I mean considering the magnitude of just this latest announcement, what kind of bombshells are they planning to drop on us on BlizzCon? Ladder, Clans, UI and social improvements, PEEVEPEE probably. By the way, was wondering how will they count the account wide paragon levels. Will they take acc paragon xp or paragon levels and combine them. Dunno if getting at least paragon 20 on all chars is better or should I just get as many 100's as I can. | ||

I'm so hyped for the expansion, I really think Blizzard makes a good successor of D2 yet. | ||

I'm pretty sure that it's based on xp, not the total number of levels. | ||

I guess for the non-ladder account you would still have the paragons. When the ladder starts/resets everyone playing ladder will have 0 paragon yes, but after the ladder season ends that xp will be added to your non-ladder xp http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9948295103#7 That is currently the plan. Paragon experience will be account but will also be broken out by game play mode. Players who play in Hardcore will have a separate hardcore paragon level from their non hardcore characters. When a season ends all of the paragon experience you have earned will be rolled into the appropriate pool of paragon experience for the account and you will be able to start at 0 again in the new season. This is all still a work in progress and subject to change but that is what we are currently intending. So if you just want to ladder, your current paragon means nothing to ladder and there's nothing you can do to get any advantage for ladder. But any xp you get on any character that is not p100 right now will add to your non-ladder account wide paragon level once 2.0 rolls out. | ||

Remember that they have plans to give you 5 "points" per paragon level to put towards various attributes (stats, cooldown reduction, resource regen, crit chance, etc) and that the new level cap is 70. If Paragon 2.0 comes before the expansion, who knows. The reasonable Paragon conversion plan would be to take all your paragon experience from all characters, sum them up and store them. When your first character turns 70, the experience is then given back to you. I'm guessing you will be at about roughly 60% of your sum Paragon level afterwards. | ||

…we’ve removed the innate bonuses granted by Paragon levels, and players will now earn Paragon Points every time they level up. These points can then be spent to boost up various stats in four different categories: Core Stats, Offensive, Defensive, and Adventure. Removed innate bonuses? So does that mean mf gear is going to be important again? will we have to carry an mf set to swap again. I quite liked the additional mf granted by the paragon levels :/ | ||

Not sure what the 2+ bit is all about, but maybe each point gives 1% MF. So if want MF it is now a choice, you can have it on gear, as paragon passives or not at all. Did they say if there was a cap on how much you could put into one stat? | ||

If you have to choose between mf or stat bonuses everyone ( who wants to maximize their farming efficency ) will go with bonus stats and use mf gear swapping. Gear swapping makes sense only against elites... | ||

I used MF swapping intensively after I discovered it, and will go back to it if MF works the same way it was until I get spare paragon points. MF swapping made a huge difference in the first weeks and with the AH not saturated it was really good and yielded significant results. Farming elites/champions with less than 100MF was useless at that time but with 250+ you could farm and be somewhat profitable to gear your character. EDIT: I'm not sure if you know what he means by MF gear swapping, you put elites/champions pack really low on life and then execute then with max MF, you would have your normal DPS gear with no MF to not hit enrage and kill as fast as possible and then change every single part you had for part with MF to deal the last blow to get the loots with max MF at the time. | ||

Paragon level 1 gives you a point to spend in "Core Stat," Paragon level 2 gives you a point to in "Offensive," Paragon level 3 gives you a point to spend in "Defensive," and Paragon level 4 gives you a point to spend in "Utility" (or "Adventure"). Each Paragon level past that follows the same pattern. " Meaning you won't be able to spent points as you want between categories, so if you want to max MF with paragon you would need Paragon 200 to have 50 points in it in its category. | ||

I know because I did it for a long time. Nobody farms elites anymore for several reasons (except for DE of course), the killing speed is much faster than a year ago* and high density dungeons at high MP are just better since patch 1.04 ("Normal monsters should now drop Magic items and Rare items approximately 4 times more than before"), to the point where you could literally skip elites past 5NV. Sure it'll be an option, but why would you do that when packs of white mobs give much more experience too? Maybe something quicker, like swapping in amulet + helm (for 80-100%mf more) for the occasional elite fight, could be good. But I wouldn't carry an entire set. *beginning of ladder season will be different of course | ||

But given a start of ladder where MP is out of the equation for now, trash farm is useless in no MP or MP1 so going back to MF champion hunting will probably the way to go to build up enough to start experience oriented session efficiently. I would carry as much part as I could that would allow me to finish the pack without risking dying to much, but without AH and loot 2.0 final DPS/EHP part may loot sonner than MF swap part so I guess depending on variance especially on the assured legendary on first kill boss per difficulty will be important to know where to go from there. | ||
