One not too much related to mr. Yang question: Did Devs thought about gems? Did he hear anything about that? At least the Emerald topic.
Much obliged.

Make sure to tell him that some guy on the internet called yovargas doesn\'t like it when they give the DH skills cooldowns since Discipline was pretty much designed to get rid of CDs.

(See: new CD on Evasive Fire\'s backflip. Booo.)
The companion skill has always had it (for some reason, despite also having a discipline cost). Still not very many though.

Did it? That'd be weird since...it's been a while since I used it but what would've been the point of casting it a 2nd time? Doesn't it last forever? Pretty sure you can't have 2 at the same time so....

Companion works like passive now. Cooldown is on companions active skill, that you can trigger.

Unforgiving turns you into wizard. Ancient\'s Fury (Call of the Ancients rune) helps a lot too. You can still swap into Mighty Weapon for bonus per hit fury. It was nerfed, but still can be helpful. Weapon Throw is probably OP.

Greetings, I\'d like to ask about inventory management.

There are people who open the current Auction House menu to quickly scan between characters and their inventories. With the AH gone it seems this particular nice thing is going away too. Is there any plan to add a similar feature where players can scan, compare, or even change items between characters without having to enter a game? Sorry for my bad english and thank you very much.

\"We\'re fine with orange items that are only good because they\'re orange...\"

Haha, I\'m 20 mins in and laughing at how fine Travis is with whatever. \"Like, yeah, sure, whatever it\'s fine, man, everything\'s fine.\" He kinda sounds like a guy who\'s bored of and burnt out on thinking about this game....

Weird, I was responding to a post that vanished. It linked to the Travis version of this twitch talk:

Good questions, but this is going to be a 1 hour playthrough, not a development discussion. I second the question about removing cooldowns from the DH skills. Hell, all skills should only have one cost as far as I'm concerned. It's ludicrous that a skill should cost time and resource, especially for the DH class though. Otherwise why have hatred/discipline at all? Just go resources/CDs like every other class.

Also since you'll be running your Barb, I have no idea what build you're running, but I found my barb to be unplayable on the PTR. I'd probably be an earful if it were me playing with the barb/DH design guy, because the barb is very unsatisfying to play right now. Maybe Avalanche makes things all better in RoS, but I somehow doubt one new skill and it's runes save the class.

It\'s so funny that some are saying that about the Barb cuz man, I only popped into the PTR for an hour or so but during that hour, I was finding my Barb way way way more fun than I had previously. Admittedly it\'s just a Barb I\'m leveling so I wasn\'t playing endgame or anything but still...

Well we've already established you have fun by sucking in the longest, slowest, and most double meaning ridden way possible. :D

Some of the pets can die (still raises the question of why a cd, since it costs to resummon and it's not that cheap, especially since early on all pets were worthless and the only companion rune anyone used then, the bat was invincible).

Obviously. ;)

But seriously, when I jumped to the PTR, I was using Charge with the CD reduction rune and Revenge and with those two my Fury was just constantly full. Specially in large groups, I was able to fill up my Fury in a blink, empty it, and fill it right back up. Again, not during end game, but it was also with no special items whatsoever, just generic stuff from live while leveling, and I don\'t see any reason the same tactic wouldn\'t work well at later difficulties. It feels to me like there\'s a ton of options for generating Fury fast. *shrug*
