Omg, thank you!

Sounds similar to the other monk Mantra of Conviction - Reclamation (30% chance to heal you when you hit in melee).....I still prefer the increased damage of Mantra of Conviction though, the healing from Mantra of Healing is minuscule when you have 29k life (it heals me for 266 per second unless I constantly re-cast it for the 3 second buff), that's 109 seconds to fully heal, useless in combat and not powerful enough out of combat to really do anything, I'd much rather do 12% more damage with a 30% chance to heal every time I hit. Though maybe the new rune will make it more viable....it depends on how much it heals per hit.....out of combat that 109 seconds to fully heal is still really slow, but combat healing (if powerful enough) would be pretty nice.

Looks like there is a Monk who beat Diablo on Inferno solo.... His build is very interesting and I will try it. He used this build http://us.battle.net...XgjQ!UXY!ZcbYbc

I think I'll give that a try tonight in Inferno Act 1 and see if I can make it through the damn catacombs area with out having to restart :p

He does have some pretty bad ass weapons though, as his damage is roughly 18k DPS....

If you could get to near-cap on Normal, what would be the incentive to even play the higher difficulties? I think part of the draw to Diablo for me is that it doesn't just give you the cap on a silver platter, so to speak. For topic of discussion, what do you think Blizzard can/should do for the game?

But I definitely see your point and nobody can argue against someone's personal experience. Its a shame that the luster a lot of us had in the D2 days isn't there for D3 (again, for me it is but there are a lot of folks where it isn't). Probably the most damning thing was the 12-year development. I think its interesting that StarCraft can have an 11-year hiatus and SC2 feels like the game never skipped a beat. As someone pointed out before, maybe its just the genre itself. Regardless, I hope D3 lasts a long time.

It's not the genre, Torchlight 2 was more fun. I've logged more time into Torchlight 1 (which doesn't have any story) and the only reason I want to continue playing D3 right now is because I'm at the start of the 4th act and want to beat the game once.

Blizzard can start by making an offline mode. Lagging and dying in a boss fight is unacceptable. Then they can allow for more customization. I have no problem being forced to make a new build if I want to switch from playing an ice wizard to arcane wizard (as it is, my toon isn't "mine" since I can easily switch him up). Increase loot drops. Remove the auction house.

Thing is I'm a straight tank Monk. I only have 5.5k DPS.

Fights take a long time, but I pretty much don't die. It makes long fights with bosses with certain mechanics that I have to avoid difficult, but it keeps me on my toes.

I have 1900 Life on Hit, 70% damage reduction, 60% all resistances, and 43k health.

Doing lots of damage is fine and dandy, but if you die too often, or can't survive, or struggle with it, the DPS doesn't mean much.

I usually run with a DH friend who has 68k DPS, so I just keep all the mobs on me and let him kill.

Last night we did Siegebreaker in Act III Inferno, and farm him for the most part, doesn't take but 2 minutes a kill.

The night before I soloed Izual in Inferno. Took around 25 minutes, and I wiped a bunch, but finally got it.

For me, the gameplay in Torchlight 1 is not near as tight or interesting as it is in Diablo 3. I'm looking forward to play Torchlight 2, and was kinda bummed that it didn't come out sometime before Diablo 3.

About to clear Nightmare on my Demon Hunter. Currently lvl 50, doing about 3.9k dmg, and have about 19k health. Getting ready for Hell :D

My Battle Tag thingie is LOC (or do you need the # and numbers after also?) btw, so feel free to add me guys! Really, the more the merrier to play with I always say.

Think you need the #s also or email (which obviously you wouldn't want to do!) I think the BattleTag is a joke, not to mention they had a seperate ID for SC2 :s

I just sold this legendary spear for 600K (510K after 15% cut). Originally, I bought it for 99K so I made 411K. At first, I didn't think it would sell at all. And now, I feel like I could have sold it for 750-800K.

Nice man. I saw a similar spear on the AH earlier and it was up for like 2 million or some crazy ****.

Nice damage for it's level requirement, but the stats IMHO suck.....no vitality and strength/dex, life on kill is MUCH worse than life on hit.....about the only thing it has going for it is it's DPS and reduced damage from melee attacks.

I personally wouldn't pay more than 50-60k for it.

So thanks to Anaron I finished up Nightmare mode, what with his god-like Monk that pretty much two hit any boss monster :D

Hell mode is kicking my butt though. Just bought a 2 handed crossbow on the AH though that increased my dmg output by about 25% so I'm going along now at about 5800 dps with 19500 health or so. Died like 15 times already in Hell mode, don't think I've died that much through my two plays of Normal and Nightmare :(

Anyone know how much data is used for D3? I am going away this weekend and want to hop on but will only have my cell to teather to. Bell's data plans aren't alll that much so I want to ensure I don't exceed the 1GB I do have.

I'll run Hell with you. I die a lot too. Just need someone to play with. Most of the people on my list don't want to play because they are too busy in Inferno.

Sure thing Razor. Only thing is I have to help some friends of mine through Nightmare today/tomorrow so they can join me in Hell (I play all my games with them, so we kinda stick together) but if they aren't on I'll die in Hell with you some more!

Oh and in case you missed my other post, my BT is LOC#1799 :)

Idk...I think I'm seeing some item duping going on in the game. I came across 10 of the exact same rare at the same starting bid amount and buyout amount on the AH. All 10 had the exact same stats... I suspect something fishy is going on there :(. I tried to take a screenshot but was having issues... maybe I did it just didn't notify me (if it is like printscreen in WoW).

Wasn't the WHOLE point of making the game 100% online was to keep things like this from happening? I suppose it could just be coincidental, but I find that unlikely.

I couldn't help last night. Was only going to be on for a few minutes, so I wouldn't have been much help to run through anything :p But Friday I can help.

What you are seeing with that is blacksmith created items. They don't always have random stats and will sometimes come up the same for certain weapons and armor.

I've seen a lot of this in the past few days, 20-30 items all the same stats and names with varying prices all posted at the same time.

Oh I see. I thought all blacksmith crafted items were random. That makes sense, then.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
