Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

Someone on reddit posted a lightning build but he dual wield both lightning swords(thunderfury which procs a chain lightning and some other sword which makes mobs that take lightning damage do damage to mobs around them). With those you can just whirlwind and destroy everything apparently. The stun ring would be insane with those 2 swords though. Really love those elemental synergy legendaries, makes for some cool builds, sadly it also means they're hard to make since they rely on multiple legendaries which are purely random drops. But I guess you just farm with whatever you like until you get enough legendaries to do specific builds on other stuff.

So now that the initial novelty has somewhat warn of and people have managed to play around a bit what is the verdict? Are people going to buy the x-pac now? Is the game better? Is this just a polished turd?

For me I've been having a blast with some RL friends. Picking up loot that I can actually equip and see my dps and toughness increase dramatically over the past few days is pretty nice. I'll be playing for at least this week I think, though I still haven't made up my mind if I'm going to buy it or not.

Companion pig is also 20% all resist, 900ish life regen(pretty crappy but it's something) and 30secs cooldown aoe taunt for 4secs. So like a templar but with resist and you can still use a DPS follower(or enchantress if you have some good int gear). Also does cleave dmg for 40%weapon dmg, not very good but eh that's "free". There's also a passive with +10%life/AR/Armor and 10%cost reduction on disc abilities, if you want more stuff, there's a dodge passive in ros but like, it's a dodge passive, 20%dmg reduction on turret/traps/grenades, 3x1.5% life regen when standing still for a bit, shadow power still even though it's a fuckton weaker now and the RoS skill has a rune that fires slow aoe missiles that heal for 6% max health for every target hit(90secs cooldown on the skill though).

So there's some stuff, even if you're not gonna reach monk/barb level of tanking. The thing that doesn't seem that great though is wizards seem to be doing a fuckton more damage. Might change if they nerf APOC though, as currently the "issue" is wizards can basically spam spenders almost non stop and the spenders are very strong, while DH has to keep using builders which are fairly weak and the spenders aren't even that great in comparison.

RIP Wizard ;_; god damnit why do i play HC
Back to SC for the expansion i guess!

I will almost certainly buy the expansion now... maybe even pre-order if you get some kind of bonus for it.

Click to expand...

You get some angel wings or whatever(they look the same as the CE one but yellow I think) and the demon hunter character in Heroes of Storm for free. You don't actually need to preorder though, just need to register a key before march 31st(or well you need to preorder if you buy it from Blizzard directly).
