But not really.
I can only imagine how many HC death occur at the start of Act III,once you step outside for the first part of the quest...especially if you start a game from there with the initial spike lag the first time you attack or use a spell...my god,died 3 times there just on Normal mode lol...
Well the succubus attack is so slow it shouldn´t even hit you most of a time.
But with inferno gear armor and resist this hits gets down to 4-5k at most.
CLick on the litlte gear on the bottom left of the screen. On mouse-over it should display "public chat options".
Also the health. Max is 430,000 in Hell, 3.1 million in Inferno, and with 4 players you multiply that number by 475%.
That was the only example available, but I imagine that kind of crazy increase applies across the board.
click the gear icon and choose Leave Channel
That should be in the next patch, due out sometime this June. With Commodities disabled on the AH everyone is stockpiling.

I'm playing this for the first time and i'm feeling like a wrecking machine at the moment. Kinda dreading when that honeymoon is over..
The numbers can be a little out there: Mortar hits for 120k+ in Act 3 before mitigation. Frozen is 90k in Act 4. etc. etc. If the damage is avoidable, it's most likely going to hit like a truck in inferno.

So who is going to create a gaf trading thread i would totally come here first before i go anywhere else.
It's a rather slow moving projectile so it's pretty hard to get hit by it. Well, until the shit hits the fan and you have slow moving bullet hell and teleporting phasebeasts everywhere.
The reduced upgrade mats is only up to flawless square, which drops like candy in inferno. It would be cheaper for you to buy them off the AH than to craft them yourself.
So, I started playing on Inferno last night with my DH and it wasn't going to hot, so I decided to splurge on the AH for some resistance.
I'm still debating on the weapon combination I want to go with- dual crossbows, crossbow+shield, crossbow+quiver. They each have their advantages, though I've heard that a shield is pretty necessary in later acts of Inferno?
Right now I've got 19% increased movement speed, 30% IAS (not including dual wield or offhand), and 200+% Gold Find. I'd been going through the entire game with Gold Find, but now that I'm level 60 in Inferno, should I be going for Magic Find instead? I did just buy all new gear, but now I'm second guessing myself.

I was pretty forgiving up to this point... we'll see how/if they address my ticket now. While I wish I had been using an authenticator from day one, this was just such a shitty experience, basically watching my account wrestled out of my hands.
I had an authenticator attached to my account when it happened, however it's likely that it didn't have an impact/was not a factor in the hack.
1) I attached it to my account about an hour before the hack occurred, while my game was open and logged in
2) I had not selected "authenticate every time" so when I was first logged out and logged back in (kicking off the hacker) it didn't ask for a code
3) I was logged out three times; upon the third I reauthenticated, switched "every time" on, and changed my password a second time and logged back in, and this time I was able to stay logged in (of course, my character had been stripped bare by this point, so who knows, but I like to at least pretend I'm secure now)
Seems most likely I guess, though I was able to play interrupted for like 45 minutes before the madness started. I wonder if they were watching me waiting for my inventory to fill up or something... *shudder*
Yeah I don't know what the fuck that is supposed to be about.

Shield is more important for melee classes as far as I can see. DH explode when the wind shifts directions sadly.

Are commodities disabled on NA server only ? Because i bought 1 or 2 few days ago
Yea, it gets a bit mad and sometimes you can't avoid them. Also, that Brady guide is going to be obsolete once the Inferno rework is implemented. Wonder if they'll update the digital version for all the buyers?
Gems are disabled on my EU account and I believe the same applies in NA.
I'm a 53 Demon Hunter, should I continue buying gear in the AH or should I save my gold for level 60 gear? My damage is around 6800 but when I put on the sharpshooter rune it climbs up to 11k but as its constantly fluctuating I assume that's not an accurate DPS. How much does the sharpshooter rune really effect your damage?
Also when I hit 60 what attributes should I try to look for on my gear to play Inferno? So far I've been looking for gear with high dex and vitality but I feel like I should have been looking for crit damage instead of vitality.

I see no need for it. This thread will move to the Community sub-forum soon enough and traffic will die down. I'd just make this the defacto trading thread.
On a related note, I can't wait to get home and trade! The Auction House is pretty much my favorite part of the game at the moment. I love sniping nice deals and selling off my rare loot. Made over 1 mil gold with just random hell loot last night. With so many people using the AH, I l just love how fast loot sells.
Sharpshooter adds 3% chance to crit every second after your last crit (plus one second to reset). So if you stand around a while, you will get 100% crit, and your DPS will believe that you will do so on every shot. This is why your DPS is constantly changing shortly after a battle.
If you log in from a different location you have to authenticate, regardless of how long it has been since you last authenticated.

damn, how many runs till people got the mushrooms? I'm pushin 6 now...
Sharpshooter is mostly useful for that opening burst guaranteed crit; it lets you not worry about Crit Chance% itemization for the time being and rely on that. It's really nice in Inferno when you can kite for a few seconds to get some extra Crit.
As for what it's doing to your damage, the display is basically just:
[Weapon DPS] * [Crit Modifier] * [Stat Modifier] * [Other Modifiers]
With Crit Modifier merely being:
[1 + CritChance% * CritDamage%]
So it's adding 3% * CritDamage% to your Damage, essentially. It's grossly misleading, though I need to check what DH skills use DPS (e.g., listed Damage) instead of Weapon Damage (e.g., the actual damage range on the weapon) when factoring their damage. I'm going to guess not many of their skills work this way just because that'd be ridiculous but ... well, who knows.
I have two sitting in my stash. None of the other items though.

so i have full reign over my computer at work
I installed D3 on my work imac, just to fuck around on the auction house when the work slows down... what am i doing
I have it installed as well, couldn't resist. Don't get much in the way of quiet time though.
I did ~4 Skeleton King runs on Inferno where I just added the first floor to the run for it. I did make sure to check the area, though, on my characters just running the area for the story so it's probably closer to 10+.
The Gem (Act 3) took like 20 runs but I had a friend just clearing the cave with me for EXP (dat +19% EXP/kill and +200-ish EXP/kill) so it wasn't that bad.
My beta character got the shroom on the first run and so did my HC character. :/
I should probably set up remote desktop so I can ah while at home. Or not...my productivity would go down the drain. I'm still stoked I got this for 155K yesterday:
Unfortunately, I'm using it at the moment, so I can't really profit much off it. Fortunately, I use Haunt in my build, and am mana regen dependent, so it's probably worth keeping for a while.
Anyways, I'm thinking of trading my IGG for FG at the moment, and just trade back in a few weeks when the value of gold has dropped.
So, I should ditch the shield then? I might get more survivability dual wielding +Discipline Crossbows for an extra SS.
I got the mushroom on my first playthrough of the Starter Edition. The Liquid Rainbow took me a long time, though.

Just wait till they release a mobile app
maintaining this beast of an AH must be hell on their DBAs

So this wording of attack speeds breaking the IAS is a real thing? I just bought 2 rings yesterday (cheap blues) that may have the wrong wording. Has Blizzard made any comments regarding fixing the issue?
What's Naphalem Valor? I see it thrown around a lot, but IDK what it is.
Surprisingly, not yet. I guess I just accept not changing my skills ever once I leave town.
When you kill any Rare or Champion pack at Level 60, you get the Nephalem Valor buff. It stacks to 5 times and each one is +15% Magic Find, +15% Gold Find. It also makes bosses drop more loot (e.g., I can kill Azmodan with a 5 stack and get ~10 items).
A buff that you gain after defeating an elite pack at level 60. It increases magic find by alot.

Did anyone play any Public games on their first run through? I did and kind of skipped through everything. Is it worth carefully crawling through on your first time?
don't get caught in the bone cage, drop venom hydra, kite away while avoiding projectile attacks, and collect loot.
Lost a 5 stack while being bored and clicking a skill (instead of pressing the keybind) and accidentally half-way dragging the skill of the bar... Need a skillbar lock...
Buff you get at 60. Stacks 5 times. Each stack is worth 15 magic and gold find. It lasts 30 min. You get it by killing a yellow or blue monster pack. Killing purples does not refresh it. Killing yellows/blues does. It makes boss monsters drop like they did in normal (guaranteed 2-4 yellow and lots of blues) in addition oto the 75 magic/gold find.
Depends on the person. For me...definitely not. If you like playing through the game quickly, then there's no reason to carefully explore everthing (and in my opinion, not much point in doing so anyways).

Paradoxically, I believe you can lock your skill bar by turning OFF elective mode once you have turned it on and put the skills where you want.
Thanks. I'll definately try that.
