I sold off my 29% Leoric's because running a DPS ring at a higher MP just makes more sense after the changes to exp rates and Demonic Essence drop rates.

I marked all my current auctions down to blowout prices. Hopefully some good drops will come when I'm farming recipes and Demonic's tomorrow.

3 suggestions (maybe not my top 3):

1. A blacksmith that has been raised to level 10 should be able to identify all the items in your bag on sight.

2. Health potions should be changed to "percentage" instead of a fixed amount.

3. All act end bosses should drop one rare item of at least level 61 that is class specific to your class, this item also has a chance to be a class specific legendary.

I've been watching the leader in paragon leveling and he's only picking up legendaries.

The unique build that he is running on the live stream allows him to keep up the "Wrath of the Berserker" buff for a continuous and unlimited amount of time. He accomplishes this by constantly fighting and gaining Fury, while burning off excess Fury with Rend. If he stops, or the run to the next monster pack is too long, the buff is lost and goes to cooldown.

Clearly the Guild Wars 2 team is using their server power to spam a "Denial of Service" attack on the Diablo system today.

I have been speed farming Act 2 with around 315mf (after 5 stacks). Through 4 Paragon levels, I barely got anything worth mentioning, then got an absolutely sick yellow named rare amulet that I sold for $110 into my Paypal after all the fees. All this talk of Legendary items, and a rare got me more money than anything I have sold.

I finally did get a Legendary wand, but it was just a level 59 that sold for 400k.

I used to play everyday with my brother, but he left and uninstalled the game over a month ago. His 2 complaints:

1. Never got upgrades from drops, even while farming Inferno acts 1 & 2.
2. Increased repair costs from patch 1.03 made him lose money by just playing the game in Act 3.

Now I can stop creating new characters just to sell their starting weapons for gold.

My prediction for the Witch Doctor class review... they buffed the damage numbers of under used skills and left everything else untouched.

Crazy, I know. I really went out on a limb with that prediction.

For 1.0.4, we're taking a good look at some of the most unpopular skills for each class, figuring out why they aren't being used in your builds, and then seeing how we can make them better -- either by redesigning how they work or just buffing the hell out of them.

So, in all the examples they give, the fix is just to buff the number values of under used skills. Don't get me wrong, I think this needed to be done, but it could have happened months ago in a simple tuesday patch. I kind of expected something new... maybe Cleave building stacks of a bleed on elites or something. Maybe when the patch notes are released we will see more redesigns and not just buffed values added to existing skills.

If we are discussing tweets, I was more excited by the announcement of another GW2 stress test tomorrow.

But yeah, more information on Diablo changes please....

Translation - "most of the team is working on the release patch for the WoW expansion right now because they helped us at launch, but next week we are going to give you some details of the Diablo 1.04 patch we are releasing in September".

I wonder if even the vendor will buy this?

This is what I kill shielded Act 3 champion packs for:

My brother and I both played the beta all weekend, was fun. We did questing, pvp, crafting, or just roaming and killing whatever we encountered. There is a lot of diversity and complicated detail to this game, it will keep me interested for months. Switching from a ranged weapon and skill set to dual melee weapons and skills with the touch of a button was so sweet. Nice to get item drops that you could immediately use too! I got drops that were upgrades while pvp'ing. I thought it was awesome that the designers were live streaming themselves pvp'ing, something that Blizzard still can't do months after their game was released.

Looking at Diablo 3 now, I can't find much interest in grinding champion packs for hours in the very slight chance that something valuable will drop, that I can sell to get the item I really want.

Blah blah blah!

Same company line, "All your issues will be addressed in some future patch at some unspecified time. Meanwhile, we can't talk about any specifics. We love you!"

Fanboys will recite this mantra ad nauseum for a few more months like good little soldiers. Meanwhile, forget about pvp in 2012.
