I've gotten to level 15, it gets pretty intense around level 9.

For anyone who didn't know, D3 is having an open beta weekend (I'm guessing stress test) starting today at 12 PST (global time).

Clearly your computer is overdosing on all that ****.

The healing set up seems to go okay, and I don't usually have problems with what Wynne is thinking. If there's a problem pausing to have Morrigan throw an extra heal seems to cover things fine, or I'll throw out the group heal or rez or whatever. It's easy enough to make sure my 4th person simply deals out damage to whatever my main character is hurting, so that's not really an issue either.

I've given up using tactics for CC though. I don't know what it is about the logic there, but it's terrible. Having your tank shield slam something then having that CC negated by a mind blast or whatever is just silliness. I'm really tired of burning 40 second CDs because the computer can't aim glyphs right, prematurely setting off mind blast, launching sleep somewhere questionable, or any number of things. It's the type of thing that when you miss you have to pop potions (ugh I hate burning money there), you take more damage than necessary, etc.

Simple stuff I can play through through pretty easy without any real pausing. I'll usually just stop it initially, throw my glyphs, and then just let things play out from then on. Anything that requires any thought though will be paused frequently, especially in the beginning, and then later on once CC abilities start to come off of CD. Maybe I'm still doing it wrong but I can't imagine doing an encounter of any real difficulty without at least some pausing.

You're welcome, I didn't think it was a particularly interesting AMA but I don't know any of the names or any context whatsoever so I figured most of the fun parts were lost on me.

Koen, Koen, Koen...my karma camper friend, now go make me my chicken pot pie, ******!

I haven't invested any advanced tactics with Leliana, which is who I have taught the trap stuff. I don't make traps with it, I just taught it to her so she can detect them and keep people from setting them off. What amuses me, is when I'm controlling my character, and I hear her say the "trap right ahead!" alert, and then she walks right into it. >.< I mean, really?

I'm going to start needing to invest in adv. tactics with her though, as she currently doesn't have anymore space to add abilities and I almost have the archery tree completed. I need to figure out a way to get Scattershot in there!

Look out! There's a trap, right here!

Edit: Xsarus, pick a beer!

Something Hoppy or Dark.

Go Val-Dieu Brune.

Sorry. =/ I'm just a bit obsessed with the game, if you couldn't tell. I've got to do something to keep my mind occupied. Although I really should start working on learning my lines for Grease...

It is a stress test. Not on the game, but on the players.
