[Diablo 3] Diablo walks the Earth in 5 days. Single digits omg

I'm I okay? Or is something fucked up? Have I completely downloaded and installed the game? Do I just need to patch it on day 1 and I'm ready to go? Or do I still need to go through a proper installation process, and something's wrong?
Can't install till release, so you're fine.
I'm thinking about it
The more enemies which attack me the stronger I will become! Multiple fetish armies, legions of toads, everything turned into an exploding chicken! I shall never even see a non chicken foe.
Also you would want a big slow weapon to get he most out of each dog blowing up.

Your primary skill is Arcane Torrent. Not only does AT slow (via passive), it also boosts damage by 15%. Then you slap them the fuck down with Disintegrate and they explode. If someone gets too close, you Arcane Explosion until you're in trouble and tele out.
If immunities are as much a pain in the ass to deal with in D3 as they are in D2, you drop Arcane Orb for Wave of Force or something.
I'm going to be sad if you can miss some of the journal entries for good, too. I always skip Leah's #2. Suppose you can try again each difficultly, though.
Naw, that ain't no chain lightning.
Used to play a Warrior online in Diablo I, CL Wizards killed me every time. At least when the fireballs came I could try to stand off to the side or something, there was no escape from chain lightning.
what if we don't survive, jay
what if that's just what diablo wants us to think
moreso what if amazon doesn't deliver the package until late? or... wednesday?
And pray that Best Buy actually ships me the CE.

Listen friend, you can just say stuff like that in here... what if there's a stampede?
I have delivery date shipping from Amazon.
But even then, it won't arrive till the afternoon.
It means that I'll be hours behind everyone else who ever plays the game. Makes me sad.
how many times will diablo 3 come out. it might be worth the dough to play it on time.
also that zombie dog build someone posted just made me want to play with doctor. the synergy of it. I just wanna play.
I'm quite sure that when calculating weapon % damage it uses the damage per second of a weapon, so daggers will be just as apt *need confirmation*
I do too man, I guess it looks like we'll actually have to work most of that day.

I think it really depends on the type of the skill for how it shakes out between fast and slow weapons. In general, from what I've seen it seems like high speed weapons will hit/cast faster with lower damage per individual hit, while slower weapons will cast slower with more damage per hit. So for something like a basic unruned arcane missile DPS will be pretty much all that matters, but for one shot effects limited by more than just cast speed the damage per hit will matter more.
A lot of the skills seem to break down where some will be better for the slower weapons, while others will go the other way or just be roughly equal. Like with the channeled beam spells, the damage ticks faster with faster weapons, but the resource usage ticks faster too. So the DPS will be indifferent to cast speed, but fast weapons will eat up a lot more of your resources.
Why the 22nd? CE? Didn't pick release date shipping?
You're not alone -J-. Mine may show up at around 5:30pm. But I look at it as it giving the servers a chance to pick themselves up after being down all day. Or if they are up and running smoothly UPS better just hate my neighbors and when they showed up so late a few days ago was a fluke. I can never remember when they show up for me...
I pre-ordered it back in October or something and when I checked lately there's no 'release day' shipping available. It needs to be sent to an APO address though, which pretty much screws me on that. So I'm debating whether or not to pick up a digital copy so I can install that day. Only problem then is what am I going to do with the CE? I can understand having two account in WoW or something, but it seems pointless in D3. I think the best option will be to check out my store on the 15th to see if they have any CE's, then I could snag one of those and just send the other one back to Amazon or gift it or something.

I have release date shipping on mine, you can change the shipping options on an existing order. It could entirely be the APO address screwing you, as well.
But that means they can focus on shipping mine quicker! Silver lining, yeah?!
A few weeks ago I finally made it to Duriel and he kicked my ass. I died about 10 times before giving up, and I didn't touch the game again until a few days ago. I started grinding my Barbarian up a little more and giving better gear to my henchman and decided that I was ready to face Duriel once again.
Turns out I wasn't ready! Oh well. I'm not using a guide, so I probably specced my character out poorly anyway.

Pretty much based around maximum summons all the time together with Vision Quest. Vision Quest seems perfect for a summoner, since I can keep it up constantly by just resummoning my monsters at every opportunity. I might switch dart for spiders if it turns out that summon collision and lag is not an issue, and charger for fire bats if that turns out to do much more damage. VQ should give me plenty of regen, I just need a big damage spell to dump it with.
looking for baal?
To me, the WD seemed like an awful class when they first announced it. Nothing about it excited me, in fact I think I kind of hated it because it felt like they were replacing the Necro with the WD, which upset me. After playing the open beta though, I honestly think it might be my first class. Like I said before, none of them really excite me like the D2 classes did, but I will admit the spider jar and even the blow gun were pretty fun. One problem I had though, is that it seemed grasp of the dead worked way better as a snare than caltrops does, which seems a little disappointing.

Just to make sure you guys know, it's 12am PDT. So us folk on the east coast have to wait until 3am to play it.
I'm also in the same situation, ordered CE on Amazon. I'm gonna go to work on Tuesday instead of waiting at the door for it to show up.

I know from watching that clip that non-summoner WDs are intended to be completely viable, and I think it could actually be pretty powerful. Maybe something like this? I don't know. I haven't given it much thought; that's like, 100% off the top of my head, lol.
Seems like it could be pretty mean.
Living in the city, the closest Gamestop is in the middle of the mall 25-ish blocks away. Since it's in a mall, I highly doubt there's any kind of midnight event going on there, and even if there was the SEPTA subway stops around 12:20am.
I also get Amazon Student at Drexel which came with Amazon Prime for a free 6 months, and a discounted price from there on. So, I just default to Amazon and have my stuff come to me rather than me going to it.
Whether or not that was a good decision for D3....only time will tell =p.

It's all about the in-game wings and the art book for me. Big treasures for a franchise that I love. I need to have them.
