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: 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…

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.

Diablo 3: Why I Prefer Completing Rifts in Groups
To complete or not complete? That is the question that must go through every Diablo 3 player once they kill a Rift Guardian. In a group, you sometimes are faced with people who mostly do Rifts just for Bloodshards. However, I feel that many people end up missing the point of the group play mode.

Diablo 3: Ancient Items or No Ancient Items?
A controversial feature in the upcoming 2.1.2 patch is Ancient Items. Ancient Items provide approximately 30% improved stats. Currently, it’s not known which items will be seen as having the Ancient Item status outside of weapons. In addition, Ancient Items will have a very low drop rate (roughly 5-10% of legendary items dropped will have…

Diablo 3: Patch 2.1.2 Coming Up
One of the talks I was looking forward to the most at BlizzCon 2014 was the preview of the upcoming patch 2.1.2 changes. On Thursday night, I had the chance to meet with the Diablo 3 team, but I purposefully avoided asking anything about future content patches as I figured everything would be addressed here…

Diablo 3: CarnEvil/Pet Doctor Build
Recently, I leveled up a second Witch Doctor with the intent of providing her with all my spare gear that my original Witch Doctor had obtained. My goal for my second Witch Doctor was to act as a bank alt but also to experiment with other gear builds beyond the high end Jade Harvester build.…
