D3 Analyst: Hardcore or softcore?
http://d3analyst.blogspot.com/2012/05/hardcore-or-softcore.html
Tuesday, 1 May 2012. So why would anyone want to play hardcore? Is it just masochism? I think to best understand it one needs to step back from immersion. Sure, some people like it that their character plays a story with closure. My old guild had a subforum devoted to death reports which turned into a remarkable place with friends paying tribute to other people's characters and even our own resident elegist. The key to understanding hardcore, however, is to look at the game mechanics. With Diablo 3 I see...

D3 Analyst: Damage Reduction
http://d3analyst.blogspot.com/2012/06/damage-reduction.html
Saturday, 9 June 2012. Damage reduction works is as follows:. If an attack does N damage, you take N reduced by Armour (calculated by adding your Strength to your Armour from gear).

D3 Analyst: May 2012
http://d3analyst.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 May 2012. My builds as a level 60 Witch Doctor. I have two main builds I'm using at the moment and different gear sets for each:. Progression build (high survival). Note that Big Stinker is required to make Bad Medicine work. Also Hex is quite important for pet healing as the build lacks Fierce Loyalty. I just soloed Hell Diablo with this build. Farming build (high dps). The goal is to get everything on cooldown then spam bears at people. It's really fun, hits like a truck and looks awesom...

D3 Analyst: Launch Day!
http://d3analyst.blogspot.com/2012/05/launch-day.html
Tuesday, 15 May 2012. I'm stuck at the downloader but I imagine it will let me in later this morning. Some people have already got a few hours play in but a great many are stuck either downloading the game or at the log in page. Let me offer a few last tips for launch day:. Watch for gold AH bargains. Prices will be very cheap today as no one has any money. Level will probably be the main determinant of wealth. Don't try to level in magic find or gold find gear.

Friday, July 27, 2012. I quit D3, kind of, and hardcore pr0n. As some of you might have noticed (but I don't blame you if you haven't), I haven't posted anything for a long time. That's because I kinda-sorta quit Diablo 3. Well, not quit it completely but my enthusiasm has cooled off to a large extent. As a result...
