Level 60 Barbarian quitting for the mean time

I've got to step away from this game until a major issue is addressed. I can't compete with the ranged classes. Heres what I mean here:

They're able to farm chunks of inferno that I can't no matter what gear or skill combinations I'm using. The items that they have access to are put on the AH and sold for massive profits. Profits that I cannot participate in. I can't speak on behalf of the monk, but on behalf of he barb, inferno is simply impossible.

You can suggest farming hell all you want, but what you don't understand is 2 things:

1) Hell doesn't drop items worthy of use in inferno, (or even remotely close for that matter).
2) The profits from farming hell are insignificant as the items from inferno are 250k+, (I've got 350k gold. There is no way in hell i'm going to spend 250k for a blue letter axe that does 550 dps with no other mods whatsoever).

Diablo 3 Character Hero: Wizard

The wizards. Brilliant practitioners of the arcane arts who deftly wield the energies of fire, ice, lightning, and even time itself in the pursuit of their enigmatic goals. Bedecked in archaic charms, clad in runes, and wrapped in free-flowing robes to allow for the somatic components of their spells, wizards are a veritable thunderstorm of lethal powers who can strike from close or long range. There is no safe way to approach an angry wizard.

Rebel of the Arcane

Rumors from Caldeum detail the events surrounding a certain brash student of the sorcerous arts—a promising, even brilliant, pupil, but one whose unbridled ambitions have led to violence and disorder in the respected schools of that august city. This young woman was trained by some of the most skilled mages in the world, but rather than follow their guidance, she chose to display an uncooperative spirit, constantly pushing past their restrictions in pursuit of knowledge that they claimed she was not prepared for.

Diablo 3 Character Hero: Witch Doctor

The witch doctors. Sage conjurers, enchanters, and mystical warriors who are driven by a charge to maintain spiritual balance and harmony in the violent world of Sanctuary. They command ancient magics rooted in the primal powers of life and death, and are adept at summoning fearsome, shadowy creatures. A witch doctor is armed with simple talismans, fetishes, rough carvings... and endless ravening throngs of vengeful spirits set to bring destruction at their master's command.


Champions of the Unformed Land

The dark and distant lands of the eastern continent are home to countless mysteries and exotic cultures with strange and frightening ways. Beyond the deserts of Aranoch, across the Twin Seas, and deep within the teeming jungles of Toraja lie the vast tribal territories of the Teganze. There the umbaru people live, much as they have for centuries, in a nomadic state of hunting, spiritual musing, and constant savage warfare.

Diablo 3 Character Hero: Monk

The monks. Holy warriors who believe that the madness and chaos of Sanctuary are destined to be brought into order, and that it is their sacred mission to assist their thousand and one gods in doing so. Arrayed in the fiery colors of Ytar, the fire god, monks draw from their years of intense training and meditation to become masters of melee combat. While proficient with many types of weapons‚ staves, blades, maces and spears, monks have no real need for such crude tools. Their discipline has honed both body and mind into living instruments of divine justice.


Fist of the Gods

In the cold northern lands of Ivgorod, hidden amongst the peaks of the Kohl Mountains that run from the Sharval Wilds and up along the shadow of the Dreadlands, are the monasteries of the Veradani monks. Apart from housing a veritable army of fighters, teachers, and acolytes, these austere and remote locations contain the collective wisdom that the order has gathered over long centuries.

Diablo 3 Character Hero: Barbarian

The barbarians. Mighty warriors whose strength and ferocity are a match for any foe, whether slavering beast or foul demon. Tall, broad, and rippling with muscle, the barbarian can bear a heavy weapon too large for a commoner to lift, or wield two full-sized armaments—one in each hand—with wickedly lethal purpose. In the wild and monstrous lands of Sanctuary, there is nothing more frightening than a barbarian with a dry blade.


Vagabond Warriors of Arreat

Since time immemorial, sacred Mount Arreat was known as the resting place for an artifact of untold power, an artifact vital to the very existence of humanity, known as the Worldstone. The guardians of this revered place were the barbarian tribes of the Northern Steppes, led by their enigmatic and legendary king, Bul-Kathos. Rumors abound of this primal barbarian's great size and strength. Some tales say he was nephalem, the self-appointed protector of the Worldstone. Regardless, the barbarians refer to themselves as the "Children of Bul-Kathos," and none can deny the tangible witness they bear to his mighty stature, or the valiant resolve with which they performed their vigil.

Diablo 3 Character Hero: Demon Hunter

The demon hunters. Vengeful harbingers of righteous doom who bring swift judgment and death to the hellish creatures daring enough to trespass on the mortal lands of Sanctuary. Skilled archers, assassins, and trackers, demon hunters are perfectly honed instruments set to scour demons from the world. The fact that every last one of them has a deep and personal motivation to do so only sharpens their deadly purpose.

The Enemy Within

Very little is known about the secret society of demon hunters. While not native to the region, this elusive cadre of warriors has chosen to root its forces amidst the ruins of a forgotten city located in the Dreadlands. Apprentices come from every corner of the land, all bearing the scars of demonic attack—all seething with hatred for the hellspawn that left their twisted mark. The recruiters know that only those with a personal vendetta will be driven enough to complete the harsh training required to stand as a true demon hunter.

Software Incompatibilities in Diablo 3

AMD Catalyst Driver 12.4
Some AMD video card users will experience graphical "artifacting" when playing Diablo III with the AMD Catalyst 12.4 driver suite installed. If you are using 12.4, please update to the recently released 12.4a hotfix as detailed on AMD's website.

Battle.net Update Agent for Diablo 3

Currently in use for Diablo III and the Mists of Pandaria beta is the "Battle.net Update Agent" program or "Agent" for short. This program is designed to make game launching and patching more efficient, especially if you have multiple Blizzard titles running on your computer.

Agent must be allowed to run in order for you to play our titles which utilize it, so please ensure that any security software you have on your computer is not mistakingly blocking the Battle.net Update Agent.

As it currently operates, Agent should shut itself down around ten seconds after closing out all supported Blizzard games. If an Agent process remains running on your computer long after shutting down any supported titles and you need it to close, simply restart your computer. Alternatively, you can manually end the process in Windows Task Manager.

Auction House System in Diablo 3

Acquiring epic new gear for your characters has always been a big part of the Diablo® experience. Because of this, players found numerous ways to trade and otherwise obtain items both within and outside of the game. Many of these methods were inconvenient and either tedious (e.g. advertising for a desired trade in Battle.net® chat channels and waiting for responses) or unsafe (e.g. giving credit card information to third-party trading sites).

With Diablo III, we’re introducing a powerful auction house system that will provide a safe, fun, and easy-to-use way for players to buy and sell the loot they find in the game. Two different versions of the auction house will be available in Diablo III: one based on in-game gold, which players acquire through their adventures, and one based on real-world currency.

Auction House in Diablo 3 Gameplay Problem

Will I be able to use third-party mods to track auction prices?
For a variety of gameplay and security reasons, we will not be supporting bots or mods in Diablo III, and they’ll be expressly prohibited by our Terms of Use.

Can Hardcore-mode characters use the real-money auction house?
No. Hardcore characters will only have the option to buy and sell items together with other Hardcore characters via a separate "Hardcore-only" gold-based auction house; they will not be able to use the real-money auction house. Hardcore mode is designed as an optional experience for players who enjoy the sense of constant peril that comes with the possibility of permanent death for a character. All of a Hardcore character’s items are forever lost upon that character’s death, so to avoid the risk of a player spending real money on items that could then be permanently lost when the character dies, we decided to restrict the use of the realm-money auction house in Hardcore mode.
