Diablo® III

:( you are making me a sad panda, o well good to know. So what I have read strafe priorities environment(like barrel)before monster?.

What I have seen in beta stream hungering arrow seems to be overpowered with piercing. Seen it pierce 3 time in a row that's pretty wicked, just keep spamming it 24/7 and kill everything with ease..

I think it prioritizes environment the same as mobs, but that's really a problem. I just doesn't hit too much and you need to be closeby. I think it's a great ability to make easy packs even easier, but probably won't help so much when it matters.

Sounds like !@#$, oh well :)

Just saw it in a video, thought it looked kinda cool actually... Gonna have to try it out for myself to know for sure.

For the record, its basically what the DH is doing in this pic:

Looks like one of those skills that's either horrible or amazing, depending on your gear, runes and other skills.

Considering that in Diablo 3 you move by clicking on things the ability to have auto-aim while moving at the same time could be quite powerful.

The raw damage it does seems kind of low, but if you combined it with Shadow Power, fast weapons and freezing or poison it could be pretty awesome.

It really should prioritize monsters over random junk, though.

Heard that they change shadow power, they removed the attack speed instead they implemented some kind of healing/overtime but l can't say if its true or not.

strafe is awesome, I dont see why so many dislikes that great ability?

packs get destroyed instantly by shooting 1-2 bola shots and then use strafe quickly!

however since you need to be pretty close to the enemies this ability might be bad on harder difficulty levels since you may get hit alot and die, but that we do not know yet.

This is purely based on what i read in the US forums so take it with a grain of salt(I don't have beta access).

Strafe does hit environment destroyables BUT if there's a monster in range, it will target it first.
It is also supposed to have a very large range, allowing you to shoot monsters on top of stairs for instance.

Well they are mostly complaining about Strafe hitting environment instead of the monster. I'm going for it and I don't really care what they really say it fits me perfectly. If you just pick because for example forum thread Hungering Arrow is doing 256% more damage then it's kind of stupid.

Already read some of the post about skills in Usa Diablo forum, and I don't know what to say its just sad. sure everybody want to be overpowered and it's fine in some point but being whine/force complain and saying don't pick this skills and this abilities, and then just drag up there theory crafting and maths I don't really see any point in it.

If its "unbalance" it will be fixed. Play it with your "style" of customization not because X is doing 1dps more damage than Y, all skills and abilities are viable depending on situation.
