The AH is down...
It doesn't* but it does scale based on type of attack. In general, most AOE attacks will return a much smaller percentage of health.

Jesus Bliz what the fuck are you doing.
Spirit regen is a very weak stat in a toe-to-toe fight, but anytime you're forced into kiting it becomes the most essential stat. I always try to keep some passive spirt regen on my gear, and when I can't do that I run with either Circular Breathing or Chant of Resonance.
I just haven't tried him yet, I actually am doing good... I guess I am just over worrying... I can give him a shot now!
I thought it was always just a chance on hit (with a rune that increased the probability of proc)?
When is the AH ever up.. seems like its down whenever i want to use it.

It scales with the skill itself but not the difficulty I believe. The actual multiplier for each skill is different as well, so cleave for example only has a .6 multiplier so you only get 60% of your on hit hp. For the most part most skills have high enough multipliers that +life on hit is worth using.

Well, they did rush the release of this game so soon after the last one. And they did sell it at a reasonable price, with allowances for those with poor internet connections. And I think you may be forgetting what a fun challenge the game is right out of the box without having to waste 15-20 hours per character to get to the fun stuff like some other games.
Allow them this one small thing whydontcha.
Relentless is the one where fury costs nothing and damage is reduced 50%. I don't think anyone uses that in Inferno though (I'd rather have stacked armor or 20% reduction from non-physical). I don't understand why they would change it though. I toyed around with a build where I'd drop to 20% then switch to weapon throw and just spam it non stop and it was not that good lol
Couldn't beat Act II boss solo or with public groups I tried on inferno. Sad panda. Guess I'll stop trying for now since I've hit a wall and gear/hp/dps wise I'm good and nothing I could upgrade without millions. (wizard) I may just hop into act 3 or 4 and farm some slow mobs.
There was a bug that let Revenge always proc with relentless when below 20 percent. It made things a bit more bearable.
Higher than mine. I'm just a few levels behind you, and I have 680 DPS.
I can help you. eek#1673
I see. I think armor stacking passives are still superior. I try to not drop to 20% health in the first place. You really need to stack enough defenses so you can stay almost topped off. Don't use revenge if you're barely damaged. Save it for when you can maximize the heal; time it with ground stomp etc. to maximize how many enemies you hit.

I've been playing this pretty much solidly since launch, but the one thing that is bugging me is the RMAH.
Initially, when first playing the game, I thought "oh wow, cool, an opportunity to earn money" and that was pretty cool. Now, two weeks after launch, I've went from thinking "wow, cool" to "how on earth is this even going to work? It's either going to completely fuck the entire game up by making it the equivalent to IAP on any given iPhone game, whereby you'll have a bunch of lucky people selling high-end gear for real cash, with all the useless dregs being available for in-game gold."
The thing is though, the longer Blizzard take to actually make the RMAH live, the worse the problem will be. They've already delayed it significantly, which means there are more opportunities for the players to acquire the necessary gear to actually finish the game with any given class.
I honestly see a Diablo 3 2.0 situation, where they balance the entire game in such a fashion that actually makes the RMAH relevant (Say, bundles of 1mil gold+ being able to be sold, along with legendaries/set items), because I highly doubt they would welcome the idea of any sort of class action lawsuit if they decided to pull the RMAH altogether.

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?
Yup. I'm slowly but surely gearing up my barbarian. I'm not giving up on my barb; my wizard was merely a setback.

Same here, I don't know if I should wait a bit for them to appear or just contact support now.

Alright, after some retardedly ugly algebra, here is the precise conversion rate for armor / resistance.
K = Amount of armor equivalent to 1 point of resistance
E = Enemy level
R = Resist you're testing against
Example:
Current Armor = A = 6978
Current Fire Resist = R = 296
Enemy Level = E = 60
K = 33.2
So, when comparing 2 items, 33 armor will give me the same protection against fire as 1 fire resist (or all resist)
this obviously isn't something you can go computing in your head so maybe it belongs on a spreadsheet somewhere.
A couple simple observations that you can do just by looking at the formula and without computing anything:
1) As enemy level increases, armor starts getting more cost efficient. Never better, but more cost efficient.
2) As your resists start getting higher and higher, armor also becomes more cost efficient.
Code:
(A+50E)^2
K = ---------------------------
10(R+5E)^2 + 10R - AK = Amount of armor equivalent to 1 point of resistance
E = Enemy level
R = Resist you're testing against
Example:
Current Armor = A = 6978
Current Fire Resist = R = 296
Enemy Level = E = 60
K = 33.2
So, when comparing 2 items, 33 armor will give me the same protection against fire as 1 fire resist (or all resist)

Who has better mobility and defensive capabilities: Barb or Monk?
Trying to decide on second character. Leaning barb because I already have a dex character and I don't like dodge as the primary means of defense.
Monk seems faster though, and just a bit more interesting.
