I use a script to swap gear. If they want to ban me for it, to Torchlight 2 I go.
What bothers me is the 2 minute cooldowns on some skills. Just seems excessive.

am I crazy or is it always the longest 2 minutes of all time. When you're playing the game normally time fucking flies, when you're waiting for something to cool down it's as if time has completely stopped.
So spent ALL my money, and upgraded my gear - at this point, I can do act II no problem, infact took out Kulle and Belial first attempt, haven't really tried act III. Wanted to ask GAF their opinion on my gear/build! If there are any noticeable holes
This is me unbuffed btw

When preparation (45 sec cooldown, restores all discipline for a DH) is on cooldown, time doesn't move at all.

forrealzz, blizzard needs to step up their time distortion game.
I've already more than made up that cost selling gear and gold.
Also, 150 hours in, I have my monies worth.
I should have sold my gold a week ago when it was still going for a decent rate. Now I'm just going to get whatever I can on the RMAH and call it good. At $6.50 per million, the game will have paid for itself (after the 30% fee).
Here's hoping that I can even get that much for it.
The problem is, I don't trust sites lol.
Petrie, you're a WD right? Is a mojo with 64-346 damage, indestructability (and no other stats) decent for a WD? Decent enough not to vendor anyway, lol.
Sites are still paying that much. Just saying. You should be able to get $5 a million with no problem right now, without the the 30%.
I'm sad that I was too lazy to even farm the Royal Crypts on my Wizard before the nerf ... I knew it was coming but I always figured "Eh I'll do it tomorrow."
Now it's too late
Honestly it wasn't that good. Like 15k gold tops per run. With a wizard, disintegrate, and large pickup I could see it being slightly worth it for people starting out inferno, but I get way better stuff getting a 5 NV stack and sweeping through the swamp, cathedral, cemetery, fields.
With a monk it's shit because stuff like vortex dies off without attacking anything and monks don't regen spirit without hits. So you had to punch every pot manually.

I can say with almost 100% confident that this goblin is definitely not the same as it was before. It still drops at least 1 rare with relatively high confidence if you have good MF, but it's nowhere like what it was the other day. When I did this a few days ago I could get about 15 yellows / hour on this guy. Now I'm lucky to get 7-8
It doesn't make it unfarmable or anything, just slightly less efficient. It's still probably the best act 2 farming IMO, but it was broken before. 2 days ago I had 3 full pages in my stash filled with unidentified yellows after 4 hours

Considering I'm the one who showed it to you I would guess that I've been killing him for a longer period of time and I don't notice any change whatsoever. I haven't even bothered switching to my MF suit to kill him, still get 1-2 yellows just about every time and he shows up about 50% of the time. I'm playing witch doctor, between spirit walk, hex, and horrify I can pretty much run straight to the bottom and then port out if I don't see him. Working with 2-3 other people I get even more rares and fill up the backpack that much quicker with all of use finding goblins.
The real nerf to the goblin is the steadily decreasing value of act 2 gear on the auction house. Went from making ~5m a day to ~1m a day.
Honestly it WAS that good. My DH farmed it for over 700k an hour. I completed runs in less than 30 seconds. Sad to see it nerfed but it had it coming.
ITT we find out who's running bots/scripts and who is actually playing.
No one on GAF is actually playing this game. I thought this was clear by now.
Holy crap. I finally see that 'spikiness' that the devs were talking about. I was fine in Act II - my health is a touch on the low side (35k) but with over 800 LPH, my health consistently stayed up.
Now all of a sudden in act III, I'll be dealing with 20+ regular mobs, health steadily staying at max - but a soon as they start dying, my health fluctuates like CRAZY. Essentially, if I am facing down too few mobs, I could be absolutely fine or just... die with a few unlucky hits.
They need to make dodge more practical maybe add like... a partial dodge feature, where hits 'glance' off of me.

maybe add like... a partial dodge feature, where hits 'glance' off of me.For mojos you want to be as close to the max damage as possible. An average of 240 or higher is great. After that people want mana regen, crit chance, int.
If you get something like this, I'd sell it on forums because you can't search for damage on AH (so bad)
There are some enemies in A3 that burst damage me for ~20k hp (after 10k armor 1k res 22% melee reduc). :lol
Oh yeah totally. Because it's so hard to manually run the crypts.
And it's rich that you accused me of running scripts when you yourself already admitted to... running scripts.

Man, Blizzard really doesn't think about what the nerfs they do. If you're going to nerf Tyrael's damage then at least nerf the amount of life vampiric elites can get from him when you're doing Act 3. It's so damn stupid.
Then of course there are all the stupid programming glitches/quirks that just fucking ruin my time when fighting elites.

It's so hard that I did it for hours with just my mouse hand, while the other hand did all manner of other things.
RIP crypt runs. RIP Act 3 chest runs (that aren't in the cave of doom). I understand why they had to do both, but I'm still salty.
Piercing Orb, Blizzard, Venom Hydra, Diamond Skin, Teleport, Force Armor.
Passives: Illusionist, Glass Cannon, Whatever You Want
It might be better to not build for Resist/crit % and just get Int/damage and bank on force armor + teleport + diamond skin to be the things you use in concert to mitigate and avoid damage. You can't make many mistakes in Inferno act 2 at your current gear level.
You didn't get enough, probablyJust got this
Sold it for 8mil instantly on official forum.
Thank you based co-op nerf.
Nah I set it at 8. Other weapons priced at 10 or higher haven't been selling recently so I just wanted the quick sale.
I don't think Tyrael is worth recruiting any more. He's that bad...
I'm a DH, and the only thing I hate about Inferno is fighting Champ packs/elite mobs. They can be a bitch to fight and most of the time they would one shot me. I just defeated the Skeleton King which was easy but I don't think I'm ready to go against the Butcher yet. Here's my stats and build. I think I need much more better gear. Should I focus more on DPS and stack Vitality?

He still joins you for Siegebreaker though so.
He'll only join if you go to Rakkis Crossing so I just leave that for last. He's just a nuisance now when he attacks Goblins when we're not ready :/
He keeps elites from regenning to full though.
I finished nightmare and already feel like I'm done with this game. Items just aren't interesting at all. I hate the matchmaking system and everything the game does just encourages you to play solo or only with friends.
I was already down on it after playing the beta but I guess the hype got to me and now I pretty much regret buying the game as playing through it on normal (my first run) wasn't all that fun really... I think having the AH took the game in the wrong direction. At least in D2, you'd find some good set items or uniques that would drop early (like the Saigon set) and would actually last you a while. Now it's just look (and hope) for finding mispriced items in the AH, buyout, play through an act or two, repeat.

Eh, I don't really have that problem as often as I encounter vampiric enemies. He has a tendency to make those impossible when they come with plague or whatever.
Not to mention his eternal hatred of treasure goblins
Shit. Thank you for your help. I'd had no idea how to deal with that terrible game design until you told me.
Seriously, what the hell - from a gameplay perspective, what the hell is the point of Elective Mode?
Also, I should be back around 9 PM EDT. Anyone want to help me take down Inferno Belial?
Battle Tag: Ourobolus#1609
I'd appreciate that checkpoint as well, if anyone has it.
The AH flipping game was fun for a couple weeks or now. Now the "endorphin rush" as someone put it, isn't there for me.
Farming hours on end for 700K/per is pointless when you can play the AH flipping game and make a lot more than that. I've made a paltry sum finding items in this game, and a ton of gold by finding undervalued items on the AH and reselling.
Bots are dangerous from an inflationary standpoint because they never fatigue or succumb to boredom.: set them on their task, hope your vidcard doesn't fry.

If it had MF it would be thanks to the indestructability. As is, I'd guess its vendor.
Cant you just run minimized and not even touch the video card?
Just lost a 120 INT/13 IAS Andy for 2m because someone bid 2.1 and the seller accepted without asking me to make a counteroffer. X_X
Edit: Thanks.
