  • 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…

  • Diablo 3: Chakram vs Evasive Fire M6 Demon Hunter Builds

    Recently, I managed to obtain a very powerful Ancient Calamity for my Demon Hunter and found a near perfectly rolled Spines of Seething Hatred quiver. In turn, I had been mostly running a Chakram build for low level stuff. However, because I already had a Bombadier’s Rucksack, I wanted to give the Evasive Fire build…

  • Diablo 3: Patch 2.1.2 Experience, Gearing and Farming Ideas

    Patch 2.1.2 for Diablo 3 dropped yesterday and I gave it a quick spin with the Demon Hunter and Monk. Fortunately, I had the prescience to hoard various legendaries that I felt would eventually make a comeback in the future, thus allowing myself to quickly swap  some gear for both my Demon Hunter and Monk…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Working with EE Keeper

    At a certain point where you feel you’ve accomplished your basic goals in a game, the way you can take it to the next level is modding it. With Baldur’s Gate 2, there’s a really cool utility called EE Keeper that allows you to modify your saved games for the Enhanced Edition. The main purpose…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Modifying NPCs to Be More Interesting

    I heard there’s a program that allows you to modify NPCs a bit. The main benefit is to give the NPCs a little more variety and hopefully make them more appealing (since many have either poor stats or just offer nothing in terms of their classes). So here’s some ideas in terms of making the…

  • Diablo 3: Ideas on Improving Class Sets

    Something that I want to work on in this blog is coming up with some ideas to improve upon class sets. I mentioned previously that I do feel Demon Hunter’s Marauders set is in a good spot overall prior to the nerf and that the real issue is improving upon other sets. Here, I want…

  • Diablo 3: Thoughts on the Upcoming 2.1.2 Patch

    I still haven’t given the PTR a shot yet for Diablo 3 (I did manage to download it). But I have watched several streamers demonstrate it as well as hear commentary from streamers and forum posts. I wanted to share my take on this patch.

  • Diablo 3: More Futzing Around With Builds

    Using the weekend’s experience buff, I decided to hit the old Diablo 3 pretty hard. I managed in the end to hit paragon level 602, not intentionally but it was part of my holiday goals. The other thing I wanted to work on was striving for some better gear, mostly on my Witch Doctor pet…

  • Diablo 3: Keep on Trucking

    This is going to be a vlog of some Diablo 3 stuff I’ve been working on. Mostly, I’ve been really focused on playing as many classes as possible and trying different gear, even non-end game builds. I’m very close to finishing a few guys up and wanted to share my experiences here.
