i love seals, they're easily some of the funniest creatures I've had the pleasure of annoying.

especially when they rub up against your leg in murky water then pop up in front of you and make you fall off your board cause you shit your pants so hard.

Cleared act 2 before heading to work. Great game so far. I was planning on skipping cinematics like almost every game, but just couldn't. Incredible story and scenes and the character art is ridiculously good.

I have no idea. I never played the other diablo games. It's pretty fun as a single player story, but is good co-op'ing with other people. I think the only downside to playing casually is that items you loot will be worth less than they were 2 weeks earlier, etc.

It would seem that all the negative reviews stem from the service issues at launch.

Regardless of what people like to believe, the amount of people trying to dl/play at launch would cause issues for anyone so I am going to hold judgement till I actually can play the game without hiccups.

Lvl 33 DH and I'm almost finished with Nightmare Act 1, and I've gotta say, this game is fantastic. It's also just so much better with a full too.. sharing the loot specified for your each char respectively makes it so much more fun.

25 barb, i was getting really frustrated on act one, but once I got regen skills - i'm pretty much blowing through everything without dying. Looking forward to nightmare (I think?)

So, I think the key to playing barb is to stack def stats (vitality, armor, resist, str) and use enchantress or scoundrel to do damage. I was going with damage thinking that a shield would be enough reduction, then I noticed that switching one item from str primary to vit primary boosted my hp by like 25%. Didn't have a problem with str primary in normal, but I was getting dumped on in nightmare and definitely needed to switch to higher hp and less damage.
Honestly, haven't even tried dual-wield/2h with templar because the thing was pretty worthless when I tried to use it.

Theworst · Post by **Theworst** » Thu May 17, 2012 12:03 pm

Once you hit level 24 as a barbarian, its smooth sailing from that point on.

Primary: Frenzy with Triumph rune.
Secondary: Rend with Blood Lust rune.
Defensive: Ignore Pain
Might: Revenge with Vengeance is Mine rune.
Tactics: Threatening Shout with Intimidate rune.
Rage: Earthquake.

Passive Skills: Bloodthirst and Inspiring Presence.

The self healing from this build is extremely amazing.

-Keeping up rend on trash packs to gain the most out of Blood Lust.
-Frenzy spam to gain the 8% health over six seconds.
-Revenge when its procced(use it situational, pointless to use on one target if you have a pack coming up with 4+ mobs, you net more health hitting 4 targets)
-Threatening Shout on large mob packs and with Inspiring Presence, you're gaining 1% of your health every second.

Currently running that build with two one handers since I'm still rolling in non-nightmare mode at the moment but nightmare will require you to run a shield and a one hander. From 52-60, you'll want to run;

Primary: Frenzy with Triumph rune.
Secondary: Rend with Blood Lust rune.
Defensive: Ignore Pain with Ignorance is Bliss rune.
Might: Revenge with Provocation rune.
Tactics: War Cry with Invigorate rune.
Rage: Wrath of the Berserker with Striding Giant rune.

also picking up, Nerves of Steel as your third passive skill.

Once you reach 60, you basically have the choice between a heavy self healing build or running a lighter self healing build and picking up a lot of dodge talents from runes and picking up Tough as Nails. This will make you avoid most damage and you are able to swap out some healing talents for more damage.
