Get ~40k hp, ~9k dps. Use a build that has both berserker rage and earthquake, combo these to take down elites.

This is good advice. Warcry with the +50% resist rune is pretty valuable too, and can be shouted without cool down. I like cleave better than frenzy but thats up to preference.
Link/Desription? Sounds fun

What I'm using, with the hotfix to energy armor i'm debating the usefulness of force rune so i've swapped back to pinpoint. You'll need some crit gear to make this build reliable though.
haha oh wow that guide is so wrong. Magic Weapon: Venom is the second key to the build. without it you don't get even half as many chances to crit. It's crazy good for this.

How long before twinks (overpowered low level characters) get popular in this game?
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Twink to what effect? If you mean low levels with good items... it's already happening.. but who cares?
We are already there. My buddy that just got the game won't let my level 20 DH play with him because he still has higher DPS than his level 30 Monk...
Looks fun, why no frost nova though?
I'm watching Kripp grind some Act II live right now. Pretty cool channel.

I've got all my gear decked out in Square gems right now. Wearing nothing but slotted rares with Magic Find, dex boost, vit boost, attack speed boost, rubies in my weapons, emeralds in my armor and a big 'ole juicy topaz in my helmet.
Still running around Act 2 in Normal. Level 27 Demon Hunter with close to 1200 DPS. I'm sure I'll meet that Jeweler fella someday. I hear he's entertaining.

Signatures? No. They're all pretty good for differing reasons
Fists of Thunder - Best SP Generation, good balance, solid hits.
Deadly Reach - Best Defense or Offense Boost, good frontal control.
Crippling Wave - Best Area attacks, solid debuffs
Way of the Hundred Fists - Best Raw damage
There are minuses as well of course but you'll definitely want to change depending on build. Sanctuary + Deadly Reach might be a fun/interesting combo to keep enemies out and still damage though especially in small hallways though I haven't tried it yet.
From my experience it already has.
It's not like it's difficult to have OP low level characters. So you can one shot an elite mob in Nightmare.... Yawn don't care. Pretty sure I was in a group where I was the highest level by 4 difference but they were out DPSing me. Then I looked at the gear and it made sense.
Still doesn't look like it matters for Inferno... yet.
My LVL40 DH has 1300 DPS at the start of NM Act 2. :O And I am still destroying mobs. I might need to check the DPS again though because I am now at the end of Act 2.
Or even on normal, you can twink level 18-19 chars with top end gems for ridiculous damage.
Enough with that. No it was probably taken down cause the servers are just ass and they need to restart it to be usable.

Well I'm currently running through act 2 normal with 5 nephalem valor stacks to get some decent lowbie gear to make leveling a monk alt a bit easier, and I assume I'm not the only one.
I don't see how this is a problem since there isn't any pking in this game.
I think (not 100% sure, but still 95%) I didnt' get gold for a weapon I sold
Also I am kinda confuse how 'bid' works
How come my 'winning' bid does not replace the current bid?
edit: when i serach the item in AH, the current bid is still 17k
I don't have any trouble getting my crits in so I don't need deep freeze. I mean, I could drop it in in place of venom hydra situationally, but other than that I don't have much room for a spell that doesn't do much damage, my force wave is my major attack for 260% in a large aoe with the 75% bonus from dynamo. I think if I was going to use frost nova I'd do a build more focused around frost damage.
Gearing Barbs for Inferno: Pick up three legendaries and seven million gold.
Interesting will keep this in mind when I'm gearing up for higher difficulties.
Anyone know why youtube videos suddenly echo for me? Every video has two soundtracks playing, one slightly ahead of the other, if I pause the video one keeps playing and there is no echo anymore. I suppose I could just listen to the video without the pictures, but I'd like youtube to work as well...
Also the math/economy on gems in general is fucked up beyond recognition. I feel like a chump gathering all the small pieces of gem in the wild then leveling them up at the jeweler. Then I looked up the prices for gems and they were CHEAPER than making it yourself.
I got that achievement using DH on a Vault plus Prep.

Now that my girl is nerfed, I need to rethink my build a bit. At least we were able to kill Inferno Diablo in time
Thanks Shouta! And Hazard!

It's like ebay. That's your maximum bid, not the current bid value.
I feel Monk's skills are 90% useful. Makes it hard to pick and choose imo.
Currently on normal Act IV I use Crippling wave, the healing light move, the tornado that surrounds you, the arc kick, the seven palms or w/e that you teleport around in a diagram on the ground within to kick a lot of ass, and mantra of evasion. Don't think I'm missing anything.
Works great, but always questioning if there is better.
when does the current bid change?

Is this a serious question? Seriously? Yoshi you are clearly the farthest out of anyone in GAF who has sunk the MOST time into this game.
We should be asking YOU questions---not the other way around.

When someone pushes it up.
If someone bids 30k, then it will go up to 30k+1 or whatever the minimum increment is - you are still winning the auction. If someone bids over 100k, then you'll get all your gold back and the current will be 100k+whatever the other person bid.
Basically, you are saying that 100k is the most you're willing to pay. Anything up to that is fair game for you.
If someone try to pay more than the actual bid.
Like I bid 20k on your item you will see 20k and I will receive a message saying the bid is not enough to win the item.
Well, bear in mind that they can't really effectively buff in a hotfix. Without the actual client UI showing the results of the changes, it's almost totally ineffective to "invisibly" buff things but still effective to nerf them in the same way (because you can't impose the desired result of a buff on the player base, but you can a nerf). That's why they openly said you shouldn't use that BoH rune on Monk until the next proper client patch, since that's the first opportunity for them to effectively balance against the desired result of their nerf.
On a side note, the cost of combining gems up until the tier prior to the last one that drops in Inferno really needs to be evaluated.
What is the chance that Critical Mass reduces your coolodowns? The tooltop just says "a chance", which is lame :-/, just curious.
Interesting, I like to see how much damage it takes with this stuff.
When someone outbids it. Let's say the current bid is 17K and your max is 100K, if someone bids max 50K, it will make your bid and make the current to be 50+K. In turn, if someone bids max 150K, the current bid will be 100+K since it beats you max.
I have a feeling the OP build is that "everyone else" was using.
But yeah, don't try anything new, and just use the most popular build and complain about the nerfs. Seems like a good plan.
oh. Alright, thanks.

My tactics are the same for every fight but insta fucks like this are hard. I cast Ice Storm with the freeze rune around me, then cast diamond skin to prevent the nuke. Cast serpents and kite with ice storm (blizzard?). Remove all channeling spells, they only serve to kill a wizard. DOT is the only way.
Can you elaborate on this a bit? I haven't reached Inferno yet so I don't know how much it takes to combine the higher level gems.
If I'm parsing it correctly, he means the gems that drop prior to Inferno. Currently you can get them from the AH for cheaper than the combines gold cost alone.
Right, or really just the highest tier you can get from drops. I think only up to Flawless Square actually drop (even in Inferno). Combine costs for tiers below that really shouldn't be as expensive as they are with how high the drop rates for them are.
