I want to get back into D3 but only after I hear some opinions on the following Very Important Question: which class has the prettiest, flashiest AOE's?

Not the most damaging, or the most useful, but the one that will fill the screen with the most ooh and aah

you are welcome to get into a huge multi-page slapfight over this Very Important Question

(I don't have the Necromancer expansion but I will get it if it means pretty AOE's...but based on D2's necro I kind of doubt it)

My personal favorite screen junk maker is a wizard with as much atk speed and reduce cost for meteor shower as possible. I don't have it anymore, but it was the dumbest fun.

Things I would have been happy to see would be some new content for d3, even just weapons and skills only. Hell, custom skill trees and offline to give it a jolly good send-off.

I already have a Diablo mobile type game and have for years.

It's funny to think how probably every person who downvoted the video and is having a temper tantrum would be talking about how cool the mobile game is (or at least wouldn't care) if they'd just announced D4 at the same time. They really couldn't even have done a teaser trailer? Maybe they started working on it on Monday.

Unless the initial video of gameplay is intentionally misleading, how is a mobile arpg clone done thousands of times over with a Diablo skin on it cool?

Is there a reason that people keep acting as though c-level execs are capable of rational, let alone human, thought? D3 sold on account of massive nostalgia and all of us chomping at the bit for new Diablo content, and the tiny amount of ~game~ that we got in the years after was basically fluff. Don't forget that they started making a Diablo shlooter that they then scrapped, which I'm sure totally didn't take resources away from d3.

How many hours have you played Diablo 3?

Much like destiny 2, way too goddamn many. I fully admit to being part of the problem where I spent money on a thing that I wanted just fit the fact that it was the closest thing I could get to fill the void.

I'm not saying it was terrible, but it's not a game that stands out in a crowd outside of the name BLIZZARD DIABLO plastered on it.

My billionth run of link's awakening on og Gameboy is more evocative of happy feelings than d3 provides, and I really wish that it could stand on its own merits. What it could have been is unfortunately not what it is. I truly hope that in the interim the life support team continues to iterate on it for those still playing.

It's fun to make fun of blizz but I actually love "you may only equip one of this rarity" as a mechanic since it puts a softcap on the benefits poopsocking and forces people to think about their builds a bit rather than just equipping more numbers. However I also kinda hate looter games because I get no chemical release from seeing numbers become bigger so maybe my opinion isn't that important

To me it's just a tired as gently caress mechanic tbh. It depends entirely upon how they're implemented and how the skills work. Maybe it won't be awful, but I really just don't have that confidence right now.

Gonna miss the wizard class. Shooting giant balls of energy with miniature galaxies in them or channeling the chaotic forces of the universe into a death beam was a whole lot more awesome than fireballs and elemental magic. Feh!

The ultimate "gently caress the system" character and it was great.

Yeah, wizard was dope, but then again I'd have to want to give blizz money for another game instead of just playing d3 when someone inevitably makes a pirate offline version with mods.

E: to clarify, I don't want to give blizz any money because they're a lovely corporate hellhole, and all hosed up like a football bat.

Eh, I'm trying, but I'm still a consumer whore in other areas of my life. Blizzard just happens to be trying to sell a product that I don't need, but want, and have made enough terrible choices that I don't think they can rectify.

My other issue is that even logging in to something from them gives them another blip on the screen saying I'm using their product still.

You know I am wondering, was there ever a really good build for Magic Missile? Like it always seems like anything that might potentially buff them instead buffs a bunch of stuff that it was better to use than Magic Missile.

Also any way to actually get both 5 Missiles and have them seek?

I think way back in vanilla or shortly after? I can't even remember what my build was, but it was something I crutched then. Now I don't know.

I think there was a time when the fire rune was really good because... its DoT stacked infinitely? Or was it how it interacted with the old Firebird set? Something like that.

Otherwise, you'll find MM in DMO builds as the generator for the Triumvirate but that's about the extent of its usage nowadays.

Yeah, I remember that now. Stacking ias to just pile the DOT up on firebirds. Good times while it lasted.
