Will I be able to assign different keys to the skills? Like use QWER instead of 1234?

Can you only download Diablo from Bnet once you have activated some kind of key for it?

In open stress test beta I had some weird kind of mini-lag, everytime I used a new spell. Like, I use Firebats for the first time, everything stops for a second. After that there was no lag for Firebats. Everytime I got a new spell the same thing happened for that spell. Was that a common problem? Was it internet/server related or my computer?

Yes you need the game attached to your account before downloading it from your page. However, you can log into someone else's page and download from there, there are *probably* websites/torrents that have the up to date installer (the same one that you download from battle.net - however these measures will only work to get the game on your computer, obviously you'll need to wait for a key to attach to your account to log in and play.




Well if you did not finish downloading all of the game the pauses may be due to the content being downloaded as it was needed, however an integrated graphics card being your source of video is probably not good. I'm not aware of many integrated cards that can run modern games (but then again I've had no reason to see) - I would *imagine* if you can run SC2 well enough, you might be able to manage Diablo 3 without too much cringing (SC2 Required at minimum a NVIDIA 6600GT / Radeon 9800 PRO verse Diablo 3's NVIDIA 7800GT / Radeon X1950 Pro) - If the shaky content was due to you not downloading the full content, then maybe you could get by with low frame rate, but I really don't know.

The client can only be downloaded from battle.net if you have the game license (so pre-order or enter a key).

I think the lag issue was common for witch doctors in open beta.

If feel like in D2 you never knew how much damage/life your minions really had. I remember wolves and skeletons being supposed to die easily but they could tank quite a bit and moreover they had a massive life regen. It may just be me though.

How are things regarding minions in D3?

I didn't get to play all the classes, so I've got a question.

Do wizards have a mana regen attack the same way barbs/hunters/monks have a focus regen, or would they just rely on their mana regen?

They have free to cast skills and rely on mana regen.

in D2 ... they tell you how much life your minions have, you can also check the skill charts.... but in D3 they dont tell you... although I think those minions gain hp as you level up ... they have to because a 40 hp zombie dog is pretty much useless at higher lvls but I agree they should show minion hp in D3

I think they need more info on those skills especially the summoning skills in D3... they dont tell you much except the dmg they do... no hp or resistance or how they scale with levels

Clearly I am missing a large piece of the puzzle, but I can play DOTA2 so I will pray to jesus that I can play d3 also

to an extent, you can rune in +AP per cast / hit on your signature spells (free ones) + prodigy for +4 ap per hit (cast)
Itemization also apparently allows for +AP on crit, etc.



While it isn't explicitly said, as far as I know, I am sure minions have some percentage of your hp. It goes with Blizzard's scaling ideology in this game. Damage is now a percent of your weapon, cast speed is a result of your attack speed. I would imagine minions have some fraction of your hp, armor, etc. When you have 50k+ hp in Inferno, I would assume minions have like 30-40k or so. They are supposedly inferno viable.



Download, install, and activate a starter account and see what happens on release. Release versions are almost always more stable than beta, because often times a beta is using older versions of their engine than what you have at release, thus it lacks optimization, etc.

Is there a website or a set of videos someone has produced that can help me choose what class to play? A video guide by some youtuber would be incredible, but anything would be great. I have no clue how I can find this stuff out.
