Ugh, do we really need to have two questions, one for "what to save for Alts" and one for "what to save For alts and other reasons?" gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/69942/…
I have noticed that certain things, such as the spikes from Quill mobs and mortar fire are not influenced by Slow Time's 90% projectile slow. What other sorts of ranged attacks fall into this category?
I've started a run on Nightmare with my Witch Doctor, and I noticed that although I've started with all of my followers and artisans from the beginning, I still have quests that involve me meeting them for the first time.
In the Blacksmith's case, he just disappeared from his workshop and I ha...

In Diablo II, some "random" dungeons could be rapidly navigated by simply following the right wall like the Forgotten Tower. Are there any rules that can be applied in Diablo III to breeze through dungeons with a minimum of dead-ends and loops?
Frequently, playing the Scout in TF2, I hear this phrase:
Thanks pally!
What does the pally in this sentence indicate? Is it his imaginary friend? A paladin? Is it a nickname for something?
I know my question is worded horribly...
H
{o}
D S
The S in this case is the sentry.
The D is a demoman, running towards sentry with Grenade Launcher.
The H is a heavy, firing at the sentry.
The o is a scout, and he is concurrently capping a point ({}signifies a ...
Is there any way you can find NPC villages in your world? Assuming the map isn't superflat, is it more or less going off in different directions, or are there clues or hints towards the villages?
I wasn't really paying attention until last night when I started Inferno, and I noticed the zombies outside of town had health that ranged from 60,000 to 85,000, with no two hp bars being the same amount (based on about 20 zombies)
This got me wondering, is a monster's stats randomized within a ...
I married Jenassa and chose to live at her house (I have to live there first then move to one of my own houses to get the Lover's Comfort bonus with her). Since she doesn't have her own house the game sends me to her default location, The Drunken Huntsman. Even the Misc. Quest "Visit your spouse'...
I am playing the game NiBiRu: Age of Secrets and have noticed that numerous 2.25MB files have been building up in the game directory with filenames of the form grab####.BMP. The files have a bitmap signature in the header, but the rest of the file is just nulls and so are not proper bitmap files ...
@Oak Thanks. I'd been reading this stuff for the last few days prepping my Barbarian for Inferno and figured I should just spew it out into an answer.
Questions like that are kind of tough to answer though, since a lot of it is conjecture. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's how shields work, but not 100%. Because Blizzard doesn't really ever confirm anything.
Q:1 If I play a Wizard/Witch Doctor in Diablo III, I should stack up on intelligence (As oppsed to the Demon Hunter who'd go after Dexterity, the Barbar after Strength etc...). In the detailed Stats- Menu it says, Intelligence causes damage to be increased by 25%. My question is: 25% of what? I w...
I've noticed that Leap with the Death from Above rune seems to stun normal monsters for a much longer time than champions in inferno.
Is there a CC length reduction against different mob types in the higher difficulties of Diablo 3? If so, how much of a reduction is it?
I am really interested in the actual calculations behind damage, how stats increase as well as dodging calculations (when does an enemy miss, when is a dodge successful etc..) are there any resources related to those details? Is Diablo based on a Role-Playing-System (such as GURP) whose calculati...
@agent86 Perhaps Sir Alec Guinness was just hating his life at that moment.
Reportedly hated working on Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) so much, Guinness claims that Obi-Wan's death was his idea as a means to limit his involvement in the film. Guinness also claims to throw away all Star Wars related fan mail without even opening it.
@EBongo yes, I feel like I've read this somewhere as well. seems to be a pretty common theme among sci-fi actors (see also: Nimoy, although he came around some years later)
This question contains spoilers for anyone who has not yet finished Diablo 3, so if you have not, STOP READING NOW unless you don't care about such things.

Okay, at the end of D3 after killing Diablo, we are given a cut scene of Tyrael deciding to re-take his place in Heaven's council "as a...
it's like raid 0 extends, raid 1 duplicates, you can mix and match if you're like rich and then there's raid 5 and 6 for those with a lot of money to burn
Which is better in the start of a Starcraft II match?
Build a worker and then split or vice versa; split workers then build worker
If they each have their own benefits please list them!
I was watching "Indie Game: The Movie" a few weeks back, and it had Phil Fish complaining about one of the original developers (I assume co developer) screwing him over with legal troubles, etc. Throughout the movie he bad mouths the guy but they never name him and always blur out pictures of him...
@badp Performance problems can be so severe that some database experts have formed a group called BAARF — the Battle Against Any Raid Five.[12] -- hehehe :)
@agent86 Trying to find out how many it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop?? :)
@agent86 I've edited the title of your last question. If you really want it back the way it was, you can roll it back, but it wasn't a very searchable title.
@OrigamiRobot I came up with a very interesting monk build. I bought a weapon was better than both equipped weapons combined, so I decided to use a shield and see what I could do without focusing dodge.
I am wondering if there is any particular factor that determines the glow of a weapon in Diablo 3.
Right now I have 2 one-handed weapons equipped, and both have a red dripping blood effect. One is a sword, the other is a spear. One does holy damage while the other does poison damage. One has a r...
The Witch Doctor "Hex" skill as a rune "Angry Chicken" where I can temporarily transform my corporeal form into that of a deadly exploding chicken. Fun, right?
However, I can't seem to figure out how to make my chicken explode. He just sort of stands there, or flaps about. Clicking on things ...
leveling seems too vague; it applies to every RPG (and most FPS nowadays). At one point, going by the synonyms, it used to be more focused on power-leveling, which I would consider something distinct than leveling in general. Now, however, because it's there people seem to use it if their quest...
@GnomeSlice lol, I only needed .2 seconds to make the choice. "Bigger number is higher but hasn't got quite as much blue stuff. Not quite as much blue stuff at all. Scrap"
@badp I had given mine an 'ice' arrow skill at one point, but it uses it so infrequently it's not worth it. I'd recommend a 'heal all' and a summon zombies or skeletal archers.
I was never very good at the maths parts of RPG games like this.
;_;
@badp have you noticed that you basically don't get the opportunity to max out any of your old skills if you want to actually make use of the newer ones?
There are way too many skill levels and not enough levelling.
@badp Me neither, but like, I love the Ice Ball spell, and it's the second or third one I learned as an alchemist. It's not even as good as my normal attacks any more
besides a lot of skills aren't that enticing. I've maxed out Adventurer (bonuses to gold experience fame and magic finds), I'm maxing out Slash Attack and will max out Pet Mastery. Dunno afterwards
you say? I've gathered all of my gems and although there's a bunch of them looking alike, some are level "1", some are level "2", some are level 4 and I can't transmute any of them
In act 2 of Diablo III there are vulture-like monsters that circle in the air around the hero until they spot a "weakness", and then they swoop down to attack. What is the definition of "weakness", and is there anything I can do to force them down earlier, when I'm not at a disadvantage?
In call of duty: modern warfare 3 when playing multiplayer. You can select at weapon level 20 the shotgun attachment.
How do you fire it?
does it happen automatically or do you need to use a hot-key ?
I have a wizard and I want use him to kite around the enemies. I am wondering whether the slowing 60% snare from blizzard with rune will stack with the 30% snare from Temporal Flux, if I hit the target with a magic missile.
Does anyone know how reflect damage actually works? Is it a set amount per difficulty? A set percentage? Some combination of the two? Can life steal overcome the reflect damage enough that on average no life is lost or do the two stack in such a way the the reflected damage hits before the ti...
From time to time I'll see an article that talks about how amazing the SNES's sound chip was. I agree with the assessment: synthesized music was better on the SNES than it was on any other console, including the N64 or PS1. I'm thinking especially of Final Fantasy VI; in that game, the synth trum...
When playing multiplayer in COD: MoW3 on the PC you are able to select strike packages when creating a class. How do you execute them during multiplayer?
I've noticed that every now and then (as a Wizard with a Templar follower) I regain health unexpectedly occasionally, with the health globe sound. In these cases I'm not moving, so it's not a health globe I didn't notice. Is my follower potentially collecting health globes for us when he's runn...
I just played with a friend that was joking around with a Magic Finding build (all his items give him magic finding) and it seemed like I had better drops, even if I'm not the one with the magic find.
I'm used to multiplayer, so I'm comparing with some games I had with another player that I do n...
I want to try a build (for fun, not practical use) with maximum Spirit regen—what items and skills should I equip? What is the maximum possible rate of Spirit regeneration once all of these perks are in use?
