  2. patch 2.0.1 has been released on public test realm (PTR) , and Reaper of Souls closed beta has started...

     

    one of the intersting features besides loot 2.0 is going to be clan & communities support directly ingame..

     

    so I'm just wondering will there be a darkmatters community / clan aswell ?

     

    I really wish the update / addon could bring more people back together in one game, both from darkmatters and clan-DA ..

    I miss you guys, ever since Sacred 2 closed net had been shut down ;)

     

    cheers,

     

    Bob/James

     

    PS: I forgot.. here's a link to PTR 2.0.1 / RoS closed beta patch notes :

    Never left D3, and doubt that will happen any time soon. Would love to see some of yall on European servers.

  3. I read that you can buy influence for something like 100/10s. Also think I saw a few upgrades that gave a % increase in gaining influence.

    Looks like it is 1 influence per silver (Guild Promoter). That seems a little steep to me, at least in the beginning. It may be a steal later when we are drowning in coin.

    There were a couple of other Ice and Blood regulars who made noises about it, but they have not participated in any of the GW2 discussion in a long while.

     

    Edit:

    Added daemonrocks23.

     

    Heyas,

     

    I know that both Immali and Chrona will be there, Immali is trying to persuade me every day, so thats a sure one ;)

  4. Wow you guys are way ahead of me, I haven't been able to play much so I am pretty much playing SC when I get a chance to have a dabble. I want to explore every inch of the place and do every side quest I can find before I dip my toes into HC. So far the few times I have been able to play it has been enjoyable. I must wonder though at the replayable aspect of the game, is four acts enough for longevity, though I suppose they will bring out more modules or extenders, at least I hope so.

     

    From what I hear, there will be two expansions :D

  5. Heya,

     

    Both 60s are onehander + quiver, am building 3 other variants now. Not much to say about it yet, besides favoring onehander-quiver.

     

    2-handers are a bit slow, but their damage is better, and you can get alot of +attack speed. Quivers are actually a nice way to boost the damage.

     

    Dual wielding is a bit squishy. Check your damage, you'll often find that equipping a onehander and quiver will do more damage than dual, tho it looks GREAT! :D

     

    For now...I'd say, go for a onehander + quiver, get alot of VIT/DEX gear, and start equipping Resistance gear later on.

     

    A few skills for survival

    1. Vault - stun mod. The sun is nice when you accidentally vault into a mob. You can ofc use it on purpose.

    2. Rain of Vengeance - Stampede, These shadow creatures push back and damage your enemies, nice on bosspacks, giving you more time to smite them with ball lightning ;)

    3. Caltrops; early on I use immobilise, later on Bait the trap, for extra crits.

     

    I change passives a bit, depending on situation, there are some good combis

     

    Cull the weak - Archery - Sharpshooter is a good one, or Archery - Shapshooter - Steady aim, the latter I use the most.

     

    Hope this helps :D

  6. Barristan, tell us about your toons, how are they all doing!

    :)

    Heyas,

     

    ty for asking Gogo :)

     

    Well, after ofc a few failed experiments ;) Lost 51/57/60 I now have my goldfinder DH and magicfinder DH at level 60. Goldfinder is a little further along the way, does 34K damage, ~500 resist all. She is at skeleton king Inferno, but usually farm Arreat in Hell.

     

    Magicfinder was latest 60, does 25K damage, and has a little less resists. But finding alot of stuff .

     

    Since these are utility toons, and still have nice dmg, I am now building a few DH that will focus on pure damage-attackspeed-crits, see if I can break the 50K barrier...

     

    And... Building a monk and a Barb, since Immi and I are gonna need a few tanks for Inferno lol.

     

    Barr

     

    Ahh, another HC DH... yay!

    Can you tell me about how you built these out, and what skills yer using to get them to high levels? Did you play mostly with groups or solo'd to get DH up to level 60?

     

    :)

     

    gogo

     

    Heya Gogo,

     

    Don't forget to get Sharpshooter passive at level 50, then you'll be all good. For mobs, use Elemental arrow with Ball Lightning mod... it is DEVASTATING! (right mouse button)

    For single targets.... I use Hungering arrow - Shatter shot, and Rapid fire, web shot. Using Elective mode, you can have all 3.... pretty much good for any foe ;)

     

    Mostly getting to 60 is a bit of grinding, but nothing compared to Sacred2. Can get to 60 in well.... lets say 25 hrs?

     

    If your DH is well equipped, farming solo, and with a decent Templar its all good till ~Hell Act 3. From there on... either you get supreme gear, OR you need a tank at your side.

  7. Heyz,

     

    For my DH toons, I use the Templar. Give him 60K HP, so he stays alive. I use only the last heal-charge skill. Giving him the ability to slow and stun enemies with the other skills is quite nice for DH, as she does more damage to slowed enemies.

     

    For tanks, Monk-Barb, I use the enchantress.

     

    Havent really used the Scoundrel yet.
