Quote from Sojourna
I read the official patch notes when patch 13 went live, so I knew there were a lot of nerfs, but I didn't realize just how big until now. The cynical part of me wonders if this is their way of trying to up the difficulty of Diablo III in all its levels and/or hurt PvE in the name of PvP.
+1.
looks like instead of tweaking difficulty they are just making it harder by nerfing, as if having abilities on CD wasn't enough . but that's another topic.

I'm not sure how to post my account but I'm on EU-servers (btag solostaran#2856 , a monk named crysania)
I was actaully looking for advice on what stats should I aim for in order to do ubers (now that I finally got enough keys) when I came across this post and this tool
nvm. here it is

all I wanted is to play the single player campaign . blizz forced everyone including single players to go online , oh well - but at least make it work!!!
people paid good money for it and have the right to play the game they bought which isn't "copy-paste the password"
I paid for that game but I do hope pirates WILL hack it for offline play and blizz would lose revenue . maybe this way they'll understand that since their games are going to be hacked either way the least they can do is ease on the legit players who only want to play in their free time .
I don't need people to teel me when I could or couldn't play . I'm not 6 years old so blizz - get your act together and make sure people do not stay out of the game they purchased!

try this one
http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=275
it's a 2-3 years one.
other than that I share your opinion . only achieves I don't like are those that make it mandatory to co-op or PvP to complete . individual ones are 100% fine by me because they indicate about your own PVE skills which for me is what this game is all about.

you can take care of your child while playing D3 late night . your wife , would either be asleep or to exausted from the day shift . profit .
I know , taking care of babies is alot of effort but unlike changing a woman's mind at least it has a chance of working :-)

I've decided to go with that build :
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#aZRUeS!bVX!YZcaYc
it's a lazy build with many passive dmg and dmg reduction and passive healing . basicaly it enables to bash for about 280% weapon dmg, 500% overpower and hammer og the ancients.
only offenssive CD is overpower and only spendor is hammer (not including battle rage+battle cry in idle).
hammer hitting for 414%-500% weapon dmg for merely 20 fury on a low fury consumption build is great. thanks for your help everyone.

I've noticed that battle rage (+15% dmg and 3# crit) has no CD . can anyone confirm/dispute it's stackable ? as in . if I'll use it twice in a row I'll gain 32.3% dmg and 6.09% to crit ? or does it stay at the initial values no matter how many times you punch it ?
also,
survivabilty wise , which one is better ? the +50% to armor and thorns or the +3% dmg done to life ?
one last question, what is the hardest hitting single target nuke for barbs and what is the reccommended one ?

1) post patch 15 (as mentioned in the unofficial notes) does sweeping wind now a SPENDOR instead of generator ?
2) based on same notes , can you activate SW right of the bat and use a mellee generator to refresh SW and build its stacks without the need to recast it ?
3) assuming the answer to the last question is yes and you decide to choose inner storm for the +spirit , does as long as you hit with a mellee generator you gain 9 (6 base for the generator and 3 for the inner storm rune) spirit ?
and one last question (not SW related) , does the game have health potions/rejuv and do they have a CD like WoW does ?
thanks for your info

I'm with you on that one . with the new system you are guarnteed to unlock all runes by 60 while the former method was a grindfest with an un known drop rate and heavy RNG.
people raging about that probably like long and tidious grinds - and should go farm legenderies at WoW . especially at the 10-m bracket .
on the other hand, dante is way cooler than nero .

also, I fear that unlike d2 , d3 won't be soloable and will require Co-op to complete on hardest difficulty. after 3 years of the WoW community I had enough "community" for a lifetime . same goes for achievments in d3 - make them as soloable as possible .
other than that I see nothing that could realy turn off my faith of passion about the upcoming game .

a few things you should do :
1) make sure to download the patch and run it before you run the game
2) make sure you run the game as administrator and probably in winXP sp2 mode
3) just to be safe run the video test to see you're good with graphic drivers for hardware accelaration and make sure DX requirements are good .
have fun

you're too harsh . silly posts re being made by people with keys as well :-)
good night everyone, grats for those who won, and a small prayer for a quick release dats for the rest of us .

no problem . I might have over reacted...I see so many drama on all channels (twitter,FB etc.) about those keys so I made an error of judgement . (plus , it's been a crappy day so any way - I'm sorry)
