Now that's what you call an in-depth guide, thanks for the good read Wudijo! I know that monk is this patch's flavor, but every now and then i try to push my old N6, is the hell trapper really a game changing off hand? because sadly, i salvaged two ancient hell trappers. haha!
Edit: And also, is Pauldrons of the Skeleton King better? Because i'm currently using an ancient profane pauldrons and i have a non-ancient Pauldrons of Skeleton King, does the affix of PSK proc a lot?
Honestly, I'm happy with 2.3 right now, i don't play seasons because i don't have that much excessive time to burn on it so i play Non-Seasonal, I only bought RoS midway through 2.2, and played Vanilla campaign repeatedly. When i got RoS, i was happy with it, 2.2 was ok, 2.3 is a lot better. To me, the only problem right now is the lag issues, and 2.3 basically killed Wizards, Hunters & Crusaders for group play, it forced me to create a zdps barb, whereas i never played barb before, but i'm ok with it because i learned to play a new class. With the paragon levels, yeah it's not as good as it could be, but other people have the time to invest on it, I'm happy that i already reached P915+, 1st time that i got into the solo top 500, yeah you could say i'm a casual player, I'm just happy with playing the current meta right now. I also played Diablo 2 when i was a kid, and to be honest i like Diablo 3 a lot more.
No offense, if you say Diablo 3 is better then D2?? then you sir have no standards when it comes to video games.. D2 is far more better then D3 with content obviously not graphic wise.. but when it comes to content d2 still takes the crown. They should of just remade D2 with D3 graphics! i bet you they would have a shit ton of people buying the game... i bet you if they did that, it would outsell any game they've made. D3 is fun dont get me wrong but it just seems like the devs got lazy.. i mean whats with the damage... hitting 12bil.. thats stupid.. Announcing PvP in the beta but then taking it out and just putting brawling in is stupid i mean it would be great if they actually fixed the damage. i still play D2 to this day.. I mean they have so much content to work with and they generate d3 they way they did?? just seems like they hired lazy devs. or had a bad project manager...
Maybe i just wasn't a hardcore D2 lover like some other gamers are, If they made a D2 with D3 graphics how would they attract new players? And you cannot assume that a remastered D2 would outsell other Blizzard titles, especially WoW. And also, the Diablo series graphics isn't what you could call a Highend game graphics, Diablo series doesn't rely on being graphically beautiful like some other games do, they rely on the story & game play itself. I get that your nostalgic about D2, but D3 is a success of it's own.

The game is unplayable again, yesterday i didn't have any problems with latency at all. Latency problems started today, My internet speed is fine and I also use a wired connection, only D3 is having latency problems. I play in SEA region, i did the tracer route again.

But in the end, just as we say at our job, don't look to other people but look at what you can do yourself. Play the game because you like it, play it the way you want it but don't go and compare yourself with those "pro" gamers that do nothing but play D3 you'll only get depressed.
I honestly still find the game enjoyable even if i only play non-seasons, play the way you want to play.
I'm currently playing on the asian server, 2 days ago everything was fine. Then yesterday when i played, my average latency was 1500k+ ms and now its 2900ms, im not sure whats going on. i tried to do the tracer route and this is what appeared.

This is the first time i experienced this since i started playing a year and a half ago. And I'm also using a wired connection, you tube streams just fine but when i try D3, it's unplayable.
I'm a Non-Seasonal player, I'm at P825 at the moment, and i still haven't gotten an ancient furnace ever, i'm also trying to use kanai's cube for the gavel of judgement, and so far no luck on an ancient one.
Oh wow, i thought i was the only one having crazy lag spikes yesterday. I'm playing on the Asian server and yesterdays latency was just unplayable at all. 1k+ ms even in town, usually i just get crazy lag starting on 4 man GR 70 runs in a stacked rift, but yesterday was on a different level.
