How does 5 additional teleports equal the mess that was infinite amount of teleports in D2? We're comparing D3 to D2 here, bro. Nothing more, nothing less.

5 more Teleports = 3.5 more seconds = 49 Mana = 3 more Teleports = 2.1 Seconds = 28 Mana = 2 more Teleports (+4 leftover from prior regen) = 1.4 more seconds = 19 Mana = 1 more Teleport ...
...of course, it eventually stops.
Infinite anything only spells trouble. It's also not like your only casting teleport. Most of the time you will be firing off other spells so you will probably only get 2-3 teleports with normal use.

We're discussing MF-runs now though, you're not supposed to stop teleporting around to kill mobs :3
But you can have infinite Teleports in D3. Ofc you can't cast anything else, but its easy doable. Like I said, just with passives and base regen you regen 14 AP/second ... Tele costs 15 and wormhole lasts 1 second. Case closed ;p.
incase there actually are items increasing ap/second

Barbarian is the definitive choice. Did you ever play frenzy barb in D2?
Do you like seeing weapons? Yes, Barb. No, Monk.

I dunno. In the context of Diablo II, teleporting wasn't bad.
People did MF runs for the loot. It wasn't fun, it was a means to an end. Whether that end was getting gear for your current toon, getting items to trade, items for an alt, etc. The most popular bosses for MF runs were Mephisto and Andy (pre-1.10 it was almost exclusively Mephisto). Neither of these offer the best loot tables in the games...Diablo, Baal, The Pit, Pindleskin, etc. all had better loot tables. People ran Meph/Andy because they offered near-instant gratification to offset the monotonous task you were actually performing. You didn't always get great items, but you always got items, and there was always that sense of 'okay, just one more run' because one more run is only 5 minutes.
Most people didn't run Diablo because he wasn't fast (had to clear the whole area/seals), same with Baal (especially since a lot of classes resulted in you sitting there waiting for your merc to kill the waves). People didn't run Pindle/The Pit/etc. because although they had good loot tables, it was all extremely low percentage. You take out Teleport, and Meph/Andy are basically in the same boat as those above. You lose the push/pull effect that the instant gratification caused. People probably get bored of the game a lot faster.
Obviously I realize that D3 isn't D2, and I'm not trying to imply that this is what will happen with it. But teleport definitely served a purpose in D2, and was far from game-breaking bad.

It's okay... just make sure to read my fanfic below:
That should be enough to convince you to play a dual wielding barbarian :3
Really though, where MF Diablo2-style is concerned 1s of sitting around is probably gonna get you mobbed and killed. Was tele available in the beta at some point (I only got my wizard up to 10 on the open weekend)? Does it have a status-bar cast like TP?

It's more useful if you're using Energy Armor, which decreases your Arcane Power by 20. With Astral Presence you get back to the default amount. Although you could spec your gear to increase Arcane Power as well.
Energy Armor - Force Armor will be used in a lot of Inferno Wizard builds.
That was what I was trying to say. FCR doesnt matter in the first place. It only drains your mana faster. You'll need to regen atleast 15 while casting teleport one time. Seriously think thats doable.

Teleport was available very early on in the beta. Status-bar as in cast time? No, it's instant.

Wizspike for everyone!
Just watched a vid of a dual-wield barbarian killing the Skele King in Beta. Holy FUCK did he strike so fast. That was so awesome.

We still adding Battletags? And do I just add myself to the list where I belong?
Yeah 1s is too long. One bad teleport spells death.
1s window is static so it doesn't matter what your cast rate is so long as you gain 15 AP in that time frame. How fast you cast doesn't change this. If it takes you .5s per cast or 1s per cast, yo'll always have a 1s window of regen time. As FCR increases, you need more AP Regen so you never STOP casting but you'll only ever need 15 AP/second minimum.
Basically, let's say you have 15 AP/second regen and can cast 6 Teleports in 1 second. After the last teleport, you have 10 AP + 15 for the 1s you spent casting Teleports so you now have 25 AP. You cast Teleport again and are left with 10 AP. After 1s but before the Wormhole time frame elapses, you have +15 AP and can Teleport again. Since you always have 1 second of regen time, you'll always regen enough.
Your limiting factor is getting the AP for another Teleport in that 1 second window that Wormhole is active. Your FCR just gets you through your initial pool faster but does nothing for that 1s window. That said, you'll probably want 20 AP/second regen just so you can get +15 after .6-.7 seconds rather than cutting it so close by needing your entire 1s window.

Is there a way of checking if all the launch site sigils were added to your battlenet account?

And that shit is with beta gear! Combine inferno gear with the Vanguard rune:
And you'll run fast as the wind and slashing enemies even faster!
Aye, post your infos in this way to be added in the list

scy, interesting! Thanks~
j/k I'll probably get slaughtered by crit builds :3 ♥
I'd also like to know this!
Crit-based builds feel too gimmicky for me and your build also needs more whirlwind!
j/k I'll probably get slaughtered by crit builds :3 ♥
I guess you could check if you received enough mails :/ other than that, I think we'll have to wait the release.

You've got 3 days of grace time after release anyway before the site goes down/sigils become unavailable to earn. So if you missed one you'll be able to see in-game, and then redo it.
Haha, sorry, it's the Sensei. Just the fnatic edition.
Anyone that uses Steam
I just created a public group called DiabloGAF. Go check it out and join. I'll post this every so often to get the word out. Falcon maybe you could even edit the OT with the information.

Yeah... ugh, I remember buying one of those Sensei-versions and I've never been so disappointed in my entire life. My level of play in SC2 decreased with like 400% and my hand never seemed to adapt to its shape, and I kept (accidentally) clicking on those fucking buttons that are meant for left-handed people.
I ended up raging so hard at the mouse that I opened my back door and threw it as far as I could, out of my house. I never saw that mouse again... and I regret nothing.

In regards to Teleport + Wormhole, Jay Wilson was asked about this other day and responded:
"JayWilson: You can teleport as many times as the animation will allow in the time before the cooldown is triggered."
Which sounds to me like it's cast speed limited rather than AP, though I could be reading it wrong.

Can't you unbind the left handed buttons??? What does it default too?

Hey guys, when joining rooms, do we see custom titles like in D2?
Do we just join as we did in Beta(by quests?).

I had to manually disable it for every game that I played. Eventually I found a way of completely disabling it with a third party program, but at that point I was already frustrated as fuck. The fact that I could hear the buttons "clicking" in everytime I accidentally pressed them made me rage so hard.
