Today I decided to do a more in depth comparison and ran through Dread Legion solo in mod 15 early this morning to get a baseline. I completed it in 11 minutes and 15 seconds without any deaths and no real difficulty. I've been doing it for quite a while. Then I tried it in mod 16 at level 75. OMG! I got slaughtered by the…
@obsidiancran3 I rebuilt my toon and then completed 3 DHE's, Death Forge and Dread Spire in Dread Ring quickly and without falling. However, those stupid armless rotters got me twice! LOL! Then, I went to IWD and took on Biggrin, 6 Frost Giants, 8 young Rhemorhaz and two more DHE's. I fell 3 times in Biggrins Tomb, but…
@obsidiancran3 thanks for sharing. I noticed a couple of things I'm going to try. When I first set up these toons on the first day I think there were a couple of issues that have since been fixed if what I saw in your build is true. However, I had forgotten about it and didn't make any changes since then. I'm going to try…
Just to clarify @obsidiancran3, I did 1 round of 3 Demonic HE's in Dread Ring solo successfully using the style of play I usually use without too much trouble and I turned it in to the Demon Hunter. Then, I tried Dread Forge and got to the final battle with Jawbone where I lost 6 times and had to give up. Then, I got…
The character I used was a level 73 Blade Master (DPS) 15,000 IL and an earlier loadout of the same character at level 70 with 9000 IL. My philosophy or style of play with GFW (Barbie) is paint yourself blue, set your hair on fire and charge the enemy while yelling at the top of your lungs, if they don't run in fear then…
I went back to a loadout from when I was still a pretty new level 70 character. I had just gotten my first decent armor and all brand new artifacts, but had not gotten artifact weapons yet. I had earned my new armor by farming Demon Heroic Encounters for rings and dungeons for AD that I used to buy the League Armor from…
I wanted a better understanding of what was actually going on, so I wrote a parser for the CombatLog.log file and started gathering facts. My GWF in Mod 15 (live) has a DPS of 50,000 on average with an IL of about 12,000. As a Barbarian in Mod 16 with an IL of about 15,000 and now level 73 my average DPS is 2,500. That's…
I read quite a few of the existing posts and it's good to hear most everyone is in the same boat with a Barbarian (formerly GWF). However, it was even better to hear that the devs are aware of the situation and will be addressing it over the next few weeks. I like many of the changes in Mod 16 and think they'll simplify…
Hi all! This is my first post to any of these forums, although I have played for a while now. Feedback I have been play testing the changes to professions and I like them for the most part. I was a bit shocked at first due to how massive the changes are, but they're easy to learn, make good sense and are more fun to play…
