it's not working atm

if it has natural socket than it's great for Sweep Attack Roland crusader.

The gems are there but no strings are added to them, they are just pixels. And as far as beta goes i have a feeling they will not be added with the Necro.

Both games has advantages and disadvantages. PoE is in great shape right now and will be insanely better with a huge 3.0 expansion (where all game difficulties are no more).

Necromancer, on the other hand will have people playin for maybe a week or two. Maybe a month to farm all ancient legendary gear and sets and that's all, it's exhausted. Diablo 3 cannot compete with any MMO atm because there is simply not enough content added. 1 reworked legendary in 3 months is not enough.

I dropped PoE about 2 years ago for the reasons stated above: shitty grapphics, awkward gameplay. But decided to return for current league and oh my gawd the game is so much better now. It's insane how it has improved over last 2 years. And leaderboards are just a small thing in PoE. there's racing events and such which happen during and between the leagues, plenty of stuff. Patches are daily. A lot of things to do. Do maps or farm cards or do prophecies or run in magic find gear or kill bosses. There's also 126 unique maps to explore lol. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX maps lol. I only cleared 56 for now and league ends in 2 weeks.

Both games are good, both games have pros and cons. But D3 is for people who want to grind and make leaderboards. More casuals are drawn to poe because of "diversity" and casuals make up the majority of the player base. D3 is a great game but needs a new face.

Strongly disagree in this point.
D3 now is left for stubborn botters mostly. Leaderboards are long time ruined by botting.
+ some casuals who started playing seasons on console.
Most old competetitive players long time left to PoE, WOW and other games. Look at Alkaizer, Quin, Datmodz, Kripp, Empyrian, wudijo, Chainer. Some might be back (me including) when Necro comes out, but not for long.
PoE is not for casuals at all, casual will understand nothing there, the learning curve is waaay to complex. Of cause you can click your way through mercy but you know It takes a while to learn everything.

I also really like the XP penalty in PoE. You actually need to watch your step and think twice before entering high level maps and some bosses. In D3 it's just straighforwards = you either fish for density or a boss. You die and resurrect and go on. In PoE if you die near end game you can lose a half day worth of XP.

There's a lot of diversity in this game right now. I can name dozens of completely different builds. But

1) most of these builds has no visibility, because top players and streamers do not care about obscure non-meta builds. And for a casual gamer it's pretty hard to find a non-meta build at all.

2) not many people care about any builds at all. They just try to copy rank 1 build and that's it.

but...but... look at all the shiny portraits!! lul.

1) stack more cdr

2) use diamond in helm

3) use resource cost reduction

4) use fast primary skills like punish or slash

Overall i recommend stacking as much thorns as possible on yellow gear and follow classic invoker build:

I did up to chapter 4 in all yellows.

Where is "not playing"?

Dammit, Demonmonger, you have to be so positive?

I really hope Crusader gets some love this patch. It's a mess.

Diablo 1 in 3d, but you can only move in 8 directions. lol whos gonna play that. they have wasted their time unfortunately

I imagine the sun rising is an indicator to some folks that something big is coming at Blizzcon.

I guess if the game is going into maintenance and there is going to be no new content, you may as well do 2 month seasons instead of 3 month seasons. Paragon grinding for 2 months sounds way better than paragon grinding for 3 months. Lets face it, anyone who isn't paragon grinding is probably doing 2 week or less seasons anyway.

Just how many times can someone create one of 6 classes, to get a new portrait and a pet?

Yawn.

LoL I always forget we have so many people with so much game developing experience here on DFans... so much knowledge ... Whoa

I still don't understand how can people react in such way. Are you that blind that you can't see all the hints and information we have that Blizzard is really doing something for the Diablo franchise. Something new is happening on BlizzCon for Diablo, not old or what else, but something new. Its so obvious it hurts me when I see people that just refuse to believe that. Especially when I know that those people were ones emotionally attached to the first two Diablo series. Show some hope guys.
