We were just talking about it last night, the 2 handed weapons seem to be pretty sad even with a socket. Two 1 handed weapons with sockets is so far superior that it is a waste of time to use a 2 hander. Maybe give the Barb ability to dual wield 2 handed weapons with a penalty of some sort?
Yeah, there's just a lot of flavor stuff like that missing. Remember elemental modifiers that meant something in D2? Lightning had a chance to stun things, fire did a dot and so on. You could add sockets to items through a quest or reroll a weapon. I think the biggest problem with 2Hers right now is that only a Wizard or WD can make great use of them on the higher difficulties, you pretty much need a sword/board to survive as melee. Dual wielding two handers is another obvious ability, I'm pretty sure most would prefer that to Throw Weapon or whatever. Although ironically Throw Weapon isn't half bad considering Inferno consists entirely of kiting.
Also its pretty funny that Monk has the best summon in the Ally ability. It inherits your stats/resists, buffs and actually does damage.

Anyone else remember their last found upgrade?
They didn't really beta test any of that stuff (externally), it was more about client/server stuff. I don't think Inferno really got beta tested properly at all. Its weird, Diablo 3 is a game with a lot of polish that still appears to be rushed in many ways - skill problems on higher difficulties, loot system issues, overall difficulty curve all out of whack and etc.
I farmed A3/4 on Inferno already doing chest runs and the drops aren't really more interesting, just more valuable to sell on the AH. When I look at the loot there isn't really anything I want to go collect, none of that "whoa that item has teleport, must have!" type feel. Even the set bonuses manage to be pretty boring, I think I saw one or two I cared about.
Anyways I hope they really sit down and re-examine the loot table and the difficulty curve if nothing else. Witch Doctors and Barbs could really use some love too, they have so many abilities that just don't work on the higher difficulties.

You'd think that a bug where people get achieves they haven't earned just by joining games would show up even on minimal internal testing of the patch. Are they letting us beta test the patches now?
After 100 hours, it only happened 1x for me. I had been in many games where my friends had gotten cheevos for jewel crafter or blacksmith - and I didn't get it then. I dunno. Weird stuff.

While I'm sure the intent was mostly sarcasm, the 1.03 patch, which is due by the end of the month, will adjust the loot tables to make inferno farming somewhat more viable. Source.
Until then I am gone.
Im really getting sick of only being able to farm act 1 inferno and only see crap drop that maybe sells for 5k.
I think they want me to play a demon hunter, cause every other drop is a quiver or occasionally a hand crossbow. I don't know the last time I saw a wand drop, sometime back in nightmare I think :/
Even with full stacks of Nephalem and I see drops explode off a boss I have a hard time getting excited about it.
It's no better for us Demon Hunters. I seem to get more wands and monk gear.

Waiting for the "hotfix" that adjusts loot tables to actually drop rewarding gear that allows people progress without playing Blizzards new Auction House game. I'd rather pay the iron price for my gear, not the gold (or USD).
You always get better results when you pay the iron price.
