I don't get what you're pic shows. Two 2-handers on a barb?

**Akiyama** · 2012-05-23 09:05

Honestly, Smokescreen still works as I've been using it..so meh.

ok, I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise the servers couldn't take it lol

Yes. It was a glitch and worked on everyone as well. You could be a demonhunter dual wielding 2h xbows. The glitch was insanely easy to perform as well. I'm kind of sad I wasn't 60 with pwn weapons yet, I would have equipped two to see if they stayed on after they fixed it. Would have been the only barb in existence dual wielding 2h weapons.

just finished ruling nightmare yesturday w a friend, we didn't get a single rare drop from any boss in nightmare. got a rare drop from almost every normal boss. is the drop rate of rares needed past normal? seems like you should get rares more frequently in higher difficulties

**Eanae** · 2012-05-23 09:35

Rare drop rate is more than fine as is.

Bosses don't have an increased drop rate for virgin kills past normal, which is retarded imo. It should at minimum still be there for nightmare. Overall drop rate is perfectly fine imo.

**djzombie** · 2012-05-23 09:46

yeah I wasn't really complaining, just thought it was odd nightmare bosses dropped nothing worthwhile and was wondering why

where do you farm in act 2 ?

**Eanae** · 2012-05-23 09:59

Boss farming with neph valor isn't bad at all. My first hell diablo kill netted me 3 rares and 4 magic.

**Dantrag** · 2012-05-23 09:59

So many nerfs lul.

I must be missing something.. cause I've seen the shots of items (obviously nowhere NEAR that point in the game's content personally) but I would still take the Azurewrath over the blue. You don't even see anything for the 2 random affixes.. what if it's like more IAS (no idea if that's possible to stack and roll like that).. you're going to DESTROY the 1.67 atk/sec on the blue.

I stand by my statement that legendaries and rares that -roll well- will still outstretch these blues. Besides, exaggerated DPS with junk-padded numbers from elemental damage is only meh. The mace is the only good one there, and that's the perfect 1.5x dmg. I have no problem with blues being that good. Fuck, I love that blues are justifiable in many cases.

I would buy Chromatic Bone Shields of either the Wolf or faster hit recovery suffix in A2 NM in Diablo 2, socket them til I got 2, insert 2 perfect diamonds. I had no shame in wearing a blue item then, certainly not now. This was the best shield I found in many of my ladder resets before you get bored of grinding duping enigmas baal runs, shit, gross. D3 is sex on fire

My only issue is legendaries seem too rare to drop, but maybe that will change later in the game for me, nephvalor, etcetc.

**Dimmauk** · 2012-05-23 10:12

Monk has gotten 3 nerfs! WTF!?

**Ratatapa** · 2012-05-23 10:27

where do you see all those patch notes

**Dantrag** · 2012-05-23 10:29

They're all hotfixes.

**Azull** · 2012-05-23 10:38

I may be reading the stats wrong between what is listed in game and what is listed on the site. The in game listing takes into effect the bonuses listed on the weapon. I dont think this is happening to what is listed on the site. If thats the case the skorn has a possible max damage of about 1945 (if my math is right, not sure when damage % increase in calculated) plus whatever other random bonus they get compared to 1720 for the mace. It also has a faster attack speed.

Then again i can be totally wrong.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-05-23 10:55

Smokescreen was nerfed? Well that explains why I'm getting fucking wrecked on my Vit-less DH in hell.

**Akiyama** · 2012-05-23 11:10

I like having 19k health on Hell on my DH and still getting raped in -3 seconds lol

The Problem with this is that Damage per second = much, much, MUCH more real world end result damage than those additional secondary stats on the legendary. End result with that 1300 dps weapon would be leaps and bounds more over that of the legendary. This, along with other reasons (every class stacks VIT + their main secondary stat) is why we will probably see an itemization reform or patch in the future. I for one cannot stand that as a wizard I'm forced to carry around a fucking bow/2h sword to maximize my Damage dealing ability. Its absurd really but I still think its a fun game. >.<
