The tags for questions concerning Diablo 3 characters look very redundant like this: diablo-3 diablo-3-demon-hunter For Starcraft there is no starcraft-1-terran and starcraft-2-terran. It is just terran. I understand that the term demon hunter is used in multiple games and selecting just dem...

Shock Pulse with Piercing Orb fires at what appears to be a very low speed compared to Electrocute with Lightning Blast. Shock Pulse runed is listed to have 105%wd piercing, and Electrocute has 80%wd piercing. Does the attack speed (animation?) matter for these two spells? It seems to me that f...

How does selling commodities differ from selling equipment? When you sell a commodity such as crafting materials or gold, you select a stack size and a buyout price, and the auction house automatically adds the items to a unified marketplace pool. When a potential buyer searches for that ite...

The question is pretty much in the title. After finally beating Hell with my Witch Doctor, I was interested in knowing if there is a way to look up how many deaths it took to get there.

I can't find where to view cinematics that I have "unlocked" (by having them occur naturally for game progress). Am I just missing it?

The "Market Research" achievement requires that you meet the following traveling merchants: Wandering Tinker Rodger the Alchemist Vendel the Armorsmith Adenath the Curio Vendor Kyr the Weaponsmith Zaven the Alchemist Larra Halmin the Alchemist Where are these merchants l...

I am only missing the Black Mushroom to have all the ingredients for the "Staff of herding". So I have to try and get it. The problem is it is unclear where it drops. So sources say you find it in Level 1,2 and 4 of the Cathedral in Act I. There are also some pictures of people finding the Black ...

The "But You Can't Hide" achievement requires that you kill 100 enemies while they are running away. How can I make enemies flee in order to get the achievement?

Achievements such as the Monk's "Like Water" (Dodge 15 attacks in a row) don't rely on a class-specific skill. Does this mean that they can be earned with any class?

I just started back on Nightmare, and I have all my followers and my upgraded forge right there, in the town center. But I can't find the jeweler... where is he?

I noticed that when Diablo's life gets really low (not sure the exact %, but it's below 5%) during the final stage of fighting him, he will simply stop attacking and sit there, usually in some strange "I'm dying" position Is there a reason for this? The only thing I've used it for so far is to ...

The ability "Rend" makes your target bleed for 3 second. What happens if you consequently use the spell? Will the damage stack or is it a waste of rage to use the spell consequently?

Some items have movement speed and some characters have movement speed buffs or skills. What is the fastest movement speed you can have in Diablo 3?

Some items have extra gold find and if you socket correctly you can get gold find on that too. What is the highest gold find percentage you can get and which items, spells, gems do you need to get that? Are there any classes that change this too?

I know when you enter "/?" it gives you a few, but generally that is just a sampling. For example in WoW there were literally hundreds of different ones, some with corresponding animations or voices. I'd like to know if there is a full list available anywhere, or if anyone knows of some beyond th...

Plague of Toads Primary Cost: 34 Mana Release a handful of toads that deal 130% weapon damage as Poison to enemies they come in contact with. So is it 130% dmg per frog or its all 3 frogs combine?

I'm currently a level 56 demon hunter with a crossbow and quiver. The best quivers I've seen give significant damage boosts, although with my bow it's not necessary (able to kill normal mobs relatively quickly on Hell difficulty). I've read that using a shield as your off-hand, typically somethin...

The description of the Jinx rune is a little unclear, and therefore I'm uncertain if it increases the additional damage of Hex by 20% to a total of 30%, or if it only increases it by 10% to a total of 20%. How much does Jinx increase the additional damage buff provided by Hex?

I'm building a tanking Monk, however I have not yet found a shield worth using. I'm currently in Hell (level 53 I think) and am finding that the faster spirit generation caused by duel wielding (increased attack speed) is better than a little extra armor (good shields my level are around 400-500...

In Diablo 3, with the Witch Doctor's Poison Dart on the left click and a 1 handed mace equipped, does the Poison Dart do more damage with a regular weapon equipped?

I am a bit confused by a couple of the runes from the Monk ability "Seven Sided Strike" On the one hand, you have "Sudden Assault" which deals 1007% damage in the normal seven strikes. On the other hand, you have "Several Sided Strike" which increases the number of hits to 9. The community-wi...

Diablo is followed shortly by Diablo II and Diablo III comes 20 years after that, but how old is the world of Sanctuary as a whole? According to some timelines, III occurs in 1285, but did the counting of the years start with the creation of Sanctuary or the winking into existence of the High H...

In Torchlight 2 there are something like 6 pets to choose from. Are these pets any different in ability or is it just an aesthetic difference?

My Barbarian loves cleaving skulls, but cleaving skulls is also dangerous because I am right in the middle of the action. The Templar follower has several heals at his disposal. They have a cooldown, although I don't know what it is exactly, and there have been several close calls (and a few unfo...

In the new Portal 2 Perpetual Testing Initiative is it possible to create chambers that are playable in the co-op mode? If not at present, has Valve made any announcements to introduce this?

I've recently decided to switch up my monk build to be more of a tank than a damage dealer. But I'm struggling to do so effectively. I know I need a good balance of mobility, survivability, awareness, and utility to handle the unexpected twists and turns of big battles, but finding the right set ...

Does it apply for all non-elemental attacks, or is there more going on here?

I'll be spending quite some time on one of those specific locations on Earth where connections may or may not be faster not depending on geo-distance but on several other factors. Anyone knows the IP's of Blizzard Battle.net servers from: USA Europe Asia Australia So that I can ping them a...
