I tried to buy it digitally from blizzard store but i cant because it just gives me a meaningless error. Also im not sure why its $80 for a digital version when a normal one is $60...

I bought mine from JB Hifi Online, for ~$69.

Downside is it took a week or so to get delivered...

If D3 is a mmo wouldn't that make Starcraft 2 is a mmo too?

I wouldn't call it a mmo, just an online multiplayer.

Of course it's not an mmo, and i'm glad it's not.

I'm in act 2 inferno, spent ~250k average on each item but i can only do ~50k dps with my lvl50 wizard(and thats with glass cannon+force weapon for improved damage).
I'm gonna have to save up and upgrade the weapon next cos mine only does 749 damage.

you cant be in inferno with a lvl 50 character...

ive got a 1050DPS bow, gloves with attack speed and crit damage, crit damage rings, attack speed amulet and about 1400 dex.

how they have so much damage is the DH has a skill that gives them a stacking buff increasing their crit rating (which resets when they crit) so when they have a full stack of it they have 100% crith, thus the game reports their dps base on the fact that their next hit will be a crit and that is their DPS.

thats why you see DH's reporting their DPS and they usually say with or without sharpshooter

120k dps is still a lot tho, cos i can boost the dps on wizard with glass cannon+force weapon but i still only get 51.5k dps.

You can run it at any 4:3 res.

my pro tip for you.

sharpshooter, high attack speed weapon and nether tentacles (elemental arrow).

kite boss mob into a line, drop caltrops, smoke screen and run away. With a screen distance start firing nether tentacles at the mob, you should be able to get 5-6 out.
Because of sharpshooter all the shots will have 100% chance to crit, nether tentacles hits 2-3 times on mobs. Enjoy your 1million damage in 15 seconds :)

My DH has about 120k dmg depending on what gear due to crit damage and with this tactic i can destroy almost every mob.

pretty much do this to begin with, just stacking attack speed right now, got 1.72.

dh have another passive that gives them +50% crit damage when using an xbow. So basically 100% native crit damage + stacked crit damage + 100% crit chance and it just gives you huge numbers.

some inaccurate calcs.

(weapon dps) * (attribute bonus) * (skill bonus) * (attack speed) = base
base + base * (crit chance) * critdamage = displayed damage.

with your image, assuming 749 dps on your weapon the displayed damage is about 505841. not counting your offhand.

an equivalent DH with the same weapon(!) and dex stat would show about 134k damage. Counting skill bonus on 20% instead of 30%. Thing there is that DH weapons have much lower attack speed, crossbows have 1.1 and bows have 1.4.

But i posted a 16:10 res.....

act 3 inferno done, all it took was a decent group 2 tanks 2 ranged seems pretty much needed.

unbuffed 45k dps wd now, still using a 650dps weapon :(.

edit: act 3 boss iis the easiest part of inferno so far.

With lots of $$$ farming also becomes easy, i guess they gotta decrease the enrage timer to 1min so that farming doesn't become that easy.

You can make it do 16:10 - but you get banned (because you can see more/further/shit etc).

You can scale up to a full 1920x1200 (or whatever else) screen, you just have black bars on the sides.

Works well. :)
