Well, you get 20% of their Magic Find and Gold Find. I'd guess around 20% is the limit just due to itemization (+25% on Amulet, Ring, Ring, Shield) unless there's a Legendary Relic and Weapon with those stats on them.

I don't believe there's a max as such, it's just that you only receive 20% of whatever their magic/gold find is. So if they had 200, you'd still receive 40.
My CCC doesn't offer the 'Override application setting' mode for Anti-Aliasing. Hmmm, any reason why this might be?
Is it applied right when you hit 60 on any mode or just on inferno?

Is there any way you can skip out of the rest Normal?
I rolled an alt Demon Hunter and loaded him down with EXP gear. I'm at level 26 in Act 2. Can I get someone to create a Act IV Final Boss game, join him, beat the game and skip to Nightmare?
I love this game, but Normal is a dreadful bore compared to Nightmare. Especially when you're as over-leveled and over-geared as I am right now.

Played through NM and Hell in pub games on my barb. With my DH I'm not bothering since I'm twinking her every 5-10 levels and vaulting through the levels so pubbies would just slow me down.
Get Prep and Vault and +speed after using vault passive. Vault through levels. Profit.

Yes.
I think that's why I can't sell any of the follower items I have; People realize he just dies in Inferno anyway, no matter how much they spend.
60 on any mode.
He could potentially be a beastly HP ball since they get 2.5x the listed stats on items.
Right when you hit 60; any difficulty
This. Force Armor, Diamond Skin, Venom Hydra. Just keep running around and don't get caged. Stupidly easy.
Any mode.
my Templar is so beefed up with awesome gear I don't use, he can tank for me easily in Hell. the only guys who drop him are the Uniques

When I run the US launcher and try to log in, it gives me error 37.
When I run the EU launcher and try to log in, it works and I can play normally.
What gives Blizzard?
PS: I have 2 different launchers because one I downloaded (US) and other one I installed from the retail disk (EU).

What software are you using for voice chat?
No but I've ruined runs by dragging shit off the skill bar.

Wait, the hydra spells are actually useful? I haven't touched them on my level 52 wizard since I got them. They seemed totally useless.
Yet, I see people constantly recommending Venom Hydra. What's the story there?

Now you too can enjoy dying all the time in Inferno!
Bows right around 900 DPS are now 50k. Fifty...thousand...gold.
Every bow I could have flipped for 100k+ (had the AH stayed stable for five minutes) is now worth less than 20k a piece. Most of them aren't even worth that.
If I sell these on the AH and take the 15% hit, I may lose gold on each one. Combined they aren't even worth the auction slots anyway. Anyone want 700-800 DPS bows for 20k a piece?
I want to slap Blizzard. I want the company to congeal into a physical entity, and then I want to slap it.

the poison effect actually does a lot of dmg on the ground. works great.
Well, keep in mind that each Hydra is shooting from 3 heads so focused fire from it is around 3 times the listed damage. Additionally, Venom Hydra creates a little pool that deals damage over time (basically, a mini-Plagued pool) that stacks.
Hydra is basically a Wizard staple.
Each V. Hydra hit leaves a toxic pool that does 18% damage per second. What the tooltip doesn't mention is that the damage stacks. So if you use the Templar or Duplicates to distract and hold up the enemies they'll get slaughtered in seconds. Ditto if there's a group and they're running at you as they'll each walk through multiple stacked pools.
By far the best offensive Wizard spell and essential for kiting in Inferno.

I need to get my DH a new ~900 DPS Bow.
I hope all weapon prices didn't crash
I just got my Wizard a nice Attack Speed ~900 DPS Weapon last night. If I could've gotten it for a fraction of the cost today ...They said that would be in patch 1.0.3
So can anyone give me some tips on where to magic find? I'm currently in Act 1 Inferno but having trouble taking down champion packs. Usually what I do is start the Second Heart quest in Act 3 Hell and clear the floors leading up to the two bosses to stack valor. I have found some decent rares to sell, but no legendary drops at all. I have about 50% MF on top of the Valor stacks.

+Critical damage stuff is still going for decent prices. That's it though, other than 1000+ DPS stuff.
For DH's anyway. I don't follow other class auctions.

Welcome to supply and demand rules of economy.
Frankly, you're better stacking Gold Find unless you can get over 200% Magic Find, and even then it's bleeding difficult to get a good-great drop.

What is the usefulness of crit for monks? Crit chance plus crit damage always looks so good, but point for point I pretty much weigh everything over it. I assume if you are going crit it is either all or nothing.
I never really thought of stacking gold drop % items. What's the market like for these items? high demand?
Gold Find items are in pretty high demand from what I can see. Maybe not as high as Magic Find, but they still seemed to fetch a premium.
nvm. I misunderstood

Well yeah. A 900 DPS bow (blue) with no stats or decent modifiers is going to sell for crap because at the level where people use that gear you want something more than just dps.
When you get something with Life on Hit, +Crit Damage, huge stats and whatever else you can command 200k-300k-400k for an item. I still think many weapons are highly OVERpriced. I bought a 952 DPS, 92% +crit damage, 80dex, 80int x-bow for 400k the other night... I bought it because it was far less than the others at that criteria and was just put up (2d left time). To me, that's overpriced but fit my build really well so I bit :\
I don't know...even just doing 2 hours of Act 1 Inferno last night I had no problem making about 300-400K off of random rares.
Believe me, I know. The thing is, when supply was low and demand was high, the AH was a broken POS that wouldn't properly list items. My items went into two days long invisible vacuums where no one could see them or bid on them.
Now I'm taking a loss on stuff because their infrastructure is garbage ><

High five buddy. We're naked together.
Yes.
Both Arcane and Poison are both incredibly useful in progressing through inferno.
Depending on what act i am in or if i am in smaller corridors i prefer arcane for the slow down.
What Level/Class are you? if you are 50+ hunter/wizard i have quite a few items i can throw your way.
What's the deal with damage types...are some better than others?
Though Magic Find has diminishing returns, and with the Nephalem Valor system, anyone can have relatively inexpensive, but decent Magic Find.
I'm honestly not sure which is better for the end game. I'm trying to figure it out myself.
The economy gap is only going to get wider as the game ages. Everything that isn't the best of the best will be totally worthless as everyone becomes lvl 60 and everything at the top will go for insane amounts of money. It seems everything under lvl 45 is already worthless as the bigger population is lvling past that right now. Gold items in the 40s last week were like maybe 10k and now I can't find anything decent for below 90k at least.
Wonder if/how Blizzard will address this. There isn't a big enough gold sink to take out money as fast as players are gaining gold.

I think it's their effect rather than type (they just happen to be associated with that type). For example arcane has slow, and poison does a % DoT.
Small differences in functionality/base damage. Wizards have Passives that do things for certain elements as well (Arcane Damage slows enemies, for instance).
Personally, I like Lightning + Paralysis. The stun is pretty common with Shock Pulse > Piercing Orb spam at my ~2.8 Attacks Per Second and Lightning Hydra helps. A stunned enemy at the front of the pack stops everything behind it too.
