Maybe this then

I'm often within 15 yards anyways. Slow time makes it really easy to be close

Plus all the stunning I'll be doing will help with that too.

also, I could be wrong, but I swear that some of the tool tips for these skills are wrong.

Thought glass cannon was a bigger increase + decrease.

I just want to go home and play diablo 3 now.

Chippies

is the level cap gonna be increased to 70 even for those who don't have expansion?

Origami Robot

13:21

@Chippies Don't think so.

Chippies

so, those without expansion pack won't be able to play with those that do have expansion pack?

Wipqozn

@Chippies I think they can, they just won't be able to access the new act.

Chippies

imho, if they keep the level cap at 60 for non-expansion people they are gonna lose money

Wipqozn

@Chippies How?

Chippies

@Wipqozn less new players. It's like what, 100$ for diablo + expansion?

Wipqozn

13:24

I would think that keeping the level cap would have the opposite effect. They will get more money by keeping the cap.

kalina

@Chippies they didn't lose money any of the other times they did this exact thing

Chippies

well, maybe not, what do I know :)

Mad Scientist

They're pushing the extension pretty hard inside the game right now, I'd expect it to get rather frustrating to play for anyone that doesn't buy it

Wipqozn

@Chippies $80. Also, what kalina said. They do this with WoW all the time.

Also anyone buying the base game right now with the intention to play with friends would probably upgrade to the expansion once they hit 60.

Sterno

I doubt they get all that many new players at this point anyway

Wipqozn

13:26

IF they're just planning to play solo then the new expansion doesn't really make a difference.

Chippies

as I've never actually played wow after any of the expansions came out, I figured they mostly just locked out new areas and stuff for those without expansions

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn Unless they wanna play Crusader.

kalina

@Wipqozn and with the previous Diablo games

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot I meant people only buying the base game at once, instead of base + expansion.

Sterno

Other than the bump right now due to the expansion

kalina

13:28

@Chippies locked out new regions, new items, new mounts, new pets, level capped at where the old expansion had it, etc

Origami Robot

Also @kalina is under contract to move to a more reasonable time zone to play with us cool people.

Sterno

You don't play a game like Diablo knowing you have a level cap relative to everyone else, even if you play solo. Unless you're playing for the story. In which case, D3 is a poor choice

kalina

due to the subscription part of it all they do get some features, but not many

Chippies

@kalina I always thought level cap was global, that made more sense to me, but I guess I was wrong

kalina

@OrigamiRobot sorry I am unwilling

@Chippies you was wrong

Origami Robot

13:28

Breach of contract!

kalina

there was no contract

if I suddenly play D3 with you guys, at 5am, I have no real justification for not playing Final Fantasy with @Frank

and that makes me a bad person

I'm not even sure I want to stay up and watch continuum with you

what with you deleting your account and all that

Wipqozn

@kalina He's just following in your footsteps.

Origami Robot

@kalina What if I deleted so I'd have more time to watch Continuum? Irony!

Chippies

@kalina being an online gamer is complicated. You can never play with everyone!

kalina

@Wipqozn he can't follow in my footsteps, I have tiny feet

he's making his own footsteps

Origami Robot

13:30

Maybe I have tiny feet too.

You don't know.

YOU DON'T KNOW MY FEET

kalina

@Chippies especially around here, all of the people who would play MMOs are all Americans

@OrigamiRobot a guy with tiny feet... that must mean... tiny...

nevermind

Origami Robot

Shoes? Yes it would mean that.

Sterno

Arqade is best MMO

Chippies

@kalina I know all about that. I used to stay up all night and sleep 'til 3~4pm just so I could spend time with my friends, who all happened to be from the continent of America :x

@Sterno I'm so confused.

AATTVVV

Sometimes I use Hydra instead of Magic Weapon.

Sterno

@AATTVVV so much crit

AATTVVV

And sometimes I use Mirror Image instead of Teleport.

Sterno

Leap is not a great Barbarian skill but I enjoy leaping around too much to get rid of it

AATTVVV

@Sterno Yeah, a remnant of AH min/maxing.

@Sterno Yeah it's pretty fun. Way better than Furious Charge.

fredley

Also the positions of your monitors will be forgotten

AATTVVV

@Sterno Yeah, hopefully you don't need it, but if you do it's amazing.

Wipqozn

@AATTVVV I like your wizard set-up. I'm planning on using this when I get my Wizard to level 60 (minus the extra passive).

I might swap familiar out for Teleport if I find myself dying too much.

Sterno

@Wipqozn You appear to be a melee-range wizard who has chosen the Glass Cannon passive. I wonder if that will work in Torment

Wipqozn

14:02

@Sterno We'll just need to wait and see!

It's really hard to make a build when I haven't played torment much yet + haven't maxed out my wizard.

Sterno

I ended up dropping Glass Cannon on master because elites were beating me up too much (way down here at level 20, anyway)

Really liking Arcane Torrent, at this level anyway

Wipqozn

@Sterno Same here. This is what I've been using for now.

Arcane Torrent is really good against single targets.

Sterno

I don't know if I can find my profile without logging in. And I can't log in from work because I don't have my authenticator. Therefore, I can't link my shitty, useless build.

Wipqozn

@Sterno You can just make it up on the skill builder. that's what I used.

Assuming you remember your build anyways.

Sterno

STOP WITH YOUR LOGIC

Mine's pretty pointless to link anyway since I've barely unlocked any skills

AATTVVV

14:06

@Sterno Problem Solved

Sterno

Right now it's pretty much arcane torrent, that force blash push thinger if they get too close, and the arcane LAZERS beam

@AATTVVV You are magical

I don't know if they still have it but there used to be some super-powered arcane laser beam thing on a cooldown that my wife always used

Every time she'd use it I'd yell MOTHERFUCKIN' LASER BEAM

It was good times

Arperum

@Sterno Archon form. Pain reincarnated.

Sterno

That sounds right

Archon form + Disintegrate, probably?

AATTVVV

@Sterno Archon gets its own special brand of disintegrate.

Arperum

Archon form has a disintegrate like attack.

AATTVVV

14:10

I haven't used Archon at all because it's a pain in the ass to experiment with due to the cooldown.

Sterno

All I know is that it's got a motherfuckin' laser beam

Arperum

It is basically an answer to all champs that lock you in with walls and go, "gotcha now bitch!", then you go all kinds of "Nope, it's YOU who's locked in with the crazy. DIE".

I have two piles on either side of the entrance to the driveway

I'm right on a corner so the snowplow dumps a ton of snow right there

Everything else is melted. Yard is completely uncovered. Except those mounds. Those are still about two feet high a week since the last snow.

Origami Robot

I ONLY JUST SAW A SNOWPLOW IN REAL LIFE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE OTHER DAY

Jason Berkan

The snow in my front yard looks to be three or four feet deep. "K2" is six feet high.

@JasonBerkan Thank you for the refuel.

@JasonBerkan What's the distance they get?

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote Not sure - I only see the aftermath when I get home from work.

Grace Note

We have some kinda nice hills here but there's no proper slide room so it's not so much a good ride as it is a trip into the fence.

Or, well, in this particular case, the wintry mimicry of George of the Jungle.

Jason Berkan

But they only have about 8 feet before they hit the snowbank on the other side of the driveway.
