Stop dropping gold into crafting. It's really unrewarding. Then you'll have enough for buying upgrades.

Everything I have equipped cost like 10-20k or less each. My monk prob has like 20k health, 4.5k armor, 14k dps, 60 resist.
So my goal with 2 million is to double the hp, get to 500 or more resist, find some good IAS, health and spirit on hit gear.
Depends on the class.
As a Monk, I had to change my perspective from Hell >> Inferno. Went out and bought heavy defenses (Shield, Resist Gear, decent one-hand upgrade). I think I spent around 500k and I finished Act 1 last night.
Wisely spent, I think you can spend anywhere from 500k-Mill. You'll make good supplemental gold getting through the act.

We're in the same boat then and the budget I was hoping for.
So what is act 2 and 3 like for people. Is it costing multi-millions to progress?
I guess Ill get into playing the AH, but I wanted to jump start and get through act 1 by farming gold.

Yeah, but I mean I got crap drops. I pretty much got everything from AH. TBH had no real problems getting pass hell.

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?
Phew! Here I was thinking this game was gonna be flawless for a day :lol
Nothing to see here folks!
Just finished normal last night with my barbarian. Now onto Nightmare mode.....I am not a super elite at this game so I suck. Took me a few tries to beat the last "dude". I had to switch a few things around and learn the fight but eventually got it. My problem is now as much as I love the game I have so may other games i want to play so I don't know if I will play something else to give Diablo a rest or just start getting my face ripped off in Nightmare(again, I suck).
I'm positively surprised about Inferno. I know the true shit hits in act 2, but I've been able to solo my way through every elite for now. Some ridiculous ones too like jailer-arcane-frozen-shield-desecrator and those fucking burrowing leapers as elites are the worst thing ever

The game is full of bugs right now : achievements are not available, quest are not triggering or registering...
hmm not a bad ring
Ahh, brings back memories. Goldy Plate of the Whale, Kings Sword of Haste.

So everything is completely normal? Excellent!

Does IAS% increase how often a DoT spell hits or does it mainly influence actual attacks?
I'm a WD, 51, heading to 60 so I'm curious if it's a stat I should pay attention to.
(Still rocking a slighlty modified version of my AoE DoT spec in Hell with no problems.)

They nerfed the Dank Cellar already, I take it? Not getting nearly as much gold as before.
edit: the cellar also seems to be closed 70% of the times now (before it was like 20%)

That all changed for me once I got to the path outside of Leoric's Manor. Before that I don't recall dying. Literally... there was a rare pack spawned next to a champion pack. My Mystic Ally didn't want to wait for my signal to go... :/
The Manor is a bit more difficult. Some of the tight corridors combined with dodgy elites (Floor AoE Damage and ensnares) make traversing the Manor rather difficult.
It depends on the DoT you're talking about, really. Though, as far as I know, Attack Speed is just on the cooldown ones (Grasp of the Dead, for instance).

After watching those Kripp videos about Barb, I decided to throw out all my gear for more vit and armor... I have tons of resists at 700s, but not enough vit.

To clarify, the only thing it does for Haunt, Locust Swarm, and Acid Cloud is that it speeds up their cast animations. I can't double check if these skills use Weapon Damage or Weapon DPS for their base calculation but it's an easy test if someone wants to do it now (I'm at work, etc.).
Grasp of the Dead, due to the cooldown, does scale with IAS% as (Damage * (1 + IAS%)).

I'd like a trade thread. I'm not sure if anyone is currently planning one though.

Does anyone have any good builds for a Wizard? Im level 55 and duoing on Hell with my buddy who is a monk and while im doing good damage 6.5k DPS I would like to experiment with some different builds to see if I could do more damage. I just got to act two.
String of Ears. I don't think any belt roll can get better unless it's like 6 mods and all max relevant rolls but even then, you can't get 20% melee dmg reduction on any item, period.
Stormshield is good just because the predefined rolls are good and it can get good max block but the towers shield can roll better stats (since all SS affixes are rollable and towers has higher dmg block range) although it'd be incredible if it rolled significantly better than stormshield

Wait until PvP updates for powerful Legendaries, but my favorites were Stormshield, String of Ears type of stuff
I guess all this attention Athene has been getting is causing the prices of DH items to go up. Nothing good anymore for under 1m. Or rather I'm just at the point where that's the kind of gear I need. Whether it be glass cannon or balanced mitigation gear with good stats everything seems exorbitant with their price.
Well, there's an actual SoJ. Most the standout Legendaries will be in the Rings/Amulets department (Puzzle Ring, Zodiac Ring, Stone of Jordan) or some of the Armors with stats that slot doesn't get (Lacuni Prowlers +Movement/Attack Speed on a Bracer, Boj Anglers +Attack Speed on Boots, String of Ears massive -Melee Damage%).
Weapons, I don't think there's any good ones off-hand.

Is there a site where I can look at set armor pieces?
The AH is just terrible for looking up stuff.

The AH isn't bad for finding legendaries that can roll off-part mods. Just search for all armor types then change rarity to legendary and pick your preferred stat.
I think ball lightning on elemental arrow and the dot rune with impale are a lot of fun, great aoe and single target damage. Try to use evasive fire a bit, the backflip can make it feel uncomfortable to use in the beginning, but with the tripple damage rune it feels (and is) really powerfull.
And if you know the item you're looking for, you can Level + Slot restrict a Legendary search for it. Level 39 Legendary Boots with INT/VIT/Attack Speed search gets me just Boj Anglers with INT, VIT, and the working Attack Speed stat.

Are they going to update set bonuses at some point? Or have they decided to leave them as terrible?
E: They may have...Hard to tell. Some look not terrible now. Some still look like shit.

Real World time required to find them?
Well ... they said that they cannot retroactively fix the Legendaries when they do that Legendary and Set update patch so ... it's probably forever useless. Just my thoughts on it, anyway.
I imagine they're worth more now because more people want Attack Speed and not many know that "Increases Attack Speed by X%" only works when it is on a Weapon. Really glad I double checked Inna's Glory before I went and bought a pair :x
Which? Last I checked, many of the 60 Sets are pretty bad (Tal's +3% Damages should probably be 5%, Inna's hilariously awful +0.33 Spirit Regen).
Can't chargeback a PP gift, and I gave him the item first, then he paid. Without any issues.
I'd say I spent about 15 minutes farming specifically this morning, but probably 6 hours overall, much of that AFK.
I figured it was worth the risk, as it's a digital item I don't care about one bit.
Just got this
What do you guys think? It's a Perfect edition so it's worth loads right?
The guy I sold to was offering big money via Paypal for perfect star designs. Just saying.
Sure, plenty, actually. Anything that offers movespeed or +attack speed on slots that don't normally will be good. These pants, for example:
That is, assuming they fix the +attack speed modifier not actually working at the moment.
