They buffed pets in this patch. Now all pets use our CHD.
That means 5 million critting fetish army and 150 million critting gargantuan for me :)

Edit:
I'm going to :avatard: while my army tear away poor souls with this build tonight.

crusder was buffed but still deals shit damage. playing on hardcore requires too many defensive passives on the crusader. for instance WD and Wiz both have good "oh shit" passives and you only need that one defensive passive on them.

switching back to WD which does more damage per DPS value, and is also more fun to play.

btw my wiz has a third of my crusader's HP and toughness, yet takes like half the damage. GG blizzzzzzz

Feature list for the Real Edition of Diablo 3, on courtesy of PS4

Your friends have a chance of receiving a "gift" every time you get a legendary drop
The gift is a legendary item of their own that they can open on whichever hero they want to: the stats roll upon opening the gift

You'll be able to send items to your friends

Nemesis System: The monster that kills you can level up, jump into a portal and appear later in a friend's game
If your friend kills it, you get "gifts", if the monster kills them, it keeps getting stronger and jumps to another game randomly chosen from your friend's friend list.

Apprentice mode: if a lower level player pairs up with a higher level player, the system boosts the lower level player's stats so that they can handle the action
You still get the exp and items on both characters (each one appropriate to their base level, slightly boosted for the lower level)

Bonus experience is given for group play

Loot is distributed to the players that have priority by stat
All loot drops for everybody, if someone picks a Dexterity item it goes to the DH, if it's a Strength item it goes to the Barbarian and so on

You get a speed boost for destroying breakables

Massacre bonuses give more experience

Killing enemies with environment gives more experience

Massacres have a chance of dropping a Nephalem Glory globe

No idea, but there was not a single mention porting those systems over to PC.

LoL at those drops. My monk bro is waiting them to drop for nearly a week :) And he played a lot like 5-6 hours a day just to get them.
I'm going to use that screen to torture him.

TF proc isn't improved by lightning skills damage, that fist is an average pair.

Yeah but you should max the tf proc until you get a shard of hate, kinda beats your skills.
And I said average pair for TF.

Apparently shard has been fixed so it might be that TF is best weapon now or close second.

This game is a complete failure in design, and as 2.x patches proved, such severe cases are unfixable. Blizzard is full of idiots now. They don't know how to make a co-op game actually feel like co-op. It's a joyless, moronic clickfest - just the way Jay Wilson always envisioned the series.

Haters gonna hate. I was having a blast on 2.0.X, stopped just because I knew so many changes were coming and after dozens of hours it did get boring. Looking forward to joining back.

The problem is this game did nothing TL2 didn't before it aside from prettier graphics and voice overs. And by the time Derpablo 3 rolled out for $50+ you could have already bought TL2 on sale for $5.

I didn't know 2.1.0 rolls out today. That's nice though. I reinstalled the game like 2 days ago.

As much as I tried to enjoy Torchlight 2, my wishful thinking on it flipped after trying to play it. They failed at programming, all those tiny areas separated by loading screens... no world continuity, no Diablo2 feel. Skills are even less intuitive than in Diablo3. Everything feels arbitrary. Combat feels worse than Diablo3. Graphics are quite bad, and nothing to do with polygon counts. Open Battle.net approach ensures there's no cheat protection whatsoever...

So many good ideas on paper, so much stuff preserved from Diablo2 "on paper", but the game itself is just... unwelcoming.
