Ok so my in-game video turns into a slide show if I am in a group with 2 or more and multiple packs get pulled. It's particularly bad if there are arcane sentries, a witch doctor, or lots of other spell affects. Currently I have a GeForce GTX560 1gb but I am going to buy myself an upgrade for my birthday. Is my video card the best route to fix this, or should I go for CPU? SSD?

Thanks,

New GPU will give you the biggest boost.

Yea, loot buff + new kadala is retarded. Got 5 non-dupe pieces after like 2.5 days switching to crusader. Only piece I'm missing is boots, since Kadala is being frugal with those.

I'll give it a shot, firestarter is all about using silly stuff- I think someone said fire walkers proc it 5 times a second.

Yeah, I've heard that fire walkers tick every 1/8th of a second. I know before this patch that you could see a big difference between fire walkers and fire walkers + charged up. But testing it just now, I couldn't even tell charged up was active.

Got a BoP, Needless? I find Condemn quicker for clearing packs. A good measure for what Torment you should be on too. BoP Condemn should seriously damage most elite packs.

That doesn't really sound like a video card problem unless you've got tons of shit running in the background. I can run it fine on my crappy work laptop with integrated video, no slow down during gameplay but loading takes forever. 560 ti should be plenty for diablo, that's what I had before I upgraded my home pc and honestly I noticed 0 difference, had everything maxed before and after.

Try setting the sound options at minimum / off, and see if that helps.

The 64 channel sound option ruined performance on my I7 16 gb until I figured it out.

Found two Crusader set pieces on the last rift run on my Wiz...now to get my Crusader to 70. Also made use of that giant stack of mats in my stash and made a really solid set of Aug/Cain's/Captain gear and some decent set weapon/shield for my Crusader alt. Nailed half the gear on the first try and the other half on the second try. I guess the game was being kind to me for not finding anything for my Wiz to use.

It's fun running a lowbie alt stacked and packed with 280 Str gems. T1 is laughable with this stuff.

Weird I got Barb & Monk set items on my crusader last night, picked up JH shoulders and Zuni boots so it was not a bad night but ended up with every class but crusader loot.

I've been rotating between my Wizard and Crusader, and I have a ton of mats banked. I'm getting a ton of decent drops, but no really killer weapons, which is a bummer. I need to level another alt or do hardcore.

As far as gems, man is there a trick to farming cash? I'm too poor to make a bunch of 280s. I've blown through 50M like it was chump change....

Get decent gear with +gold find as secondary, and roll on the highest torment you can. It scales incredibly well. On T3 with I think 4 pieces of GF gear, I almost hit 2000% GF and piles of gold I've seen get as high as 13,000 when I'm paying attention. One rift was slightly less than a million gold. If you aren't a monk (cry) you could potentially reroll secondary on decent but not top-end gear into GF and do T3+ easy.

I've been running T2/T3 mostly... I figured with my Chest I'd be rolling in dough

Really, I don't play nearly as much and the money timesinks in ROS seem hefty to me, it seems. Maybe not after a few more hours.

It is kinda tedious to save for gems, but in the games defense you keep the gems you have. Unsocket when needed, and build towards the top end gems. You pay a penalty for unsocketing a lot but you're really only looking at 5-6 gems per character.

What's really absurd is the gem cost to re-roll jewelry. And speaking of, how about putting some more high level gems on goblins or chests or something. Maybe that happens at T4+ but I dont see many at T3. Just a billion Marquise.

Was thinking about fixing the OWE monk problem, and had a look at my HC crusader and it's terrible overall resist rate.

If you allowed 2 seperate re-rolls on an item, one for primary and one for secondary, that would fix monks OWE pretty much, and allow for a deeper customisation for other classes as well. Keep the current ruleset so AR on a piece means no chance to roll secondary resists.

Well that was fun and all but there's no way I'm playing this game with halved legendary rates until ladders.

That's a poor bandaid at best. It doesn't fix that STI and OWE would still be required. It would allow other classes to better optimize their gear than a monk(globe is useful for at least half the classes) while simultaneously driving up reroll cost quite fast.

How about they fix dodge and just get rid of OWE? Leave STI and it will be a nice defensive bonus, much like other classes have, but not required.

Pretty sure you're not going to be happy unless STR and DEX increase resistances for their respective classes. Sure, then you can ditch OWE.

..and re-roll cost? why did this even make your list of gripes?

oh, see comment above.

ps: STI isn't a required skill.
