    Trash. I think 1986 gauntlet has more depth, more players in a party, more mob density, and had developers that actually cared about the game.

    Unless there's a day one patch with a nerf to Twisting Blades rogue, nothing else can touch that at the moment for leveling power and efficiency.

    Yeah but I just don’t like the Rogue. I’m tempted to do Necro because that was always my plan until the overnerf. I didnt overdo the last test so I just got a sorc 20 and killed Ashava for the achievement

    Necro is still good - just not a full minion build. The Golem will still be useful though. I'm undecided about starting with Lightning Sorc and maybe switching it to fire after Firewall or bone Necro but those classes will definitely be my first two.

    Mine as well.  Im leaning Bone Necro.  I like blowing stuff up as the Sorc but Ive planned on necro since the game was announced.  Just that that skeleton nerf was brutal.

    I am ready to play but got the feeling it will be the typical 5 hour queue because Blizzard will never pay to have enough servers to get everyone into the game in a timely manner.

    This is one of the reasons I don't bother at launch; but good luck to those with the patience to dive into a game that's such a mega launch like this is.

    The open beta a few weeks ago had zero queues.  Now whether that was from performance improvement or decreased interest I do not know.  But I was amazed that I never had a queue

    The queue counter pop at 1 second a couple of times when I logged in, but started to load in before that screen could even finish. I also wondered if the player response was just really light, or Blizz actually had load servers tuned and ready.

    What is it about fire and lightning over the control of ice that is more attractive? Lightning control seemed very short (like 2 second stuns) with some knockback skills later on. Does the damage of fire and/or lightning outweigh the control ice offers? Hydra looks interesting, but all the spells at that tier seem decent.

    I skipped the last beta but the closed beta had queues which didn't seem right. At one point I had a queue of 10 hours. I really doubt that there will not be queues. The only time I could log on without a queue was in the middle of the night.

    For me, it's a matter of never doing Diablo ice builds in D3 or here, and that's mostly due to the Frozen Orb mechanics which I've never been a fan of. It does most of its damage when it finishes traveling and explodes and that's not when it hits something but at a set distance from where you cast it. It just feels too fiddly especially when a mob pack rushes you as they usually do and the explosion happens at an empty spot with no mobs around. It feels like I waste its damage potential more often than not.

    Edit: Also any Sorc build can use all 3 elements. Here's a build I saw a few days ago that is primarily a Chain Lightning build that uses Frost Nova to proc "vulnerable" and Fire Bolt in an enchantment slot just to make everything burn and take advantage of burn passives for heals, resource regen, etc.

    I disagree, they're very well done and while they don't speak to the quality of a game, they do create a sort of excitement about the premise.

    When I first saw the Skyrim live action trailer, I knew that I absolutely loved the setting.

    Not to mention wanting to see that movie.

    Here's what i want to know before i throw $100 usd at it; are the maps/dungeons/zones/whatever- randomly generated?

    Because it would be really nice to get back to the oldschool feel of a randomly generated dungeon that i haven't seen 900,000 times (looking at you Diablo 3).

    EDIT: nevermind, found my answer in a cute reddit chain.  xD

    Blizzard cinematics and trailers are the best. Even for the games I don't like, they make awesome trailers.
