It is dealing 1500% damage it is working as it was designed.We did not intend for the rune to deal 1500% weapon damage over 3 seconds. The value we're reducing it to (300% weapon damage over 3 seconds) is what we originally designed for the rune in 1.0.4.So what's bugged? The fire on the…

In patch 1.0.5, we will be fixing a bug with Trail of Cinders that is causing the rune to deal five times more damage than intended. As a result of this fix, the amount of damage done by Trail of Cinders will be reduced from its current value (1500% weapon damage over 3 seconds) to the value we originally designed for 1.0.4, which is 300% weapon damage over 3 seconds. While this bug was discovered…

The "+x% Elemental Damage" affix works by adding "x%" of your physical damage to your attack, in the form of the damage type listed. So, really basic example:Your physical damage is 100, and the item adds +3% Fire damage.You gain 3 extra damage to your attacks as Fire damage.Things this takes into account:Rings, mojos, orbs (etc) that have an "X-Y" damage affix (e.g. "1-2 Damage")The base damage r…

1 : When I'm dead on the ground and my buddies kill the champions/elites, does my mf counts even if I'm dead?Yep, your MF/GF still count when you're dead and a monster dies.2 : Is it just me or more I die more I get bad loot?I think your second question may be relaying personal experience, but I still want to assure you that player death does not influence loot drops.
General Discussion - Two questions.

We're definitely aware that Legendary item drops can be difficult to see against certain textures, and that this can sometimes cause players to miss those drops completely. While we'd like to avoid changing the actual color of the drops, we've been discussing a number of ways to make Legendary items on the ground more visible to the player. We've considered adding a new special sound, for example,…
General Discussion - Make the legendary drops more noticeable, plz

You just may be the strongest player in your neighborhood, but that is only because yetis rarely leave their icy caves.

We sincerely appreciate the time and effort that goes into compiling feedback into threads such as this one. We're constantly reading the critiques and suggestions players share on the forums and frequently relay this information to our developers. That being said, I wanted to jump in really quickly to say that as this is a feedback thread, it is not a type of thread that would be considered for s…

I think that he, like most characters, would believe that he was the hero of his own story. Whether others view his actions and motivations as good, evil, or somewhere in-between depends entirely on their perspective.
General Discussion - I still think Zoltun Kulle was good.

PAX Prime begins this Friday in Seattle, WA, and with all of the madness that’s sure to ensue we’d be remiss if we didn’t make a cameo of our own. We do hope you’ll come visit Bashiok and me at the Intel booth, and Nethaera and Vaeflare at the NVIDIA booth. You can’t miss us. We’ll be the bright-eyed idealists ready to share a conversation or two.In addition to what Intel and NVIDIA have planned, …

The Magic Find and Gold Find percentages for both follower contributions and Fortune Shrine bonuses are intended to respect the 300% MF/GF cap. Nephalem Valor bonuses will continue to stack beyond this cap, however. That said, we’ve seen some posts that MF/GF contributions from followers may currently be stacking above the cap, and we’re looking into those reports.
General Discussion - Can a Blue settle this Max MF dispute!?

I just wanted to swing by to confirm that +EXP gear and gems on followers indeed counts towards your Paragon experience gains. Much like Magic Find and Gold Find, 20% of your followers +EXP will apply to your hero, although unlike MF and GF, +EXP does not have a cap.(Next Blizzard Post)
General Discussion - EXP from followers???

Certain attacks and less-common environmental hazards -- such as the fire created on the ground by Skeletal Mages – do lots of small, rapid attacks that can quickly damage Zombie Dogs and Gargantuans. We know this type of damage can be difficult to predict, so we’re looking into having these spells do reduced damage to pets, much like we did for Plague, Molten, and Desecrator.
General Discussion - Blue, important question regarding Zombie dog

Update 11:45 a.m. PDT: All Diablo III servers are now live. If your Auction House button is grayed out: To help reduce load and improve the overall stability of the auction house system, the game may temporarily limit traffic to the auction house during peak gaming hours. This is done automatically, and players may occasionally see a grayed-out auction house button as a result. If the auction hous…
