However you justify it how can you say it is not broken when regardless of the fact that they are rolling lower Ilvl than before, the 1handers are not rolling lower damage than before. On the contrary in 2.0 I'm seeing higher dps on 1handers than ever before and on 2handers I see lower damage than most of the 1handers. Atleast when it comes to comparing Legendary drops.
If one is not going to buy the expansion pack then that person has to suffer a broken gear system? it's not as if the AH is still there for them to be able to buy a decent 2hand weapon from pre 2.0! This should be fixed.
I thought the AH was fine, I didn't use it much but I liked having it there and knowing I could use it if I needed. The people who hated it often claimed to be the ones who didn't use it, but if they didn't use it why do they hate it? It was very easy to ignore as if it didn't exist. People called the RMAH pay to win, but D2 was no different and that didn't do so bad, only difference in D2 was that the pay to win gear came from third party websites.
Diablo isn't really a "win" type of game, it's not like Warcraft where there is a pve progression race, with very difficult progression path and guild/player ranking, Diablo is a non competitive/casual hack n slash co-op game.
Crit chance combined with crit damage is the typical way. Usually meaning you need a weapon with crit damage and/or a socket. It really does make a monstrous difference. Also look for % physical on wrists (or other element if you're using non physical damage build), which can also be found on necks and helmets.
Really though, with 5 days until the expansion it's not worth going too crazy with it.
I never thought of the barb as being weak this patch, I use a different spec to others too. Rend, Ground Stomp and Charge spam spec for me. Lots of control, lots of self healing, lots of mobility and lots of damage! Removal of life steal % will have a nasty effect on survival though.
Whoa you made the effort to post this thread on multiple forums. If D3 didn't have AH at launch with the loot and game difficulty as it was then the lack of AH would have destroyed D3.
Here's the part you missed though, the AH did not destroy D3, it destroyed D3 for you. What destroys the game for me is the fact that they abandoned the awesome Arena, that after 2 years we have no real pvp, no progression, no ladders and painfully slow development compared to competitors (POE). You know, the gameplay parts... not the bit on the side that can be completely ignored that helped you buy/sell gear and materials.
It's amusing when someone makes the assumption that because they have an opinion that it makes that opinion universally correct.
