Chest exploits? Do tell.
I don't know em either Hazaro teased em but for obvious reasons he won't tell us =(.
Also anyone up for Azmodan glitch runs? I'm getting lazy to level especially with it being a pain in the ass as it is being a monk.

I think they've all been patched unless there's already a new one.
I'd do chest runs... if I was in Act II ;_;
So, I have an authenticator on my Android phone and I tried installing it on my ipod touch, but for some reason the touch code is always different (and never works). I've tried reinstalling, sycncing and nothing I have tried will get the authenticator to work.. in fact, I'm not sure what account it is even getting the numbers from.
Anyone ever dealt with this? How can I fix it so I can use my ipod to authenticate in addition to my phone?

Don't think it's been directly confirmed. But blizzard have on several occassion stated that they do not wish for legendary and set items to be the best in the game.
The problem is that on most legendaries, the important stats are the non random ones. For instance, I'm pretty sure all the unique and set weapons have a +dmg affix on them. And that affix always have a lower numerical limit that magic and rares do. So even if you were to roll a perfect legendary, you'd still not get a legendary that could compete with the good magic or rare item.
To be fair though, magic items are only really potent items in the weapon category, but it's still silly to have magic weapons that have dps that beat the best legendary on the AH by hundreds.
There is plenty to do. New books, dungeons, events, open up on every playthrough so set goals for yourself outside of pushing through the (mostly) linear story.
I find it useful especially if you have abunch of critical damage plus gear. Some people have 300% critical damage stat and with sharpshooter you can do up to 300K damage.

150k dps?

You can only have one authenticator attached to your account at a time. You should be able to detach one and assign the other in your battle.net account.

So I just did some Act I Inferno solo farming on my monk to test out a new build. It worked out very well, I killed about 15 packs of rares/elites w/o a death (including a very awkward 2-pull), including all of the nastiness and very few creampuffs. I think everything had Arcane Enchanted and either Jailer or Frozen. I took down the Warden and the Butcher with ease.
My spec in testing:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bigXTh!ZUX!ZZaZca
My core stats without modifiers are 39k health, 9.5k DPS, 5K armor, 370 all resists.
I would drop the Sweeping Wind but I really need the AE damage. I should try the blind over Seven Sided Strike but I'm lazy and have liked SSS as a way to push additional damage on elite packs while serving as a longer duration emergency cooldown as well as a trash pack cleaner.
I don't believe the Monk is really build to run with a higher life total than that (and I wouldn't mind shedding some Vitality for more armor or resists), since there is no real regen abilities like the Barbarian has. The class is clearly designed, on paper, to avoid or mitigate damage and recoup via heals and gear-equipped lifelink, and trade off lower sheet DPS for higher DPS uptime.
I think Transcendence doesn't heal for nearly enough to be worth it on Inferno, especially now that Quickening abuse is gone (Transcendence was very good in that build because you consumed so much Spirit). The heal values are just too marginal-it's just not where you want to be when there's so much damage going around. I went for a build that stacked armor and it worked out -the extra damage reduction from the armor was effective, especially in bad situations.
I'll keep experimenting with this in Act 2 as soon as I can clear out some of my backlogged stuff of the AH when it comes back up. I just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else has tried a Deadly Reach/Dodge Mantra mitigation build. I'll add in that my shield is clearly suboptimal for the task and I am in general unhappy with my gearset as it stands for Act 2 progression. I need a 25% shield (w/ the stats I want, going to run at least 300k-500k), a new weapon (1.5-2 million ) to get up to 12k DPS, and another 140 or so resists to get to base 500. Long way to go!
Question for the melee types-what stat is best at getting life back from damage in Inferno? I am using a 2.8% of damage dealt lifesteal but I wasn't sure if a flat damage from hit might get me more life back overall. The lifesteal I do have is noticeable but I could really use 2x-3x more .

Ah, that makes sense. Terribly inconvenient for me, but it's understandable. Bah.
I'm reading some of the comments by Blizzard on Inferno. I get what they were trying to do with that mode, I really do. But they really should have known that like 99% of people really aren't going to see it that way.
This seems crazy to me. Did they really not think that people would try and progress linearly into Inferno? I get that they wanted it to be something that people tackled slowly and chipped away a bit at a time while they slowly gathered their end game equipment. After a long while when they finally got all their great equipment, they could conquer it, but that would take a while. But that's ok, because I think it was supposed to be like getting level 99 in D2, in a way, but even more. But I could have told you people wouldn't see it that way.

On crit, for as long as your hatred lasts. Great for bosses, I assume.
Here's what I'm working with right now: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#WjRXhg!XZU!ZbYYaa
Thinking about switching out Air Ally for Earth and switching the spirit gen rune for Breath of Heaven to the damage buff though.
I try to complete the extra dungeons but they usually don't have much of a reward or fun bosses (Nightmare atm, not sure if it gets better later) Then again, my 10% MF might be one of the reasons i'm getting terrible drop rates.
I'll probably sleep now and wake up with the itch to play again tommorow. Hopefully the Auction House is up.

What abilities should I be using with Wizard? No matter what I put together I can't find anything that's both enjoyable and effective. I was feeling frost nova -> meteor but the damage on it isn't that great and I don't have the increased damage after Frost Nova, nor the Ice Meteor to get the damage bonus on chilled targets passive to work
Nothing feels good
Here are my stats at the start of Act II Nightmare. Ignore the equipped abilities I was playing around with them earlier.

It's a numbers/stats based game. Nothing you do that stacks the odds in your favour is wrong, and no sane person is going to see it any other way. Doing less would be like foregoing an easy deduction on your taxes because you think it's unsportsmanlike.
I saw that too, and it seems a bit ridiculous. When all level 60 items, virtually all of the Set items, and a very substantial number of Legendaries are in Inferno, of course people are going to see Inferno as just another playthrough. It's probably got more drop diversity than Hell.
Edit: The game is about getting loot. If you want an extra, optional difficulty level then you need to make sure that it doesn't drop loot that completely outclasses what's available in the regular game. But Inferno loot is /way/ better than Hell loot.
Inferno would have made sense if drops were just like Act 4 Hell, maybe with an innate +50% MF for playing Inferno.

Can't wait for Super Inferno mode. Quick, what's the word for Hell in French?!

My Witch Doctor has 10K HP and 1700DPS in Act 3 NM.
My bad, I checked. I have 1900 DPS and 24K HP on my WD.
Nope, had 100%+ since Nightmare or so and the same. Wait for the level 60 stacking MF buff, it's godly.

Hrm, how does that ring of protection thing work out? I think I may have overspecced for DPS, since I get worked by mobs for offence.
Act 1 Nightmare. Man, need to get Vit up, but really, it feels like I'm hitting mobs with a nerf gun.
Level 36
Are you sensitive to light or something?

I thought I read there was a way to map a skill to q rather than the potion. Can't seem to figure it out. Did I hear wrong? Maybe they were just talking about re-mapping the actual button for potions to something else?
Options -> Keybinds.

Nightmare seems really level dependent, like you hit a wall every chapter and just leveling up tends to solve it a little. Also, even the crap gear is probably better than your current, and small upgrades seem to make a difference.
Wizard seems really flexible in general, but it seems like every build needs to focus singularly on something. For a while I had a sort of melee loadout:
diamond skin + whatever
frost nova + cooldown reduction
force or ice armor + something...I don't think I like any of the runes really
hydra + arcane
ice beam + cost reduction (almost free!)
blades + arcane siphon
galvanizing ward (for the healing, super handy)
evocation
blur
This usually let me survive pretty well rotating the cool offs between diamond skin and frost soI could tank decently and then kite + hydra to whittle things down.
Lately, I've been doing full glass cannon and that seems to work pretty well too:
force armor (just to live through a hit
)magic weapon + 15% damage bonus rune
frost nova + cooldown reduction
teleport + wormhole (really the only way to get away)
hydra + frost
ice beam + free
Galvanizing ward (this doesn't help as much anymore, NM mid act 3 ish health is too high)
glass cannon
the 20% damage bonus to cold damaged enemies passive
So cold focused and it boosts damage pretty well. Ice beam + frost hydra is pretty good and mana light, I like blizzard too but it seems really mana intensive. I don't teleport a lot, so it might be ok to trade that out for the familiar that adds more damage?
No AH on anything, I just struggle through rough patches and replace gear. I think channeling favors the 2 handed staffs (slower attack speed for higher damage), and damage rating or sockets >>> all else (socket with a red for +damage). Galvanizing ward is super useful when you first unlock, but the heal is a fixed amount or something so a couple levels later and it just doesn't recover enough health to be useful. I'll probably trade it out for more % based damage increase
.I dunno how that turned out like that

I'll hit the auction house when it's back up.
Is anyone else experiencing massive burnout on this like I am? Cleared Normal on Saturday, fiddled around with other classes to about level 10 each, and for now, I'm toast. I have to take a break on this one for a few days or something.
It's weird; I was mentally addicted to this like crazy all of last week. Haven't experienced such a sudden drop-off of love for something before. Except pizza, after a huge binge. =/

Happening with me as well. The potion hotkey does not seem to work, no matter what I assign it to. Have to open inventory and right click on potion to use it. It still works, but very annoying while fighting mobs.
My love got taken by Dragon's Dogma instead. I do want to get back to leveling a new character sometime soon, though.
So my friend just got the game and i am power leveling him through normal and i am wondering what is the minimum level requirement to enter nightmare? he wants me to power level him to my witch doctors level which is currently 30 and NM mode will help progress this faster.
Is it 20? 25?

Starting nightmare as a 33 monk.
I had like 60% magic find gear most of the time playing and my gear still sucks?

Finally completed Act 1 on Hell. Running instead of fighting helped a lot.
Pretty good actually. It's like an ongoing cycle between that, serenity and occasionally refreshing the mantra for that extra 15% dodge for 3 secs. Also been stacking resistance like crazy and vit. Currently at 46k with Earth Ally.
