Diablo 3

Re: Diablo 3

like my experience with State Farm and USAA to deal with a minor car accident from the weekend. Impressed with both companies.

I know we're completely off-topic now, but I don't care.

I love USAA and would never be with a different bank in my lifetime. Never have they done me wrong with anything.

Same goes for State Farm, though I haven't had to ever deal with any insurance claims or anything - they've treated me well so far (I have my renter's insurance through them, car insurance is through USAA however.)

Re: Diablo 3

Trying to figure out what the best use of my time would be before RoS (and while this 50% more XP thing is still intact). I'm guessing it would be continuing to level my L60 DH since he's gaining Paragon Levels and those can be used to power up any characters on my account, right? And, once RoS is out, I won't be able to Paragon level again until 70?

Correct on the Paragon Levels carrying over to any character on your account (at least softcore. SC stuff doesn't carry over to HC.) Also correct on them not being available until 70 when RoS drops, once you activate it on your account.

I still got WD and Monk to level to 60 but ugh. Sometime in the next couple weeks I will I'm sure.

Wow, just went back to my Level 60 Wizard I first started on launch day. This game is kind of great now!

I've sunk over 40 hours on this over the past two weeks. I'm actually excited to play the game now.

As I mentioned, I started another Demon Hunter a few days ago and went 1-42 on a normal difficulty playthrough (for a story refresh as much as anything), and then went into co-op Master for the last 18. Been Paragon leveling since, and still actually enjoying it. I could never even get over the equipment/difficulty grind on Nightmare pre-patch (and it's a big reason why I stopped playing), but I just blew through it this time. The improved loot drops, 50% more XP and co-op help so much.

I might be a little underequipped to solo even Torment 1, but when you get a party of 3 or 4 it becomes much, much easier.

Question for Uber or someone who might know - what do Demonic Essences drop from? I used my entire stock trying (and failing) to craft a better bow and I definitely need to get more.

BTW, for anyone who isn't already on my Bnet friends list, it's bcruise#1841.

They're just in the random yellow item loot table I think. Just play on the hardest difficulty you can comfortably mow down mobs and you'll stock up.

Demonic essences have a chance to drop from Elite Packs/Bosses (then also the goblins.)

Drop rate was 15% at MP0 and ~39% at MP10, but I'm not sure how those drop rates translate to the new difficulties.

Possibly 15% on normal, all the way to ~39% at Torment VI but I honestly don't know that one.

Re: Diablo 3

Here's my DH. Had a good night tonight - found a legendary Bow, Quiver, and Helmet (the Mempo of Twilight that I hear a lot of discussion about). 75k damage, but squishy as all hell even by DH standards. At least that bow has a socket, which I filled with a diamond to assist in killing elites (before they kill me...lol).

I need to find a few more pieces of that Natalya's set too - I got the armor and can see the set bonuses. A Demon Hunter's dream.

Re: Diablo 3

I got a shield for the new Crusader class at the end of Act 2. I didn't think anything would drop for the new class until Reaper of Souls is out.

Re: Diablo 3

I think I might start a demon hunter. I jumped back in briefly with my level 56 Witch Doctor last night and I need to re-familiarize myself with all his spells and since I was in the middle of doing a mission, where exactly I had to go.

I got a few of their maces at the beginning of the patch, haven't seen much since tho.

Re: Diablo 3

I started a clan for us, so if you want an invite shoot me a friend request ( ubernoob#1658 ) and then message me or whatever and I'll shoot an invite.

For the PC version, of course.

Re: Diablo 3

A community or a clan? I'm in a really active clan, what a difference... it makes the game a lot more alive seeing as people get drops and stuff.

Re: Diablo 3

A clan. Nothing crazy, just for those here that don't have one and would like to be in one with other OS members (for chat, help, whatever.)
