god shadow dagger falconeer is busted, and dive bomb is busted. just had a 80k damage crit at level 67 in poo poo uncrafted campaign gear, and i just blap entire screens while my bird carries me around

when you get 7 repeated dive bombs within like 2 seconds and a boss just disappears is amazing

Got my falconeer to 35 and the bird is indeed strong. Knock on wood but the network has been really stable for me last night and this morning, zone transitions are flying. I'm playing online/solo though - how are things for people playing with others?

Is there some bug with movement skills where you get "stuck" temporarily? It keeps happening to my sentinel, i thought maybe it was a stun or something but I don't see any debuffs or visual indication when it happens

I know this was an issue with Flame Rush in 0.9. You get more runes the longer you are holding down the button, so it was noticeable when you would just tap the key trying to generate a single rune and instead it lasts for the full duration and fucks up your runes. Feels like it was a connection issue.

i had the same issue. i just did monoliths until i was like level 62 and pumped my cold and lightning resists

I respecced back into cthonic fissure/bleed plus chaos bolts and then hit monoliths to get my respecced skills up to a decent level and then went back and he was a breeze because I only had to not make mistakes for a couple of minutes whereas the curse build just had pathetic single target damage even if it was an amazing screen clearer otherwise.

Even without any decent gear changes to shift into the new build need for phycical instead of necrotic damage, it's doing fine and I'll probably stick with it for the rest of the campaign and at least early monoliths.

The mana sustain is amazing as long as I'm in a giant pack of mobs for me to shoot at, but towards the end of every fight the fissure keeps firing and eats all my mana like candy, lol. It's kinda funny to have the opposite mana problems as normal builds. Give me giant packs and I can spam chaos bolts, keep the rifts up and drop spirit plague on tougher enemies all day and the many fills up faster than I can use it. My health recovery easily outpaces the few bleed stacks I put on myself with spirit plague also and as long as there's a bunch of mobs around for the rift to chew on my ward stays up near 2k.

Stash tabs keep getting more expensive, buying shatter rune things, and there's a 'gambling' dungeon thing where it's nothing to blow through a million+ gold.

Yep, seems to happen to me with Lunge sometimes. Probably ramps messing it up or some weird geometry issues. Using the ability again should get you unstuck.

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

I leveled a falconer up to about 35 using flasks and had a good time. I've now switched over to the umbral blades build with aerial assault dropping them for you, and made dive bomb and falcon strike instant cast and autocast with the numlock trick and it's OP as hell. I have a feeling they will either be retooling the instant cast passive or increasing mana cost or something to prevent people from having two really strong abilities automatically going off while you're doing other stuff. Then again there's plenty of brokenly good stuff atm and they are probably still busy with other launch things so maybe it'll be a bit before they start nerfing certain things.

What's the NumLock trick?

Suprfli6
Jul 9, 2008

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

It's the same thing that works in diablo and other games. First you have to bind an ability to a numpad key. Then with numlock on, you hold down that numpad key and turn numlock off and then let go of the numpad key. The game thinks you are essentially holding that button down forever so every time the ability comes off cooldown it will get used automatically. It works especially well with falconer because the attacks are instant cast so they don't interrupt you while you're running or doing other stuff, their mana is insignificant, and your falcon will just hit whatever poo poo is on screen with the attacks so you don't really have to worry about manually targeting them.

Return of the Sensei

Got a Box of Hydrae and specced into casting Hydrahedrons. This build is absolutely wild, I'm doing easily 4-5x more damage than my previous Frost Claw build even though my gear for it is pretty mediocre.

This still happens in 1.0 btw. It does feel like lag or server hiccup when it happens.

The only annoying part is your falcon will still be spamming the attacks while you idle between monoliths, and your character will repeat "Not happening..." over and over in town. And alt-tabbing turns it off so you have to re-enable it after doing that. But it makes the game itself require fewer keys and some of the effects from dive bomb and falcon strikes are really good and this maximizes their uptime.

the correct way to hear an arpg is to first turn off all volume sliders, and then turn up the audio fx until you just barely hear that patented arpg crunch over some real music or whatever video essay you're putting off.

On your first character: when you get to Maj'elka near the end of the story. Maybe I mashed through text too fast, but the game didn't point me there very well. It's the top-left exit.

On subsequent characters, you get to join at the first town.

The town in chapter 9 for your first character. After that seemingly at the first camp for new characters, though I assume only on the same cycle.

I think I'm happy for now with my Paladin. I'll keep playing him but I believe I have the build I want and just need to keep making it better.

Instead I'm going to try for a similar character/opposite theme thing and try to make a melee necromancer "death knight" type character. Not sure how much support there is for that but it'll be fun to try at least.

It's probably this. The option was in game earlier, though -I've been playing this mage since 0.9 and I've never heard that line, I'm pretty sure I turned it off when my Rogue's error lines annoyed me enough back before MP even came out.
