As far as the beta goes they use two spells.

meant tera ><

chose a bad time to make that post didn't I


anyways, I did monk/barb on the d3 beta. My computer vomits when I play, so I ordered a new one.

In my battle.net account i've been hoping to get the beta for over a year now and i still haven't gotten it -.- so sad

best dps rotation on a sorc seems to be:
ice, magma, lock-on aoe, arcane pulse, dot aoe
cycling back to spam ice + magma as soon as the cds are up. basically all your insta-cast skills supplemented with autoattacks. only use the chargeup mana skill as you're changing position - you can't cast other skills while moving, but you can that. no wasted dps, using it while you could be AAing or whatever.

no point overspamming the lockon aoe or 4s aoe if you have to charge mana midfight to continue - lost time, 0dps, etc.

arcane's a chargeup, but it's terrible dps to charge it up. you can just tap the button & release.

4s aoe nuke is good once glyphed for higher aoe dmg/multiple targets. or -cast time, although im not sure how it compares.

arcane :is: good dps when used on multiple mobs. the dmg is applied on-hit, that is, whatever the orb collides with - it isn't affected by the multiple mob dmg split other aoe skills suffer from.

Same. My computer is like not amazing, but it's not bad. I need to upgrade before D3 comes out for sure.

what about pvp

how many skills are useful for pvp

pvp at low levels are for twats. It's pointless to care about that shit until full version comes out. Besides, they've said like the normal version on beta is like rainbows and candyland mode and inferno mode is actually insanely hard. I'm crazy excited to play a difficult game. It's been so long since I've had a challenge from computers.

basically, you wanna slow the shit outta ppl or work w others, long enough to get your sleep off. it's a 2.5s? cast i think. for a 4-6s frontal aoe sleep. chain that into your huge nuke, and ppl just flop over.
i glyphed my ice projectile for -cd, for spammability/dps - for pvp, maybe see if there's a higher freeze rate or longer freeze or something. it's only 20% slow, and basically a telephone punch, since it travels so slowly, it's easily dodged.

you do get a 70% aoe ice skill - it's like a backwards warp thing. you freeze w/e's in 8m around you and flip backwards.
you also get a 60s cd root (targetable, 3-4 targets), breaks on damage or after 6s ish.
and the lockon-aoe that does mid-range dmg, but can be locked while moving.

magma pretty useful still. arcane too dodgeable.
dot aoe useful, but long cd, and the dot barely scratches people. it's just for that initial dmg, I guess.

bahahaha glad i didint buy tera yesterday

why? d3 plays like monotonous balls
