How do you get around this? Can I force bnet into an aspect ratio in the launch options or something?

Yeah you have to tap like the upper part of the screen or something. The window needs to be maximized.

Hell yeah just took out the Butcher by breaking his ai by putting a shrine between me and him. Just took a single swing at me every couple seconds.

I killed Butcher today. I was in a nightmare dungeon, which is already tough. I clicked on a ballistic shrine or whatever they're called, which started a survival challenge. With all the pixels flying around the screen, I didn't even notice I was fighting the Butcher until he was half dead.

Man, reading the Blizzard boards, you'd think no class is currently any good in the endgame.

- Rogues think the nerf to TB has ruined the class and they need to reroll
- Sorcs think none of their builds are worth a drat past level 50 and they need to reroll
- Barbs still reeling from the WW nerfs.
- Druids are apparently still leveling because they're complaining about how slow it is.
- Necros seem to think minions are completely broken and they need to reroll

Anyone hit end game yet and can comment? I don't get a lot of playing time so I try to find a class in these games that has both a good leveling and end game experience. I know Blizzard boards are a cesspool and it's hard to separate the crap from the truth.

No I mean like I used the literal "Skip Campaign" feature since I already beat the game once.

I'm only at t9 nightmare dungeons but they're lots of fun as hota barb. Build really unlocks after 50. Leveling sucked pretty bad and it was hard to kill several campaign bosses. we'll see how it is once I get to wt4 but it's good so far

I mean i'm a pretty massive dumbass with brain damage, and I am getting through the end game just fine with winging it with a necro minion build that is not following an expert guide. Pick your skills and find gear that gives those skills a bonus.

Got my first unique! And it's one I wanted to get (Lam Essen's staff) so I could check out a charged bolt build!

Unfortunately, it's 130 item levels lower than my current weapon, which puts just a bit of a damper on it.

I encountered him in a random dungeon at like level 15. He's supposed to just be kind of a huge pain to kill when you're not leveled up yeah? He basically just murdered me, like I could have run away but there was no way I was going to win a straight fight.

Rogues have Poison Flurry which is insane damage and survivability. It'll probably get nerfed and I'll be sad. Those forums are also complaining that bows are useless, which is very valid.

I've done some multiplayer stuff including two legion events and Druids wreck poo poo faster than I can. It probably is slower leveling but can't be by much, and it looks like it's worth the wait.

I almost never see a Sorc in game, I don't know why.

The prob I have with sorc is that there are mana problems. Especially on single target. I almost feel like the resource mana shouldnt even exist and we should just rotate CDs

It definitely stacks. One of the main benefits over the standard explosion is that each tick can trigger Lucky Hit effects, which can get really silly in massed puddles.

There's a loading screen tip that literally says "Direct damage is any damage that is not damage over time." Thanks, that clears that right up!

Does it feel bad without the mana regen Aspect from Hawezar? I'm pretty far away from there, currently. Also might be a pain in general to switch, given my gear is all slanted toward fire and DoT damage right now...

Is the cooldown on Unstable Currents not a huge drag while leveling? Even Inferno's much shorter one seems a bit much at times. And how do you deal with bosses? I had Arc Lash in my build for a while, but getting close to bosses and the occasional elite was mostly just suicide so I switched it out for Spark.

if you're trying to go right to not running a builder you would probably want that mana aspect but i didnt really care for that and instead just did a more pure frost build until i had more affixes for resource generation and switched over to a build using fire bolt enchantment when i could more reliably go without a builder. maybe now that ive played it more i would feel differently leveling again. since you already have fire gear you could try playing around with either fireball or fire bolt enchants along with the ice shards enchant and still get some use out of your current gear.

I'm having a ton of fun with my non-meta Barb build. I want to shuffle some legendary slots around, but this is my current setup. Basic idea is to never use the same ability twice in a row, always pairing Lunging Strike + HotA at a 1:1 ratio. Make sure to use Leap or Charge in between to keep up the Walking Arsenal buff, and with the constant weapon switching your HotA usage should have a net resource cost of near zero. Iron Maelstrom is used as an opener against elite clusters and/or kill groups of ranged chaff. I'm comfortably doing tier 40-45 Nightmare Dungeons at level 74, which I think is more effective than average.

Act 3: Killed Elias the very first time before he could do anything in a 2 second burst and thought oh no I've really broken the curve with this single target build!!! Then the actual Act 3 boss gauntlet was really cool. I guess Act 2 was a bit wider and story focused and suffered some loss of gameplay polish? Elias as a boss was a nail biter compared to knocking Astaroth over like one of the beginner tutorial bosses.

Halfway into the campaign and competency all around, really enjoying myself.
