Again, i disagree. It would be so if the items in question were very good, which they are not.

I had 2 * 71 intelligence / 15 AS rings (replaced one with a 59 intelligence / 13 AS / other stats, including a socket just recently). @ the AH, i've seen 150+ intelligence / 15 AS / other stats, and i'm only talking rings here.


About this kitting thing i hear so much about: it looks good on paper until you face those elites that keep pulling you close to them. Then, no matter how good you are @ running away, it's useless :(

Well i'm saying comparatively speaking and there is no denying (that's why it was done after all) it gave you a massive advantage. For say a barb/monk to do act 2 inferno effectively for example it costs about 10 million. To do act 3 you need 20+ million.

The fact that you yourself said the items weren't that good but they had ias which gave you incredible killing potential for a cheap item just shows how broken it was.

I wouldn't say cheap (just far from expensive), but i agree with this.

I was referring to wizards. AS affects each class differently, no?

Attack speed decreases cooldowns for wizards?

Why the f**k should I increase attack speed through items when Revenge only has a chance to get active after I get hit, when Overpower has a fixed cooldown that only a rune can decrease, and both of them use weapon damage for their damage?

And if I were not to use any of them, I'll just left-click for Frenzy which will eventually stack 5 times (for 75% attack speed increase) and still end up increasing my attack speed more than any item (even before the patch) can ever increase? And that 75% attack speed increase, even pre-patch, would need to be done by 5 items since they typically have 15% IAS.

That's what I don't get with those ranged classes and their attack speed fetish, even though weapon damage is just as important for them. For example, attack speed has nothing to do with Rapid Fire since it's a channeling ability, hatred is the limiting factor there, not your DH's attack speed. Then there's Rain of Vengeance, Impale, Fan of Knives, Multi-Shot...To be honest, the only key skill that really needs a high attack speed is Hungering Arrow.

Put on your rage face, seriously, not everyone here is only playing Barb (or Demon Hunter) /facepalm

Attack Speed was great, but you had to play with abilities that made use of it obviously (not rocket science). You list a few abilities from some classes, but they have other abilities that make use of it. I'm using IAS on my Barb Post Patch and kicking major ass still, because it gives me more ticks for LoH.

I could barely pay the repair cost after vendoring all the blue and rare crap. This is stupid.

Too much pain, not enough profit.

I'm loving the patch, repairs are expensive, but now my build is tanky enough to push through Act 2 and Act 3 as a DPS spec and not die all that often.

the way I see it the change to the crafting system helps out the adjusted repair costs.


so far, despite increases cost I am still making gold. note that I have only dropped and inherited gear, no AH. I am quite squishy, and 10k repair costs don't break my bank still.

I'm not sure what my repairs are, but when I was about 25% damaged on my Barb it was about 16k, so I don't ever want to see yellow or red.

Sounds like Blizzard went bat-shit crazy with the repair costs. I'm not looking forward to seeing them first hand now.

I personally see it as a good thing, if not great thing. It should help to stop the absolutely insane inflation rate. Probably 95% of the high end items on the AH are from DH/Wizards going to really hard areas, doing a pile of damage, dying, then repeating until they kill everything. It really does help to level the playing field.

I found my 3rd legendary so far doing a butcher run in act 1 inferno with 2 friends.



I also made my first RMAH transaction :D $8.99 Battlenet richer



Damn it feels good making money playing a video game. I'm glad people out there want to pay real hard earned money for digital items because I can't afford it :respect:

I'm a horder... plus I started keeping them when I read about patch 1.03 and the reduced cost to craft most of the gems.

I kept the radiants when I leveled up my demon hunter, I guess I need to make them into squares now :)

2 Radiant + 85 gold + 1 Tome = 1 Square... definitely way better than before the patch

3 Radiant + 7500 gold + 1 Tome before the patch was a rip off. Almost worth keeping radiants now, especially if you horde like me :D

you do know squares are like 40-80 gold each in the AH? IMO doing the jewelcrafting is a waste of time AND tomes... transform all your squares into flawless squares I understand, but else keeping or crafting using radiants are a complete waste

2.20$ and I'm paying the thanks as down payment >:)

I'm actually getting kind of pissed off about the RMAH. My barb appears to be at the point where i can no longer find items on the regular AH because the ones i need people only want money for now.
