There's a spell where you have magic diamond armor that prevents you getting ANY damage. Add that along with what ever magic weapon, and you're deadly.

I will have hours and hours of mostly uninterrupted time.

just for a fyi, (i'm sure you know but others may not) a team can have up to 4 players which is a bit small compared to the old D2. So maybe teams could be set up here on DU instead of chatting there in game? I find it's a bit confusing in game with invites and all happening from all directions with different objectives. but I'm old.

This battle tag business is confusing, but please add me. I'm a Tank Monk mostly, since it is my favorite class, but I've also been messing around with a Demon Hunter. I'll end up as a tank Monk though, I really don't doubt that since it is how I like to play these types of games.

In ADDITION to the server being down. I have a Razer Naga, and the right mouse button died like two days before Diablo 3, which is the worst possible time. I rebound the keys so that another key on the thumb pad does rm click, but then they broke it with the next download.

I want to scream. DH is so awesome, that I can get away without using any rm bound skills so far, but this sucks LOL.

I am hoping to figure out a way to make the game run faster for me (I've just learned that Safari sucks up RAM and doesn't give it back so there is a way to remedy that I have to do) and I was using Safari almost exclusively a while back. So hope that is the problem and can be solved.

But I found it in D3, and it's labeled account bound. It could just be Blizzard trolling, as they do occasionally because it is listed as a "red herring" but since it is account bound, I figured it did something eventually.

that it and 4 other rare items can be used to make the Staff of Herding and get to "Whimsyshire", a special level like the cow level in diablo 2. Whimsyshire is bright and full of smiling clouds, rainbows, unicorns, etc, to fight. The link below gives the details of what to collect/where.

Played through normal with a DH and got stuck on Diablo and ran out of cash repairing...currently playing through with a Barbarian to rebuild the cash pool so I can try again with the DH on Diablo.

Any suggestions for beating Diablo would be greatly appreciated. I can get to about 40-50% health on him in the third round before something catastrophic happens and he catches me...which as we know is really really bad for a DH to be in range of any damage.

I've got 4 characters already (everyone but a wizard). Love the barb the most, but for some reason can't find good gear for him. As he is my highest level (21), he gives others awesome finds and cast offs but gets crappy equipment himself. I just love the game, especially wading in with whirlwind and leap.

Monk is cool. Demon hunter is meh for me. Witch doctor is doing insanely awesome, but she is benefiting from the gear the others got her...still....geez....she slaughtered Leoric five times faster than any of my other characters.
