511 resist all,
7000 armor with aura
44k hp
10k dps
800 ish life on hit.

Cannot kill a single champion pack on act 2 inferno, I have no idea how a monk is supposed to do this solo.

I have worse stats than you and was able to get past Magda today. I was scared to even try Act 2 for a while so I farmed Butcher. Act 2 was really, really, really hard when I first tried it. For some reason, I did really well today. Stacked up to 5 for at least 2 hours. Decent drops too.

Try using Earth Ally & Deadly Reach with Keen Eye.

Beat Diablo on nightmare solo and started my Hell run. Already progressed past the fields of misery. My Witch Doctor is level 52 now, with 20k health and 2050dps unbuffed. Aside from the fact that elite mobs have more modifiers it really hasn't felt much more difficult than nightmare.

That's pretty much the main reason for the difficulty jump, especially Act 2 onwards

 

[Neki]

I got 3 legendarys during an act 1 skelly king run, and they were all shitty.

 

[Torraz]

Been doing act 2 hell belial runs at 58 (monk) to level up. One run seems to give at least 5 blue items (2 from the purple), and three - four from belial. Its still 21k + 77k xp for the quests alone. I'm at around 32kish HP (unbuffed) and 3k atk (unbuffed). I think I overdid the HP but im not finding any better weapons.


Just had the worst run ever, the belial kill took around 10 minutes and everyone, except for me, died around 5-15 times (no joke... (i ressed them...)) a piece. Then a racially infused flame war started with one of the dudes saying that I should suck my french male resproductive organ and being especially racist toward some player with a name made up of chinese symbols.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Is it even possible to find/loot gear thats above my char. level?
All the stuff i find is around 3-5 levels below my current level.

Hehe I've yet to try public fails.

 

[Big Chungus]

I suck at selling stuff on the auction house, how much should I sell this ring for?

 

[Torraz]

Yeah, none of my real life friends play at the moment so I have been public-ing it up ...

How do I get on the GAF battle tag list?

I give you one peanut.

 

[Jubbly]

Quite a lot. INT + IAS + MF.

 

[Neki]

I'd price it close to 1.0m to 1.5m.

 

[aznpxdd]

Halfway through Hell Act I with my Monk, doing okay so far.

Pretty average stats:
19k health
5k dps
100 all resistance

Sucks that there isn't a channel function...Gaffers can just meet there and party up. Much easier.

Starting in Act II and III in Hell is where I felt the difficulty in the game kicked in really well. Champion packs got really obnoxious and also a lot more (sadly!) natural with their placement and melding with normal mobs.

We got a lot of brutal combos during that period, but that's when it started to get really fun for me. It's so satisfying when you claw by a rough pack.

 

[Audioboxer]

As others have said Blizzard should really let you cancel at least some of your Auctions, 1~3 to make room for new items if like me you've out priced your ten slots

Btw the ring market is crazy, missed out on some deals by seconds. Hit search, see the ring a few seconds later and an error pops up saying ring bought already.

My highest resist is 140 I have 5k armor, 25k hp, 10k damage and 400 life on hit. (I'm trying to avoid the AH as much as possible)

I can kill some Act II packs the same way every other monk has to. Cast your ally, turn on serenity and try to do as much damage as possible....and then run around like an idiot until it comes back. It's retarded. We will be farming Act I for a while.

5000 DPS at level 45 doesn't feel right

 

[BigDug13]

5000 DPS at level 45 doesn't feel right

How are you achieving this?

 

[Pop On Arrival]

Haha, I must be showing early fucking signs of parkinsons diseases cause I keep accidentally dragging my skills out of their slots and fucking up my Nephalem valor perk! I had 5x stacked going into Diablo and I accidentally fucked up.

Blizz should totally add an option for you to lock your skills so this dumb shit doesn't happen. Goddammit. It has happened to me three times now, to be honest. I always just alt+F4 out when it does. Shits too depressing.

What happens if you turn off Elective Mode after changing your skills?

 

[Danielsan]

Using the auction house?
My character is level 53 and I have 2700 dps, and only because I just bought my first auction house item (a cheap dagger).

 

[Riggs]

How are you achieving this?

 

[half a moon]

The AH is your best bet. Pick a resistance type, filter the search by it, set a maximum buyout, and try to find some good deals.

How much resistance should I shoot for in hell?

 

[perryfarrell]

I'd price it close to 1.0m to 1.5m.

That seems like WAY too much to me. I'd price it 80k but since it's legendary, perhaps 100k.

You can get rings with more int and more attack speed for MUCH less. And people mostly separate their MF gear for their regular gear, so when it comes to MF you want as much as possible and you don't care about other stats.

A level 55 crossbow with reduced level requirement

I was sitting on 2.2 before I equipped it. This shit feels so broken :lol

 

[Themacabre]

I wouldn't worry about it until inferno. Unless you are dying all the time.

 

[half a moon]

Why can't I search for rings with + damage.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

shit, you just made feel really dumb. It worked, though! Thanks!

 

[perryfarrell]

+ damage is already included in the DPS, as far as I recall. So just consider the DPS.

 

[Holden]

How do you guys get your post-flawless square gems, buying them or crafting them? cause the gem auction house seems to never work for me, so annoying.

Rings are sorted by armor tho

they've disabled the auctioning off of gems, iirc.

how long? Permanent?

Good point, didn't think of that

 

[Pop On Arrival]

no idea, honestly. Seems like they were making the in-game jewel crafting useless.

 

[Raide]

That was a lucky guess. Time to change the OT3 title!

 

[UnblessedSoul]

I've got level 60 monk and 53? barb, melee are rubbish in inferno, my mages 30+ and is rolling through everything, melee need to be buffed asap

 

[zoukka]

no idea, honestly. Seems like they were making the in-game jewel crafting useless.

Hmm... should I craft one square jewel with jeweler or buy a bunch of perfect squares for the same price decisions decisions.

 

[Negator]

I picked up an extra one of these plans:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/artisan/blacksmith/recipe/exalted-dread-shield

Does anyone have any other level 10 plans they would want to trade for these?

 

[Tacitus_]

Well he'll be useful for the gems that must be crafted once the market settles.

 

[Artanisix]

I actually heard that bots were controlling the commodity section of the AH so they took it down.

 

[perryfarrell]

I wonder how panicked Blizz is as nobody is crafting shit. What's needed is a patch, or a different market.

Prices for the absolute best weapons in the auction house will keep going up, but there's lots of almost top tier stuff that's going for real cheap. You can get an >800 2 hander for around 10k, which is pretty cheap if you think about it. To craft such an item would take LOTS of money and time.

I wonder how much of the AH stuff is drops versus people crafting gear and selling it?

 

[Kyoufu]

For all you Monks out there, please explain what the hell happened. Some guy was destroying everything with some kind of aura. It looked really flashy like a burst of light, sparkling all the time. Seems like anything caught in his proximity would drop fast.

He literally ran to elites and just demolished them in seconds. Are people cheating already?

 

[Themacabre]

99%

Nope. I fraps'd it so I'll upload it in a few.

 

[toastyToast]

The problem with commodities is that for someone on normal, trash drops from Nightmare/Hell are amazing. So the market gets flooded with gems that are dropping every 2ms and the price gets ridiculously low.

If I recall correctly, squares were going for about 5000 gold last week. A couple days ago before the commodities market went down they were worth 800

Hah, if this continues it'll be cheaper just vendoring or salvaging the item instead of getting the gem back.

 

[Lost Fragment]

With the way people talked about the butcher in inferno, I didn't expect to beat him on my 2nd try.

Guess using a wizard is cheating.
