Note to self: wait at least a year after a blizzard game comes out to purchase it.
yea, i posted a really shitty rare for 40k and someone bought it. gonna post more crappy rares for more and see if they bite.
It's pretty crazy how fast the AH's prices crash down. Did people discover some new farming method?

Welp, that's how the game plays without the AH. Everyone says, "If you don't like it, don't use it." So I'm trying that out.

Meh, these days you could apply that to just about every major release. It depends on your priorities. Do you want to be hooked into the online community and multiplayer as it is built up around the game? Buy around launch. Do you just care about price, content, stability and balance? Wait a year.
More people hitting 60.
Trust me, the prices other people ask for this kind of item are beyond stupid (and much, much, much more than what this item is actually worth), which is why I went with a similar price. I don't want to stand out among greedy people.

I can't be bothered trying to figure out what each piece should sell for. They make it took cumbersome to attempt to look up similar items before listing each one. So I just throw it on at the auto starting price with no buyout and just wait to see what happens. 10 item limit and fixed 2 day auction time incredibly annoying though.
Sometimes stuff won't sell even for a couple hundred gold (I assume the starting price is the vendor price) and sometimes a piece of crap I didn't expect would sell at all sells for 50k.
Also, I pretty much don't like playing solo hell any more with DH. It's all well and good until you run into a blue pack and then I spend ages running in circles waiting for cooldowns or just die repeatedly and it always seems all for pretty much nothing as the drops usually aren't very good and you don't get any kind of decent exp out of it either.

Those middling mid to upper 50s rares are one man's trash but another man's treasure. They can make all the difference in the world to someone struggling through Hell or even Act I Inferno.
I got a seemingly crappy 2H staff with some INT and 780 DPS last night. I say seemingly because it had a sizeable level reduction modifier on it and sold for a ton of cash from someone looking to legitimately plow their way through Hell.

From today's notes:
Wait, what?
Wait, what?
Guys anyone here has any experience with ATI Tray Tools? I set a profile for automatic overclocking on my HD 6750M when playing Diablo 3, whenever I stoped gaming my clocks would return to default settings, but I was getting worse framerates than with the default clocks.
After much tinkering I disabled the profile, overclocked my card manually and closed ATI Tray Tools program and now I can run the game with everything on high (except shadows on medium just because I didn't see a big difference) between 40 and 30 FPS.
I gained about 15 to 20 frames when I closed ATI Tray Tools after overcloking.
Right now my clock speeds are 775Mhz from 600Mhz default, and memory is 900Mhz from 800Mhz default.
By the way, I did not overvolt the card, I running those clock speeds on the default volt setting. I get around the high 70, low 80 Celsius when gaming so I think those temperatures are OK. They're not that different when I'm running some heavy applications with the default clock speeds.
I just wanted to run the game with ATI Tray Tools on and try some tweaks, but I get unplayable frames when the program is on.
Also, when the game is up again?

It tells you that you can only have 50 items in your completed items list (items that haven't yet been sent to your stash). If you're at 50 and you try to purchase an item, in theory there should be no place to put that item.
If you have 50 items in the "send to stash" area.
They don't want you using that as a extra storage.
I'm doing OK to be honest. I'm not overpowered, far from it, but I'm progressing - that post sounded more negative than I had intended.
Same here. It's definitely a challenge (I'm under 3k DPS and about 12k health in Act I Hell) but it's not insurmountable as of right now.
You can only have 50 items in your AH "stash". You first need to send an item from within the AH to your normal stash, then you can buy another one.

Average length Tuesday maintenance for Blizzard (WoW).
I take it you've never experienced a WoW patch day gone wrong.
And yes, the character limit on the OP was reached. I can't easily alter it at this point without doing a decent bit of extra compression in certain spots, and probably removing some non-essentials.
totally agree, i've seen similar stats for stuff that range from 20k-1 million. it's nuts.
*hi5* sometimes it's fun to see what awesome gear i can get at a bargain.
I do understand why it was needed, but they need to remove it and replace it. In fact all 1 second duration defensive skills need to die. Im sorry that is ridiculous. 1 second duration for a defensive skill is just fail all around. If its so broken that you are nerfing it to 1 second, then its time to scrap it and come up with something sensible.
I know that feel. I rolled probably the highest vita/int Enchantress Amulet in existence, and gaging its worth has been a lesson in frustration. I've had people here offer 300k-ish, but it really should go for more judging by what else is out there.
Weapons are so much easier to figure out. The price scales pretty linearly.
yes, people are exploiting into act 4 of inferno and farming aspects. you can be wearing full +MF gear and kill them, and they drop act 4 inferno blues/rares.

Solidarity fist bump.
I've gotten my last three weapon upgrades from vendors. And probably most of my equipment in fact. The drops are not sustaining me at all.
Oh well. I'm in A3. I doubt I'll be able to beat it anytime soon.
I'm currently trying to sell the following weapon at a price I most definitely won't get, after which I'm willing to sell it for a lot less to someone around here. Anyone interested ?
One-Handed
153-306 Holy Damage
46 Strength
158 Dexterity
175 Vitality
15% IAS
61% More damage by critical hits
EU server by the way.
how much do you want? my barbarian is so underpowered that would beat my best weapon by 200dps.
im on EU Servers nick: chico#2217
Where's the closest way point to those
Only way to play, imo. About to hit Inferno Act II on my barbarian and I haven't touched the AH yet.
This is exactly what I've been doing as well.
Didn't they nerf those?
Doing a bit of research, it looks like the good one to farm is after

kill him for you after you die, if you wait long enough

Bloodborne is shit
I haven't been looking up anything either. For the amount of rares you come across it just takes too much time.
That said I'll probably adopt your method for awhile. I've been starting the bidding at double the NPC price with a buyout at 10X and when shit sells I always wonder what I could have gotten.

Ah yes, the aimless mumbling and grumbling all day with the guild on Vent.
they might have in the patch this morning. either way, the exploit was in getting into act 4, not in being able to kill the aspects.
You can farm all You want, but You just wont find decent gear for Act 2 and Act 3.
I've done some math today and to have viable build for act 3 for Monk, You need
700 resistance, 6000 armor, 14000 dps, >2 attacks per second, 600 hp per hit and at least 45k hp and 3 skills that decrease damage/buff You.
So to give You example how ridiculous it is, here is summary of items.
You have 14 piece of equipment, 2 weapons/shield slots, 3 jewelery slots, 9 armor slots.
To achieve 700 resistance You need around 60 average resistance per item.
To achieve life and dps, You need around 2400 dex + vit stat + 12-15% life bonus, so You need average 171 int+dex stat on every item.
For 6000 armor, You need average 600 armor per piece, or around 450 if You'll use jewelery that will add armor.
You need 45% attack speed bonus on 4 items, so 11% on each.
So, average item needs to have:
+110 dex/vit
+60 vit/dex
+35 res
+25 all res
+150 armor
+11% attack speed (gloves, rings, amulet) / 5-7% life + socket on helmet (or some on pants and belt) / + 200 life per hit (weapons, rings, amulet)
Its doable, but good luck farming that, especially on act 1 of inferno, where i havent found anything alike yet.
And this setup isnt really that amazing, You can still die easily and it gives [with two active debuff skills] 95% damage reduction and that means that normal mob in act 3 will hit You for 3600. Thats damage for a goblin!
You can take 12 hits from a goblin before You die with 95% dmg reduction. Imho thats just stupid.

Since it's being discussed, I thought I'd link this excellent post by Dreams-Visions from yesterday. I found the post so helpful I bookmarked it!

Where did you find most of your upgrades to make yourself inferno viable? Did you just happen to find stuff while getting to 60, or did you do some area grinding with NV buff?
alright... ill wait hoping you´ll be in good mood.
Im in act 3 hell, so there is no way that something that good will drop!
i can wait.
I type in stats and only bought things that had more than what I already had, but I definitely have gotten to inferno off of getting 5-10-20k items every so often.
Only have gotten a few upgrades actually drop.
Honestly, I'd rather they have just made it a group-wide buff that eats the first CC effect (within, say, 5 seconds). That's what I used it for 99% of the time with my Wizard friend when duoing anyway.

i'm sure this has been asked before but can you guys tell me if wearing a specific armor or weapon for your class makes any difference in their attributes? example is for my demon hunter, wearing a cloak vs a chest armor? because chest armor seems a lot better stat wise, why would i wear a cloak instead? another example is a wizard hat vs a regular armor helm?

It's all about the stats
The Class Unique stuff can roll Class Unique affixes. Though, I actually don't think those Class unique affixes are actually unique to those unique items. I have a generic helm with -Disintegrate cost and a Shield with +2s Blizzard duration.

Ya, the whole interface is really ripe for UI mods.
Does the "protection" stat take into account resists? It doesn't seem like it does.
It would be nice if I could rollover a piece of loot and instead of seeing all red minuses, it would be nice to know if the resists provided would actually end up being a boon to my survivability. I feel there is opaqueness there, but the green/red system gives an illusion of transparency.
I made this complaint back when the stash space and inventory space was revealed, and got heckled a bit. But Im going to reinterate it now, because Im feeling even more upset by it these days.
We do not have enough stash space. Buy all three tabs and its still not enough. Blizzard says the average account has like 3 characters right? I personally do myself. I have a high Vit/Resist set for my main, an extremely high Glass Cannon/DPS set, and a Magic Find set. I would love to also have a Gold Find set, and equivalent sets for my Alts, but that would be nigh impossible with the extremely limited freaking ROOM we have in this completely loot driven game.
I just dont understand how anyone could disagree. This game is all about loot, and in Hardcore runs, you cannot switch your skills to match a champ pack, but you can switch your gear set to something more fitting after a quick town portal. I want a shared stash, then a per character stash of the same size, but make it cost a lot to buy or something. A few million or so and a lot of crafting materials. But give us the space for crying out loud.
Reflect is ridiculous for me, I notice classes like Wizards nearly shrugging it off. Monks and some Barbs too, but an elite pack with reflect absolutely wrecks me. I put on my Vit+Resist set and its still pretty rough, tho its a bit better than my dps set.
Reflect when Im in my dps set kills me so fast. All of the attack speed% increases I have, I just unload and die like Im standing in desecration or something. Either that or I dps a little then stand back and do nothing but drop traps so everyone else can kite while I wait on a health globe. I absolutely hate it.

I'm gonna be pretty bummed if they extend maintenance. Seems like when the servers aren't up close to the end of the window, that often means they are gonna push it back.
DHs, is this worth something??
Can you translate the stats for us please sir.
