It's been a while. I don't know why I didn't get my ass in gear to post. This is healing for me and sometimes, despite knowing what's best - I just don't do it because I'm human and retarded.
Lol, sorry if this post is lame. I had to take a benedryl last night because I had an allergic reaction to something and I'm still groggy. Yeah, my mouth and throat got itchy, then I broke out in hives all over my body. WTF!! LOL I didn't eat anything crazy.
(God it bugs me when my eyelashes touch my glasses. This is just one of the many reasons I don't like wearing them. #beautifulpeopleproblems)

Okay so last night was a bit of awesomeness in itself.
I've started playing D3 with a bunch of my good old friends.
A few weeks ago, I started playing D3, because my bestie had gifted me the collector's edition. :) I didn't know how much I would be able to play, but I was super excited anyway. I loved Diablo & D2 (despite I didn't play as much in D2, I still had max characters, etc).
I had this lvl 70 monk that was fun...but I played her because at the time, demon hunters (despite my attraction to them) seemed so intimidating. I'm a retard and shouldn't second guess my abilities. We are our own worst critics.
Now, Eihcim, my demon hunter is my main.
She is geared to the teeth. Don't get me wrong, she's still got a ways to go, and doesn't have the best rolls for all her gear, but's she's as close to complete best in slot that Kadala (this gear vendor) will allow for only playing for 100 hours.
A few days ago, my good friend Riki told me to come with him to do a lvl 43 rift. He's been grooming me to be this fucking badass dh. Literally.
Literally learned the intricacies of Demon Hunter sentry break points. My mind was blown. I proceeded to research the snot out of this the days after and feel comfortable saying that I'm in the process of mastering the art of maximum dps based on the gaming holy trinity: crit hit, crit hit chance, and attack speed. :)
Anyway, because of all of this, I've learned how to maximize the dps of my character.
My first biggest crit was a few days ago - 56.8 million. I know it doesn't sound like much - considering Justin's monk crits from 75-100mil. The difference is that I don't do that on occasion. I crit big numbers like that milliseconds apart. Not always that high, but pretty high. :)
Because of my new crits, Riki took me to a scary lvl 43 grift with his leet friends. When they saw me, they were defintiely not impressed with my lack of paragon levels and some of the bad reforging choices I had made when I had started D3 again. Hey, I was learning how to re-forge and made some mistakes along the way.
I was obviously the most super gimp person out of that entire group. His friend even commented saying that this was pointless. I seriously wanted to cry, LOL. As stupid as that sounds - it's a game, who gives a shit? I give a shit because I know what the numbers mean. I know what the average capable output of dps is from someone with my gear & paragon level. And not to be a cocky asshole, I also know that I'm not average (lol). Riki knows that I'm not average and to be honest, he has more faith in my ability than I do most of the time.
He calmed his friends down and said it would be fine. I stress because I don't want to be heavy in our party and hold us back. He assured me that I wouldn't be the heavy one and that he was concerned about our Crusader tank.
Anyway, we did it. We beat the 43. I beat my first 43!!! :) It puts me on a different level of pwnage now - which feels pretty great. :) I did this all WITHOUT taskers & theo, the illusive gloves that provide me with a 1/3 more overall dps increase. Yeah, what. I worked on upgrading my pieces and rerolled, regemmed so hard that I basically have as close to best in slot as I could possibly have without it. I basically brought myself to a point where if I didn't have it, I would still be fucking awesome and if I did get it, it would have to be a fucking awesome roll to improve the dps that I already have. Basically, I made it so taskers and theo would be a comparable side-grade. :P I AM THAT much of a bitter nerd. ;) hahahaha
SO that was a few days ago. This weekend was rockstar status. Seriously rockstar status.
Riki, Osaka, and I 3 manned high 30's last night. I shouldn't even say we just 3 manned them. We fucking slayed them.
I was telling Riki last night - that I should reroll as a Witch Doctor, because our clan has adequate enough damage dealers (dps) but we have a serious lack of support classes. Riki's demon hunter is too crucial for him to play his witch doctor. He's our main dps (and fucking blows me out of the water, hypothetically). He doesn't think he blows me out of the water so much anymore - despite the fact that he has T&T. I have a bunch of pieces that are higher in slot than his - and my overall dps is comparable. YES, I am reaching Riki status and it is better than an orgasm. It's like - my heart feels full of "HA HA I CAN SEE THE TOP of this bloody fucking stupid mountain"!
He said No quickly to my offer of maining as a witch doctor for support. Not that I couldn't do it (or wasn't capable), he just said my dps was too important for the composition of our group. I think he knew something I didn't and this morning I'm figuring it out. :P
We went last night to high 38s. Riki quickly switched to his Witch Doctor, cc/resist tanking. I AM IN LOVE hahaha (with his totem, LMAO!). He completely went fucking support class spec, so we wouldn't have to find someone. I out damage Osaka now. I KILL OFFICERS A LOT, LOL!! Even when i play with riki's dh, I get them at least 1/3 of the time, despite my attack speed being a break point bracket slower.
Anyway, Riki put his 30% dps totem down and while we rotated howls (demon hunter 30% dps increase buff), I was fucking critting for over 100million repeatedly. Not only was i critting big numbers, MYYYYYYYY damage output was over 2.6 million. God I wish I had a screenshot, but I was too busy fucking cackling my ass off and trying not to die. Riki and Osaka's highest was 2.4 with the buff. I HAVE HAVE HAVE reached BEASTMODE.
AHHH no wonder he doesn't want me to switch!!! XD
I had to give her a new outfit to show her badassness. :P
K sorry about my long and convoluted d3 rant. I'm just stoked. Hoping to post my 2.6million output dmg screenshot soon. :)
Fuck Etrayu and T&T. I don't need them. I'm Michie.
