  • Diablo 3: Patch 2.2 and Season 3 Thoughts

    Right now, I’ve been playing a mixture of season and non-season. Quite frankly, the seasonal items aren’t enticing enough for me to really commit my time in developing a new character at the moment, although I am leveling a barbarian. Most of the patch 2.2 has centered around the new sets for the most part…

  • Diablo 3: Patch 2.2 Test Drive Tonight

    All day I eagerly anticipated getting home to get my hands on the new patch. Originally, I thought about hitting the gym but it rained so it pretty much provided me with a reasonable excuse to head straight home after work. For the most part, I had been reading about the patch through forum posts…

    More concrete information has been released on the DiabloFans website containing not just some of the upcoming changes to the legacy legendary sets but some new features that will be released in Asia (at first), the Cursed Realms, side quests, etc. What I want to focus on in this blog is the information regarding the…

  • Diablo 3: Seasonal Demon Hunter Tips for Casual Players

    For season 2, I decided to push a Demon Hunter character since for the most part I’ve accomplished as much as I could on my normal characters. In short, I felt somewhat bored and wanted to give the new seasonal game play a try. I consider myself a casual player (although I do play quite…

  • Twitch TV: Determining When and Why You Should Get A Subscription Button

    Many streamers have the goal of getting a subscription button as it represents a sort of holy grail as a status symbol on Twitch. However, one thing I’ve noticed is that there seems to be this underlying desire that by getting a subscription button, people can just sit at home and play games all day,…

  • Diablo 3: Season 2 and Me

    Season 2 is just another 2 days away for me and I’m pretty excited. Unlike Season 1, I will participate early on for Season 2. In this blog, I want to discuss why I changed my position on participating in seasons.

  • Diablo 3: Season 2 Best Class Thoughts

    With Season 2 only a week away, I decided to do some basic theory crafting to examine which classes will have the greatest potential for greater rifts. Since the new season will not present the set pieces introduced at Blizzcon, I will not address those. Instead, I will look at just the season specific gear…

  • Diablo 3: How Ancients Has Affected My Game Play

    Ancient items were supposed to provide roughly between a 20-30% increase in stats. In truth though, not all stats are affected by this increase so the real impact falls upon main stats, vitality, damage, and a few defensive stats. Stats like Critical Hit, elemental damage and elite damage have not been affected and still abide…
