It will be pretty close to have it ready in an hour, the speed for me is from 30kb/s to 500kb/s

Lemme know if that hard core cut throat league is up whoever can check first. I'll be out of the loop for a while but have access to internet.

Game is much improved from what I played awhile back, lots of fun. Patched early and fast right when able. Got to level 7. Pretty amazing someone is almost 17 already. That's nutty.

So, I like the ideas of having an army of minions. Does anyone have any ideas for a viable melee dps (1h+shield I suppose, to take advantage of the shield passive that buffs pets) that can summon as well?

I like zomborz/skeletons, but would also like to be able to smash shit too. Templar looks like he has a pretty good area to do this with, with some minion nodes near by.

They went full retarded on the $5 and $10 dollar points package for micro transactions.
I had to look and I completely agree. Maybe the $5 one could be a little less, but the $10 should be even and the $20 should be over a little. I assume a lot of people would buy the $20 because that is cheap but still good value.

Ah seems like server meltdown now.

The new chaos resist nodes are so fucking weird. First off, 3/4 of them are in the witch area, which is already weird. Including a 16% one that's very easy to get. I guess they thought of putting them there for "lower health" classes and that makes sense, besides the fact the shadow gets fuck all and the ranger only gets 1x8% node. Makes CI even less appealing as a witch when you can grab so many nodes with minimal investment. On the other hand, they "nerfed" the 15%ES 15%cd ES passive by moving it way further, fuck that one.

Going easy so far, besides when I tried to get clarity the first time by dual logging but my dual logged char got hooked by brutus and killed right before I finished him, that was annoying especially without phase run to run to him quickly.

Just started a Shadow, gonna go daggers/Claws with bows for ranged. Had pretty good luck with that in CB.

Can somebody post a good wizard build? It is a pain in the ass figuring out where to go while playing. I love the passive skill tree but its pretty intimidating off the bat.

Agreed, and it doesn't make sense even if you ignore the "buy in bulk and get more for your money" aspect.

The cheapest item in the shop is 10 points, and the smallest pricing increment is now 5 points. Even if you already have existing coins and are just topping up, any amount that is not a multiple of 5 can never be spent. For the first two packs, 45 & 95 would have made "sense" even if it appears to be a little stingy. This just seems like some intern looked it up in a "101 retail tricks of the trade" manual.

This is going incredibly smooth. No lag, a 5 minute downtime at one point which was fixed promptly, fast loading times. I'm guessing they erred on the side of caution and made it seem like they thought they weren't going to be able to handle all this extra unanticipated load, when in fact they had a good plan in place but wanted to be cautious not to raise expectations.

If I have a wand with 16% increased damage with spells does that effect the damage of my minions?

Health is the counter for chaos damage. Witch has the least options for health passives/str. Makes total sense the chaos resist passives would be heavy in that direction. 1 in ranger, 1 in templar/witch, 2 in witch/shadow of course.

that said, I think they hit CI way too hard. I really don't see a reason to get it. your effective health is way higher without it.
