Squeezed up to level 3 paragon on go live.. took like 3 and half hour to reach it.. Adds something like around 1.5m exp for every next level (started off 7m to reach level 1, then 8.5m to reach level 2, 10m so on and so forth..


Btw, this is wearing a ruby gem on the helm. I highly suggest to slap your helm with the best one you can get your mits on to.

Did the update make it worth a reinstall?

well my monk has no GF/MF on his gear and after almost 3 hours in Act 1 i found 2 ilvl 63 rares and several 62's. gold was decent too as i made almost 100K but spent it on pots from the vendor above the caverns that rarely appears. Also i found something to spend my $11 on, i bought 9 million gold and geared both my characters to be able to farm ALL of act 1 now instead of the first cpl of quests.

Yes if you enjoyed the game

This update also make the Elite/Champion packs easier to deal with, since they have less HP now.
I couldn't count the number of times I died with the mob at like 5% HP before lol.

So all Blizzard had to do was add a 100+ hour timesink to get people back? Good lord, I just don't see the reason to go back yet.

The game is way to easy now. I just killed diablo inferno myself. It represented no challenges for me. I dont even need to use the AH any more. I used to enjoy looking for items to help me proceed, now its all done and dusted. Im i the only one thats not happy with the new patches outcome?

Now you just have to wait for them to patch a new and improved difficulty patch for awesome players! Followed by lots of complaining and eventually a revert to current levels.

None of my personal friends logged on. None of my close internet friends logged on. 2-3 random D3 friends are on.

Seems Blizzard should've done this earlier. lol. It seems they pretty much caved in to suggestions (besides adding weapon/gear swamping).

I'm trying a DH and managed to go all the way to the butcher (Inferno) with close to zero all res and i killed him in under 2 minutes: that's a first ever.

That vault with fire rune sure does come handy: it's sort of the DH version of wizard's poison hydra.

Hell yeah Vault is a life saver for sure there is another too which un freezes and get you out of being locked in place.

But a bard gets what about 60-80% chance they will miss and DH's get a crappy Dodge that dodges shit for the most part.

I think my issue might not be resistance as it's around 900+ and 1350+ with a barb. when a barb can do it even with MF gear on. But maybe i am thinking the wrong way about it by having to much dps ( 33k with MF and 36k without ) and use more armor type and such stuff + doubling my life ( 32k ) although that shits expensive if you want res with it and the games real boring with very low res as you spend more time bouncing around than helping\killing..

It is going to get to easy. Every paragon level is +3 to prime stat. So at lvl50 you have +150 to your prime stat, lvl100 = 300 and that is a pretty big bonus. I am totally okay with the MF/GF but i do think adding more stats is going to make the game a little to easy. I farm act 3 with my wiz, the only thing I am going to get out of this is allowing me to swap mf/gf gear for dps.

Is it me or they increased the max core stat value items can have?



It's the second time i see an item with over 400 in a core stat.

Found myself my 1st legendary with patch 1.04:

yeah they gave core stats on 2handed weapons a huge buff, actually might see people using them now.

They did 2 things, they increases the minimum stat rolls on level 60~62 items and also boost the stats on 2-hand weapons so that they aren't always inferior to 1-handers.
They also change the minimum stats on all newly dropped legendary items so that they aren't 99% crap.

Actually for 2-handers it is actually better to go life-steal if you do enough damage.

Yes.

I get lvl 61 rares quite frequently and lots lvl 62 rares as well and, ofc, the lvl 63 rares drop more often.

Still, haven't found good gear, though
