I killed butcher tonight. I have less than half your dps and no resistances above 100 geez. 36k hp though.
first tab is 100k, second tab is 200k. You have to pay 10k for each line as well.

Saved Adria earlier with my DH on Inferno. It sure is tricky. It's like every mob is designed to murder me. But it's doable so far. Though I don't think I will be able to do Belial. Stupid Snake people.
But no way I'm ever gonna farm items in that Act. Wouldn't even know where to do that.

10K per 14 slots, 100 then 200K for a new tab.

I solo'd butcher on hell, and holy FUCK that was awesome. Died maybe 5-6 times before I upgraded some of my gear and dropped the fat fuck. Amazing.

So finally catching up on this thread.
Yes, the thread title before was a clever (though probably too subtle) reference to blues being too good and legendaries being crap.
I'm fine with the change though.
Not in the mood now, but I'll update the OP with news/updates probably tomorrow, including a shoutout to the WinAuth - for the few people without access to one of the other authenticator options. If your computer is already compromised, it's probably not going to help much, but it will protect against some other poor security measures.
Unmarked spoilers will be allowed starting Tuesday, though I still ask people to use discretion for awhile even after that.

I don't have any stuttering issues which is odd because i have a shitty 4 year old laptop.OMFG THEY FINALLY RECOGNIZED THE STUTTERING ISSUE. I've been posting in that thread trying to get my unplayable stuttering bullshit fixed and it seems that they're finally going to patch it soon! Woohoo!
runs surprisingly really smooth but hopefully they fix it ASAP, the last thing blizzard needs is more bad press about this game.

Finally in Act 4 Hell with my DH. I have no idea what build to use, because I keep getting shit on. Act 3 boss was ezmode. I got 3 "challenge" achievements without trying. Act 4 is dick slap across the face.

This is a new issue for me. I'd listed 10 items before the Auction House went down for maintenance early in the afternoon, and after it came back none of my items appeared in the search results. And not just for me, before I was moving ~5 items an hour, since the AH returned I haven't received as much as a single bid, which pretty clearly indicates to me no one else can see them either (they're priced to move). On the official forums it seems that this is not an uncommon error, has anyone on here experienced this?
I can't effectively progress through Act 1 Inferno yet and I don't feel like going back and grinding on Hell any more so this kind of puts my game on hold until my auctions time out in a few days.
Yeah for probably about 30-60 seconds.

But its not hard drive issue, its their streaming engine issue...
And it was the for ages in beta and they acknowledged it many times by saying that beta client was outdated and internal build was out of this issue.
Dont really believe that they'll fix it.

Does anyone else's game goes insane whenever you first start playing like 20-60 fps all over the place. So annoying.
Hmm. The way the post is worded is odd, almost hinting at slow hard drives being the problem. But I'm sure I've seen people with solid state drives with stuttering.

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?
Amazing :lol
See the first post of the thread for a workaround that actually gets rid of the stuttering for me: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5149178443?page=1
It's nowhere near a permanent fix but it's nice that we can finally pinpoint the issue like this.
Right here. I'm getting minor stuttering as seen in this video even when I install to a solid state drive.

Oh hell yeah...its about time.
In Diablo 2 it wasn't uncommon to acquire cracked sashes in hell :/ Crap drops, good stuff drops, it's the name of the game.

Been on blizz phone line waiting for over a hour, fuck this I swear!
I haven't been hacked but trying to opt out of the dial in authenticator has given me errors, so I have to call this dreaded service.

So I'm nearing the end of the second Act I believe and I have to say that Act 2, has been kind of boring and has really dragged on for me. I really hope better things lie ahead.
Thats the one.

Can someone help explain how damage is calculated.
I refuse to believe that a 2handed sword is going to be better for me than a wand and orb source.
Here is setup number 1, with a wand and source:
2 handed sword set:
I've gone to a couple different places that claim to breakdown how your damage is calculated or what it should actually be, but i guess I can't understand where the additional "+30-85 damage" stats would come into play, particularly when an orb source is involved.
Is the 2handed sword really the better weapon to use?

The "damage" stat on your character panel is actually your average damage per second. The game does a lot of calculating for you. The 2H sword is clearly superior than the 1h/orb you currently have.
but the "damage" difference is only 370.51 yet when I hover over the 2hand to compare it says "+1265.1 damage"
wtf?
Yeah, my wizard is currently running around with a 2h mace... it looks stupid with that class, but its still better than the staff or wand/orb i had. Good thing that at least my WoW mage isn't running with a 2h axe. :lol
I think its only comparing the 2H'er to your wand without taking into account the +damage on your offhand.
With 995 INT ... your offhand hands another like 110-190 damage.
So, how much damage is it really adding when the orb just says "+11-19" ?

Kripps running through the entire game on inferno with his barb, trying to go for no deaths. http://www.twitch.tv/nl_kripp for anyone interested.
So I'm a level 44 Monk.
Dual wielding weapons that have about 130ish damage a piece.
6K HP
Over 2K armor
Not 100% sure on my actual damage stat though.
I'm on act 3 on nightmare and I readily get shit on. The only way I can survive is Mantra of healing and using that rune to absorb damage. I spam all my spirit pretty much on that.
Seriously though, am I massively under leveled for this part of the game? Under equipped? Do I need to just pour more into VIT?
I need a solid build/tips lol.

Like 110-190? I believe. 995 INT adds 995% damage ... so just multiply the damage numbers times 9.95 ... of course the offhand has some int on it as well that you'd be replacing ... but it gives you an idea.
I just don't see the point. it seems broken. so, the wand and source it "should" be like 186 + 110 = 296 and the 2hand sword is 275. haha I just don't understand how this crap is being calculated when my Int is like 200 more with the wand and orb.

If you went Xbow, your DPS will skyrocket.

Beat normal singleplayer last night, probably going to devote the weekend with some bros to running Nightmare or something.
Can somebody explain what Elective Mode actually does? I don't really understand what the in-game description means.

The difference is probably completely based on the weapon speed difference too. 1.4 attacks per second with the wand vs 1.1 with the sword.
Pretty big diff.

Yeah but I'll lose alot of crit damage.. I want to get a 60% crit dmg + socket one with dex hopefully and above 900 dps+
Your damage is primarily based on the actual weapon's damage. So more INT doesn't mean more damage if the weapon itself doesn't have enough DPS to compensate.
Elective Mode just means you can put anything in any of your 6 slots. There are no category restrictions.

Ah I see, your bows have crit dmg stats?
Well Xbow gets 50% crit dmg to begin with, and the high weapon damage means your impale or any skills will deal a lot more damage.

Wait, so I could have Smoke Screen and Caltrops mapped as a DH?
Slayer-33
Liverpool-2
each one of my 1h have 58% crit dmg + 62% crit dmg + one socket each with crit dmg gems one is 60% and the other is 45% I think
113 dex on one and 112 on the other
500 dps and 476 dps on too...
LOW dmg
Yep, pity you learn about this now.
Yes. It removes all restrictions on all hotkey slots, except being able to put the same skill on two hotkeys (to prevent you from using more than one rune per skill).
I still don't understand the damage disparity when it's only 89 difference with the wand an sword. Additionally I have a source and the APS is 1.4 vs 1.1
