TDP #139: “RoSS” Reviews and Crusader Patch Buffs

Patch 2.0.4 brought big changes and buffs, including major changes to skills, especially for the Crusader. Is the class awesome now? Also, Reaper of Souls reviews are running lower scores than D3, even though everyone says RoS is a big improvement. Rush of IncGamers.com discusses the sad state of gaming reviews and “journalism.” Podcast features Flux, Rush, and Katniss.



TDP #140: The “Weakest” Crusader, Torment, and Toughness

Diablo 3 conspiracy theories! Can RNG can be cheated, do we know the weighting for all legendary drops, and more. Also the joy of clans, legendary material hunting, and feeling forced to play Torment. Featuring Flux, Rankil, and Muggs.


TDP #142: Crusader Buffs and Patch 2.0.5

Patch 2.0.5 buffed many things, but most of all the Crusader. Is the class awesome now? Xanth argues that WD is the best class. Community double legendary drop rate should last forever? How would Diablo 3 change with hard caps on Crit Chance and Crit Damage?

TDP #145: Greater Rifts and Monk Problems

Greater Rifts are a great new feature, but there are pros and cons. Monks are not so great, with devoted Monastics deeply worried about the class. Higher difficulty is the source of all rewards in RoS, putting huge pressure on the devs to balance the classes. Show features Xanth, Neinball, and Flux.
