The Great Barbarian March

Dear Diablo 3 Fans

The other night I had a fleeting thought about the state of Diablo 3. I noticed that there was a increase in the amount of new players after the game went on sale. I love playing Diablo 3 and I really want more and more people to play with. It sucks starting the game out with nothing when 60 is where everyone needs to be to start playing.

On that note I want to rush only barbarians because there are such an awesome class and I think the more people play with a particularly good class blizzard will fix the other classes so they have a similarly enjoyable to play on MP10.

On that note I am offering Free rushing service to Barbarians from what ever level to 60. atleast 3 need to be in a group. My battle net account is Lenbot#1273 feel free to add for some rushing tonight and whenever I am online and willing to comply.

I had also a fleeting thought that it would be interesting if an expansion followed something along the lines of a great barbarian march. Everything takes place on Mount Arreat in diablo 2 and 3. The story would revolve around the fact that all the old hell lords have been killed bout a Barbarian or whatever class Nephalem walked into hell and gained control over it all  with the Black Soul stone remnants. After piecing it together with some blood magic, they reign over hell and the barbarians March to stop the new lord of hell. Upon stopping the New lord of hell they release all the old daemons fixing the diablo 3 mistake obviously and resetting everything back to what it was and new Mythology can follow as a result of everything that has gone on.

That is my idea, thanks for reading

May Cain be with you.

P.s. leave a comment if you support this idea.

The love hate relationship with Diablo III

Lets get this straight, Diablo III is a good game. It's not excellent but it's good. Now there is no other game like Diablo III other than Diablo II. Let's focus on Diablo II for a moment and then step into Diablo III.

The Gameplay: Now it's been awhile and I haven't played since the Dupe hammer was put down but the game was straight forward. You grinded your ass off for level 99 and the chance to find rare, legendary items. The cow level was the bread and butter everyone played over and over in hopes to find something but mostly for XP and to find other players. There was Mephisto runs, baal runs and few others that people played over and over.
Multiplayer: You just played with other people because it made the grind fun, the downside was whoever clicked fastest could get a decent item.

Trading items: You never and I repeat ever traded for gold unless you didn't care. It was harder to come by a lot of money,but most people were happy and you could always go and farm for a bit and have a nice sum. Everyone traded items Always, Usually you were hoping to trade up but usually you got what you could find. Stone of jordans were the currency of that game when I played it was a decent item the fluctuated due to duping. usually max 10 SOJ's could get you end level gear, and 20 you could get near perfect. You worked your way up trading what you found till you could afford to get an SOJ to trade or trade for the item you wanted.

The Items: Okay so here is a huge, gigantic difference between II and III, Rare legendary items were harder to come by. You didn't count how many you could get per hour it was more like per week. The items that dropped were always, and I repeat always worth something to someone and this is where the trading up came in. The stats were always usually similar to others if not the same I can't remember.

Side note:It was easy to speed level to 60 with the help of rushing then you were on your own to continue the grind. I don't know how many times I quit that game deleted my characters and restarted over again. Within maybe 50 hours minimum I would be back to close to what I had. Usually you would play with 4 people for the enjoyment of having people in game, and although usually solo was not a problem. The cow level usually was a problem for most players which is why people played together. If anyone played during these times, everyone can remember who has leg? or lets go get the leg.

Diablo III


The Gameplay: I played solo without AH to Inferno and my game time was 60 hours approximately playing as a monk. I had found 2 legendary that were worth nothing to me or anyone.Inferno was were I wanted to be but my gear just got me through hell. I tried playing with other people but I was an embarrassment. So I had to Solo Inferno for gear or items to trade up. Learn the alkaizer run to a science rinse and repeat over and over. 20 legendary later and countless hours, I was no where, still no good items I had traded up to around 30k DPS and had  on average approximately 1-3 mill in my account most times. Grinding was a chore

Trading Items: I never even realized until I had spent approximately 20million that I could in trade with game with people.  Items values are based on gold, currency is easy to come by and grind but any end game items are Hundreds of millions.So it becomes a game of gold and real money. So I Spend 140 bucks trying to figure out how to equip my player.There are tutorials online on how make gold on the auction house. This isn't Diablo it's Game of Action House

The Items: I find Legendary like candy, First two weeks of MP1 I find probably about 10 but something like 5 I had to turn into brimstone because it was worth more. The other items fetched probably 500 apiece.

Side Note: I looked up how to play a barbarain, Rushed him to 60 with gold I bought on the AH. Copied the 500 million dollar budget barb by moldran. Began to play MP10 easily enough and started to sit back and enjoy the game. Still find Useless Legendary but way more often, becomes pointless because I have best gear and I can look for a chance to find better gear for myself or crafting chances and that makes me want more of Diablo III


The difference: Both games are good, and went over many patches to get where they were. When I started Diablo II it was almost polished, Diablo III is getting there. Gold needs no value in this game, The price of radiant star emeralds should be the currency for item exchanges. They through all the gold duping and farming will remain fairly consistent. And are almost like SOJ's.Legendary should feel like it, they should roll better stats consistently. And the truth is Blizzard is changing  this http://www.shacknews.com/article/78086/diablo-3-devs-looking-at-legendary-item-auction-house-changes. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/8953696 .


In conclusion I believe this game is getting there, don't complain it will come just as diablo II came through all it's patches. Atleast these are free and not DLC. The barbarian Infinite WOTB needs a tweek but that is for another post.

Until then May Cain be with you. 

Infinite Wrath of the Beserker

It appears I missed the memo on Barbarian play. Wrath of the Beserker when activated brings DPS or atleast mine to 480k with Rending at 700% weapon damage this eliminates enemies quickly. The only problem I had in the past was that when activated Wrath of the Beserker would eventually end. Watching Moldran play I could tell I was doing something wrong but wasn't sure what and I was happy with my Barbarian and played as I thought everyone was. Turns out that Wrath of the Beserker you can extend the play with Thrive on Chaos, for every 25 fury gained you extend the play. The problem is when you have full fury you cannot gain any more fury and thus begins your countdown of Wrath of the Beserker, this is what I didn't realize. All you have to do is spend your fury quickly so you can add more. Thus lowering your fury so you can add another 25. Run like hell is my favorite to spam.

Good Luck and may Cain be with you!

Diablo III Mp10 Barb Gear

Diablo III is a game of chance but with the auction house you can gear your character for MP10 easily. First I would like to say that if you have never played Diablo III before you should consider playing a barbarian. The reason behind this is that your going to find a lot of information on the internet and it is a very power full class to start with. To play Diablo III you want to eliminate the auction house out the game. You play to have fun, not to find frustration. 


When I first started playing I started with a monk but realized quickly it was  poor class choice I spent countless hours trying to increase my gold and gear to play MP10 better. After that failed quickly and nearly $200.00 spent on the RMAH I switch my tactics. I wanted to play MP10 solo with little to no frustration from my gear and I didn't want to be searching for way to increase my gold. I wanted it to flow in naturally, as in find as many legendarys as possible and sell them. So even though I completed this strategy as of 2 weeks ago as of this writing it is even easier respectively.

First you have to accept if you want to Gear up for MP10 and you have zero experience in the game or hours logged in you will have to pay out of pocket on the RMAH . I spent approximately 36 dollars total to accomplish this. Originally I bought Radiant Star emeralds with real money and sold them for gold which left me with approximately 720 million gold. Right now you can purchase a billion for the same price. Now I am not saying you can do this for less which is possible but I wanted it immediately and I payed a bit more.  I went to Moldran profile and copied all his stats on his armour. http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Moldran-2176/hero/272819. I then tried to find similiar items on the auction house. I payed close attention to Strength, Crit chance, Vitality, Crit damage and resistance to all. Although it was a working gear set for him, what I found it didn't work for me. So I  geared up in the only sensible gear.

I bought Immortal Kings set which changed the game for me so I could play MP10 easier. I then had to set up my gear so that I could play with less skill since I haven't played nearly as many hours as him. The end result was a Barbarian that can solo MP10 easily. Here is my gear. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/lenbot-1273/hero/32518076 Try to copy every detail including copy the skills that I use. Then go to this video I made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCCkZSldPOg which shows how strong this build is. Try to Rend about every 5 seconds then use whirl wind. you should have no problem playing MP10 as a beginner to Diablo II

I will be later putting up a build for MP10 With only 10 -20 million Gold. I believe this is possible and can be achieved through using no real money and just grinding which I will explain how to get.

Good luck and may Cain be with you!
