  • Diablo 3: Expansion Supposedly Announced and Thoughts

    Supposedly, the Diablo 3 expansion had been announced. Part of the expansion will apparently mark the return of Jay Wilson since Blizzard’s Titan title will be delayed. Originally, I heard the rumor/announcement on Kripparian’s youtube channel and he offered some thoughts on what the game ought to be. The main thing he wanted was a…

  • Diablo 3: Auction House is Back, Message from Director and More Patch 1.0.8 Stuff

    Tonight, the Auction House was reinstated following a message from the director of product over at Blizzard that detailed the issues/fallout of the gold duping. Essentially, he summarized the actual bug and how Blizzard proceeded to correct the issue, their decision not to rollback the patch and even some stats on the percentage of people…

  • Diablo 3: Patch 1.0.8 Disaster, Gold Dupe Exploits and More Bans

    Today, Patch 1.0.8 was released and with a great deal of controversy. At first, the bugs seemed quite small with a few annoying issues that came out of a nice sized patch. Of course, you also have some QQ issues as well with the change in XP/drops for certain mobs. However, the real disaster occurred…

  • Diablo 3: Sharing Gear Between Classes

    I like the idea of gearing my guys and having them each operate independently as they can. It’s a nice challenge to work on each character and play them as if they were isolated from the rest of your guys for the most part. However, sometimes it’s just not practical because of the cost or…

  • Diablo 3: Near 180k DPS Witch Doctor Acid Cloud Destroying Inferno MP2

    I made a 10 million gold purchase to replace my old helmet on my witch doctor, which boosted his DPS to near 180k unbuffed (slightly less according to diabloprogress.com), hitting around 220k buffed. The results? Monster Power 2 Inferno is like a knife to melted butter. I probably can take down rares and champion packs…

  • Diablo 3: Re-Leveling A New Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor Fun

    My friend recently joined on Diablo 3 so I decided to give the Demon Hunter another try (meaning re-level a new demon hunter….hey there’s an achievement for that!). This time around with my gold resources and various hand-me-down pieces of gear, it’s a breeze. One unusual thing I decided to try was using a Spectrum…

  • Diablo 3: How to Make Gold for Starting Players

    If you’re starting out playing Diablo 3, you might find yourself a bit frustrated at times because of the way the drop system works. Essentially, you will quickly depend upon the Auction House to handle all your upgrades. However, the Auction House tends to be horribly overpriced at all times. So what can you do…

  • Diablo 3: Theory of Monster Power, Efficiency and Farming

    I decided to run my Demon Hunter this morning on Monster Power 0 just to see how much experience, drops and time it would take. Although I managed to drop things fairly fast, it still felt quite slow. Also, the experience and drops felt really watered down. So later, I switched back to Monster Power…

  • Diablo 3: Witch Doctor Paragon Leveling

    So recently, my hand started to really hurt playing my Demon Hunter in Diablo 3. Too much spamming of keys, mouse buttons and just hard to control. I decided to try something else for a bit since I was burning out on the Demon Hunter. That made me return to my Witch Doctor. The Witch…

  • Diablo 3: More Paragon Leveling for Demon Hunter, Barbarian and Legendary Madness!

    With my barbarian completed Inferno, I felt it was time to start paragon leveling him in a more serious manner. He finished at 6 so I decided to see how far I could push him. Essentially, I focused on doing Alkaizer Runs using Monster Power 1. I ended up hitting 10 by the end and…
