I assume Seven-Sided Strike is for the AoE Damage + temp invuln? I wondered how that would be over Wave of Light > Explosive Light but wasn't sure I liked the cooldown.

cant wait to see OT3 title.

Look! more hidden footprints.
something something something hotfix.
Hell is an Auction House.
No, I will not stay awhile, thank you.
the bastardization of a franchise.

ehhhh you see where i'm going with this...

Tips for people playing the auction game and trying to buy low on great items. When you're eyeballing the list, look at the 2D time left items first. They're most likely going to be the stuff that's being under priced.
 
Well this is basically the hat that I missed for 70k in the AH last night.

They're trying to sell it for 1.9 million. I'm still salty about that. I missed it by literally seconds. Bitter. QQQQQQQ[/QUOTE]When something shows up near the top of the list and you see that it has '2d' left. Dont even take the time to read the whole description.

apparently.

I'm so QQ right now. I'm not spending a million just to get 70 int. I'm not! I'd rather switch around my gems than do that. Judging by the fact that he's had no bids in 1.5 days, nobody else is that dumb either.
 
I saw this way too late. Now I won't be able to play for a couple of hours, perhaps days.

Fuck yeah, I need this.

Best in slot off-hand.
 
what am I even supposed to do with this
Hold on to it until RMAH is open and then SELL SELL SELL for $10USD. After Blizzard and paypal take 30% you've got yourself a cool big mac and fries.

The physical and mental feelings you get before, during and after playing Diablo III emulate the McDonalds experience almost EXACTLY.

Get better internet NetZero man.
 
lol hardcore

It was a lvl 8 legendary... got it in the first hour I played. I figured "hey I bet this will give me legendary mats to craft with!" .. but it only being less than a day into the game I didn't realize blizzard's crafting is really 1 dimensional.


They shouldn't even have mats for crafting.. just gold.. the mats are like an afterthough.

Crafting mats means you need to salvage things and remove items from the hahahahaha, who am I kidding.

Question: Does stacking MF on your follower works?

Yes but you only get 20% of their MF%/GF%. That is, if you get them to 50% then you'll only get +10% from them.
 
Polearm

I just bought that for 100K. Looks like a steal considering people are asking 1M for worse items. I wonder if I should sell or keep for my WD when he hits 60.

First legendary as well, but wtf is this crap? I mean would a DH even consider wearing this?

DHs can/do use shields. Not sure how that stacks up against rare shields though.

Keep it. I had the exact happen to me. What you do just keep an eye out on the AH. If you find another steal like that grab it... then sell one of them.
 
When something shows up near the top of the list and you see that it has '2d' left. Dont even take the time to read the whole description.

Pretty much. I think everyone has figured out this strategy though, so it's getting more difficult to snag stuff.

Personally, I'm liking the items that have way too high buyouts, and extremely low minimum bids. One of two things will happen; Either someone will get into a bidding war with you, or they won't and you'll get the item cheap. Set a maximum buyout that makes the item flippable, and it'll do the work for you.

Don't get me wrong, it's not as good as finding a super high value item for cheap, but it's more reliable.
 
Now that the game has been out, you have less than 900 posts to impress me with an OT3 title. PM me your suggestions.

If I choose something that someone else came up with (over the one or two I had in store already) you will get a prize of some sort (eventually.) Probably avatar flair.

Since the mod title change to this thread was more lambastic, I'm looking for something that edges away from that, although I'm still very open to humorous titles, as well as serious ones.

It makes me sad that crafting came out so bland and virtually useless. I was really looking forward to it. Would people really have been bothered by, say, half a dozen different materials per difficulty or something?
 
I've come to the conclusion that I don't think is a very fun game, but it IS very addicting, and almost makes up for it.

I'm kind of in the same boat, and I can't put into words why I feel that way. I'm still mulling it over.

I loved to play D2. I don't feel the same way about D3 at all, even though I've been playing it constantly. It's really weird.
 
What a true piece of shit this game is.

And Blizzard is treating us like dog-shit.

Remember the old Sony-gif where Sony takes a huge dump over its fans? That's Blizzard right on me right now.

Oh my PM you suggestions? Do we have to stick to 1 suggestion or can I just shoot you a sleu of clever things?
 
I can't beat the boss of Act 1 in Inferno and right now I can't joint public games. Very funny Blizz.

I'm in the same place. I think I could do it if I stacked crit damage, but I'm not willing to spend the gold for new kit that takes advantage of a hole Blizzard has yet to patch.

Haha this exact thing happened to me today. Bought a level 47 crossbow that had 178 dps with a slot for 163 gold :) I could vendor it when I'm done with it and still make a profit :D
 
That HP is a little low, but not terribly so. 32-33K is a very comfortable number early on in the Act I Inferno. The bigger deal in Act I inferno is resistances and straight armor mitigation coupled with reasonable ( > 7K early on, >8.5K for Butcher) DPS.



I would look into a shield and move out of that passive and into the dex->armor passive or start stacking a single resistance to fuel One with Everything. Ideally, you can farm the crypts in the cemetary and onto the Skeleton King (a good early run) with the following numbers:

200-200 all resists
4500 armor
32-34k HP
7k DPS

Some mobs will give you trouble but it's not so bad.

Once you get to the following stats you can basically faceroll through the later Halls of Agony and get five stacks of NV and kill the Warden and Butcher, which is a very profitable run that can be done quickly with minimal risk:

320 all resists
5000 armor (unbuffed)
35-37k HP
9k DPS

I would highly recommend looking into stacking up the armor and mitigation skills (deadly reach+rune, dex->armor, evade mantra+armor) as you work on progressing to the next stage of difficultly. It will give you a huge amount of oopsie room to work with as you get the feel for the character.



Inferno is just sooo much better for gold drops and items that not farming it seems super-poor, even if you struggle a bit.

A lot of people aren't happy that their Monk has to go into a tank mode for a while to progress in Inferno, but it is really only temporary. Once you start raking in cash you can get enough better gear to go back to dual wield or more aggressive skill choices and ill things faster until the point where you want to go into Act 2, which is another huge jump just as Hell to Inferno Act I was.

Thanks to everyone who replied - I followed your advice, and now I am at 9.7kdps (sadface) with 35kHP and 220 resist on everything with 4k armor and a shield. My survivability went through the roof, even if things die a bit slower.

You're right about farming, Inferno is more lucrative, hell was easier - but with my increased survivability, inferno up to the skel king wasn't too difficult, couple of deaths here or there when the rare mob buffs got creative (plague, molten, arcane and walls I almost gave up on).

In about an hour and a bit got just around 150K gold and a half a dozen sellable rares. (plenty that wouldn't sell for a dime).

While I don't mind playing like this, I miss my other build :( it had spirit regen as a focus.
 
WD:

Well I'm not far in nightmare (act 2) and I'm a bit undergeared as I did most of my AH shopping at lvl 30 and now at lvl 40, I need an upgrade. Sitting at 1K dps and 6500 hps.

I love spiders with leaping rune. Last 4 seconds and deals 75% damage each attack between the 4 spiders per cast and they leap around from target to target. It's basically a Zerg rush if you have a fast weapon and attack speed items.

I keep the siphon ability With heal and phase walk with mana for survival. The siphon increases my dps by around 50% if I hit 4-5 mobs.

I don't use the ridiculous mana cost attacks. I keep my gargantuan out with the buff that activates around elites. I resummon him every time the summon cools down. That way he can rebuff every 60 seconds instead of 120 since it's a new pet every 60.

Instead of a high damage single attack/DOT, I alternate raining frogs in between my spider throws. In both cases, I can hold down space bar (what I have as my "stand still" button) and spam both at the edge of the screen. Spiders will leap to enemies 25 yards past the edge of your screen. The low mana cost of raining frogs means I can dish out some good damage all around or really good damage by spamming one spot.

I also use damage runed snare which deals 55ish% damage.

Been working well for Act 2 so far. The spiders are the biggest bang for the buck mana-wise unless fire frogs magically connect but they're really random. On a good cast, 4 spiders can do nearly 225% DPS per cast over 4 seconds as they leap and attack around 3 times before they parish. 19% damage times 4 times 3. Imagine a Zerg of spiders dealing 450% DPS and that's what you have if you're allowed to stand and spam infinitely.
 
Inferno.

I'm right next to the last boss in act 2.

EU.

Come help me. Now.

If you haven't done the boss on inferno, don't PM me.

PM me if you have.
