The most popular class skills, passives and runes in Diablo 3

Despite Blizzard having stated from the start, that they didn’t want cookie cutter builds and that they wanted to encourage this by buffing, and not nerfing….their actions have spoken differently.

The two biggest offenders with regards to cookie cutter builds would be the Whirlwind barbarian and the critical mass/WW wizard. Blizzard have decided to handle this, not by making the alternatives more attractive by buffing them, but rather by heavy swings of the nerf bat. They are cutting pretty much all proc-coefficients from the wizard and all procs-coefficients necessary to run a whirlwind barbarian.

But the rabbit hole goes deeper than that…

Monk changes in patch 1.0.6?

Posted on by

It is no secret that Monks are the Red-headed stepchildren of the Diablo 3 world. The class changes in patch 1.0.4 for monks sucked, especially compared to what the other classes were getting.

Some of those buffs (for the other classes) were awesome, leading to Demon Hunters using Vault and trail of cinders for easy farming….but whoops….that was a bug! So a few days after Trail of cinders went live, Blizzard decided that the 1500% damage from Trail of Cinders was a bug and needed to be “fixed” in patch 1.0.5.

And then we have the WW barbarians tearing up everything regardless of monster power level….but supposedly Jay Wilson’s favorite class is barb, so that is not going to change any time soon!

But there is light at the end of the tunnel for monks!

Farm act 3 Inferno with crappy gear

Today we have a change of pace in the videos. Normally when when people farm an area they are a bit ahead of the power curve for the area, to be able to farm it quickly and efficiently. However, once in a while you want to try other areas, you might not be geared for.

This is mostly something ranged/kiting classes can do, so it is mostly something wizards, Demon hunters and to some extent witch doctors can do.

This weeks update is going to be a little on the light side, since I have a lot going IRL right now. But I will still strive to update, although it might not be the usual 800-1000 word posts.

Swing by the D3F Facebook group and join the 1300 others, if you want to enjoy smaller bits of content more often to satisfy your Diablo 3 cravings.

With patch 1.0.4 well underway, the dev team has started to look towards patch 1.0.5, and it is looking pretty interesting. Not as many and widespread changes as in 1.0.4, but still a lot going on.

Trail of cinders will get “bug”-fixed in patch 1.0.5

Patch 1.0.5 brings changes to Trail of Cinders

With patch 1.0.4 we have seen a flurry of activity in the game and old players have returned. This last week has been a rather slow one understandably, but there are some small things to do warrant a mention.

We will get a patch 1.0.5 before patch 1.1

One of the biggest upgrades to come out of 1.0.4 was Trail of cinders being buffed to 1500% of weapon damage. To further add to the slightly overpowered nature of this skill, when patch 1.0.4 first hit, sharpshooter was also bugged, when used with Trail of Cinders. If you had Sharpshooter on, you could let it tick up to 100%, then use Trail of Cinders without proccing Sharpshooter. This led to some pretty fantastic farming using trail of cinders! Essentially you had double damage, since you were always critting! That was fixed pretty fast, but Trail of cinders is still a fun skill….maybe too fun!

Patch 1.0.4 buffed Trail of cinders immensely. Try it out!

The full patchnotes to patch 1.0.4 mentioned a buff to Trail of cinders, so that it will do 1500% of weapon damage over 3 seconds. On the surface it might seem like a lot, but a lot of other skills look good, but turn out sucky. So is this the case with Trail of cinders?

Not even close!

Fast Paragon leveling in Diablo 3

Patch and patch notes for patch 1.0.4 is out and what a patch!

The auction house was improved, elite packs got easier, loot got buffed, classes got buffed and most importantly: paragon levels were introduced!

The 100 paragon levels make sure, that even if your loot sucks at the end of a farming run, you will still have gained quite a bit of paragon XP, so you still have something to show for your time. But how do you level paragon levels fast?

Patch 1.0.4 introduces hero levels: the Paragon system

The patch 1.0.4 hype machine has been going non-stop for the last two weeks. One thing is all the 1.0.4 changes to the classes that have been announced, another are the huge buffs to legendary items or the system changes to loot, mob health and enrage timers. Those were enough to get me excited about patch 1.0.4….but there is so much more to it; including a new endgame!
