Apr 20, 2013agadabagada posted a message on WotB and Archon to Receive Changes, Act IV Density to be Buffed, What's Your Favorite Shrine?, Wizard Arcane Torrent Buildthe reason these archon/zerk builds are so viable atm is because we are no longer scraping to progress through the game wehre other runes were viable. The current state of the game is taht 99% of people are looking to farm most effeciently, therefore any buff with longevity is being usedPosted in: News

Apr 19, 2013agadabagada posted a message on WotB and Archon to Receive Changes, Act IV Density to be Buffed, What's Your Favorite Shrine?, Wizard Arcane Torrent Builderrr while i agree with most of what has been said by travis and above... perma zerk already requires exceptionally specific and good gear to maintain. for ww build, you need very high crit chance and potentially move speed + control of your char and tornados + movespeed + attackspeed. The end result is a gear and skill build that allows 1 skill to be viable. For the HotA build, it requires much of the same as previously listed, but MUCH more ephasis on each (more gear dependent). I think the nerf ww build got was fine. maybe a tad more nerf but not much. The idea of perma zerk shouldnt be looked down on if its highly gear dependent and requires a bit of skill to pull off.Posted in: News
for archon, its only effective for farming things your out gearing and highly dense areas (i know we are getting a density buff so i shouldnt say much on it)
just my thoughts -
Dec 9, 2009agadabagada posted a message on Location similarities in Diablo II and IIIbringing us back to a few key locations wouldnt always be a bad thing. It could help the lore in that it brings us back to story we last lived (transition, recolection). It could also be fun if they use it right. Id personally like 1 or 2 flashbacks to previous events that have happened. I dont feel that this should be happeneing at the end of the game however. The first act or two would be the most optimal.Posted in: News
We already have tristrem so thats good, but i think if they dropped us into a 2nd place, thatd be nice. Arret summet has been thrown out in one of these threads, but cant really as it is now a crater. maybe just a flash back during a convo with cain? an actual flashback where ur at a birds eye view watching fallen raid a city. Or, while going through the game, you can see a similar place from the vilage ur in. we dont have to be directly in the past event/place, but seeing it or being apart of it will have some effect on u.
As for this thread, we will not be living d2 out again. They have made it quite evident that this is not d2 with new eye candy, it is a new game, more lore, new mechanics. I personally feel, other than tristrem, there will be little BIG impact from other cities or previous events. just hope some is brought back to help bridge the connection -

Nov 19, 2009agadabagada posted a message on Another Patch Promise, Will it Prove Itself?answering ur q, Heros of New Earth (if you didnt know, not belittling) and savage 2 are pretty sick games. i prefer over torchlight.Posted in: News
imo, with all these patches and games coming out, bliz is spinning thier wheels a little TOOO fast for thier own good.
sc2 (the many), wow expansions, D3, new mmo, d2 patch, wc3 patch, delay, delay.
they are stretched a little tooo thin to be able to provide thier usual unsurpased quality at this quantity. if they sit on thier quality over quantity method, more delays, more people pissed, the such.
in short, if it comes any time soon, IT WILL SUCK. if it comes in a year-ish. it will be true bliz. -
Nov 19, 2009agadabagada posted a message on Another Patch Promise, Will it Prove Itself?hon and savage 2 are both legit games, a little more than torchlight imo.Posted in: News
a little mix in games
have my mele fighter, dota-ness, and diablo refresh-ish which i can playon my laptop :).
only reason im on so much right now is cuz im doin a law brief and its less fun than ud think haha. but i finished so ill be off soon :P. -
Nov 19, 2009agadabagada posted a message on Another Patch Promise, Will it Prove Itself?rly? their patching wc3? wow. been a while hasnt it? idk. out of the wc3 loop. hon's had be busy, with savage 2 and torchlight a lil. :P.Posted in: News
as cool as it may be to get a wc3 patch, y do they get precedence over d2 when ours was annonced wayyyy b4?
arg blizzard. -
Nov 19, 2009agadabagada posted a message on More Hopes Dashed, 1.13 Delay Going Strongagree and disagree. full hd d2 would be sick. id chuck my comp out of my room and hook up to the tv for that.Posted in: News
for torchlight, i disagree. i love the game, so their mgiht be some bias, but i prefer 3d. imo, 2d is almost gone. ur right, however, about the "wow-ish" graphics. it doesnt capture me. like, the game is pretty well paced, doin a lot of stuff at once, and stuff, but its wierd. something about it isnt 2d. 2d has me imediatly. cant drop it. torchlight, its like on the cusp. idk y. and they did steal a lot from d3. this could, however, be wat was in the original d3, not the current one.
food for thought. thats my opinion on torchlight, graphics, and the such.
im clueless on the d2 patch. i would chuckle if they just released a patch that actually did nothing. "hey joe, we need a patch out next week or we get fired" "ok, send a 1 kb file" "sweet, sounds good". before you know it, you have a blizz file with "hahaha" writen on it, thats it.
would be hilarious... then the pitchforks. -
Nov 19, 2009agadabagada posted a message on More Hopes Dashed, 1.13 Delay Going Strongim agreeing with u all here. throw a dog a bone and hell be happy. WHERES THE DAMN BONE?Posted in: News
its all psychological. we are, in a way, trained. Give a rat a pellet for pushing the button. then again, then again. after a while, u give a pellet every 2 times, then 3, then 4, then once in a while. make it random. before you know it, the damn rat is psychotic and has carpol tunnel before it gets half a pellet.
right now, the blizzard grasp is loosinging on us. I know this totally sounds like bs, and i know we arnt trained, but go with it. Connect how it works to how we stand.
we were addicted through there games. we got spammed by vids early on and news. now, once in a blue moon we get something. the news is the pellet, and blizzard is the biznatch lol.
people have been saying it, we are run thin, patience is gone. Bliz really needs to rethink this strategy of thiers. i mean, they can be gerks about it cuz we will all be buying the game, but its best to keep a postive, happy fan club.
imo, being a narcisitic asshole, move all the wow pple to diablo 3 for a MONTH. think of the stuff that can get done. pump this game out in the next 6 months, and have it ready for summer. what more could a company want than to destroy a million plus peoples summers?
we arnt sheep blizzard, we have gone through hell twice, can we get a little pat on the back? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

anyways, yes, crits on rend are massive for not only damage but heals. It is quite blatant, however, in the vid, he just spams it....

budget build is like a total of 2 mill or something like that. have you ever checked previous budget builds posted on dfans before?
it may have taken 10 min, but it could have taken u 6 min
also, ww+sprint tornados genrally kills white trash just by mowing past em, and if it doesnt, it will give u more fury back than what u had before, allowing a perma sprint/ww through more mobs
and again, rend doesnt stack. stop recasting it
0
1. budget does not mean 1-5 mill per piece. thats a decently funded barb
2. rend does not stack, it only re applies
3. kill whites for mass exp/legendaries
4. core of areat>tower of the damned results in 2-6 stacks, usually 4-5 and they are fast and direct. Running the keeps is too slow
5. for ww id recomdend running bezerk thrive on chaos if its taking you this long to kill stuff

How in the hell do you deal with reflect damage mobs? (end shouting)
with only 3% lifesteal, i just dont see how its possible O_O?

for me, i dont see how your having any problems with yoru gear/dps.
66k dps unbuffed lets me solo mp5 like a breeze. the only things i die to is those damn bird bat beast things in act 3.
I run the ww spec with rend bl isntead of warcry/opca and weapon throw mighty throw instead of bash. I have -4 wpcr on my belt and i run the weapon throw passive so it returns a shton of fury. also, the single target is huge and lets me sit back on nastier single target elites.
my recomendation is this (purely based off of personal experience):
1. get enough EHP to not get instantly gibbed
2. get lifesteal. I have 3 on belt and 3 on offhand dagger
3. get some serious freaking dps!!!!!!!!! - your dps not only defines fast you can kill things, but also determines your survivability paired with lifesteal. I did mp10 today with only 66k dps on my barb, but i had just enough ehp/ls/dps to face tank elites for 20 minutes XD (the moment i made that testing/fuckign around game.... 3 pple joined my game who were at 30-40k dps and were on the ground half the time). So. moral of hte story, get a bit tanky, slap on some LS, and rock the fck out of dps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11one!!!!one!2

some ideas:
got my IK belt for 22mill. could go cheaper, but i really wanted weapon throw fury reduct to mess around with builds in party play XD
vile ward for 6 mill
pants 3 mill
IMO lacuni suck. U loose so many stats for ias and ms. MS is great but if u want to kill stuff faster and keep zerk up longer, 6cc will do u much more. If u want the MS back, get a tyrials might chest piece which also gives a good amount of deamon + damage

I used to be an avid ww barb until bl2/tl2/xcom came out. I am now returning after a 2month breakish, and am thoroughly enjoying the changes made. The drop rates, mp^x, and overall buffs/nerfs minus the reduced cost of ww. Fuck that rapes us ww barbs.... makes keeping zerk up annoying... Tbh, i hope they either 1. make Attack Speed affect ww cost rate more like it used to be or, 2. make ww cost 12 at least.
Anyways, I am here to see what you guys think my next upgrade should be. I just dumped 40mil into my belt/pants/shoulders and think i got out with a lot more than 40mill should have gotten me.
the lacunis were cheap and more of a test to see how much the 12ms would do for me. TBH, idk how much its actually doing and would like to get peoples opinions on it all.
I have been farming mp3 with excessive ease before upgrading from 35k>48k dps, 6ls>9ls, 4.6k armor>4.9k armor, 660res all>770ish res all. i was previously able to do mp5 but would die to the ocasional flyingbat/beast/bird things in a3 and also sucubi...
Where should i be headed with my stats? What should i focus on? What do i have too little of?
thanks
almost forgot this: http://us.battle.net...14/hero/6471308
And im really f-ing proud of my MH that dropped for me today. I will not change it for anything

also, 2h weps are good for wiz with the aracne orb or archon (6% lifesteal is kinda huge in archon)
the thing is, those 2 classes DONT have mechanics working agasint 2h weps or DW weps, (wiz cant dw)

Anyways, i was trying out my dh today, dropped a couple mill into her, and took her for a whirl jsut to test mechanics and stuff. From what i found is that ALMOST EVERY MECHANIC the dh has encourages "front loaded" damage and slow high damage weps.
1. hatred regen so you have full fury every fight encourages bursting things down
2. shitty hatred regen skills (HA is good for single target but the regen of all the skills is absolute trash. even with dw 2aps, it takes about 2.5 years to get back tofull hatred
2.5. grenade + explosive passive+tinkering gives 8 hatred regen which is just enough imo for a dw build but even bliz said, grenades suck.
3. no skill is spammable unless u have chacram -5 on ur chest.... even then.... its rough and chacram sucks
4. blizzards "signature" dh skill revolves 100% around a 2h xbow (rain of vengance)
there are more than just this, but i just cant find a way to make dw work other than being over geared to the T.
this is most definetly a rant post but id like other pples opinions on dw dh's othe than "hey my gears godly with 200k dps unbuffed and can 1shot everything. Because if you can do that, a 2h xbow will do the exact same.

instead of slowing my movespeed, it keept it at 100% or increased it without a rune
cost less hatred
hit all enemys every shit rathr than just some pitiful single target thing
or, return the amazons strafe thing. that rocked
