I actually found it in about an hour of banging my head against Act II.
And the money has already been spent on some new Chest Armor. Maybe I over paid, but I got this for 800k:
I don't know, maybe I should have forgone sockets for more All Resit. I am having some buyers remorse. 25 Resist isn't that much, though the old piece didn't have any. I could have easily traded 2 slots for anther 30 All Resist looking at some more piece. Though the raw Int Values never seemed to go up very much.
I like the vit and int of course...but yea, with armor that low, it may have been a bit high. :-(
I would have pegged chest armor like that at around 200k. Low armor, low resist, no special perks or bonuses beyond the barebones that make it good for your class.
Hmm, sorry to do this, but price check?
500k?
go higher (if US)
edit: saw you put it up for 1.5mil. Might not sell for that high since it doesn't have a dex/int/str, but you never know!

Beat the Skeleton King on inferno. It was pretty hard. He did about 90% of my life in a single hit. I will take that as a sign that my gear is about topped out. I'm about 50,000 away from the secret level staff upgrade, so I will try and farm some there.
Also "Developer Hell" made me laugh. Unfortunately they were not hording the good items.

what should a 2H bow + quiver user be doing if not sharpshooter?

ah. don't know how I missed that. I don't think it would be too much less. gloves with attack speed AND crit damage are always hot. physical resistance is very nice to have.
If I were you, I'd go to the AH, and search for all the Rare quality gloves with that level of attack speed and crit damage. the results should be few. then aim a little less than gloves you see at a similar price to reflect the fact that the gloves lack Vit and/or class-specific property
maybe a few thousand.
Just got this off of the inferno butcher. What can I try to sell this for?

Athene got hacked what the fuck?

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?
It will...
He accidentally typed his password in the account-field and he got hacked, yeah. But he got his stuff back (and made a drama-scene over it, trolling everyone. It was genius :3)

Wow so one of those little flies can one shot me? lol
Hacked? No. He pasted his password on his stream by accident and didn't have an authenticator on his account.
Unless it was an elaborate troll.
Edit: Beaten.

Hacked isn't the correct term. He posted his password during a live stream lol.

You can't, unless it's some sort of third party program. I wouldn't recommend using that.

oh F**************K no. Let me log in finally and my character doesnt show up? Just an empty space???
I've had difficulty selling Two-Handers with under 800 DPS within the last couple of days.

Can't find any info about what happened. He faked the whole thing or what?
You probably switched regions.
And you probably have a client mismatch with the original region you were trying to connect to, which should be fixed for a few days when the EU client is patched in the next 2 hours.

more like 2k-5k.
the biggest problem with it is that it's level 60. when you hit level 60, you start seeing all the high dps weapons and don't want to buy stuff below 900dps anymore.
once in Act II, I had to deal with a group of 3 elite sand sharks with arcane, damage reflect, mortars and extra health. it was just stupid.
I was surprised that they can basically 1-shot you if they bite you, and frustrated because they're off screen so much where you can't attack them, so setting up your offense is awkward at best.
I eventually got killed by the timer of death after trying to freeze and attack for what felt like 10 minutes. Because all 3 wouldn't surface at the same time, it was almost impossible to stand and deal damage.
Fortunately, it only happened once.
it was faked. but it was funny as shit.
just about anything can in the desert, so yes.
but wait until you get to the invisibile guys with the tridents.
Depends on your build. If you're running group and don't need as much survival I'd probably run Cull the Weak. If you're doing solo farming I'd definitely run Tactical Advantage.

I think I had five packs of elites in a row with arcane. That shit sucks. And then when the whole floor is plague. The whole floor!

Yup. Don't bother selling 2H weapons unless they have ridiculous affixes or over 1000dps.
Just got this off of the inferno butcher. What can I try to sell this for?
1907 to the vender.
I dont think it is. Some of it is, teleporting invulnerable snakes that dont drop invulnerability until all 4 of them on are on top of you so they can collectively deal juuuuuuust enough damage through all your armor and resists to kill you in one blow?
Yeah thats bullshit.
Soul lickers or whatever? Sure thats bullshit too. But a lot of Inferno is do-able. Its just that you will have to farm gear and money for many many weeks in order to afford the set of gear needed to make it through it.
I think that part is intended. Little by little Act 2 is getting easier and easier. I used to just fall over dead, now I can take a few hits, step back and burst most stuff down. The elite packs are still as insane as ever for the most part, but Im managing them better too. In a months time I imagine Act 3 will be my new Act 2 in terms of difficulty.

I mean, I sell 700-800dps weaps regularly for 2k-5k. It's just a question of whether or not it's worth taking the slot up vs taking the Hoof/Tear/whatever + essence.
I agree. I now farm Act II.
But the reason it's bullshit is because it forces you to the AH in order to be able to do said farming at this point. You're not going to find the kind of damage, armor, resists and attack speed upgrades you need from farming Act I. We have GAFers here who've made *hundreds* of Butcher runs and have next to nothing to show for their time and effort. That's why it's bullshit.
And yea, about 40% of the elite packs feel OP no matter what gear you have. lol. Invul/Reflect + Moartars + Jailer + reflect = fuck you.
Yoshichan
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?
Pretty much, yeah. Imo, everything worth under 10k isn't worth the space.
Not worth the space.
The European servers are a patch behind (1.0.2.9749) whilst the american servers are (1.0.2.9858), so you can't connect to it.
The European server will be updated soon but this error will come back in the next diablo 3 update.
I honestly dont understand why he said 2h users shouldn't use sharpshooter. It's great for bows too.

I wish I was rich, trust me
If I was rich, then I'd conquer the fucking world!Which is a sort of challenge, yes. Not really equivalent to learning how to become better at a game, I would say.
Except he's wrong. If anything, D3 should be easier to manage due to the 4 player limit and not having to maintain a persistent world for tens of thousands of players. So they don't have to worry about anything else other than finding a server with available resources. The only central parts are the login system and the auction house and that's also where they have been having the majority of their issues. Which actually is quite surprising, considering they are dealing with read intensive loads for the most parts. Trying to load balance/scale inserts where you can't shard effectively is damn hard, no question about that. But for Blizzard to fail so miserably when only dealing with reads is quite pathethic.
I've had just as frustrating ones with my monk, Elite versions of the sand golems in Kulle's area with Teleport, Shielding and Jailer, the main elite had Arcane as well. It was just frustrating because even though I have around 65% reduction from both armor and resistances the minions were hitting me for around 25k damage. In the end to kill them I had to split them up and kill them one at a time, kiting in a circle until my invulnerable CD and Blind were up then attack and continue kiting. Overall it was frustrating and felt like a waste of time.
If you have a crossbow, I'd run SS instead of Archery if your crit chance is low. The archery crossbow bonus is pretty useless with 5% crit.
There's a lot of bullshit in this game.
Act 4:
Fallen Angels (they can rush you from off screen, don't notice till too late).
Oppressors (same thing)
Terror Demon (completely invisible until they're on you, not even that "sorta" invisible that the snakes do)
Those "no way to anticipate" attacks really piss me off. Reminds me of bullshit oldschool NES games would pull.

In regards to the bolded, how did anyone beat Inferno and get that gear in the first place?
To be honest there's no real difficulty jumps like the one between A1 and A2 Inferno.
I've had a weird experience with Inferno. One of the first things that happened after I unlocked Inferno was someone pulling me into an A2 game so I could help them with the last bit of A2 and Belial (which we did in 3 or 4 pulls, thankfully). Not long after that someone invited me into what turned out to be an A4 game. So I have had the ability to jump around to wherever pretty much since I started.
A3 really doesn't feel like a big deal compared to A2. As a DH in fact I think I'd rather farm in A3 because there's less shit that has invulnerability frames and there are much better kiting lanes. What I've poked around with in A4 is harder than that, but a lot of it is really shitty layout for kiting purposes (which I'm sure is intentional) and some monsters that are hard to deal with like A2. But there's nothing like that absurd gulf between A1 and A2 anywhere else in the game, and right now I still feel safer in A3 than A2.
Because it isn't particularly great for bows. Really it's one of those passives that looks a hell of a lot better than the story the numbers actually tell. The only way to get good mileage out of the passive is to have very high critical damage bonus AND a build where your attacks come out very slowly or irregularly. You'll get more mileage out of just having a snare and running Cull the Weak than you will Sharpshooter in a lot of bow setups.
30k and 3 Flawless Square's to craft Perfect Squares? Whaaatttt theeee fuckkkkk? 90k (plus mats) for twelve extra dex in my pants.
TWELVE.
Does Blizzard realize what else I could buy with 90k? Certainly something that would add more to DPS than that. Good lord, why did I spend the artisan upgrade gold?

You're just now realizing how expensive this shit is? To get Radiant Square level it's 3 Perfect Squares and 50k. And to get Star it's 3 Radiant Squares and 80k.
You see how this is exploding? There's still 4 more levels after that, and none of them are findable, have to make them.
The higher level gems are not cost effective right now, but they will be in the long term when more money is in circulation.
Millions of people playing will eventually find something useful and flog it on the AH.
