Im almost die , just once , when this bloob.. moobs that can freez you hits me , then little lag and like 100hp left.. But dont write merveil is like normal moob..you need some frost resist for him , you also need to use hp flaks propertly.. He got two phases..a lot of hp , how he can be like normal moob ? Well okay sorry guess i phrased that badly. What i meant was they didnt really feel like bosses, more like unique mobs - harder yes but i felt no sense of achievement after killing them. Seems like im in the minority though, each to his own i guess  | ||

However that 1 cold snap landing is sometimes enough to get you killed without a freeze removal flask. Act 3: Rise of the Place Holders! Ah like i said.. some posts ago.. bow build is so op.. When i start HC char i was switching to bow for bosses ( im duelist) and it was so easy , so i sell my bow , and now only play sword/shield | ||

So now my Marauder is level 31 and still kicking quite a lot of ass, and I´m halfway through cruel. Been doing some cursing (the life leech+ extra pot regen and some endurance charge stuff), with hp regen aura, and ice hammer. Works pretty well, just need a decent red four socket linked item and then I`m going to be pretty badass with the damage output increasing like 25-30 % instantly from that alone. The general chat in this game is pretty entertaining with obviously quite a few TLers around. Been discussing Bisu vs Flash, SC2 vs Diablo 3 and other fun stuff. Only annoying part is the people who want to rip on D3, or PoE and every 5 minutes someone starts a idiotic debate about it. Just play both, play one, or play nothing. It does not hurt you what others do for fun. | ||

Well I just made my Shadow and damn I love Double Strike! Hillock was just destroyed by that. I feel I may be using this skill for awhile. | ||

But if you can play , and you have good skills (gems) in use..+ good items , nothing even gonna come close to you. I dont attack you , or something.. its just OP , and you see in future they gonna nerf it. | ||

Didn't really like this game. The whole passive skills seems redundant. Pretty much every class can have the same attribute after a while right ? If so, what's the point in choosing one of the six characters in the beginning of the game ? This game for some reasons felt way complicated for absolutely no reasons. I guess it could be good for those who want to stick with the d2's nostalgia... | ||

Not sure if it's my computer or the game, but does anyone else have problems with attempting to click a mob to attack it or whatever, but it's moved and you end up trundling on over past it? Gets frustrating with very very fast mobs like the snake/insect things in the pyramid - I'm fairly certain reflective damage or spamming ice lances took out more of those than my melee attacks. | ||

On the other hand, some aspects of the game were a bit off-putting. The drab art style was a real turn-off for me (brown, brown everywhere!) and the merchant interface was awful (click and drag). As some have already mentionned, the combat felt a bit stiff. Nowhere was that more evident than when using the Marauder's Leap ability, which takes nothing short of a full hour to arm itself. The fact Molten Armor (I think that's what it's called) interrupts your movement also falls within that category. Finally, I found that the targetting could be a bit fickle at times. These were my main issues with the game. I also got the feeling the game went out of its way to shower you with magic and rare items, which meant both a lot of time wasted in vendoring and diluted the "cool factor" of a rare find. I also felt the game was hurt by the absence of a discernable overarching narrative. I can see how the Passive build system would appeal to old-school ARPG maniacs, but I personnally ended-up slightly miffed that my weapon spec choice (2H in my case) meant that I would be stuck like that, since I like playing with new toys from time to time. All in all, it looks to be a pretty good game, but I'm not sure it's one I'll be anxious to get back to once it's released. | ||

The flask system is ingenious and opens interesting management strategies ; the barter system, while it freaks me out just a little bit, is actually kinda clever as well.

Except for bolded part those are the problems of beta and game not being completed. In a year time I would bet most of these issue would be fixed. As for bolded part, I agree with you. The game and skills lack fluency. I have been complaining about boring, slow Leap Slam from the moment I tried it 6 months ago. For whatever reason they don't care. And being able to use some skills on the move would be a huge blessing for this game. | ||
