We found the giant frog that you can shoot out that eats enemies to be cute but annoying after awhile


Here are the latest patch notes:

Diablo III - Massive Hotfix List
As reported last night, it looks like Blizzard has been actively hotfixing differnt parts of the game. You can view the full list below

Some of the hotfixes below will go live the moment they are implemented, while others may require your realm to be restarted to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. We will continue to update this thread in the days ahead as additional hotfixes are applied.
Spoiler Warning: If you have not yet completed Diablo III on Normal, some hotfixes described in this list may include spoilers.

I have a level 20 Demon hunter. Hauserbnet@gmail.com if you want to add me. I haven't played with anyone yet and don't hire companions. Fun game. I have a harder time with elite or champion packs than I do the bosses it seems.

This is normal. Any unique mobs, including bosses, are much easier than the elite or champ packs. The gap between the two gets larger as you progress to high difficulties. Starting in Hell difficulty, the elite and champ packs are VERY difficult.

Here are some comments about the next couple of upcoming patches:http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6018...5_28_2012#blog

Most notable:

- They will be changing jewelcrafting so you only need to combine 2 gems instead of 3 to upgrade them to the next tier of gem. So, DO NOT upgrade your gems yet until they change this... you will just be wasting gems.
- They will be making blacksmithing cheaper, so don't upgrade him at all until they do or you will be wasting gold.
- If you get past hell difficulty before patch 1.0.3, you might as well just save yourself some headache and stop right there with that character. It sounds like they will be doing some balancing to inferno difficulty in that patch so the damage isnt so spikey. Right now, people are getting 1 or 2 shot by elite and champ packs.

I have quite a few extra rare items in my stash and can hook anyone up if they need stuff. Most of my extra items are dex armor pieces or various weapons. I sold most of my lower level int items that I used on my Wizard in the past, and my strength items I am hanging onto for my Barb, but will be able to hand those down as he replaces them.

I bought all of my stash space and it is almost full already.

lol, yeah someone posted that video of the kid running from the birds in the Wizard forums a couple days ago. Funny shit... and a very good depiction of D3 inferno (from what I hear, not there yet).

This is how I feel when I actually find an upgrade that drops (instead of buying it from the AH):



I've known this feeling only a few times since starting Hell. (We finished it over the weekend, Inferno is a bitch).
