It doesn't have to be the way that it is, this game could have been a lot better if activisonblizzard were more focused on game play decisions than making money and in the long run make more money. Instead of catering to the casuals, them telling us how to have fun and insulting our intelligence. Itemization is one step along with hiring people to test future games that are not retarded. Force armor and smoke screen would not have been a problem if they addressed it before the game launched. Every day I play Diablo 3 I feel as if we are beta testing.
I wish they would take their itemization more seriously, I found a nats hand xbow with 144 str on it. I understand the reasons and view points of random is random; however, what I don't understand is class items having worthless stats on them. I know I am not alone on this. When there is an item that only a class can use like hand xbows I don't want to see such a garbage stat no matter how much armor that 144 str gives (144 armor lawl) that armor will not do you any good.
What needs to happen fast is a quick fix to itemization in terms of class items. How would you make such a change? Easy. Remove the str affix from hand xbows (for example) because with the removal of that affix there will still be plenty of other garbage stats that will benefit you more like the insanely nerfed life steal in inferno or Int, I'd take Int over str any day because of the resistances int can provide.
The way Derpy handles those affixes is simple, using the passive Tactical Advantage to get distance and using either nether tentacles, frost arrow or ball lighting rune on elemental arrow.
I've been somewhat following this thread and I don't think anyone has really thought the life leach part about NT. The life leach is just another word for life steal which blizzard commented on and said in each difficulty its reduced in its effectiveness, not to mention that its already as low as it currently is, you have to do something on the lines of 250k+ damage for it to be remotely good.
On to more important things though, I've been using both ball lightning and frost arrow since the over zealous nerf to nether tentacles and I've not settled on either one yet because they both behave like nether tentacles did hitting multiple targets with the exception of the life leach. They should have brought nether tentacles in line with those two abilities by letting 1 ball hit one target 2 times instead of 1 ball hitting one target 4 or what 6 times depending on the size of the monsters hit box (nether tentacles was retarded on the butcher!).
I feel like we are beta testing the game right now..........
edit: I got worried when my computer started making grinding noises but it turned out to be a cooling fan, I need to clean my pc!
Honestly speaking though I feel that using either of the three runes listed (NT, FA,BL) will come down to what graphic effects you like to see. I liked frost arrow because it was 170% dmg, it is a fast projectile and still able to hit the main monster with invulnerable minions.
WoW isn't that fun if you've play'd the game as long as I have. Ever since the end of BC and the release of WOTLK it's been going down hill, parden the language but a retard could play the game. I was going to move on to Tera after I was playing the betas but I can't since Diablo 3 is comming.
Hello! I've been lurking for way too long, I decided it was time to make an account with Diablo 3 just around the corner.
A little about me: Diablo 2 vet, recovering wow crack addict (was playing since March 2005) haven't play'd that worthless game for 2 months, oh yeah I can count to Muffin!
