Reinstalled it today...  Still thinking about character options somewhat based on my Aura Stacking thread.

I'm pretty sure that they're going to try and have the Witch Doctor class replace the Necromancer, or so it seems. If that's the case, this game has already pissed me off.

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

LOL Anyways...

I'm crzyorgnictofu@USEast

I'm playing a druid (surprise, surprise) and I don't know what the hell I'm doing most of the time. I just hit things. And pick up things. I like playing with people though.  :D

People usually think that I've lost my mind. I haven't lost it, I know exactly where it is: the gutter.

My body is a temple. That is why I make chocolate sacrifices in it every day.

That's exactly how I play my necromancer  :D My summons kill everything in and out of sight, and all I do is pick up equipment , but it gets boring after a while... and the crappy resolution really messes up my eyes, so I havent played for the past week...

I used to love throwing up a bunch of summons, using that "thorns" aura that necros have, and then spamming Corpse Explosion once a couple of things died. That's about the fastest way to clear a room in the game, I think, at least at the higher difficulties. Revive Undead + "thorns" + Corpse Explosion = big mess

It's Iron Maiden, and yes it's a very good way to clear a room (still is, really).

That said, an actual Thorns Aura deals a whole lot more damage and lets you use either Amplify Damage or Decripfy on the enemies to deal a whole lot more damage on top of that.  It wasn't always as easy as it is today to get said Thorns aura, though.

I think so, but I think it's a little excessive.

A new class was announced @ BlizzCon - the Wizard.  It sounds like they're taking some ideas out of D&D with "Magic Missile" and "Disintegrate" skills.

That's not anything I'm even thinking about ATM.  What I'm going over in my head right now is how obnoxious it is that they're "not bringing back any more classes from previous versions" and then go "New Class: Wizard!"

I mean, I know there's a difference between Wizard and Sorcerer in D&D, but the terms are a matter of personal preference otherwise.

Furthermore, with all these new elements they're supposedly bringing out, resistances better be a bit easier to come by as well.

In all seriousness, if we're going with the iconic archetypes originally statted out in D2 then we're going have some original mechanics but very little in the way of truly original character concepts.

By the way, on Blendassins (Blade Fury Assassins):  Probably the best set up for them, weapon wise, is a one handed 6 socket weapon with Nef-Ber-Ber-Ber-Ber-Eth, if you can afford that, and then get the remaining 20% crushing blow on other gear (Goblin Toe?  Gore Riders?).  The Nef keeps enemies at bay while Eth makes sure you can actually hit.  This way you can use a nice high resist shield (I'm a fan of upped Wards with an Um socket).  Every shot takes out IIRC 1/16th of enemy life, making it easy to kill bosses even in hell.  Also, make sure you've got a maxed Shadow Master and a decent Death Sentry... kill one or two enemies, then blow up the rest.

There's a cheap Runeword (Thul Io Nef in any mace-class weapon) that's actually pretty good for that sort of strategy early on.  That said, there's no need to go overboard with the Ber runes; Crushing Blow isn't that hard to come by.  A Giant Skull, Blood Gloves, Goblin Toe, and the above weapon give a total of 80%-85% Crushing Blow, Knockback, and lots of other nice mods.  You can make it 95%-105% if you trade out the gloves and weapon for the epic Last Wish runeword (which does have 3 Ber-runes in it, by the way).
