I have 350k dps monk and over 1000 played hours. There is absolutely no way my character would be as good as it is now if I did not use the AH. Pre patch, if you wanted a descent character you simply had no other options but to use the auction house

That was just it though, you stopped playing the game in order to play the auction house. It was a game designed around the AH mechanic from the ground up in order to generate more revenue.

Now that's gone you can go back to playing the game and get the gear you stood no chance of getting before!

Diablo to me is all about the drop and always has been. Knowing you weren't going to get the drops from the game anymore ruined it for me. Whats the point in playing it.

Well diablo is about crazy loot and always has been....like WOW. You are for every chasing the crazy numbers on the loot items :) It does get frustrating though when nothing useful drops, but then that was the point of the changed loot system.......so far after 12 hours of play on the new system I haven't seen it myself as Ive only had two upgrades lol but most people Ive played with have....I must just be unlucky. Is fun again though :) As before it was kind of pointless after a while.
 
Surely the end game content is extremely watered down on consoles, because 4 players on t6, all using a controller with the kind of numbers running and action I've seen on PC, no way they could do it. You'd need the speed and precision of a kb+m. That's the reason I'd never play this on consoles.
 
Spent another whole evening playing Diablo again. So much fun with the changes, useful loot and some really entertaining new bonuses on gear. Tweaked my Wizard to a different set of skills, got some nice drops and a gifted armour and it's got me laughing away as I play, enemies are basically frozen most of the time (or near enough all depending on what perks I use)

I've been playing around with Frost Nova and Ice Armour to try and get a bit more useful dps. Seems good so far but not tested against high level enemies yet!

It's quite different on the console, you get kitted out quite a lot quicker.

Ah that makes sense, shame your characters don't crossover platforms, it'd be pretty sweet to gear grind on the sofa and then get on the PC to play the uber content. :(

EDIT: Servers are down until 10am.

We have another clan RAP which is made up of a few OCUK members and aload of old members from our old WOW guild, people are welcome to join, speak to any RAP member and explain your off OCUK forums.
 
Played again last night when I got home, even though ill do heaven on torment 2 must have some legendaries then......only one I got was the key off the warden you need for the infernal machine. Apart from that nothing lol.......I continue to be unlucky.
 
I dropped out of the Clan lastnight, you needed the space and a freind from Planetside wanted me to help him making an Outfit clan (which currently has 3 people in it) but i had some good runs with some of you, Zombie pile ons in particualar. I added nearly 60k to my DPS lastnight (non Sharpshooter) and while my toughness dropped by over 300k i am much more durable.

Is the Toughness calc wrong for Demonhunters? I dodge a lot obviously but if i get hit its nearly insta death by anything serious some bosses still one shot me on Torm 3, at one point while i was messing around with my gear i had More HP and toughness than my Barb freind but still died in one hit when i had over 120k HP and 1 million toughness. Lack of resists i guess, but shouldnt that show in the toughness numbers?

Same as the pure DPS number on the chr sheet can be very misleading especially with buffs on.
 
I agree I think the new "simple" damage, toughness, healing is very misleading. Im not sure what was wrong with the old system, was a lot easy to work out.
 
How in the blue hell does OcUK have 150 people in the clan already :eek: ! I obviously underestimate this forum sometimes :p

Got my Wizard to 42 now I think. I have to say Wizard is an extremely fun class to play I'm rocking an Arcane build at the moment as it seems the most potent for levelling. Although I like the look of going a fire build when I hit 60.
 
I'm pretty sure there'll be at least 10+ randoms in the clan who've applied to join through just seeing the tag in chat or on one of us in game and they've just wanted to join any clan. The problem is there's no easy way to weed them out.

had a fun blast on this last night :D just joined on a completely random party (most of you guys were on T3+ so didn't want to be a hindrance ;) ) on T1. I can kinda survive xD haha! think the diamond skin and frost nova are saving my life really. though after about an hour and a bit of play I did only die 3 times :D lots of really close calls though :p this was only when there would be groups of blues/golds throwing all their toys on the floor so I was literally walking in **** ontop of **** ontop of **** xD and my teleport would be on CD :p

that looks like a nice build, I might adapt to it a bit in taking some more frost stuff and running the passive for damage :)

I did manage to go up about 5 paragon levels and increased my dps from 25k to 35k :p wooo!!!! putting out such a pitiful amount... I'm basically a support role atm just freezing things ;) so not completely useless ;)

but yea not sure about this damage/toughness/healing stats.... seems a bit too general when comparing items at a glance.

see if I can get on tonight and get a few more paragon levels and sexy items ;)

So all this mad loot ive got in the last week, its going to be crap come the 28th in about 10 mins when im replacing level 60 legandarys and sets with level 70 yellows?

Im concentrating on making up some Gems for now, farming like a mad man and buying up as many from the AH as I can afford. They are ranking up nicely and running around in my Goldskin with the ferrets out made me 5 million gold lastnight.
At least the gems will carry forward, its the only real "investment" on the AH that will.
