Athene is a direct noob with godly gear.
He got all the gear and gold from his fans. Diablo 3 is 90% gear 10% skill. Athene got 99% gear 1% skill, and that 1% skill is his NT.
Kripp on the other hand, he work for his gear, he got a lot of knowledge and he is still way further than Athene, on a harder class.
Shaman since Vanilla. All the way !
Because gear in Diablo gets almost infinitely powerful if it rolls well enough. Ilvl 63s can have up to 6 affixes, each of which can get a max stat roll. It's possible to get so much gear that you could afk on a champion pack and never die. I doubt anyone's got that much gear yet, but the potential is there.
The difference between a run of the mill ilvl 63 and a max stat one is like the difference between T1 and T13 gear in wow.
To everyone who thinks this can be done now. Nether tenticles was fixed so it only hits a target once per orb.. instead of multiple times (which caused DH's to be very OP).
This could actually be material from after the nerfs. [Nvm @ 6/13 in the corner ] Looking at the attack speed and the damage numbers.. it isn't insanely fast like i've seen before. And he seems to be critting nearly everything for about 250k each.

are you really so .... that you think this is the explanation?
Athene is terrible and the only reason why he is where he is. Is because he got some stupid fanboys doing ALL the work for him.
Just look at his pathetic attempt at world first inferno. Everything was based on exploiting broken abilities. As soon as blizzard fixed this he had no other choice than giving up. Because he is not even remotely close to win something legit.
Lol all this people hating athene I assume have only watched a youtube video and judged. Not ever seen a stream where he spent hours joining random groups in act 4 inferno to kill random bosses for fun.
Help raise a mill for charity.
He got given gear and gold? Yes he said he would help people for gold or for donations.
You bring up Kripp? Whoever compared them? Some kids here really need to learn some respect for people who do things rather then fanboy 1 person and hate another. It's hardly like Kripp didn't get given a lot of gear in SC to learn the tacts and then in HC to kill it. Just learn to respect good gamers instead of moaning about your favourite streamer.
Yeah and was only carried by Hydra and other amazing players, like usual. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIRc7hbQgbE (3:35 lol)
I have the utmost respect for Athene and I think he's a cool dude, but an amazing gamer? Not really.

Athene is maybe good at WoW, but we're talking Diablo 3, and he sucks in D3. Diablo 3 =/= WoW.
And with Kripparrian. With "worked for his gear", meaning he did a lot of farm and worked his way up. Athene just got his gear from others. Heck I say his stream, looted a rare and directly asked the viewers if the items was good or not, didn't have a single clue about the stats.
Also if you see him fighting mobs he can't 1-2 shot, he takes a lot of hits, are slow to move from stuff and generally dies and take a lot of dmg he shouldn't as a DH..
He is only where he is because of his fans, if they weren't there, he wouldn't be in act3 yet.
Probably also why he haven't tried going for World 1. Hardcore Inferno clear, as he claimed he would get.

Want some popcorns ?
This IS Athene !
This thread is full of jelly noobs. DA GAMEZ!
There seems to be a Athene and TB bash circle jerk on these forums for whatever reason.
