Got to level 24 last night. Just started Act 3. I died once on the Belial fight. Till I figured out that you cant just stand there and play whack a mole. Bastered one shotted me. I think that it would have been much easier with a ranged class.

Loving the story line so far. I think it is safe to say that this game has exceeded my expectations...

How about we start a list of the DAMAGE and HP?

Level 33 Wizard
Damage: 780 without buff / 1000 with damage buff
HP: 2200

 

^^ How is a wiz that level?

I started leveling one with a friend and kept thinking that it has to get better because early on the dmg is horrible.

So bad so that I don't think I am going to continue with her, and I re-rolled a DH to play with my friend.

 

Hmmm it's totally fine now that I got some cool gears with intel + vital stats. And dmg-wise... wizards are actually VERY good. You just gotta be smart with kiting as they are comparatively fragile than monks or barbs. You can't just stand and spam the skills.

You can pump up the damage by like 30% or something if you use "magic weapon" and "glass cannon" skills. That's huge in the end.

 

I'm on Inferno now lvl 60 with 20k damage. I'm trying to find a good bow so I can get 30kish.

I do a lot of dmg, but die with 1 or 2 hits minus my invis/invulnerability.

 

I heard you get 1-2 shotted whatever we do. LOL

 

Just got my first legendary loot.

It's this one.

Totally useless to me and in general, but I'm gonna keep it as a gift to myself.

 

getting powereleveld by a 60.. 47 wiz doing 2119 with magic weapon buff. this power leveling isnt letting me get good gear. It should go up more with appropriate gear for my level.

made 70k in about half an hour or so doing this. Real money ah will never work unles d3 gold inflation is kept in check

 

can you get a picture of your gears? just curious what you ended up with as a lvl 60.

 

Playing a new game as a Monk. I like it.

 

My wife plays a monk. It hits freaking FAST. They just naturally hit fast, so can't wait to get some IAS gears on her. Her monk is lvl 32 and does around 900 dmg with this legendary staff that i bought at AH for like 10k gold.

 

Wow, thats cheap. I have over 110k gold so its time to start shopping.

 

It's my fav. by far.. Maybe it is because of the speed or maybe it is because of how OP it is. I got the "You killed 8 mobs with 1 shot" mini-achievment the other day.

 

I can't find cheap items on AH

 

Anyone got spare DH items for me

 

For some reason, I can't print screen ingame? Anyone know a way around it?

I have a 500 dmg bow with some dex and full items with 100+ dex.

I also have a lot of bows if you guys want any, but they have a lvl requirement (40+).

My tag is Champ#1828

And you guys know about elective mode right? Where you guys can put any skill on any slot and can use any skill (once you lvl them)?

If you don't, get in a game, options, gameplay, then elective mode. Now set up your skills and you should see arrows where you can setup different skills on different tabs.

 

do DH take a lot more damage or something? even with vit gear on I get the PISS knocked out of me.

 

I agree DH got sorry ass defense

 

Champ I need some gears

 

yeah I can't get hit by ANYTHING or I die.

 

Well DH will always be weak, but have the most damage (or close 2 it minus a mage). That is why the DH has invulnerability that knocks off crowd-effects (CC) and invisibility.

 

I now have 2 lvl 48s
and my other loads of chars are from 1-20

battle tag = J32#1270

how t o change your "name" on battle.net account

 

Dude - some of you guys are on some insane levels - I'm at 22 DH - Did some multi-play with DIZ - for as long as I could before I got pulled away.

There are some crazy stuff on the AH - I wonder how some people find that stuff - maybe they find it when they're level 60 - and a epic lvl 20 bow sucks for them...

 

Edit - Oh - I get it now - freaking awesome!

 

I had to find out about that elective mode because my wife insisted me to put the attack skills into 1-2 and defensive skills into 3-4........ she doesn't know what the skills really does. It's just attack or defense skills to her.

I have to change the skills every time she levels up.

 

anybody see this place yet?


followed a level 60 into it. Them unicorns are deadly. you NEED a 60 with you.

and elective mode ftw. went and bought the highest dps weapon (given my level) i could find in AH with the money i got...cost me 50k lol. but now i do over 4k with my magic weapon buff.

and the wizards meteor attack is so OP. the DH i randomly joined in a pub was in awe. I then proceeded to solo the siege beast in act 3 nightmare + 1 party member (accidentally ignored the DH's decline).

 

Cow level is easy.

 

I'm lvl 38 with my wizard now. It's pretty damn fragile... any tips from you high level wizards? How do you survive?

I use force weapon/venom hydra/obliterate arcane orb/mirror image/electrocute/diamond skin with glass canon/arcane something/forgot the last one.

With buff, I do about 1.4k damage. Life is around 2.5k and armor is like 850. I need some better armors though.

 

Im 55 on my DH now...my gear sucks and I die a lot lol. Working my way through Hell with some friends currently in Act II. I dunno my exact numbers they change by the hour it seems. I think I am at like 12k HP and 7k dps.

Having issues with my video card though, it just started blue screening over the weekend. I thought it was drivers but I have tried 4 different drivers. Now I think it is overheating, started monitoring temps and its getting really hot like 90*+. I don't think it is used to this kind of stress lol. Its a GTX 460 Superclocked edition. Just downloaded evga precision so I can monitor/tweak this thing and hopefully not get any more BSODs while playin D3

 

Gear is becoming real important now... barely got to act I of Hell (just hit 50) and I can see how resistances are annoying. Can imagine those stupid wasps in Act II will be fun.

IMO this game is a bit skewed against melee classes. I know it's only a week old but typically the hardest hitting spells from non-bosses are the super-slow attacks but it's impossible to dodge/predict them at melee range. When I get to those mobs that send out lightning ninja stars everywhere I just run the hell away and try to get stuns in. I have no problem with kiting, I'm relegated to tanking/meatshield now as a barb and I don't mind doing either one, it's just counter productive.

IMO in nightmare at least most of the bosses are too easy, especially relative to how elites/champions/whatever you call them-packs are. Azmodan is a joke, we farmed him just so I could get to 50 for Hell mode. Meanwhile blue enemies have chain stunning abilities to keep you immobilized. Or they're so fast it doesn't matter if you have stuns/slows and increased movement speed.



Not really complaining - just feels a little unbalanced. I expect inferno mode to be ridiculous even after you farm crazy good gear and learn the mechanics. Perhaps this is by nature... boss fights generally unfold the same way, same terrain, while group pulls are more unpredictable? I'm overthinking this as usual...

 

I haven't played Diablo 1 and 2. Are they worth it or should I just start with Diablo 3? I'm going to wait for a price drop on D3 anyway, so no rush (I want to clear out my backlog a bit first).

Sorry if this has been asked already. I didn't feel like skimming through 11 pages to find out.

 

diablo 1 isn't worth replaying but diablo 2 is still good. if you have time, run through diablo 2 before 3.

edit: oh and you'd need the d2 expansion Lord of Destruction as well.

 

what does "gear buff" mean??

Lvl 40 DH.
Life: ~12,500
Damage ~ 1,000 (~90 DPS).

 

If you guys need any help leveling/beating levels just let me know. Imma just run through the level and kill everyone real quick so keep up if I do.

Champ#1828

 

Haha - if you have time.... I have friends that spend 10's of 1000's of hours on D2. But - it really it awesome - set the bar for sure.

 

Thanks! I'll wiki the plot synopsis or something for D1 then.

Oh it's one of <i>those</i> games. I'll definitely have to clear through my backlog first then.

 

got lvl 53 last night, DH with ~8k damage and HP. COuld have more Damage, but don't like getting 1 shotted all the time. Gonna try and mob through act 1 on hell tonight. Caltrops seem kind of OB, just drop em and run, mobs kill themselves!

 

wow.. venom hydra is SUPER good. i think it's the most powerful offensive spell for the mage.

 

37 barb here checking in...

noticed that barbs suck ass, but too much to turn back now lol

 

just get some nice fast swords or daggers.... 2H weapons are gay since the attack speed just sucks ass. just bought 2 nice dps-ed swords with good stats for under 5k.... :winning:
