Diablo 3 - Lifesteal Nerf

Diablo 3 - Lifesteal Nerf

It seems that Blizzard is really pushing to find a good solution to replace the current lifesteal mechanics in Diablo 3. As it stands now most characters are geared to 100,000 DPS or better. At these damage numbers, life steal is just too powerful.

Many heroes die today due to lag, disconnects, or high spike damage - which in some cases has to be a big enough spike to one shot someone. This is largely due to life steal healing for much more life in a very short period of time on account of very high damage out put, and increased monster density on higher monster powers of Inferno.

Diablo 3 - Loot 2.0 - Response to Kripparrian's Loot Future

Kripparrian, a fairly popular gamer on YouTube, likes to speak his mind quite a bit. And he should - that's what freedom of speech is all about, right?

Unfortunately what he said recently in regards to an up coming patch to Diablo 3 is highly misinformed. He hasn't even played the game in something like 6 months or more, and clearly doesn't even stay up to date with the current state of the game. Yet he just milks his subscribers for cheap views and easy money.

Check out this video to see what I think of his comments regarding the up coming loot 2.0 changes, and for a link to Kripparrian's video on the subject as well. The link to Kripp's video is within my YouTube video's description. You will probably have to view the video on YouTube to access this information.
