i know.....
That's pretty much the witch doctor; the pets suck although you can use garg in a hell group fine. If he was using bad medicine then mobs were getting a -20% damage debuff although garg with big stinker does that well also.
Most people use dart w/ splinters and a huge portion of AoE attacks require getting mid-range so they are iffy. I use darts with an acid rain here and there a lot of the time.

Well, to be specific, it's
Act II: 8. The Black Soulstone: Soulstone Chamber. You have to defeat Kulle, and TP back to Adria for the 95k exp
A question to all though, is Magic find and Gold find stats on equipment still viable once you have Nephalem Valor?
i'm only level 41, so I can't really talk about how you SHOULD play them, but I have 4 zombie dogs with the life rune that allows hits to be transmitted to my dogs. I then rush in, cast that thing that allows me to up my DPS (it's in the 2 slot, and gives me life when I cast it) then I just cast acid rain and throw those bouncing fireballs that track enemies. It TRASHES people so far. But I'm only on nightmare, and i'm not 60 yet. So yeah.
Of course. Only question is how much can you stack magic and gold find before you die more than you farm.

How much damage is mitigated approximately for a point to all resistances?
Still on Hell, just curious

Magic find on equipment works differently than magic find from the neph buff. I don't know how or why but it does. It's worse. Get it where you can without making sacrifices in any other department, otherwise don't aim for it. The level 60 buff was enough to make me and a friend start getting yellows from 2nd+ major boss kills, my 100%+ magic find from gear alone before 60 was not.
Yeah NV works differently for major and sub-boss kills. 5 NVs pretty much guarantees a minimum of 2 rares but that's not how it works with a random stat like magic find.

Thanks guys.
I'm in Hell, so trying to good armor with decent stats, gold find and AR is pretty expensive. So I was thinking to sacrifice gold find.
I hate impulse buy ('lost' ~300k on a useless bow that I thought was good), but for 115k, this armor is pretty good right?
Great deal for the price, don't worry about it. You can flip that for a profit later if you don't care to wear it.
is this worth any gold?
The dps is pretty terrible for a 2h, not really.
I see lightning the most. Just remember you can always see what "happens upon" your good gear, then find +all resist on gear too to make up for the gaps.
Unfortunately "worth a damn" has been redefined by the people selling stuffs on the AH farming on later inferno acts. I stopped farming that route (also plus it takes too much effort for my current gear).

Breached Keep. Down one branch there's Soul Rippers with molten, extra health, waller, reflect damage. OK. Fuck you. Go to try the other branch. More Soul Rippers. Invulnerable, fast, reflect, molten. Reset time!

Wow, Act 3 Hell is a whole lot easier than Act 2 was - I didn't make any huge gear upgrades between the two but I'm pretty much breezing through here. I'm probably 3/4 the way through and only died twice and only skipped one Champion group (Vortex + Molten + Shielded)

Is the US AH still busted?
Higher base damage allowing for higher burst with abilities iirc.
Somewhat, I can buy armour and weapons etc. but not dyes... strange.
Tried to farm The Terminus. After seeing my first rare item being level 55 I laughed. After seeing the second rare being level 52 I cried.
And then somehow I managed to drag an ability off my action bar in the heat of action and lost my Valor buff near the end.
You can turn back off elective mode and it locks your toolbars so that doesn't happen anymore.

6k-7k maybe
I bought a +78 Intelligence / 14% IAS for 10,000 the other night and it seemed to be about the going rate. Sold a +64 Intelligence / +12% IAS for 9k today.
I think they're underpriced at this point for some reason (at least relative to other rings). People ignore blues too much.
Good to know!
Yeah, after that I was thinking of trying this. Good to hear it works.
They aren't really underpriced considering they can be bought for 8k from an NPC lol

Still in Act 1 on Hell at level 53, but some of the rares are starting to get extremely frustrating.
I think this game would be a lot more fun to play if it had direct controls via WASD or a pad.

Inferno claims another Wizard's soul. Wait until you actually get to the final boss. LOL.
The fact that you have 50k dps and good resist makes me less interested in buying a better dps weapon. I suddenly feel like the weapon won't help me all that much.

I've gotten some good stuff myself, mostly junk but some solid stuff that sold on the AH, mostly armor.
The crafting section is down right now. The armor and weapons part seems to be working fine.
Inferno is meant to be a cock block. If people could walk through it like the rest of the game then they could claim they are "done". It's meant to be an ungodly awful experience for most sane people. I'm not sure what is wrong with that approach; Otherwise the people willing to play 18 hours a day for a week+ in a row would finish the content with ease.
On Hell?
Sellers remorse.
I wish I sold my awesome crossbow for much more now.

After a lot of co op I'm actually leaning most heavily to Demon Hunter as a viable class for completing Inferno.
sheeeeeeeeeeyit
maybe if you're clocking in at 140,000 damage.
First good drop in Inferno. I bet a monk would sell his left nut for these
What act did those drop on?

im going to roll a wizard ( PRINCESS AZULA!!! YEAHHHH). i haven't read too much on the builds/classes, but is a wizard able to complete inferno without heavily relying on gears/AH?
Jailer->Butcher runs. 160% MF.

So is the only class worth a damn for Inferno Wizard then?
Seems like 50-50 fight for both.
Still amusing to remember how some thought DH wouldn't be viable for inferno, due to stuns being near useless in the difficulty.
Lol I quit Inferno on my Wizard too, I killed Skeleton King and was in Halls of Agony ready to do Butcher and I gave up. I was just tired of constantly getting Elites with Jailer, Vortex, Shielding, Mortar or Invincible Minions. Seemed like almost every pack had one of those affixes and having to constantly quit and reload and hope the RNG gods blessed me with affixes that were worth the effort.
It just boils down to my expectations of Inferno, I thought it was going to be slightly more difficult than hell with the difficulty shifting to much more complex boss fights. With the random way loot is and how difficult it is to get item rolls that are actually useful for Inferno coupled with the introduction of the RMAH it's clear D3 Inferno is designed as a Pay2Win situation. Hopefully the announcement tommorow will ease my concerns about Inferno.
