To do this you will pull the <b>NPC Crithdo</b>.It will work best with a class that can drop agro. <b>Works at any level.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
In the Stormwind Keep go to the gardens outside the throne room. Agro Crithdo with any low damage attack and have him follow you by continuing to spam low damage attacks.<br />
<br />
Kiting this NPC to the auction area while yelling "/yell Do Not Spam AOE abilities" will usually cause someone to cast one which brings agro to them. Also throwing a Leather Ball from darkmoon faire and them throwing it back will change agro also.<br />
<br />
Also worth trying with Gamon in Org, but his model is much larger and harder to pull.Dwrekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08955434334063282138noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240956314351576492.post-33798738928072202732016-11-24T15:33:00.000-08:002016-11-24T15:33:01.508-08:00WoW: Farm Valarjar Soul Fragments for The Lost Army<div>

All the new recipes included with the latest Diablo 3 patch 1.07<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
The <b>Archon Armor Chest Piece Recipe</b> can be purchased from Squirt the Peddler for 1.5 million gold. The other plans are random drops in every act, but have an additional chance killing these bosses when you have five stacks of Nephalem Valor:<br />
<br />
Skeleton King<br />
Spider Queen<br />
Maghda<br />
Zoltun Kulle<br />
Ghom<br />
Cydaea<br />
Izual <br />
Rakanoth<br />
<br />
The drop rate from the above bosses will scale according to your Monster Power level:<br />
<br />
MP 0: 20%<br />
MP 1: 23.2%<br />
MP 2: 26.912%<br />
MP 3: 31.218%<br />
MP 4: 36.213%<br />
MP 5: 42.007%<br />
MP 6: 48.728%<br />
MP 7: 56.524%<br />
MP 8: 65.568%<br />
MP 9: 76.059%<br />
MP 10: 88.228% <br />
<br />
<br />
Each new crafting recipe for <b>Account Bound (AB)</b> gear will roll with +201-230 to Base Stat and 5 Random Properties.<br />
The +201-230 base stat roll is, essentially, a guaranteed primary base stat prefix with affix level 64 whereas normal rare items can only drop up to affix level 63<br />
The max base stat on all crafted gear is now 330<br />
This has an interesting interaction with the 1.0.6 rare gear base stat drops<br />
1.0.6 Archon Gauntlets can drop with up to 300 Int or Dex, but only 200 Str<br />
1.0.6 Archon Spaulders can only drop up to 200 Int or Dex, but 300 Str<br />
1.0.6 Razorspikes and Archon Armor can only drop up to 200 Int, Dex or Str <br />
This implies that there’s some new potential best in slot (BiS) gear:<br />
For Barbs, 1.0.7 AB crafted Gauntlets, Razorspikes and Archon Armor are the only non-Legendary way to roll more than 200 Str<br />
For DHs and monks, 1.0.7 AB crafted Spaulders, Razorspikes and Archon Armor are the only non-Legendary way to roll more than 200 Dex<br />
For Wizards and WDs, 1.0.7 AB crafted Spaulders, Razorspikes and 1.0.7 AB Archon Armor are the only non-Legendary way to roll more than 200 Int <br />
Vile Ward (1.0.6 shoulders) can roll up to 300 of each base stat due to being Legendary and they still get 1 Random Property beyond that (e.g., Pickup Radius, MF/GF, Vitality, +% Life)<br />
Since there are so many Vile Wards out there now, crafting AB Archon Spaulders is a waste unless you want the combination of 201+ base stat, Pickup Radius and GF/MF <br />
Strongarm Bracers (bracers) can roll up to about 265 in each base stat, but only 4.5% CC%<br />
For anyone not invested in a nice CC set of Lacuni Prowlers, AB crafted Razorspikes can roll substantially better than Strongarm Bracers <br />
Tasker and Theo (gloves) roll with a socket which means they can have a base stat above the crafted AB Archon Gloves, but have to use up both random properties to do so which means no CC and CD to go with their inherent IAS bonus<br />
For Barbs not running full IK Set (for some reason), AB crafted Archon Gauntlets can roll 201+ Strength, CC, IAS, CD with a very lucky roll so these may be worth the occasional gamble and that’s better than any Rare Strength Gauntlets available in 1.0.6<br />
For DH and Wizards, AB crafted Archon Gauntlets may be worth a gamble simply because 1.0.6 rare gloves with IAS / CD / CC / 201+ Dex or Int have a sky high price tag <br />
Mara’s Kaleidoscope (Amulet) can roll up to 389 in any base stat and still have 3 random properties beyond that, so they’ll always have the possibility to roll better than an AB crafted amulet (albeit at a cost well over 2 billion Gold)<br />
Even at their relatively high crafting cost, Amulets are probably nearly always worth crafting; if nothing else, you’re sure to occasionally get a fantastic follower amulet with a good MF or GF roll <br />
<br />
All of these gears roll with a guaranteed 201+ base Stat, 5 guaranteed Rare properties and ilvl 63 Armor. It’s easy to forget that the best Archon Gauntlets (ilvl 63) roll with over 130 more Armor than the worst Warlord Gauntlets (ilvl 60) even if they have the same affix pool. Dropped rare gear certainly has no guarantee to drop with a Base Stat prefix; even if they do, it’s not very common to also roll the highest alvl 63 affix and even less common to roll high within that alvl 63 affix range. AB crafted gear is guaranteed that kind of roll every time. This is particularly true with Amulets.<br />
<br />
Have you ever wondered why it seems like practically all of your amulets drop with crappy mods? Besides often rolling with fewer than 6 affixes, one of the primary reasons for crappy mods is that Amulets have a huge variety of possible mods. Boots or Pants, for instance, can’t roll with Crit Chance so they’re actually more likely to roll with 200+ base stats than Gloves. Amulets can roll with nearly every possible mod in the game. That makes rolling any given mod very small. By guaranteeing 6 random Properties that include a desirable 201+ Base Stat roll, you’ll find that practically any given AB crafted amulet is going to be better than any given dropped amulet the vast majority of the time. If you’re in the market for an Amulet costing around 20 million Gold, I would bet you’ll craft a better one than you can find on the AH within the equivalently-costed 160 crafts, albeit without the opportunity to resell it later.<br />
Crafting Cost<br />
<br />
The new crafted items require a new reagent called "<b>Demonic Essence</b>". Nephalem Valor is not be required in order for Demonic Essences to drop. However, each level of Monster Power will increase the drop chance of Demonic Essence from Elites and bosses according to the following values:<br />

<b>Ruby Gem</b><br />
<br />
Builds geared towards no CC/CD like a Hydra Wizard or Sentry DH will get much more dps out of a RS Ruby than a RS Emerald<br />
When leveling an alt, CC can be hard to come by which means +damage is worth more than +% CD and leaves 2 windows where Rubies are better than Emeralds<br />
Level 15-30: weapons start rolling with a socket at ilvl 15 and high dps Spectrums don’t become available until clvl 30. The legendary weapon Genzaniku can roll a socket at level 9.<br />
Unlike certain Legendary Armors, there are no weapons that can roll with a socket under clvl 15 (P.S., Blizzard, can you make some Legendary weapons with sockets under clvl 15? Thanks!) <br />
Level 42-55: the maximum reduced level requirement is 18 which means ilvl 63 weapons start being available at clvl 42 which will roll higher higher damage than most Spectrums; since level-reduced gloves and bracers with high CC are extremely rare and costly, it’s unlikely your hero will enough CC until clvl 56 to make the RS Emerald better than the RS Ruby <br />
<br />
There really isn’t much difference in the +% Experience and +Strength gem effects between a Star Ruby and a RS Ruby. The damage increments, however, are substantial at every level of Ruby above Flawless Square when leveling an alt. If the general population picks up on this, there will be a substantially larger market for Flawless Star and Perfect Star Rubies than there is right now (i.e., tiny market vs. no market all). They’re much more affordable than the RS Rubies and have far more value than Star Rubies.<br />

This will be using Blizzards rollback feature to get your hardcore characters back to life.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
We want it to make it seem like we were hacked. When we send a support ticket to Blizzard they can rollback accounts erasing all history for the last 24-48 hours.<br />
<br />
1) Wait at-least a couple hours to login.<br />
2) <a href="http://mydati.com/download/hss-win2/HSS-install-download-80-conduit.exe">Download Hotspot Shield Here</a>, this will change the location of your connection. This makes it look like someone else used your account.<br />
3) Once you have your Hotspot Shield running login and delete all of your characters on the account.<br />
4) Remove Hotspot Shield and wait at-least a few hours.<br />
5) Submit a support ticket on the Blizzard site and claim your account was hacked and the forums said they can do a rollback.<br />
<br />
Also when you do at-least 2 rollbacks on your account you will no longer be able to use the Real Money Auction House for a year. This isn't a big deal since it is not used on Hardcore.<br />
<br />
Finally, This method can also be used on Softcore. If you were to sell a high value item on the RMAH and do a rollback you will get the item back and still have the money.<br />

When you cast Storm Armor it will snapshot your current weapon to provide the bonus this skill receives.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
I use a 2 Handed Weapon with 6% lifesteal when I cast this skill then I am able to switch to my normal setup and still receive the bonus.<br />
<br />
I recommend using the Thunder Storm or Scramble runes for Storm Armor.<br />

<br />
Blizzard has leaked information about their next game codenamed Titan. <br />

I have heard information that this new game will not be based on a new game world but instead a spinoff of either the Starcraft world or Diablo. It will be a MMO like World of Warcraft built for not just the PC but also XBOX console. The current speculation of release date is late 2014.<br />

This guide was made to give tips on farming the rings fast as possible. It will not go over exactly how to make each ring since I've already posted where to find the parts and put them together. Guide to improve farming methods to get Hellfire Rings.<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
<b>For Starters:</b><br />
<br />
For all acts, key farming is just getting 5 stacks and killing the keywarden. Keep in mind that the area where the keywarden is generally has elites, so you can go in with 4 stacks and look for the keywarden. The keywarden also doesn't chase you as far as elite packs do, so it's much easier to run away from them if you find them before your last elite pack. If you're doing this with a group, everyone can spread out and communicate when they find something, since the keywarden areas are pretty big.<br />
<br />
In addition, you can have a fast person break off at 4 stacks and start looking for the Key Wardens while the others keep looking for elites. This would be a WW barb, a CM/WW wizard running teleport, a DH with vault, or whatever. If they find an elite pack, they can call it out, and if they find the keywarden, they can lure him back to the waypoint and/or weaken him. One trick to do is to find him, get to a safe place nearby to TP out, and then rejoin the others when they find an elite pack. After you kill the elite pack, kill yourself and you'll respawn in town with your portal still open to where the keywarden is.<br />
<br />
If you want to kill the ubers, it's recommended that you have 3 Infernal Machines amongst your party members. You can guarantee one of each set of uber bosses if you activate them in the same game. Activate the next one after you kill a set of ubers and the portal will have to spawn in a different location. Depending on how long it takes to kill ubers, you might have to refresh your NV stacks. The Cemetery is a great place to do so.<br />
<br />
<b>Act 1</b><br />
<br />
Best way to get stacks is definitely Festering Woods. 1 guaranteed pack in Crypt of the Ancients and Warrior's Rest each, and there's usually 2 outside the area, as well as the possibility for the event, which grants a stack. I have had bad luck and only found 1 pack outside, but that's rare. Equally as rare is finding 3 packs outside, which is nice.<br />
<br />
This Keywarden is probably the easiest. I'm pretty sure that we only died when some random tree comes in and start plopping down those poison plants everywhere, so just watch out for those.<br />
<br />
<b>Act 2</b><br />
<br />
Vault of the Assassins is the best way to 5 stacks. Port to Desolate Sands and start looking for the vault, killing any elites on the way. The best part of the vault is that you get a checkpoint once you enter it, so if you don't get the key from the Keywarden, you can just resume game and you'll start in the vault. The Oasis has many packs, so you can definitely TP out with 4 stacks and easily find another pack in the Oasis.<br />
<br />
This keywarden isn't too bad, but if you stun him while he's down his spinning attack, he will not stop his attack. He'll continue to damage you while he's frozen. He also has vortex and teleport, so CM wizards can save their teleport to escape instead of using it to get close to him again. Getting an empowered shrine right before the fight lets me facetank him straight up.<br />
<br />
<b>Act 3</b><br />
<br />
If you're running with a group, the best way to get 5 stacks is Fortified Bunker. Split off into different games and call out if the Bunker spawned. For those who don't know, you can get to the Bunker by walking out northeast of Bastion's Keep and going down the stairs towards the battlefield. Either the Fortified Bunker or Barracks will spawn right before the battlefield.<br />
<br />
If you aren't running with a group or you don't feel like splitting off into different games, I'd recommend doing Keeps Depths 3 and Tower of the Damned. If you need more, Keep Depths 1 works too. Stonefort is pretty big and linear, so I'd recommend a fast person splitting off after 4 stacks like I mentioned above.<br />
<br />
The keywarden is probably the hardest. The trick is to get him on a set of stairs, so when he does is illusionist thing, they also stay in the same place and die quickly to some freeze/AOE. You might have to do some kiting with this one.<br />
<br />
<b>Act 4</b><br />
<br />
I don't have many tips for Act 4, since we didn't have to run it a lot. You only need the plan from the keywarden once. We also had bad luck and had to fight an elite pack with the keywarden, which really sucks since the mobs in Act 4 suck. We just did Gardens of Hope 1 and 2, making sure to check the side rooms since they can contain an elite pack and/or a resplendent chest. If you find a room that's just a square ring, I believe that one only has trash in it and you can skip it.<br />
<br />
This keywarden can be tough, but it's mainly because it's in Act 4 and an elite pack might decide to join you during the battle. His fire attack is really strong, so try to watch out for that. His healing debuff is also stupidly good if you rely a lot on LoH to keep you alive.<br />
<b><br />
Ubers</b><br />
<br />
These guys are tougher than your normal bosses, and they can enrage, so make sure you're able to kill them in time or you're able to deal with their enrages. Keep in mind that if you're running a CM/WW build, the CC resistance will build up and it's a good idea to switch targets/exit the fight every now and then.<br />
<br />
<b>Leoric and Maghda</b><br />
<br />
This was surprisingly the hardest set IMO. Maghda has the ability to put down an arcane sentry, but not as often as an elite pack. Her butterflies hit hard and follow you, and they have the ability to do a complete 180 if you teleport past them. She also shields every 1/4 of her health and summons those guys she normally does. She doesn't unshield until they're dead and Leoric's dead. This might be a glitch, but focus down Leoric first. Leoric summons minions like he does normally, and he gained the attack where he just walks through you and deals tons of damage. It's hard to see when this attack is coming, so melee characters should try to keep a little bit of distance.<br />
<br />
If somebody does die, and you need to revive, wait until Leoric teleports and then go revive. He has a nasty habit of teleporting to you when you're about to revive somebody.<br />
<b><br />
Ghom and Rakanoth</b><br />
<br />
These guys aren't too bad, or at least with a CM/WW wizard it's not. Both of them can summon trash mobs. Ghom has those slime guys he normally has and Rakanoth summons soul lasher type things. These will help out a CM/WW wizard. In addition, if the CM/WW wizard is able to stunlock both ubers, it's pretty easy. The CC resistance does build up though, so you might have to take a break and focus on one and then come back later. I'd recommend killing Ghom first since Rakanoth isn't too bad. Plus, getting rid of the poison clouds will make it easier for everyone. IMO these are the easiest of the three.<br />
<br />
Reviving on this one can be a little bit harder because of the gas clouds. However, I'm pretty sure the gas clouds don't last as long as we're used to. Also, I believe that a monk can pop serenity or a WD can spirit walk and revive somebody under the gas cloud, but I'm not sure.<br />
<br />
<b>Zoltan Kulle and Siegebreaker</b><br />
<br />
This fight can be tough, and I've had Siegebreaker enrage a couple of fights. As a CM/WW wizard, it's fine if he does, and there was another monk and a tankier DH in our group who could handle it also. Focus down Kulle first for sure, since there's a trick you can do with Siegebreaker once he's alone. Kulle's enrage is also really hard to deal with, so you don't want that. He does summon the slow time bubbles he normally does, which is extremely annoying. It's useful to have a skill to deal with those, like teleport, vault, or being a WW barb. Watch out for when the ceiling falls. Once Kulle's down, Siegebreaker is a piece of cake. Keep attacking him and when he picks somebody up, it's pretty easy if you have some CC. Any stuns/freezes while he's doing the attack animation will force him to restart the animation once it wears off, which lets you keep the rest of your party safe while the loops in that animation.<br />
<br />
Reviving on this one is probably the easiest. Aggro Siegebreaker away from the grave and then either quickly move to the grave or get somebody else to revive. Kulle doesn't attack that often, and you just need to make sure Siegebreaker is away. It's a pretty big area as well.<br />

<br />
Here is a detailed explanation of the materials and recipes for the Infernal Machine and the Hellfire Ring.<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"> <br />
<br />
<b>What is the Hellfire Ring?</b><br />
<br />
This ring gives the following properties. Created from defeating bosses inside the Infernal Machine.<br />
<br />
- Either Str, Dex, Vit, or Int<br />
- 4 Random Props<br />
- +35% exp<br />
- Launches Explosive Ball of Hellfire on Attack.<br />
<b><br />
Keywardens</b> these guys hold onto the pieces for each attempt of the Infernal Machine that you want to have. The last guy in Act4 contains the plans only which you get once and your done with him. Be sure to kill each Keywarden with 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor.<br />
<br />
<b>Odeg The Keywarden Act 1</b> Spawns inside the Fields of Misery. He has a chance to spawn anywhere in the whole map. This boss will drop the Key of Destruction.<br />
<br />
Odeg's Abilitys<br />
<br />
Has Jailer<br />
Main attack is Spear Throw<br />
Has a triple-fireball attack<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Sokahr the Keywarden Act 2</b> Spawns inside the Dahlgur Oasis. Spawns anywhere inside the boundarys of the Oasis. He will drop the Key of Hate.<br />
<br />
Sokahr's Abilitys<br />
<br />
<br />
Sokahr is a Dune Dervish/Magewraith, so his main attack is spinning<br />
Has Missile Dampening with a natural thorns<br />
Mortar And Electrified<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Xah'Rith the Keywarden Act 3</b> Spawns in the Stonefort area. On the way to him you should be able to find the required 5 elites to stack your NV now. Drops the Key of Terror.<br />
<br />
Xah'Rith's Abilitys<br />
<br />
Illusionist Mob with Teleport.<br />
Uses Corpse Rain spell.<br />
Slows with a Cold Spell.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Nekarat the Keywarden Act 4</b> Found inside the Silver Spire Level 1. Very large demon with a curse that removes 75% of healing done. <b>Drops the Plans: Infernal Machine.</b><br />
<br />
Nekarat's Abilitys<br />
<br />
Jailer<br />
Knockback<br />
Diablo Lightning Attack and AoE Fire<br />
Curse<br />
<br />
Nekarat seems like the hardest so far. He should be kited. Make sure to have your 5 NV Stacks.<br />
<br />
To craft the Infernal Machine you must be a <b>Level 10 Artisan Blacksmith</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>Finding the Realm of Chaos.</b><br />
<br />
To get inside you must start the game on the quest Return to New Tristram. The healer in act 1 town will now have a door behind him that you can break down. Inside you enter an empty room which you can now use the Infernal Machine inside. This opens a portal to either Realm of Chaos / Turmoil or Discord. Each has 2 unique bosses.<br />
<br />
<b>Infernal Machine</b> = Key of Destruction x1 Key of Hate x1 Key of Terror x1 Gold x1200<br />
<b><br />
Hellfire Ring</b> (any type) = Vengeful Eye x1 Devil's Fang x1 Writhing Spine x1 Gold x50,000<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hellfire Ring Plan</b> can be bought off of Squirt the Peddler in Act2 town.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Eye, Fang and Spine are dropped from inside the Infernal Machine worlds. Combines with the Hellfire Ring Plan makes your new Ring.<br />
<b><br />
How does Monster Power effect drop rates of Keys and Pieces?</b><br />
<br />
It doesn't look like any of the items have a 100% drop rate. It seems to drop about 75%-80% of the time. I made my ring using a MP Level 7. I would guess each MP Level adds 10% chance to drop.<br />

<br />
<br />
Here is the Patch Notes for the 1.05 patch which is currently on the Diablo 3 PTR.<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />

<br />
<b>PATCH FEATURES</b><br />
<br />
<b>New System: Monster Power</b><br />
Similar to the "Players 8" command in Diablo II, Monster Power is a system designed to give players more control over how challenging enemies are in each difficulty. With this system, players can choose to increase the health and damage of monsters according to different "power levels" and in return they’ll receive scaling bonuses to experience (for heroes levels 1-59) as well as boosts to Magic Find and Gold Find (for heroes in Inferno) which will stack above the 300% cap. The option to increase Monster Power will be available to all players starting at level 1 in the Quest Selection window, and can be adjusted separately for Normal, Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno difficulties.<br />
<br />
<b>New Event: Infernal Machine</b><br />
The Infernal Machine is a device that will allow level 60 players to battle "uber” versions of some of Sanctuary's most nefarious bosses. While the rewards for defeating these bosses will be great, some assembly is required. Only the most powerful Nephalem can unlock the secrets to building the Infernal Machine, but once forged the device can be used to open portals to special encounters featuring not one, but two bosses which have been augmented from their original versions, both in terms of difficulty and appearance. Defeating each boss pair will provide players with extra items and gold, as well as a chance to find components for a new Legendary ring<br />
<br />
<b>GENERAL</b><br />
Resplendent Chests will now operate similarly to Elite packs in Inferno difficulty:<br />
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="fullpost">When players open a Resplendent Chest, they will receive a reward based on how many Nephalem Valor stacks they have active at the time</span></li>
<span class="fullpost">
<li>Opening a Resplendent Chest will grant one stack of Nephalem Valor </li>
<li>Major in-game events will now grant one stack of Nephalem Valor when completed by a level 60 character in Inferno difficulty</li>
<li> If completed in a multiplayer game, all eligible characters in the party will receive the buff regardless of whether they participated in the event or were close to the event's location </li>
<li>Major in-game events in Inferno difficulty that involve a special chest or Unique monster (ex: ) will now also drop additional loot for every stack of Nephalem Valor a player has active at the time of the event’s completion</li>
<li> Several events have had Unique monsters added to them for this purpose </li>
</span></ul>
<span class="fullpost"> Experience Shrines can now appear in Inferno difficulty Two new shrines have been added to all difficulty levels:<br />
<b>Empowered Shrine</b> – Increased resource regeneration and reduced cooldowns<br />
<b>Fleeting Shrine </b>– Increased movement speed and pickup radius <br />
<br />
Followers, pets, and summoned creatures will no longer attack enemies that are in an idle state unless the player is within 10 yards of the enemy The reduction of snare effects against Elite monsters has been reduced (in the player’s favor):<br />
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="fullpost"> Normal: 20% to 0%</span></li>
<span class="fullpost">
<li>Nightmare: 30% to 15%</li>
<li>Hell: 40% to 25%</li>
<li>Inferno: 40% to 25% </li>
</span></ul>
<span class="fullpost">Crowd control effects will now be affected by diminishing returns.<br />
<br />
<b>AUCTION HOUSE</b><br />
<br />
Search parameters will now save when switching between the gold and real-money auction house <br />
<br />
An additional sortable column has been added to the results window<br />
<br />
This column will have a drop-down box populated with each of the Preferred Stats that players indicated for their search (only one Preferred Stat can be selected at a time) <br />
<br />
The Preferred Stat list is now sorted alphabetically <br />
<br />
A button has been added to allow players to quickly reset Preferred Stat filters to "None" Players can now search for +Damage on off-hand items.<br />
<br />
When searching for items to purchase, an option to "autofill" stats based on what the player is currently wearing has been added, Similarly, when selling an item, a "Find Similar" button has been added to allow players to quickly search for items currently up for auction that have similar stats <br />
<br />
<b>Bug Fixes</b><br />
<b> </b><br />
When claiming stackable items from the auction house, the claimed items will always attempt to fill out partial stacks completely before falling back to using an open slot in your inventory.<br />
<br />
The color-coding for the "Quality" drop-down menu for Pages & Recipes has been updated to match the color-coding for all other categories.<br />
<br />
Fixed a bug that was causing the minimum value for the Spirit Regen affix to not filter items correctly <br />
<br />
<b>BATTLE.NET</b><br />
<br />
The "Friend of Friend" feature for finding and adding Real ID friends is now available for Diablo III A new item delivery system has been added that will allow Blizzard to send items directly to players (you may see us testing this feature over the course of the PTR).<br />

All the upcoming changes for defensive skills coming to all the classes and ways they will be changing Inferno to go along with those changes. From Dev Journal.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
We're taking a close look at defensive skills vs. incoming monster damage in 1.0.5. We’re going to be changing a few defensive skills for each class, including direct nerfs to skills like wizard Energy Armor and the Barbarian War Cry - Impunity. However, we're also reducing incoming damage in Inferno, so players will actually come out ahead. In short the plan is:<br />
<br />
Reduce the effectiveness of select defensive skills<br />
Reduce monster damage by more than the mitigation lost by these skills<br />
Putting both changes together, players actually take less damage than before<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Why We're Making This Change</span></b><br />
<br />
Why are we doing this? The reason is not complicated. High incoming monster damage combined with extremely powerful defensive skills make those skills and runes feel mandatory. Our goal is that by simultaneously nerfing defensive skills and reducing incoming damage, players who choose to continue using these defensive skills will take less damage overall, and players who choose to forgo these "mandatory" skills will find themselves more survivable than what you would currently experience on live. Overall, these changes result in a huge buff in the player’s favor. Just how mandatory are these skills?<br />
<br />
<br />
As it is now, Energy Armor is used by 83% of level 60 wizards. Also, take a look at the distribution of the War Cry skill on level 60 barbarians:In developing Diablo III, defensive skills were made potent because we wanted to ensure they would be attractive. In some regards, we were too successful. Many players feel compelled to grab every defensive skill available to them, which can take away from some flexibility in using different build options.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_wEuk6phUvk/UFNeLi7DdWI/AAAAAAAAAn0/pNJ9s1FkCY4/s1600/Warcry.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="351" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_wEuk6phUvk/UFNeLi7DdWI/AAAAAAAAAn0/pNJ9s1FkCY4/s400/Warcry.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This also creates problems for a class that may have less defensive skills. When one class has massive defensive buffs, abilities like Mortar, Arcane Enchanted, and Plagued can feel pretty modest, and at the same time feel overly punishing to a class without them. We’re all in favor of people being able to build their character for survivability, but there needs to be a balance.So the stated goal is to make sure the combination of the defensive skill nerf combined with the reduced damage from monsters still results in an overall buff to players. Let's bust out some math! As previously mentioned, Energy Armor is one of the skills being impacted. The exact change is the base armor provided by Energy Armor is being reduced from 65% to 35%, and the resistance increase provided by Prismatic Armor is being reduced from 40% to 25%.<br />
<br />
The benefit of these skills is greater at higher levels of Armor and Resistance, so let’s assume very high numbers of each. Suppose a wizard has 6000 Armor and 800 Resist before Prismatic Armor. Assuming a level 63 enemy:<br />
<br />
In 1.0.4 this translates to 9900 Armor (75.86% mitigation) and 1120 Resist (78.05% mitigation) with Prismatic Armor, for a total mitigation of 94.70%<br />
In 1.0.5 this will be 8100 Armor (72.00% mitigation) and 1000 Resist (76.05% mitigation) with Prismatic Armor, for a total mitigation of 93.29%<br />
If a monster hits for 50,000 damage, then the damage taken by the wizard will go from 2650 damage to 3355 damage.<br />
This means incoming damage would have to be less than 79% of the current value (2650 /3355) in order for it to feel the same after 1.0.5.<br />
<br />
Based on this it’s clear that in order to ensure 1.0.5 is a net buff for all wizards we’d have to reduce incoming monster damage by at least 21%. Prismatic Armor still provides a significant boost to survivability, but it should no longer feel mandatory, opening up other options such as a more offensively minded Storm Armor (which is getting buffed in 1.0.5).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let’s do another example with the barbarian. War Cry Impunity is being reduced from 50% resistances to 20%.<br />
<br />
A barbarian with 800 resist before War Cry against a level 63 enemy translates to 1200 Resist (79.21% mitigation) with Impunity in 1.0.4<br />
In 1.0.5 this will be 960 Resist (75.29% mitigation) with Impunity<br />
If a monster hits for 20,000 damage after Armor, then the damage taken by the Barbarian will go from 4158 damage to 4942 damage<br />
This means incoming damage would have to be less than 84% of the current value on live (4158/4942) in order for the game to feel the same.<br />
<br />
As it happens, we’re going to reduce all damage in Inferno by at least 25%. Players who want to be the toughest damage mitigator in the game can continue to use defensive skills and get a sizable bonus for doing so. Players who want to use other skills can do so without sacrificing such a massive amount of survivability. Class builds that don't currently use heavy mitigation skills such as Smoke Screen-focused demon hunters or Gargantuan-tanking witch doctors will find their survivability has gone up considerably due to reduced incoming monster damage.<br />
<br />
Here's a quick rundown of what's changing in terms of defensive skills in 1.0.5.<br />
<br />
<b>Barbarian:</b><br />
<br />
<b>War Cry - Impunity</b>: Bonus resistance reduced from 50% to 20%.<br />
<b>Leap - Iron Impact</b>: We’re adjusting the design of this skill. Rather than providing 300% armor for 4 seconds, it’s going to provide 100% armor per target hit for 3 seconds. So if you don't hit any targets, you won't get any armor. If you hit 5 targets, you'll actually get 500% armor. We are making this change because the intended fantasy of Iron Impact is a barbarian who leaps into the thick of battle and is super tough. The way the skill plays out on live it is essentially an Ignore Pain that can also move you. For the most part it is better than Ignore Pain, making not only Ignore Pain unattractive, but also the other Leap Attack runes. In 1.0.5, if you want a defensive cooldown - grab Ignore Pain. If you want to leap into the thick of battle and be super tough, take Iron Impact.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Demon Hunter:</b><br />
<br />
In the case of the demon hunter, the class is a bit too binary. If you're playing a glass cannon Smoke Screen build, then you're invulnerable most of the time, and when you make a mistake, you die instantly. If you're using Shadow Power - Gloom with a legacy Natalya's set, then you have near constant uptime of 65% damage reduction, but if you're not using the legacy Natalya's set, Shadow Power - Gloom is a luxury.<br />
Independent of the general defensive skill nerf, we had already decided to <b>buff Shadow Power</b> to last longer. The primary purpose of Shadow Power is to give you a short window of time during which you can unload some damage to recoup some Life. Unfortunately the 3-second duration makes this awkward to use. We are changing Shadow Power from 20% Life Steal for 3 seconds to 15% Life Steal for 5 seconds. This should be a modest buff to the skill as well as making it a lot more pleasant to use. </span><br />
<span class="fullpost">All of the runes are scheduled to see similar changes, such as<b> Blood Moon</b> going from 30% Life Steal for 3 seconds to 25% Life Steal for 5 seconds. Each rune effect is slightly smaller, but for 5 seconds instead of 3 seconds, resulting in an overall buff over the duration of the effect.<br />
Taking into account the across-the-board nerf to defensive skills, <b>Gloom</b> will become 35% damage reduction for 5 seconds.<br />
This developer journal is focused primarily on defensive skill changes, but because the change to Gloom is significant, I want to mention that we are looking at concrete mechanics changes to the demon hunter to introduce new play styles. Many players have mentioned that outside of Gloom, demon hunters seem to lack defensive options. More importantly, demon hunters would like some different play styles, and we agree! Here are a few changes we are adding for demon hunters in 1.0.5 to open up new ways to play:<br />
We are adjusting some runes and passives to provide ways to increase survivability that scales with your Life, Armor, and resistances.<br />
We are changing the <b>Spider, Boar,</b> and <b>Wolf </b>companion pets to be actual pets that can tank for you like a Gargantuan or Zombie Dog.<br />
We are putting a short cooldown on <b>Sentry</b>, but you can have two out simultaneously. On top of that, the Custom Engineering passive will let you have a third Sentry turret! This opens up a whole new play style for the Demon Hunter of establishing a "nest" that you can draw enemies into.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Monk:</b><br />
<br />
The strongest monk defensive skill is <b>One With Everything</b>. We've mentioned it before and it bears repeating - this is something we would like to fix someday, but we're going to take our time. Changes to One With Everything heavily impact existing monk gear. We still plan on addressing this in the future but will do so in a way that does not invalidate the gear monks have invested in.<br />
<b>Resolve</b>: Damage reduction reduced from 25% to 20%.<br />
<b>Seize the Initiative</b>: Changed to grant 50% of your Dexterity as Armor. This will result in anywhere from 750 to 1250 armor for most monks (depending on your Dex) which is comparable to the mitigation lost by other classes. The reduction to Resolve and Seize the Initiative should mean if you want to be a “Super Tanky Monk” you can still take all three defensive skills, but it should be a lot easier to pick some other passives without feeling like you’re going to blow up at the first Elite pack you encounter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br />
Witch Doctor:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Jungle Fortitude</b> is being reduced from 20% to 15% damage reduction.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Wizard:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Energy Armor</b>: Armor increase reduced from 65% to 35%.<br />
<b>Energy Armor - Prismatic Armor</b>: Resistance increase reduced from 40% to 25%.<br />
It’s worth noting that we’re going to provide additional alternative defensive options for the wizard such as adding flat melee damage reduction to Ice Armor and creating a Familiar variant that provides passive Life regeneration.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br />
- Why You Nerf Inferno?</b></span><br />
<br />
Alright, so let's recap. <b>Defensive skills are taking a hit in 1.0.5</b>, but incoming damage from monsters is also being reduced. Taken together, the changes mean Inferno is going to be easier. For some of you this is totally cool; you welcome an easier Inferno because it’s about efficiency and not difficulty. For others, you may be skeptical but you're at least intrigued at the possibility that you'll be able to drop some defensive skills and discover some new builds. However, for others, Inferno is currently already too easy. Maybe you don't use any defensive skills; maybe your gear is so good you dropped War Cry - Impunity weeks ago. For this last group you may be wondering "Another Inferno nerf? But I crave more of a challenge, not less!"<br />
<br />
<br />
For people in this last group, 1.0.5 is bringing the "Monster Power" system. The details of this system will be outlined as we get closer to 1.0.5, but in short this is a callback to the Diablo II ”players X” option, allowing you to increase the level of challenge for increased rewards. Our hope is that we can make Inferno easier while simultaneously providing new ways for top-end players to gauge their increasing power in tangible ways.<br />

<br />
Some more info from Blizzard with future 1.05 patch changes.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
Posted from Blizzard D3 Site<br />
<br />
We’ll have articles in the coming days providing all the details on the upcoming patch, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek at what major features to expect.<br />
<br />
<br />
Defensive Skill Changes<br />
<br />
In our eternal quest to promote build diversity; we’ll be making changes to defensive skills across the board while simultaneously reducing incoming damage. The net result is a survivability buff for players, and an increase in build options as defensive abilities become less “mandatory.”<br />
<br />
<br />
New Event: Infernal Machine<br />
<br />
The Infernal Machine is a device that will allow level-60 players to battle “uber” versions of some of Sanctuary’s most nefarious bosses. While the rewards for defeating these bosses will be great, some assembly is required.<br />
<br />
<br />
New System: Monster Power<br />
<br />
Similar to the “Players 8” command in Diablo II, the Monster Power system is designed to give players more control over how challenging enemies are in each difficulty.<br />
<br />
<br />
This and more is coming in Patch 1.0.5! Stay tuned for all the gory details.<br />
<br />

Bar-codes placed inside your World of Warcraft screen shots were found to contain encrypted information about you.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
Inside the very center of any screen shot taking inside the WoW Screenshot tool has a barcode which displays information about your Username, Server IP address and the time the screen shot was taken. Up above is a sample taken from a screen shot that has been sharpened to show the code.<br />
<br />
It doesn't look like any personal information is encrypted inside your images. Dating back to WotLK patch is when we can first see this being used.<br />
<br />

<br />
Okay lots of work was put into this method. With this you can permanently AFK level your paragon or a new character. We will use the death survival bonus when within 5% of life left after combat.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
The spot I will talk about uses the poison fire on the way to Belial in the Act 2 Palace <b>Normal Mode</b>. I receive 335 experience when I survive a near-death. This method will allow you to get double that up to 670 exp. The best part of it all we will make that experience come in every second for as long as we AFK. Using resistance and Life Regen items we can make this happen permanently.<br />
<br />
<b>How To:</b><br />
We must balance our life regeneration and poison resistance to reach a perfect balance to we can stay within 5% of life left to receive the survival bonus and to not heal more than that.<br />
<br />
Find the spot I listed in the screen shot above in the act 2 palace. If you get it perfect you will be able to intersect to poison paths. Now balance your resistances and poison so that you stay at the same amount of life indefinitely. (Getting within 0.2% will allow you to afk about 6 hours.)<br />
<br />
<b>The actual damage spots do not line up with the graphics in the game.</b> Don't get to held up on where it looks like the fire is coming from and experiment.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Added Experience from gear will not work. Don't bother.</b><br />
<br />
Here is a way to calculate how much Life Regen you will need.<br />
<b>1)</b> Write down your current health (A)<br />
<b>2)</b> Go on the green fire for 1 cycle<br />
<b>3)</b> Write down your health (B)<br />
<b>4)</b> Do this equation" (Life Regen I Need) = [(A)-(B)]/5 . In simple words calculate the damage you will receive and divide it by 5. That is the Health Regeneration / Second you need for this to work for your Character.<br />
<br />

Simple trick to make gold and have items sent from the dungeons you queue for.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
First join the LFG queue and once inside a dungeon make your way to any boss. This will not work if any trash mobs are present so make sure they are cleared.<br />
2) Once at the boss you want the items from go ahead and attack the boss. You don't need to stay long just 2-3 attacks and then right click your portrait and leave instance.<br />
3) Once out of the dungeon just requeue and do the same thing.<br />
<br />
About 1-5 minutes after leaving an instance you will get the drops you would have rolled for and gold in the mail. <b>*</b>This only works if the party you leave kills the boss.<br />
<br />
<b>Notice:</b><br />
You must kill the first boss in every instance or you will become a deserter.<br />
I was able to continuously be sent 25 gold mails along with drops if the party rolled greed.<br />
<br />

This will only work offline now due to the beta hasn't started but I've found the download links and I'll tell you how to play!<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
Okay first the download locations. <a href="https://us.battle.net/account/management/sc2/dashboard-hots-beta.html">Download from Blizzard US</a> - <a href="https://eu.battle.net/account/management/sc2/dashboard-hots-beta.html">Download from Blizzard Europe</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I've updated how to play more efficiently. The old method is still below.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>New Method:</b></span><br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> Make sure you downloaded the client from above and install. If you get any errors be sure to remove any old Starcraft 2 Beta files on your computer.<br />
<br />
<b>2) </b>Download the Map Pack for updated maps AI improvements. Extract once downloaded. <a href="http://cleanfiles.net/?3824">Click Here to Download Map Pack Antiga Shipyard.</a><br />
<br />
Antiga Shipyard is provided with different computer AIs. The default one is <b>BNET AI very easy</b> which can be very easy and boring. The other ones are based on Green Tea AI with four levels of difficulty without resources cheating. <b>GT AI Hard </b>is similar to a gold/platinum human player. <br />
<br />
<b>3)</b> If experienced with opening the maps go ahead and play or else more steps below to walkthrough the process.<br />
<br />
<b>4)</b> Open the Starcraft II Beta Map Editor.<br />
<br />
<b>5)</b> Open a HOTS Beta Map from the modified Pack.<br />
<br />
<b>6) </b>Click YES when the dependency box appears.<br />
<br />
<b>7)</b> You might have to adjust some of the Map > Player Properties to select your race and computer opponents.<br />
<br />
<b>8)</b> Also adjust the File > Preferences for Game Speed settings.<br />
<br />
<b>9)</b> Go to File > Test Document to play.<br />
<br />
<b>If an error pops up just uncheck the box!</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Old Method:</b></span><br />
Now if you were in the Arcade 1.5 beta you must clear the cache and uninstall any remains of it.<br />
<br />
Now the beta is installed to play offline you open up the map editor. Ai opponents can be added by going in to player properties and change players to AI, set their difficulty and even their race. You can also give them a head start in tech or units, anything you want really. Just make sure to add their starting points to a map or use one with them added.<br />
<br />
In the editor just load from there and you are able to play the beta before the servers come up.<br />
<br />
If the above doesn't work try these steps.<br />
<br />
<b>1) </b>Download <a href="http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html">MPQEditor Link</a><br />
<b>2)</b> Open it<br />
<b>3) </b>Open the swarm files (Swarm.SC2Mod) and extract them to a temporary folder (1 by 1 or else it will lose data because the mqp editor doesn't seem to be fully compatible with these files, some files will ask you to overwrite <b>I hit no</b> to everything)<br />
<b>4)</b> Open the editor, New -> Mod -> WoL dependency. Save As, file type "SC2Components", hit save<br />
<b>5)</b> This will create a new folder. For me it's StarCraft II 2012 Beta\Mods\merge.SC2Mod (folder)<br />
<b>6)</b> Paste your extracted contents (step 3) in this new folder<br />
<b>7) </b>Reopen the editor, open the merge.SC2Mod folder (for me it created some errors but it ended up okay)<br />
<b>8)</b> Save it as .SC2Mod (file), this will take a while<br />
<b>9)</b> In the editor New -> Training map -> Custom -> Modify -> Add other -> merge.SC2Mod (file)<br />
<br />
Here is a look at merging.<br />

Simple process to get extra experience while you sleep. I average about 1 million experience an hour.<br />
<span class="fullpost"><br />
<br />
This works best in Act2. I use the Vault of the Assassins quest. Easily done in Nightmare, Possible to do in Hell mode with good gear that doesn't need to be repaired and very high life regeneration. Inside the tomb do the following.<br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> Find 2-3 Spider Spawning Statues close together.<br />
<b>2)</b> Stand so that all of them are casting on you at the same time.<br />
<b>3)</b> You will need some type of thorns damage, either from gear or skills. If gear make sure it is invulnerable and doesn't need to be repaired.<br />
<b>4)</b> Set a macro or have a button held down to cast continuously so you're not kicked from being idle.<br />
<br />
Life regeneration on gear that is invulnerable will help greatly. The kill streaks will continue to build while you're AFK so make sure you leave combat before you exit the game. <b>*</b>Also leave your follower in town.<br />
