How to Kill Rakanoth

Rakanoth is one of the hardest bosses in the game. He boasts a combination of annoying adds and a near-instant teleport 1-shot. Chances are if you’re here you’re already familiar with the frustration Rakanoth can dish out. In order to beat Rakanoth, we have to understand Rakanoth:

What Gem Should I Use?

There are only four types of gems in the game each with three different effects based on the type of equipment they are used in. There are 4 primary stats and then some miscellaneous effects like + Critical Damage, + Experience, etc. It’s easy to overlook that there are two ways to add damage to […]

Best Class in Diablo 3

Now that Diablo 3 has been live for about 12 hours we have a better idea of how the classes break down past level 20. Even though the servers have only stayed up about 8-9 hours most semi-hardcore players are sitting at level 20-25 and they might even begin to reroll. If you haven’t picked […]

What’s the Best Class in Diablo 3?

A friend of mine asked me for the inside scoop tonight, “what’s the best class?” or “which class should I play?” I guess after playing the beta for 6 months I should have an idea? Right? Well, no. Blizzard’s goal has always been to balance the classes and provide for a unique play style for […]

Diablo 3 Farming

In the beta with just 4 quests and around an hour of playtime we were able to find, test and master over a half dozen different ways to farm in Diablo 3. These methods give us more gold per hour and per minute than doing anything else in game, other than possibly playing the auction […]

Bad Ass Armor Sets – Datamined

The armor sets in Diablo 3 are surprisingly unique compared to their Diablo 2 counter parts. In D2 there were just a few low resolution sets, in the coming release of D3 we’ve got fully 3D models high resolution sets, and not just a few. Here are videos, one for each of the five classes, […]

Witch Doctor Farming Build

The Witch Doctor is an interesting class. It doesn’t match any existing stereotypical class role. It comes closest to the necromancer but is still significantly different. Because of this, and because the beta only allows us to get to level 13 this is the best I could come up for a Witch Doctor Farming Build. […]

Farming the Skeleton King

The other day we took a look at what I think is the best way to farm Subtle Essence. Now I wanted to move on to what everyone else is doing and draw a comparison. In the beta everyone just runs the Skeleton King quest line over and over again. It’s easy and only takes […]

Witch Doctor Stat Preview

The Witch Doctor is the last of the 5 classes I took a look at with the goal of finding out which stats and equipment will be the most important for each class. In a few days I’m going to take all 5 classes and combine them in order to get a good picture of […]

Sweeping Changes to Stats and Artisan Leveling

After last week’s announcement, among other things, that they were removing the Mystic Artisan (I never saw her anyways) and removing the Nephelum Cube today we’re met with Patch 10. What’s in Patch 10? More sweeping changes. We’re sitting at about 1 month after the latest projected release date and we’re still talking about what […]
