Yes, Diablo III sorcerers are a very fun OMGWTFBBQ if you get a high DPS weapon. :-) Even better, get one with a socket and put in the best ruby you can afford. Rubies in weapons increase the base weapon damage, which is a very good thing! I spent quite a while using Shock Pulse with the Explosive Bolts rune not because it was a particularly good spell but because the resulting animation of exploding demons flying through the air was too much fun to pass up. Finished normal, happily starting nightmare!

I’m thinking of trying that, it would be less pain inducing on my left wrist.

Heh… yes bear, apperently you are the last into figure out the joys of reckless driving in the twin cities… for the record, you twin cities people are CRAZY drivers

As for D3, I’ve fallen in love with the witch doctor… and while yes, he has pets, his okay style is mire direct, using such great weapons as jars filled with spiders, and flaming hellish bat sprays… also zombies… how can you go wrong with zombies!?!?

Also, you’re suppose to do your business in the woods… not on a clean blog page… and thanks for getting me craving BBQ again.

One tip I’ve been offering my guild mates is to remap keys.

For my casters, I remap “shift” to “W”
For my melees, I remap “move” to “W”

For both, I remap “alt” to “E”

Just puts everything in convenient spots – and sometimes you just can’t move through a crowd without remembering to click on the far side of the screen… mapping the Move (which initially is only set to a mouse button) key has saved me from mob death on numerous occasions.

Also – for maximum customization, select ‘Elective Mode’ under Gameplay options to allow you to select which skills you want on your bar and mouse buttons. Sometimes it’s advantageous to have two different Primary abilities… Barbarian gets amazing when you have both Cleave and Frenzy available… speed up your attacks to 5 stacks of frenzy and then cleave like mad. You do sacrifice an ability, as you only get 6 slots… but some, like your 120 second cool down ‘boss fight’ power is a good candidate – and you can easily swap abilities around for bosses – maybe not use a secondary or something.

It’s been fun – beat Normal with my barbi last night… now I’m torn; do I continue through Nightmare or level up someone else. Options options :)

Oh, and Legendary (Orange uniques) are soul bound…

OMG, I know, right? I’m now level 18 on my Wizard and just finished Act I, and I JUST realized I can hold down shioft and the left button to chain cast my lightning blasts, while tapping right mouse in addition to toss of occasional arcane orbs.

I miss the black orbs, thought. My new weapon or glyph or whatever makes my orbs red, when they were black it looked like I was firing black holes at the bad guys. That was the best ever.

Hilarious article. I was playing D3 multiplayer on normal mode and I was the highest level demon hunter and the other demon hunter asked me what the best stats and spec was. I just told him go with what is fun its just normal mode.

Hehe, the melee DPS increasing your magical damage is a weird one eh?
Then try to figure out the relation between your prime stat (like dex or int) and your damage. And once you have that one under control, try a +damage ring. It completely messes up what you thought to have figured out.
And then on the follower it’s completely the other way around?

The stats are not really intuitive so far… Then again, I still remember ignoring hitrating far into my raids in WoW… Some things take time to grasp I guess…

It’s a great game so far, but it surely has some strange things going on for a starting player :)
