Some Questions and Answers

I’ve been playing with some new players lately and I wanted to throw some basic questions out there and answer them in case someone has similar questions and find same through a search engine. These are real questions I’ve had people ask me in the game.

Monk AoE & Leveling Build

Posted by adam 2 comments

Monks excel at area of effect (AoE) attacks. Most of their abilities have an AoE as a primary or side effect. If you like seeing exploding bodies and elemental craziness zapping across the screen then the monk is for you. Building a monk that is efficient at AoE destruction without a whole lot of downtime […]

Sell Your Gold – Inflation is Serious Business

Posted by Meldora 3 comments

The other day a reader wrote a comment asking if it would be smarter to invest gold in the first few days into your artisan. It might be, but let’s take a realistic look at what’s going to happen to the real-money value of gold in the first week of Diablo 3.

Wizard AoE Build

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

This Wizard AoE build is built for high damage and high AoE ability. It’s somewhat of a derivation of my previous Wizard Farming Build where I focused on travel speed, arcane regeneration and AoE. This time, I focused mostly on AoE and passed on the teleportation. This makes this build more suitable for farming or […]

A month ago I wrote a little about farming the Den of the Fallen in the Weeping Hallow (this is in the second or third quest in the beta). I never published it because it just wasn’t a competitive way of farming subtle essence, at least not compared to the ways that others were sharing […]

Today a friend of mine asked me: “do you think D3′s “sell shit for real money” system will actually be worth investing in?” Now, let me be clear, this guy had no idea what I’ve been up to the last 6 months. As far as he knows I’m still playing World of Warcraft and collecting […]

It’s time to take a really close look at the Wizard class and see if we can come up the best Wizard Farming Build. Last week I shared a Demon Hunter Farming Build, I’ll try to hit each class before release. Let me know if you have any builds you’d like to share!

Buying and Selling Gold in Diablo 3

When is the right time to buy and sell gold in Diablo 3? Buying it, maybe never. Selling it, as soon as possible. Consider that gold is going to be in huge demand early in the game. Players are going to be racing to level their artisans, acquire high tier gems, buy exquisite essences and […]

Does Real-Money Really Matter?

Posted by Meldora 1 comment

Yesterday, I read a post at D3Gold Guide about making $5/week in Diablo 3 being “doubtful.” Marcko debunks the myth that Diablo 3 won’t be profitable and explains the crucial difference between casually minded players and well prepared players capable of making actual cash in Diablo 3. How much can players make though and does it […]
