I don't mind, Xarielle#1851
I wouldn't mind either, wanted to start a wizard anyway.

I've got a Wizard (60) halfway through Act 1 on Inferno. Like most, I do fine until an elite mob shows up, and I'm still okay as long as they aren't ones that run a million miles per hour. Is there any point at all to buying equipment that increases run speed? I don't even have enough time to turn and shoot these guys, so I just run away at this point.
+ Movement Speed is very important if you intend to kite, you can have a maximum of 25% passive movement speed but you can only have a maximum of +!2% on your boots.

Installing D2, suddenly got the urge to find some awesome loot.
It should really be "all auctions are cancellable as long as no one has bid on your item. Once a bid is locked in, sorry, it's too late."
Just get rid of the timer altogehter then you don't have to worry about people messing with their personal clocks.
oh shit top of the page. Noice
With Life on Hit and my resists quite high, I can actually tank most mobs in the face. Elites are a hodgepodge based on what type of modifiers I get. Some are tougher than others.
This is all Act 1, mind you.
My build is:
1 - Fan of Knives - Retaliate (use this whenever it's off cooldown)
2 - Caltrops - Jagged Spikes (Part of the AOE combo)
3 - Smoke Screen - Gas Mixture or whatever (Also part of the combo)
4 - Preparation - Heal Rune - for dat 60% heal. hello potion #2!
Left Click - Grenades, Grenades, Grenades - Gas Grenades. More DOTs, more DOTs!
Right Click - Impale - Awareness. More AOE goodness.
Passives: Vengeance, Grenadier, Cull the Weak
Basically, the whole idea has been from the start to wade into melee, drop some AOE, and then maneuver deftly around dying from fire and green shit. Fire chains? Laugh it off. Electrify? Laugh it off. I only have real trouble with enemies that like to run and use mortar (who doesn't?), and some shitty combination of FAST FROZEN MOLTEN. Which I think I actually got past that by just standing still. lol.

Got a Justice Lantern and a Helm of Command now--up to 46% block, but I'm still getting beaten down pretty hard in Act III. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to tackle this act before the nerf...
Really enjoying farming Act I, though. Plenty of gold to be had and I got my second legendary item, today! An Andariel's Visage. Sold it for damn 10 million, which I then used to buy the Justice Lantern.

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?
Oh yeah.

So is inferno all about the resists? I saw that guy above with only 32k life (along with a bunch of awesome other stats). My DH in hell currently does 13k damage and has 40k life; I just easily soloed Belial.

I'm down if you guys are still looking for more. Picklecannon#1125.
It quite literally ramps up really hard; enemies will one shot you without proper defense if you're trying to take a hit. Some people play being master of evasion.

Rakanoth? Soul Ripper/Lasher/Whatevers are one of the hardest enemy types in the game (hardest for DH IMO), but Rakanoth's teleport attack should do a lot more damage.
I like it when people try to scam you and then fail miserably. I tried to buy something worth 500k, and put the 500k in the box every time. The person put the item in there, and then tried to take it away real fast and hit accept. The only problem is, he failed. I gave him the benefit of the doubt on the first try (I know, why?), but when he tried to do it again (and failed) I had to laugh.
I think he was trying out a script or something. If he had done it manually by hand, he'd probably have my 500k right now.

Yes, my friends account.
Not sure, just gave her the support number and account recovery page.
They were only level 20ish, just thought it was odd.

Wrong thread oopz.
My gear sucks....I am doign act 1 nightmare and even the tiny zombies can kill me in about 6 hits.
So how many of you are going to give Torchlight 2 a go when that comes out?
I wasn't too curious about it before D3 was released... but now after the whole long hanging exploit nerfs and economy imba, I'm not very enamored with D3 anymore - definetly looking forward to giving T2 a go, if only to extend some of that sweet non-inferno click and loot fun.

Actually if anyone wants some good DH stuff on the NA servers, I could use a Torchlight 2 Steam pre-order.
D3 scratched my loot whoring itch for the next few years/till the expansion.
I preordered TL2 when it first could be. I also got into the beta for it.

Awesome. Thank ya much for the tip. I wasn't sure why I couldn't find above 12%.
Just got into Act 2 Inferno. It's funny that no matter how many people joked about the insects 1-shotting them and being a pain in the ass, I kept telling myself "Nah, I'll be fine." And then I fought the first group of flying bugs....and they had their way with me. Hard.
And one more random note. I play with Blizzard, but I'm not really in love with it. Deciding if I should switch to Acid Hydra or Teleport...? I use Storm Armor, Diamond Skin and Force Weapon like most do.
That is if you play on open? I don't even do that in D3 cause most random people are douche bags anyways.
Always stick to friends.
Act 2 inferno is still too hard with a wizard, but much easier than monk.
You all that made it through are either really talented, okay with dying more than demon souls, or used exploits to get top gear before they were all nerfed.
I'm waiting until 1.03.

Give me 3 million gold and I could equip any class to get through ACT 2 with a little bit of time on the AH.
I've done it with the WD / Barb at least.

I'll take all of the above for 300.
I'd do bad things to good people in exchange for a way to sort Legendaries by stats.
Just..pages and pages of worthless STR Andy's. Why don't you barbs want Andy's? 13% IAS, STR, Vit, and pretty cheap.
Even the socketed ones seem to pop up at less than a mil.
I'd kill for a dex andy under a mil, socket or no. Heck, I never see them under 5m.

I expect a sticker when I beat Act 2 on Inferno with my Wizard. I hated this act on every single difficulty.....Inferno is just about going to make me punch my monitor.
Damn, I'm afraid now. Wizard is 17K HP, 21K dps. At least my resists are in the mid-400s.
Unless Blizzard wises up and really fixes D3 then I'm out soon as TL2 drops. Made by the real Diablo team so you know it'll have tight gameplay and a good endgame. The open servers does kind of suck as far as pvp goes but for the item finding aspect TL2 >>> D3. The D3 team is just so incompetent when it comes to keeping a balanced economy, botters out, and items that are fun to find.

I just forced myself to reach level 60 finish Hell mode.
Why? I don't know. I still don't feel like playing anymore.

I am.
Personally am very disappointed both in the lack of content (sorry I don't consider 4 playthroughs on different difficulties separate content) and lack of unique interesting loot.
Found more interesting/unique loot in 2-3 hours of torchlight 1 than I have in 30-40 of Diablo 3.
Try another class if you're bored of your current one.
The good thing about patch 1.03 is that I should be able to get the equipment I need in act 1.
My wizard can kill all but a couple of types of elites within 20 seconds. Only the invincible minions + arcane + walling + teleport + unfortunately narrow surroundings can get me. But not by much.
Earlier I said attack speed + doesn't improve spells. That was incorrect. Wizards with healing blades and attack speed on a few items makes surprisingly good melee.

Is your avatar picture a witch with breasts bigger than her head?
Act 1 is easiest to farm because it has the least dangerous enemies and there are lots of pots to break and chests to open.

Hell Mode? Azmodan Runs (Starting from Arreat Level 2). Easy five stacks, then a boss (spider-succubus lady) then a hallway and then Azmodan. 8-12 rares, even with minimal MF gear.
Or Hell Mode Whimsyshire. Definitely have MF gear for popping the clouds and piñata.

Wait till you see the Amazon.
I made it through act 2 with less on my WD. Make sure you have your cheat death (spirit vessel i think), and vision quest as your passives. I had almost 20k dps but used zombie bears with soul harvest and the voodoo (mana rune). You'll still die but everything drops really fast when you can spam your bears doing 230% DMG each.
I don't understand. Is it from some kind of cartoon?
