I'm sorry but i stopped reading at "not using unity". If you want to get the maximum out of solo play you must use unity in my opinion. I really don't see how anyone could complain when they are not even fully utilizing what the game has to offer. It's like me not using bombardier's rucksack or something... It's just not viable, period.
Hey man I totally understand your point. it's just a personal decision at this time. I intend to give the unity thing a try though just too see if it really makes that huge of a difference. Thanks for your comments.
50% less dmg, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'll notice a 'huge difference'
when you upgrade a gem the game gives you a list of the legendary gems you posses, those in your stash, inventory and already socketed in items, to choose which to upgrade I believe.
Since you also seem to be a forum newb you should upgrade your keyboard skills to learn Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V the link to your profile rather than screen capping each piece of gear individually and not even bother cropping them into a single image.
I see where you confusion comes from, its worded really terribly, when you have a follower at max level you already have access to all thier skills, so how does this relic give you even more access to the skill set then what you already have?
What it should really say is "Enables all follower skills" cause thats what it really does it lets your follower use every skill they haver rather then you speccing them.
"people stacking elemental and elite%", AKA everyone.
Im no math wizard but I fail to see anything thats complicating the situation here. 2handers get buffed 23-36% minus heavenly str penalty of 20% leaves crusaders with a the small buff of 3-16%. How will this hurt crusaders?
I think you have to look at ladders place in a larger perspective, ultimately what blizz wants is for people to enjoy the game and play for as long as possible so they can develop expansions and get some of your money again. The advantage D2 had that you where forced into rerolling to try a new 'spec' within a class. Granted the time spent on levelling a new character was mitigated a fair amount by power levelling but regardless it was still a time sink to try a new spec. D3 doesn't have this, there is no reason to play any class more than once since changing your spec can be done in seconds and with no cost.
The return of ladders will have a decent amount of people returning to the game to re roll new characters to take take part in that system simply for the experience itself. But there will still be a lot of people not interested in ladders or re rolling and will continue to play the characters they already have, which is fine, but I think there is still one demographic of players left. Which are the people who arn't interested in playing the characters they already have, and just the inclusion of a ladder system in and of itself won't be enough to bring them back to the game. I am in this subset, Add ladder only legendary's and it creates a place for blizzard to try out new items and ideas without having to be absolutely petrified about messing up the balance since the ladders have resets. Doing this incentives more people to come back to play for longer while they work on the next expansion. I wouldn't plan to come back unless there where more incentives within the ladder system to bring me back, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I also doubt blizzard would be structuring it this way without a fair amount or research into the concept.
This does shift the focus of the game to ladders especially with the inclusion of new items that can only be found there, and like in all other games that are structured like this, the normal mode of the game becomes a joke in the eyes of the people who enjoy ladder. I say play the way you find the most fun, if you consider the newest items to be the most important thing to you but don't like ladders or rerolling then you either change your priorities, or suck it up and do what you have to do to get the newest lootz.
How else do you plan to incentivespeople to play ladder? exclusive loot and leader boards, you have better suggestions I think we would love to hear them.
Just like politicians they answer a question that wasn't asked dodging the actual concern. Ninja nerfs and fixes happen all the time and they just deny deny deny.
