[Official] Diablo III Information and Discussion Thread - Page 849

I've been just starting the sword of the stranger quest and going to cemetery, clearing all crypts, head to fields of misery, clear it, repeat. Got tons of decent rares,3-4 rings, 900 something DPS 2 hand xbow with dex and +40% weapon damage, 200 ishmin and max damage stats too in maybe 2 hours and close to 200k after repairs. I ran some A2 with 5 stacks of nephalem valor to compare and the only decent thing I got was a gem recipe. To be fair it did sell for close to 1 mil.

Hi guys. Is there any way to save the diablo installation so that I dont need to download the whole damn thing again?

Well, I had realized I installed it on my SSD, and not a HDD. I just moved the folder to the HDD, and remade the link to the launcher. Been working fine.

So, in theory, you should be able to do the same.

Also, don't tank him... this may have been said before because I see 200+ new posts, but for those who may not know... his life is the spirits that chase you or whatever. Hitting him does no good. If you need to, just kite and kill the spirits. Use your defensive skills.

really:?> i always just destroyed his adds as i ran in circles and then whacked boss to death when i could before i was surrounded to be dangerous.


FYI best ability this fight are 2-3 things

1. sweeping winds
2. mantra dodge = dodges proc aoe damage
3. aoe kick... more AOE and more space and time to move around sweeping armarda or something

Amen. The nerfs were needed to start the process of class equality... but every change blizz has made to the game just convinces me more of an honest to goodness conspiracy to bank off this game. EVERY step they have taken since release just so conveniently happened to create incentives for people to use RMAH.

Anyway, the repair costs NEED to go! That was completely unnecessary. I'm sure they will change it, but as I said... one more move to drain peoples gold and eliminate the only way they had to upgrade gear from farming if they didn't already have good enough gear for act 2 inferno... forcing them to turn to the elite few "lifers" who have profited off of the glitches and exploits since release who are now sitting on top of the world of diablo3.
I could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that hitting him directly does absolutely nothing... and your success with those 3 things simply came from their AoE pinging the last of the spirit things to his death... Does anyone else have a say in this that can clarify?

Except with repair costs

Those patch notes are so great. I wish they would acctualy do it. I love the idea of a diamond gem, reducing repair cost for non-death damage. Heck I like it all

had a 1m night last night.. finally bought a string of ears (not very good, but it's a start)and spent most the night farming act2 to maghda with my barb... it's super easy but I am getting so bored of the same skills...

walk into center of mobs holding left click > press 3(revenge) repeatedly doesn't really matter what any of my other skills are as they never take precedence over revenge. With the exception of a charge/leap out of bad.

zzz

was owning stuff with frost arrow crits last night too... nothing like clearing groups of 5+ mobs with 1 frost arrow crit

That's just not true... I've gotten plenty of rares from the bosses. Sure they're not amazing, but definitely more than useable at a lower level. In Normal, Diablo dropped 5 rares for me. I also have ZERO MF.

Last night I found my 3rd Legendary, again with ZERO MF. It dropped off of someone running through the Silver Spire in Hell. The Butcher in Hell also dropped my 2nd Legendary. You must just be very unlucky, or there is a MF bug somewhere in the game.

Also, I was stuck at Lvl 48 after Diablo in Nightmare, so I ran through the Act 3 quests (the signal fires/catapults one and the one where you destroy the enemy catapults) twice and made it to Lvl 50. That took maybe 30-40 min. I don't think it's really that big of a deal...
