Basically what WoW calls "duel speccing" and what Guild Wars simply offers exactly the above. I want to at least save my "mob build" and my "boss build", and switch back and forth with a simple shortcut. Like they let us do with duel speccing.

Going into NM-Act-3 and I am finding that VIT is amazingly important. I was dealing decent damage, but I was too squishy, and any encounter with Champions with absurd mods would often result in "Bad Things".
Capping my DPS at 1100+, I started to stack VIT and went from 4000+hp to 10000+hp and sweet Aiur... what a difference! I may not be able to blow up minions in one hit any more, but I can kite them indefinitely through Blizzard and Hydra. Definitely taking notes for my eventual Hardcore character(s). I also have a regeneration rate of 90-100hp/s due to the Galvanizing Ward passive. Using Energy Armor for the +65% armor modifier. With it active, I have about -46% damage reduction from equal level monsters. The thing about monsters in Diablo 3 is that there is no aggro mechanic. You simply cannot assume that a Monk or Barbarian can grab all the monsters' attention. Add in mods like Vortex, and your character MUST be able to survive sudden melee situations, or DIE. Cheers.

Also, most of the development team is ingame but no achievement for killing em. Quote:
As for holding mobs, Monk is pretty good at pulling loose group into one nice AOE pack with Cyclone Strike and Barbarian can taunt and pull as well... of course that's assuming they dont get gibbed. I got 50%+ dmg reduction and 45% dodge and healing ability, there's still places where i need to gtfo till my potion/heal cd refresh.

The F2P model is also gaining massive support from developers, so starting price may not be an argument in the long run. Nevertheless, we're surely seeing the video game transform from a product (store bought, self-contained good - yours to keep and use on your own terms) to a service (like an amusement park. You pay for the rides you go on, and you're constrained by operating hours and potential downtime. When the park closes for good, it's nothing but a good memory). |

Hackers are currently working on server emulation patches for the game, it won't be long now. When will activison/blizzard learn that DRM is not a smart business model. The only thing it does is complicate the lives of the costumers.

Make sure you're prepared before making the leap.
Currently Lvl-48 and grinding the last section of NM-A3 for XP and gold. Will move on to NM-A4 at Lvl-51. Venom Hydra is absurdly good against stationary targets. The poison pools stack... Natch.

Also you can say it won't be long now, but even the servers trying to run the beta never even worked properly and the beta was around for months. I doubt you'll see a working offline version of D3 anytime soon.

I mean I understand your anger over the whole DRM and everything but always online internet isn't a big deal for the markets that Blizzard usually markets to; Europe, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and US.
