I'm guessing you're not from the US then, Halcion (triazolam) is still widely available here. Though, I'm not sure why a dentist would be prescribing it, it's used for insomnia.

At one time it was marketed by pharmaceutical company sales reps as a good short-term tranquilizer, perfect for people who become anxious before dentist appointments. It's now marketed for insomnia for the same reason, I guess - you want something that will get you to sleep but not keep you from getting up.

The old remedy is sometimes the best remedy though. At one time doctors wrote for one or two ounces of sherry wine at bedtime for hospital patients to help them sleep.

I've been meaning to ask this since Saturday and keep forgetting. At some point, did someone on here whose Blizz ID starts with "Tha" send me a friend request that I never responded to? If so, please PM me and let me know so I can approve it. I'm not sure how long it has been sitting there and I can't figure out who it belongs to.

Are you keeping the games open? or private? I found leveling my WD that people were willing and wanting to do Adventure mode in groups to level up (or ask in /1 for a PL).

You get a 10% boost to experience, gold find, and (I think) magic find for each person playing with you. This is on top of four people together generally being able to kill things faster and at a higher difficulty than four people playing solo.

Approved the friend request. If I've suddenly shown up on your friend list, then we've run down the mystery.

What makes DH so strong? Also is there a build where they can just stand around and do nothing, but win?
I ask because I was trying to run some T6 Rifts last night, and there were 2 DHs. They just stood there, never did I see an animation. They moved out of crap, and would try to rez, but never once did I see them pewpew.

I fear my WD is doomed. It has now been weeks since the last time anything remotely helpful in a gear up has dropped on him. I can solo up to T3 alone in bounties and rifts. I can do up to lv20 G.Rift.
Might be time to go back to Monk, or try a different class :3

Some of this info might be off, because I haven't played in a while and am just going off of memory. You can look up more specific info, though.

RoRG= Ring of Royal Grandeur. It's a ring that can be gotten from the bounty reward that you get for clearing the available Adventure Mode bounties in Act I. In Adventure Mode, you pick an act and it gives you 5 bounties. Some are "kill X boss," some are "enter X dungeon, clear all the enemies," etc. Clear all 5 in one act, and you get a usable chest that drops a bunch of items.

The Ring of Royal Grandeur itself lowers the requirements for set bonuses by one (but not below 2), so you can use it to obtain bonuses from more than one set. So, if you have bonuses at 2 and 3 pieces worn, the ring lets you get both those bonuses at 2 pieces. It doesn't let you wear one piece and get the two-piece bonus, though. It's a highly desired ring. The stats are pretty crappy relative to other legendary rings, but if you have the gear to get a bunch of bonuses, it can be worth it.

T1-T6 are difficulty levels, Torment 1- Torment 6. Higher levels give better drop rates (and better items, IIRC).

GR# is Greater Rift (Level #). Greater Rifts are a game mode where you enter an area and kill mobs until a boss spawns. No items drop until after you kill the boss. You can then choose to go to the next level rift, or upgrade legendary gems.

DH is Demon Hunter. WD is Witch Doctor. There are probably some acronyms being used for ability names. Were there any acronyms in particular that you didn't get?

Ah, I see. I'm trying to do something similar with WD, but I can't get the drops ><

Okay, now that I've woken up, here are a couple further questions.
1)Any general guidelines on what level(and/or paragon level?) one should consider entering each difficulty setting? I'm at roughly level 35, currently in normal and have yet to even consider using a health potion. In fact, the only time I see my health globe even move is if I stand in something stupid. And bosses are currently dying in a matter of ten seconds or so. I also remember it being a bit more difficult on my playthrough back when it first came out.

2)Goblin portals: Only available on Adventure Mode or can they pop from treasure goblins on campaign mode?

Makes sense. And no hardcore for me. It sounds like an exercise in frustration.

Edit: I decided to check out some vids after posting the initial questions. Let me see if I'm understanding one of them right, or if it even makes sense as a metric: Is killing white mobs in 1-2 hits while not really struggling with health a decent indicator for it to be a good point to up difficulty?

Have you decided which class you want to level first?

If white mobs are killing you then lower the difficulty. If you are killing white mobs in 1-2 hits then raise the difficulty. If yellow mobs sometimes kill you then you can probably still raise the difficulty and try to play more carefully (which = slower, which = slower exp gain) or play with your gear. For instance, with a Monk you can try and go with attack speed bonus and more life-on-hit and then go toe-to-toe and regen life with each hit. It will take some adjusting on your part to find the right difficulty level.

As for blue mobs - I hate them all. I'd rather have two yellows than a group of blues (most times). The blues come in groups and can be annoying as hell. And they tag-team a lot so you have to concentrate to stay on the one with the least life in order to pick them off. Although the two yellows thing probably applies more when you get better gear and are further along.

It's like taking a shower - you turn the hot water on and adjust down to a reasonable shower temperature. Do the same with the game. Turn up the difficulty until it's too hot (you become frustrated from dying too often) and then adjust down. Otherwise you will likely lose a good deal of time playing on lower difficulty levels as you raise it to the point that's comfortable.
