no real hard cc like these ones. D3's mobs are a lot more fun(and frustrating at times) to fight than d2s in my opinion.

 

[Asdioh]

That's true. Immunities were a pretty awful idea, it made some encounters literally impossible depending on your class/spec :/

 

[Kal]

I liked immunities. The mobs with affixes in this game are mostly annoying and tedious to fight, rather than engaging and fun.

 

[Player-3]

the mobs with affixes in this game are only annoying because of wallers

 

[GwJ]

I don't mind wallers too much when that's their only ability. But when they're combined with something like plague, then it's just ridiculous.

 

[Hylian]

I liked immunities. The mobs with affixes in this game are mostly annoying and tedious to fight, rather than engaging and fun.

I don't see how it's possible to not like the affixes in this game and like immunities lol. They literally did nothing except make you use different spells or not fight the packs at all. The new affixes actually involve strategy and good micro, more so than anything in D2 did aside from PVP.

Gotta agree with Hylian here. Immunities in D2 were kind of lame. What's the fun in just switching up spells just to fight a mob? I like having to strategize and figuring out when to pop my defensive CDs. I also find kiting/bottlenecking enemies to be a bit more engaging because of that, too.

Massive stash bug, important read:

I was rearranging my stash, where I had the situation of 2 single slot items arranged in a 2x1 form (1 on top of the other taking up 2 slots total) and a 2 slot item on the left.

I moved one of the single slot items onto the 2 slot items (normally this swaps them) but since it can't, because a single slot item is also already there (there were 2 remember) the 2 slot item is deletes it seems.

I've confirmed this with every item I can think of and lost a bit of valuable stuff unfortunately

(anyone else confirm this? Do NOT try with stuff you dont want to lose)

For the record my stash was full, but I dont think it matters. They have a bug with the sort/replace system in inventory/stash.

 

[What's The Point]

It matters if the stash is full. I did that on accident once and thought I destroyed some gloves. I found them on the first page of my storage.

 

[Kal]

Basically, you just needed multiple damage types to bypass Hell in Diablo II. In this game, you need contrived kiting strategies. I also just find this game's affixes more annoying in general.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Its more fun to use strategy to beat enemies than needing to invest skill points into different elements just in case.

 

[Kal]

Yeah, if the strategies weren't totally contrived and artificially forced down your throat. An enemy that walls off, reflects damage, and has immune ads is annoying to fight. The added "depth" doesn't compensate for the fact that it's plain and simply not fun.

 

[Divinokage]

But you like all Melee stages? That sounds contradicting.. lol. There's as much BS to deal with weird stages than fighting bosses in diablo.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Yeah, if you don't think its fun, don't play. Personally, I find it fun to have to use strategy and such to overcome tough encounters
