Fresh Meat N' Greet - Atanatar#1983(1)Category: WizardJune-25-2015 4:55 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
The world of Sanctuary is a BIG place, defended by hundreds of thousands of heroes each and every day. To help you get to know some of these fellow nephalem a little better, we've created the Fresh Meat N' Greet.

The Fresh Meet N' Greet is a recurring series of interviews featuring you, our community. A few times each month, we'll sit down and chat with six different community members, one for each class, and then post our Q&As right here in these forums.

Up this week for Wizards: Atanatar#1983

Read on below to find out more about your fellow ally in battle!

[GENERAL INFO]

Grimiku: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Atanatar#1983: I'm Atanatar, I've been playing/watching Blizzard games since the age of, oh, 6 or so, watching my Uncle play Starcraft. Ever since then, I've been addicted to Blizzard games.


Grimiku: Got any cool hobbies or talents?

Atanatar#1983: The only thing i'd consider a hobby would be tinkering with computers. Repaired them for a number of years, and enjoy the satisfaction I get from doing so.


Grimiku: What is your history as a gamer, and with the Diablo franchise?

Atanatar#1983: First game I really played would be Doom in the mid 90's, around the age of 5. Stuck with FPS's until I got my hands on the Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft Battle chests at the age of 12-13.


Grimiku: What are some of your favorite games?

Atanatar#1983: Currently playing through Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2. Also love all Paradox Interactive games; I have a Jewish Khazaria run in Crusader Kings 2.


Grimiku: Are you playing any other classes right now?

Atanatar#1983: Not really. I occasionally play around on my Witch Doctor and Crusader, but they have never been geared. Too much in love with the Wizard Class.


Grimiku: Are you in a clan? If yes, tell us about it!

Atanatar#1983: I'm in The Vizjerei, but if you want a better run down of that clan, you can look back at some of the other Meet N' Greet's. Personally, I'd like to take the time to give a shout out to Fire. I don't think they get enough love, personally.


Grimiku: What's your most embarrassing moment while playing?

Atanatar#1983: Oh jesus. Selling a damn near perfect double resist Inna's helm in the AH days for far less than what it should have sold for. Ditto for a strength Mempo.


Grimiku: Okay, what about your most AWESOME moment while playing?

Atanatar#1983: Anytime I get to play with my clan, and chat in mumble. It's essentially just a bad !@# podcast.

[I'M JUST WARMING UP]

Grimiku: What drew you to the Wizard?

Atanatar#1983: I missed my Orb Sorc from Diablo 2, and seeing the preview trailers for the Wizard class featuring slow time sold me then and there.
Also, I played Ret Paladin in World of Warcraft from release to cata. Something about being the red headed step child class appeals to me.


Grimiku: In displaying your battle prowess, do you prefer to burn, electrocute, or freeze your foes? Or do you prefer a mixture of destructive elemental energies?

Atanatar#1983: Love cold skills, always have. So pleased to have Delsere's give me that magic back.


Grimiku: What's your favorite skill (or skill rune), and why?

Atanatar#1983: Frozen Orb, easily. The nostalgia factor, and it's a visually pleasing skill with some skill involved to use.


Grimiku: What build are you running currently?

Atanatar#1983: Frozen Orb on my Delsere's Wizard, and some Tal's variant on my other.


Grimiku: Is there a particular item you’re after, and how would it change the way you play if you found it?

Atanatar#1983: I actually haven't found any Nilfur's yet. The possibilities that would open up is obscene.


Grimiku: If there was one thing you could change about the Wizard, what would it be?

Atanatar#1983: Proc Coefficients.


Grimiku: If you could build a set and/or Legendary item around a skill, what skill would it be and how would you support it?

Atanatar#1983: Shock Pulse, hands down. Either increasing the range and/or speed coefficient would make it a more viable skill to use.


Grimiku: Pick a Wizard quote!

Atanatar#1983: "Do you know who I am?"


Grimiku: Name one piece of advice that you think every Wizard should know.

Atanatar#1983: Always assume you're wrong on the first pass, and double check your claims.

[WHO'S NEXT?]

Grimiku: Which of your fellow Wizards should we also interview?

Atanatar#1983: Hub#1983


Grimiku: Pick a question to ask in the next interview:

Atanatar#1983: "What's your favored Whiskey?"


Grimiku: Pensfan080#1647 asks: "What is one aspect of the game you'd like to replace/remove/fix.

Atanatar#1983: For me it's trials and trial frags. I do not like speeding through T6 in 45 seconds just to get a trial key so I can enter a greater rift."
Honestly, the game is on a fairly good path at the moment.
That said, Proc Coefficients.
