Diablo – Do I still need original diablo 3 to play reaper of souls

There are a variety of sites that have similar information to what you want. Part of the problem may be that some of this information is already published. For example, the life steal changes by difficulty information comes from http://us.battle.net/d3/en/game/guide/gameplay/game-difficulty#life-steal

There doesn't seem to be anything organized in the direction that you want. I.e. there's nothing that lists all the affixes and then explains everything about them. Perhaps it's still too early in the game's lifetime. The closest that I found was http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Life_Steal -- but much of the information still seems to be scattered. For example, click on magical suffixes and the click through to Leech, Locust, or Lamprey. They tell you that skeletons don't have life to steal, but Life Steal itself doesn't tell you that.

It's been more than a year since you asked this question, and no one has stepped up to make the index that you want. The information may be out there, but people will still have to search for it.

Your Battle Tag is the primary means of identifying yourself on Battle.net in Diablo III. Most people I know use an existing online moniker for their Battle Tag. Your Battle Tag is made unique by adding a hash mark and four digits to the end of your chosen name (i.e. #1234). I don't usually go into the general chat channel, which is where you would see a lot of different names, but I'm sure there's a wide variety of Battle Tags from the extravagant to the mundane, and the silly to the serious.

While your Battle Tag identifies you, there are also character names that identify your characters. For instance, in my friends list I might see MyFriend#1234 (the Battle Tag) was last seen online playing the Demon Hunter, Buffy (the character, and I really wish I had thought of that before) 5 hours ago. That wording isn't exact, but you get the idea. Character names are generally more thematic and extravagant because while visible, they're not used for identifying the player in any fashion.

In general, I usually ignore the character name of my friends as the class and level are better for identifying the character your friends are playing with. For instance, I might tell my brothers I'm playing with my monk, which they know is a lower level character that I've been soloing with, so they know not to join my game.

One more important note: You can only change your Battle Tag once after it's been set. You might also want to look at the Naming Policy.
