Diablo 3 Patch 2.0.1 finally here!

Man, the game is amazing. I have never played a Diablo game before but damn, game addictive. Last Friday I played from 7pm straight through to about after 1am. Cant recall when last I did that. Last night too, thought I'd play for a few mins.....2 hours later....
 
This game should come with those warnings they put on cigarettes.

WARNING Product can be addictive!​

Busy with my 2nd playthrough with my barb and another with a wizard. Also, game looks incredible, was able to recently upgrade my GPU and playing it on 1920 x 1080 with everything else on max.

Guys, can someone please help me with this. I know with D&D RPGs dual wielding sometimes carries a penalty. How is it handled in D3?

Say I have two 1 handed weapons that does 150 DPS each, does thar equal a two handed weapon that does 300 damage? Of course ignoring attacks per second and magical secondary damages.

I'm hopeless noob, enjoying D3 and would like to get the most out of it. For instance, only found out I can give my companions better weapons when I started my 2nd playthrough....

At the moment dual wielding is def the way to go, there is no way a 2h weapon can match dual wielding.
Unless they add more sockets or boost 2h weapon dmg, there is really no need to use one, unless your a crusader.
 
Thanks for the reply, I've done research and getting an answer isnt easy, for example, lots of math calculations with contradictory view points and also how did the patch 2 effect the older answers.

My char is currently lvl 50 and def getting the DLC end of the month. Wonder if they'll release another DLC for the game.

well, 2x 1 handed weapons with sockets will out dps a single 2h weapon, it'll gain resources faster, generally have more attack speed, will help you gain life per hit faster, the list goes on. 2h weapons in D3 are broken at the moment.

Indeed, the only place 2 handers are good are for big hitters, but even then as Joker said they are far from optimal, even for some crusader builds. When you dual wield your main hand is used for Weapon Damage calculations. So skills that do X% weapon damage will use your main hand.

As an aside: Keep in mind that currently +X% damage affix on weapons do not work when the weapon has elemental damage type. It only applies to "black damage". It makes a great reroll candidate for a socket unless you want to stash it until it's fixed.

that is interesting.
 
I have to say I have been getting a little bored over the last few days but then last night I had a epic run with my gf, we got quite a few decent drops and all I can say is my barb is now owning, I have dropped my profile dps down to 880K but my elemental dps is sitting at 1.6m that's with 86% fire dmg stacked.
 
I myself am having a kak time.

Got my crusader to 70 yesterday morning (after losing my 70 HC wizard the day before)
Was spit farming bounty bags and spent 500 shards and not a single legendary. Also no leg drop from running.
RNG pooed on me.
 
Hehe, got my barb to level 60 last night. Now to start Paragon levels.

Oh and, I thought the end boss would tougher since I'm playing on hard...lol, had harder fights than that just a few levels before.

Hi I am playing HC with a crusader. Highest i got was like 65 with a barb. Any tips would be appreciated. Like what difficulty do play on?
 
In HC you work on surviving rather than seeing how much damage you can do. Most SC players only focus on Damage and then leave the toughness. So you will see most SC players have high Damage and low toughness. Focus on the Toughness and Healing then damage.

When im online send me a pm we can help you level and can farm with us. The public rifts are a bit dodge.
 
why is this game so damned addictive? A friend heard I started playing a while back he just smiled and told me to enjoy the addiction.
