Def the best game on the SNES besides maybe Zelda/Mario

In my eyes it is almost like an investment, for some reason I am able to play SNES games over and over through the years far more than any other system. I remember buying Final Fantasy 3 in high school for like $30 thinking it was totally not worth it, but I have probably invested over 200 hours playing it since then. Super Mario RPG and the Secret of Mana are in the same boat.

The only SNES staple I've ever not become completely infatuated with was Earthbound. I cannot play that game without completely losing interest.

Seems like I heard somewhere that they put it out on another system though?

Playstation. It was re-released alongside FFIV, and called "Final Fantasy Chronicles". It's a pretty good 2-in-1 if you don't have the originals.

Pretty much the only one of my SNES favourites that I don't own (yet) is Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals. I plan to remedy that lacuna rather soon, however. I still love the SNES and its RPGs sooooooooo much!

Chrono Trigger was also on PS1 (with load times!).
The Japan-Only DQs both have NintenDS releases, but they changed things (V made better, VI made worse). V has a PS2 Japan-only release that's better than the SNES version.

I didn't expect to get this tired of it this quickly.

Yeah, I'm not done Inferno either. I'm too strong for A1, too weak for A2, and somehow managed to make it to A3. So the last while that I played, all I did was farm A1 over and over and over, mostly just hoping for gold I could use in the GAH. Not only was that not an effective strategy, but it made me so sick of A1 that I don't feel like rolling any new characters, since I'd just end up grinding through A1 even more slowly.

Why I stopped playing, new gear on GAH is to expensive, no point in farming act 2, don't have gear for act 3, and act 1 is boring as all hell.

Though to be honest, even If I could farm act 3, I'm not so sure I would, as there is really nothing worth farming for, gold is worthless, and the godly items are one in a billion, and even then are usually just a small % better then what your using...seems....so pointless..

At least in D2 grouping was interesting.

I reactivated my WoW account on a scroll.... we'll see if I actually end up paying for it or not.

I dunno about the other classes, but I chose a WD, which it turns out is extremely underpowered (hell, a number of our skills still don't work properly, let alone well/powerfully) and gear-dependent. I still love the concept of a WD, but I should have known it would suffer from the same problems the Druid did for most of LOD. If you've got a build that makes later inferno content super-easy, I wouldn't mind knowing it. :P

I have one friend that still plays, but we never played together before. He claims to be really good, but also likes to brag about how many lvl 85 chars he has. In my experience, people who think having a lot of high lvl characters makes them good are in fact just terrible. I haven't taken advantage of the server/faction transfer to play on his server yet tho. Still debating it.

I've been wheeling and dealing at the AH for the past week or so, making roughly 5 - 10 mil gold per day just by flipping items. It takes very little effort and not time consuming at all. It's much more efficient than farming endlessly for the right items. If anyone is interested, shoot me a pm and I will let you know the details

I bought the boot pattern when they couldn't be sold on the AH (along with bracer, chest, and pants). I just make a ton of boots and typically I break even and occasionally I score a nice pair that sells for a ton. The biggest difficulty is selling something that has stat/vita/resists/run speed because people can't search for it directly.

monks aren't too bad to gear. They can cheat by using the stack resist passive. Just get 800 life on hit off your rings/neck/weapon gem. Don't dual wield, get a sacred shield w/ 18%+ block chance. Stack resists to 1k... again monks cheat so its not too hard. Prioritize survivability and only pick up DPS stats if the item also functions for survivability for you.

I found that the AH is now flooded with average stuff, and everyone is already at level 60 looking for upgrades, so if the stuff you put on AH isn't semi-godly at the very least, they are pretty hard to move. However, the supply for decent boots are surprisingly low, so I could see that as a potential way to make money.

The only issues I have in Act 3/4 with my Double Tornado Barb is randomly being one shot which I don't really understand, it happens out of nowhere on no specific mobs, probably just really unlucky RNG I'm guessing. My HP is pretty low for act 3/4 probably (34K) but I have 1800 LoH/+1000RA, I don't really feel it's such a problem that I want to pick up pieces with Vit over DPS stats since I like clearing really fast (aside from the random instagib here and there).

When i went to build it it says i need to use War Cry and Battle Rage.
However arent they both on the "3"?
How do i get both on my bar?

You made it to inferno without Elective mode?!? What about advanced tooltips?!??!

So, for multiplayer I have been switching to:

Revenge: Best Served Cold
Frenzy: Sidearm
WotB: Insanity
War Cry: Impunity
Battle Rage: Maurader's Rage
Overpower: Killing Spree

The problems I'm having with this build are:
1) Sometimes I just can't do enough damage to Lifesteal my way through elites. (I stopped using my LoH weapons and switched to crit weapons one with 2.8 Lifesteal)
2) Getting stuck up in mobs (Really missing Whirlwind)
3) Getting blocked in place (Realling missing Leap)
