While fighting through a tomb I encountered several flying opponents. They were fairly quick and required some running away to deal with them effectively as a Demon Hunter. They seemed to ignore Caltrops altogether. Is this perception correct, do flying creatures actually fly and avoid the cal...

What happens when an item's durability drops to zero? Will the item be inactive like in WoW or will it be permanently destroyed like in Diablo 2?

There are 4 achievements for speed runs, one for each act, and another for completing all of them. Will I be able to do those runs after I finish the game with a developed character and how, or do they have to be done on the first trial of a certain difficulty?

Can you briefly explain, without requiring previous knowledge of the Mass Effect series and ME3 in particular, why is its ending considered so lame? Spoil away, I don't think I'll be playing it any time soon.

In diablo 2, I could have two sets of weapons equiped and could easily toggle between them with the W key (a dps set and a mf set). Is it possible to equip multiple sets of weapon in diablo 3, with a key to toggle quickly between them?

Presumably each monster has its own resistance stats to different types of damage, such as 5% lightning resistance and 10% holy resistance, much like how the player does, but is there a general pattern to which types of enemies are weak on some kinds of elemental damage? For example, will zombies...

I am exploring a bit the auction house in order to understand how the prices are going, but I can see only the price of items still available in auction. Does exist a way to see the price of items marked as already Sold?

I just started playing Diablo III and have noticed that, so far, I've only been able to add friends and accept friend requests from in-game. This is a bit frustrating, as I usually chat to my mates during lunchtime - a perfect time to manage my friends list online. Is there a way to do this? I...

I'm wondering if Diablo 3 is open to the creation of mods/custom maps? Not if Blizzard is supporting it, but do the game files have hooks and stuff that a mod could hook on?

Classes like wizard and monk, how much does the damage matter? Should I be more concerned about other things when choosing which weapon to equip?

It won't let me post this without some text, fix please.

Is there a great place that you can easily pull mobs to compare weapon/spell combinations? What's the best way to do this comparison, do a single hit and see what kind of damage it does?

Every time I get a weapon I can't use and it's better than what they currently have I pass it along to them even if it's rare. Does this help that much, how much are they actually helping out?

The idea of a bow in each hand barrelling into the depths of Hell has an appeal reminiscent of an old gun slinger movie, six shooter in both hands. Thus far, however, I've been lugging around a big ol' crossbow because of its superior DPS. DPS aside and bonuses provided by a particular item's a...

I know that Blizzard removed item sets from Diablo III to prevent shenanigans like swapping into a Magic Find set just before landing the last hit on a boss. However, the same reasoning doesn't apply to skills. That has got me wondering - is there a way to swap your equipped skills without bring...

If I'm a monk will I see different monster combinations and abilities compared to say a wizard?

What benefits do the amethyst, emerald, topaz and ruby provide when socketed? How is this affected by the quality of the gem?

I have searched the game menus and can't seem to find how to enable my headset mic.. Is this possible in D3 ? What are the alternatives? Are there external programs used for this?

I've noticed something interesting with the stats of followers. If I give my Templar this amulet, his stats increase unexpectedly: He goes from his original 55 Vitality: All the way up to 118 Vitality: Somehow, what is supposed to be a +25 Vitality amulet is increasing his Vitality by +...

In Diablo 3 there seem to be a lot more gem quality levels than in Diablo 2. How many quality levels are there? Can all of the quality levels be found and if so is there a breakdown on how difficulty level affects it? If they can't then how many lesser gems does it take to create the upper tie...

As a WoW player I am used to being able to view my toon online in the armory and check achievements, etc. Is there an equivalent for Diablo III toons? I'm about change my logged in battle.net profile to my Diablo battle tag however I can't see a way to view my toon.

The mystic artisan has been touted as the third artisan to join us in our fight against the darkness. Is the mystic still available in the released game and if so when can they be unlocked?

I have been using a Holy weapon for most of the game and so I assumed these yellow numbers indicated Holy damage. Now I also have an Arcane weapon, but I never see a color for Arcane damage. Do the colors mean something else?

Since there is no saving in Diablo 3, suppose I suddenly have to go do something with no previous warning (having a 2 year old son will do that to you), and I'm in a relatively safe area (no boss fight), can I leave my character idling in a corner with no fear of monsters walking by and attacking...

I noticed that the topaz has a modifier when socketed into a weapon that reads Melee attackers take x damage per hit What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that I take the damage when using melee attacks or that opponents who attack me with melee attacks take damage (ala Thorns)?

I'm a little lost on this one - how can I determine what level the mobs are that I'm fighting, and additionally, how can I see the XP reward from killing in each one? I MIGHT be able to determine this by watching the XP bar grow, but that's not very useful or easy. And I still cannot determine ...

Sometimes when I attack with Fists of Thunder I see a few forks of lightning shoot forward, even though neither my weapons nor the active or passive skills I'm using list anything like that in their skill description. What makes this happen, and how can I control it?

If I've skipped to Act II as soon as I can, but I come back eventually and play with a level 3 player, the mobs are very easy. Are they providing me with less XP per mob then I would've achieved if I were level 3? Are they providing my friend with less XP then if he were playing with another le...

I just got a magic item that grants +5 to dexterity...however, when I equip it on my wizard, my dexterity stays at its base 17, and none of the other stats shown under "details" changes either. Is the bonus not being correctly applied?

In Diablo II, when you log in on battle.net, you can see a leaderboard of the characters of the server, ordered by level. Is there something similar for Diablo III? If not in-game at least on a website?

While tromping through the ATI Catalyst driver problem I had the sudden insight that I shouldn't be using my ATI card (an aged Radeon HD 4300 series) at all but rather the Intel HD option provided by my i7-2600k processor. When I right clicked on the Diablo 3 icon there was no option to "Run wit...

I'm a player that tries to get the most of his character and find crunching/analyzing numbers fun (weird I know). Is there a combat log that is being generated/recorded in Diablo 3? Or is recording/review my only option at this point?

So, I set up a bunch of ships to manually supply my new crystal factory with the needed resources. I did this by ordering several ships to perform infinite manual trade runs. The problem is that when one of the needed resources is filled to capacity, the ship supplying that resource just gives ...

Let's say I have a normal topaz and I drop it into an item. I then find two more normal topazes (topazei?) and I want to combine them. Can I then remove the gem from that item, and if so how will it effect the gem and the item in question?

The Wizard's skill Electrocute is a bolt of chain lightning, which (without runes) hits one target, and can jump to two additional targets. There are numerous other skills that can hit multiple enemies - the Wizard's Shock Pulse, the Wizard's Disintegrate, and the Demon Hunter's Chakram are more ...

If I'm craving for crafting material, I see two potential sources for magic items to salvage - either finding them in limited quantities in monster-infested dungeons, or leisurely buying in infinite quantities from merchants. (which of course requires gold, which unfortunately also hides in dung...

In diablo 2 and (99% sure diablo 1) there was a Gold cap, the maximum gold that you could carry in your hero, and in your chest. (also in world of warcraft) I'm worried because the gold is shared between my account in diablo 3 (different from diablo 2 where you could split in other heroes).

I'm under a lot of pressure from my parents in regard to the amount of time I spend on video games and I don't blame them, I do intend to spend my time on a lot more productive matters. I've read some suggestions on how my gaming time can be reduced but I'm afraid such attempts will be futile in ...

Do the items offered from a store depend on the character in any way (e.g. on the character's level), or only on the merchant, the act and the difficulty level?

As I'm making my way through quests in Diablo 3, every so often the message, "Checkpoint Reached" will flash across the top of the screen. What does it mean to reach a checkpoint? Do you only go back to the last checkpoint when you die?

is this possible? e.g. I want to sell a magic weapon from Europe server to my friend in USA server

The Wizard's Teleport and the Barbarian's Leap both allow them to move to a new location. In using Teleport, I've noticed there are some times when I can teleport to a location my mouse is on, and there are some times I cannot. I suspect Leap is similar. How can I tell what I can teleport to - t...

I'm about halfway through Act 1, but I haven't found a single gem yet. This seems strange to me since in diablo 2 gems could drop from the very first monster you killed. At what point do I start getting gems? Bonus points if you can include why it was changed so monsters don't drop gems from t...

Other than the fact that it takes ~5 seconds to go off, are there any restrictions on which areas or at what times I can create a town portal? (Maybe I'm just thinking too old-school, but it just feels too convenient if I can do it anywhere and anytime so I feel like I must be missing somethin...

So I was playing Amnesia : The Dark Decent and I was asking myself : How do you save your light ? (I mean your coal, oil and stuff that makes light (sorry for the bad english) Here is the technique I use when I arrive in a new place that I never seen before : Make sure you light a torch ...

Example: Cleave: Swing in a wide arc to deal 120% weapon damage to the targeted enemy and 60% weapon damage to any other enemies caught in the swing. Rupture(Cleave Rune): Enemies slain by this attack have a 100% chance to explode, causing 150 physical damage to all other enemies within 19 yard...

For example, the monk ability Exploding Palm applies a 3-second DoT effect. If I hit the same target with this rapidly, does the target gain multiple stacks of the effect that each wear off separately? Or do additional strikes just refresh the duration to 3 seconds? What about two monks that b...

Treasure Goblins are feisty little monsters that drop gold trails as you chase them around, and explode in a giant explosion of coins and loot when you finally bring them down. Is the gold the goblin drops while fleeing separate from their "on-death" spoils, or does it get drawn from the same po...

In Diablo 3, my character's progression is tied very tightly with the questing system. This makes it extremely difficult to play with friends who are even around the same level. In Diablo 2, only one or two quests per act were required, so if a friend fell behind or I fell behind a friend in pro...
