Diablo III - General Discussion Thread

Thats cool, It would have been interesting if the group''s item drop and gold drop rate was shared or even put in a pot. Meaning that the over all drop rate goes way up if you have 4 players each with an average drop rate but it goes way, way up if you have 2 players with average and 2 with high drop rates.

This would have caused all kinds of issues for public games though.

Gold and Magic find is 'shared' between all players, your rate is equal to to the average of the group. This stops one person from just equipping all magic find items, being a complete gimp, and joining a public game where he gets carried by three others while he gets more loot.

You could always stack +Gold and Healthglobe pickup radius. No really, it is an item attribute. Thats the beauty of Diablo, you can play it the way YOU want to by building gear sets. The standards being high damage / survivability / MF+GF, but you can go as crazy as +movement speed build, or +crit chance+dmg or heck, even a +gold and healthglobe pickup radius build

Yeah I've seen the items that boost it and I am wearing one at the moment. I just feel that they should have increased the default radius just a little bit. Currently its almost detrimental if you don't boost it, and I'm not sure that's what they intended.

Ah, I knew drop rate increased when in MP but didn't know exactly how. Thanks for sharing dude.

Me and Grimspoon got our asses handed to us last night by a fucking spider. I had vampiric qualities and would suck life from us & spooners pets faster than we could damage it, even bringing the wizard didn't help, if was fucking impossible.

I am also starting to understand what people are saying about the Barb must have died once every 10 minutes.

[Crzwaco]

A I remember that one we had about 4 spiders with extra hp and Vampiric properties.

We all switched over to stun attacks and it was close call but nothing major.

The molten lava guys that is where it gets hairy thats the only time the whole team wiped.

So just another day in Hell, Act 3



Needless to say, about half a second after that screenshot I was dead.

What I picked up last night.

[Solitude]

I also picked up my first legendary last night. The sucky thing is that the rare weapon I had does more damage. I'm using the legendary though for a while just because it's my first one.
