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.

Find a few volunteers to handle admissions and put a password in a post somewhere. Anyone who asks anyone else to admit them, or can't quote the password when asked, is rejected. That way you know anybody who joins is at least reading the forum, if not participating.

You can use this to filter existing members too; ask everyone who made, say, post #1146 in the Diablo III thread. Anyone who can't answer gets kicked.

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.

You'll probably wind up going cold-centric. Got to 55 last night and gave Frost Orb a try. Its not quite D2 Frozen Orb level or destruction but its still pretty potent. The cost hasn't worked out as badly as I expected thanks to the extra AoE and damage Frost Orb seems to kick out over the other versions.

Combined with the 13 cost Blizzard rune, the 900% damage Frost Nova and the short fuse Explosive Blast its doing quite well so far at 56 Expert (the difficulty has been ramping up quite a lot since I hit 50). I am a little tempted to swap Nova for a Teleport though just to get me out of sticky situations.
 
Will look at Frost Orb later, sounds like it could be good. Seems a lot of Diablo Wikipedias haven't updated to say it exists so couldn't find it at first, however see it on the official site under some fella's character!

Think before I gear up my Wizard for all cold related skills/bonuses I should probably try out Arcane and Fire wizards to see if they are much fun :)
 
Folded and ordered ROS, i know im getting set up with loot 2.0 and all the changes but Im enjoying it and what else can I say.
 
I have tried a cold build but I haven't got Frost Orb yet so it really was not effective at all at my current level. That said I still run around with the Frost armor with the area to slow enemies if they get close. I'm also really starting to feel that difficulty kicking in too, I'm about half the way through Act 2 now on Master. It really is starting to get hard but so much fun !

One elite pack I was up against, those invisible nagas with reflect dmg, extra HP and that lighting orb ability (I forgot the name) in a small area was extremely hard work ! the amount of rapid movement and quick tapping on the mouse was insane ! But felt so good when they went down and dropped a legendary ring :D

My “spec” I’m currently using is Arcane Torrent with Distortion, the one that puts a debuff on mobs to increase arcane damage, Arcane Hydra, Magic Missile with arcane dmg buff, Disintegrate with the bigger beam, Frost Armor and Archon. Then Glass cannon, Prodigy and Atonement (I think the one that gives +20AP and 2AP per sec) I tend to drop hydra quick tap torrent to get debuffs up then beam wait till they get close, frost armor slows them run away beam more, quick tap torrent to keep debuff up and keep hydra up. Seems to destroy things pretty quickly and I can kite fairly effectively while dishing out some nice damage.

That said this as you said might very well all change once I get higher level. But so far I’m enjoying it and will prob stick with it until 60 unless I really do start struggling.

I’ve got a feeling I might just about manage to complete Act 2 on Master. But if the difficulty carries on raising the way it has been I think Act 3 will need to be done on Expert.
 
still looking for a decent spec with my wiz.
last week i rolled all electric meteor & electrocute. but somewhat don't like meteor ;)

now i changed to ice spells with frost orb, but not sure i like this either :confused:
 
Is there any point in trying to get the best level 60 gear if you intend to get Reaper of Souls? In WoW, the worst items from a new expansion are usually better than the best of the last, I can remember picking up blues that completely invalidated the epics from WotLK in Cata :p would it be the same in RoS do you think? Like finding decent 61s that are better than the best 60s.
 
I saw some of the reaper of soules beta walkthroughs and most said the top level 60 gear was good till about 65 then the drops were a lot better.

As you say say with every expansion, it makes last game/expansions end game gear suck lol.
 
How long for 60 to 70 in this game though?
If your smashing up Torm 3-4 solo without a problem then surely its going to be quick to get from 60-70 judging by how fast I have leveled from 0-65 Paragon.

Like i said before, Im getting gems so I can level up my gems, gear is all going in the bin soon enough so why bother getting too hung up on it, Im playing for fun and actually having fun right now.
 
gotta love expansions, just like wow.... grind for ages getting epix lewts....then first quest in new expansion you're binning all you epic gear for common greens :( so depressing

Do you think it's probably best using the 50% xp period to fly each class to 60 on T1 or concentrating on Paragon? Having a ton of fun on my wizard even though it is an extremely herpy derpy class. :D

Where do you find gems, drops or AH? I'm looking to do something similar but not sure where or what to do, running through T2 solo atm but have had one flawless sq. emerald all day. :o
 
Thinking of starting a new character and so maybe a new class.

Never really played the Monk/Witch Doctor. Which of these is best level 60+ for groups of 4?

Yeah Meteor still seems a bit crap. Its too expensive and there are far easier skills to land for greater effect.

I found cold-centric builds still fairly effective even before Frost Orb but until my early 40s I was still playing Normal. I only switched to Expert after beating it the first time. May not have had the same effect on higher difficulties before that point.

That said I did have a bit of fun with Blizzard, 80% slow, Frost Nova, 900% damage rune and Ray of Frost massive damage DoT on enemy death. Problem is the harder things get, the less it matters how easily you kill the mobs. Its down to how you can handle elites and champions and some skills simply don't work very well for them at all.

What I've been doing is clearing areas of mobs (anywhere high density) or running Torm 3 acts while looking for Keys.

I made over 5 million Gold last night from dropped gold alone (Goldskin armour with 100%plus Gold find and procing gold drops on hit) and bought gems from the AH and combined them (5 mil bought me around 300 flawless squares).

I am also trading with a freind he gets my rubys and a i get his emeralds.
