Let's call it 'Theorycraft Thursday' but not actually be about any theorycrafting.
Theorycrafting is the act of creating a build or circumstances that work in THEORY. i,e; they haven't been fully tested yet but in theory they work. This is not that, it's the opposite of that - it's Practibuilding Thursday really.
For instance I have a ZDPS Monk that is solely designed for T6 groups with glass cannons that will keep them alive at all times, while also debuffing enemies. I don't have all the BiS gear for it (Heck, I'm still waiting for Aughild's plan to drop) so this works in THEORY. I've crunched the numbers, have some impressive calculations, but all in all that's about it. I can't submit my build because it requires me to show in game screenshots of a character that simply doesn't exist yet.

The fastest class for this is monk, as it can directly leap up and down the area just above the hermit. You have to use some trial and error to figure it out, but it's much faster than sprinting up the stairs.Posted in: News

I'm glad they didn't do the buff to caltrops damage like they were intending in the leaked notes, it would have been a huge buff to damage, especially since it white crits and doesn't reset sharpshooter. -
Aug 19, 2012BaneWilliams posted a message on Unofficial Patch 1.0.4 Changes - Class changes, New Items, Affixes and More!!There is a huge DH buff hidden in there, because Blizz still aren't aware that there are some abilities that don't count as 'hits' for dropping sharpshooter. Fingers crossed that this is fixed in the patch also, but if not my DH will become about 6-7x more effective than current.Posted in: News

Because people would just wait till 1 mob left, tp to town, swap gear, go back to fight.
Produces more problems than the cooldown option. -
Jul 3, 2012BaneWilliams posted a message on Magic Find Gear Swapping and RMAH Commodities Coming Soon, Gold Not Included InitiallyI actually said this from the beginning of Beta, but I will say it again, not that Blizzard will ever read this statement, and even if they do it is FAR too late to interact with it:Posted in: News
REMOVE MF/GF ON GEAR FROM THE GAME.
All players get Nephalem Valor right from the start of the game. there is no cap to Nephalem Valor, and Nephalem Valor persists between acts (letting players start at Act 1 and go through as far as they can handle for the most efficiency). Anything above 5 stacks acts like it does now.
Pity it's too late to implement this solution. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

I'd say just wait it out until the new rates are in:http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/10219142187?page=6#103

Edit: After you've figured out his attack patterns, die to him intentionally, leave game and make new on higher difficulty.

Notice how many of the things he's searching for have precisely 1 thing with those stats in his price range. That is really telling. This isn't gear you are going to get your hands on easily.
Question OP, are you on EU? That would explain some things, because seriously - Doing a search for anything he posts gives me completely different results. Like his Ammy page starts at 100k, mine? http://imgur.com/xsaqo

This is something that will seriously impact botters, in multiple ways:
Firstly, blizzard had difficulty detecting some bots as they were no longer gaining XP from most things, so they couldn't easily analyze funny XP gains, or extended ones. This fixes that system, at least temporarily.
When a bot gets banned at the moment it is a 9 hour process (non legit) and a 15 hour process manually to get that bot up to level. Presently they will still be there and having to buy MF and GF gear, but when that gear gets removed.... the best bots in the game will perform worse than players who have manually levelled to that max or close to it.
Also, this means that if someone bots on a max level character, they are running the risk of losing more than $50 + 12ish hours of downtime, they are losing a month long time investment, probably more. I think that this is an amazing step on Blizzards behalf, and one of the first things they have done that will actually penalize botters and goldfarmers/spammers alike. (I said the Gold aspect of the RMAH would do nothing to botters or goldspammers due to Blizzards stupid cap, and lo and behold...)
I am concerned about one thing though. If they want to make MF and GF not exist on items, why does it exist on some of the legendaries they are patching into the game? Wouldn't it make more sense to remove the affix and suffix entirely from freshly rolled legendaries?

I believe we'll be seeing an endless dungeon at some point, be prepared

This.
I sent Blizzard emails, made posts, EVEN WROTE AN ARTICLE about why MF/GF shouldn't be on gear, or even in the game at all (unless in a system like this). They didn't listen.
Now it makes sense to them, about damn time.

Me also, I don't mind an MF cap, but if it could kindly be around the same level I could get pre-MF cap, that would be ideal.
It doesn't state, but I assume shrine MF also goes above cap.
Also, I guess MF gems in helm are pointless now, so everyone will be running more life than before.

This.
I'm banking on said Legacy's being worth a lot years and years down the line to the right kinds of people.

Firstly, they're going to get hit by an Authenticator dialogue every time they try to login, and they can't beat it. EDIT: and if they do I get my account rolled back, ohnoes.
Secondly, if my account gets hacked even though it's Authenticator locked I'll just write another article and get blacklisted from Activision/Blizzard junkets for another year.
