The Forsaken Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm in the US, so will most likely play on US servers unless I can deal with EU server lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I imagine most will be US. I know f0xx, hitnrun and I are EU, afaik from those that played D3 the rest of you were US. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm patching up right now. US servers... look for the duelist with absolutely nothing effective happening around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 How will you guys get your ***es owned by me if you are all playing in the US server? Wtf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I've always found the PvP in dungeon crawls to be a bit... blah. Its all about who farmed hardest, who powerbuilt right, or who traded best. It is rarely about skill, understanding, or creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mali Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 What is your character/account name Krins? We are pretty close geographically so should be on the same server/league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I was patching up, but it started to interfere with LoL play so I'm waiting for me to stop for dinner to get my patch done. My account name is KRins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Level 9 Shadow so far, glad I played closed beta so I don't make the noobie mistakes I made with my previous build. Little tip, whilst you -can- refund passive skill points you've already spent you only get a small few of them throughout the game and the orbs that can let you do it are very rare, so plan carefully!

KRins Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Are there any particular "builds" you would suggest Dey? I'm likely going to play either a bow ranger or a dual wielding duelist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 There are lots of different builds that work well but the general consensus is that even the most offensive of builds need to work a good bit of defense in there. Most people will tend to focus on 2 or 3 main 'defences' out of life, evasion, armor and energy shield. You can have dual-wielding rangers with swords that switch to elemental bow damage at close range or marauders dual wielding wands doing heavy spell-attack damage. It's hard to recommend anything in particular, just if you do what I did and and try to be a bit of everything (and lacking in defensive stats) you end up pretty weak at it all in the later difficulty levels. I'm a shadow, going dual-wield daggers aiming for critical hit chance/critical hit multipliers, taking the Chaos Innoculation passive (maximum of 1hp but 50% more energy shield and immunity to chaos damage, which becomes my primary source of absorbing damage). This works perfectly with an aura skill that gives you increased damage output but at the cost of life/second in the form of chaos damage. Stacking tons of energy shield and evasion for defence. The forums have a lot of build suggestions in the class sub-forums. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passive Skill Balance: Chaos Inoculation now grants no additional energy shield bonus. Its complete immunity to chaos damage, synergy with Blood Rage and other skill combos are deemed sufficient upside to counteract the life penalty.

Deykari Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Didn't they nerf CI so it doesn't give 50% ES anymore? I didn't know that, I read most of the patch notes but glossed over some of them, there was a lot from the last time I had played in closed beta. Still, the build still stands.
