Stand at the bottom. You are immune to fire in that spot.

Has blizzard said anything about the status of commodity auctions? They've been down for almost a week and it's really damn aggravating. I've been watching Kungen's stream for a couple days now and seem him use it a number of times on the EU server, so it seems this is only a problem with the NA auction house.
I had a crossbow that rolled crit and had a socket. Had +250% crit damage at that point. Pretty hilarious.
Sydney, been getting 300+ ms all day for the last 3 days
Seems okay if you're just starting the act.Is this about right for Act III Hell? Think some of you guys were hitting like 20k DPS on their DHs at this point.
Raw DPS is about 7K without boosts
I just finished Act III Hell and here are my raw stats. You'll be making a lot of gold.
Most can barely kill the white enemies in Act 2 :lol
I think the DPS check in Act 2 is too high to kill goblins w/ barb though. Solo I can get it close but can never really get it and I'm using sprint so I close the gap when it runs pretty easily.

Jesus, the male Wizard is classy as fuck.
Anyone else have more stuff than they could likely sell through the AH in a week?
What are you looking for? I'm stuffed full of a lot of craft items at this point (pages/tomes/etc)
Also stuffed full of gems.
Same. A bunch of my stuff went invisible in the AH, didn't sell, and now it's expired (but I can't get it back).
I still haven't finished him. A monk was going to help yesterday (I forget who; Someone here) and then we never got around to it. It's pretty amazing that you could solo it.

I was able to solo him on my Monk with 550ish resist and 30k HP, which I thought was undergeared.

If you're thinking of playing a Wizard, go with suave, pimp Antonio Banderas version.
Lady Wizard's voice is unbearable and her portrait looks hideous

These any good? Don't play wizard. How much would they go for?

Random recipes and gems higher than Flawless Square.
In other news, holy shit at the difficulty spike between act 1 and act 2 inferno. What's the best place to farm? Did a few butcher runs and it's fairly easy, but not sure if it's the best in terms of yellows / hour
How is it this game has so many security holes that someone cleaning out an account is unchecked while something like using a hex editor to change gold in memory isn't a problem? I'm assuming that's the case anyway. Why would anyone go to the trouble to clean out someone else's inventory, which is a complete dick move, when you could give yourself infinite gold in cheat engine. Does Blizzard check only for the later?
I think warden + butcher is the most efficient place to farm pre inferno act 2.
Everything higher than flawless square was cheaper to buy on the AH than to craft =/
The only recipe I have is exalted sovereign helm. Not sure how much it's worth, so it's hard to sell. Probably not much, but who knows without the AH.
There is no such exploit right now. All of that is server side (or that's my understanding anyway).
Is this even possible with everything serverside?
I haven't tried. A long time ago I was tempted though I'm single player, in Nightmare/Hell difficulty you're forced to go to auction house. So it's cheat cheating, and I don't do that.
But if the server can catch clients fucking with money, why can't it detect items being bulk transferred? Put a 64-bit id tag on each item and insta ban whoever is doing it.
What?

650 is probably the most ideal for Act 2 if not higher. You can get in and fight monsters as long as you have the Life Per Spirit Spent to heal yourself and can generate the Spirit. I have 676 base Resist but only 23k HP so I can survive most enemies if I'm careful.
I could've soloed Belial too actually but it takes a little bit as I only have something like 16k DPS unbuffed. I just didn't want him to randomly one-shot me so I needed more HP. Opiate came in and helped and did the heavy lifting on that front though so I could grab a bit of attention and take a few hits.
16k. Elites can take a bit but it's not bad if you can isolate one or two from the minions and regular critters. Gonna work on upgrading my damage though.

Fast Jailer Arcane Sand Wasps in Act 2 Inferno. I'm going to go out on a limb and saying no amount of gear will ever make this killable without dying.

Ugh fuck Inferno, the difficulty curve is just broken.
I'm so disappointed at how much better Median XL is in so many aspects compared to D3. It has highly challenging end game areas, builds up to them in a smooth difficulty curve, gives unique rewards for doing them and introduces new mechanics in the challenge. Gear comes with so many more stat choices and gear choices can completely change the way a character plays rather than just being 'same thing, higher stats' like in D3.
I'm kind of astonished that Blizzard couldn't do better than a free mod made by 1 guy. It's so sad. I just want to go to Blizz and sit them down and make them play Median XL and take notes.

I wouldn't say never, but that's definitely on the list of things that I avoid. By the time I run the gauntlet and get in melee range it just flies away.
I very rarely skip packs but some combinations just are not worth fighting.
These for example. I've killed something similar before but it took...a very long time. There's four 'flavors' of arcane constructs and the fire version is 10 times harder than the others.

Make sure your laptop is running in high performance mode, or the equivalent. My laptop changed to battery saving mode on me a few days ago for some reason and it took me a little while to figure out why Diablo 3 was running so slow on my machine! Haha

Finally after a few days of farming Act 1 Inferno, I was able to solo Act 2 over the course of the day. Good times, although the loot was awful despite killing every blue and yellow pack I came across. 
Two more to go!
Two more to go!
I actually finished Act 2 with just under 10k. Bought a blue fist that had almost 900dps today and jumped up to about 12k. Been slowly working through Act 3. Had 5 stacks but those stupid toads with their tongues. So damn annoying.
I'm in Act II Hell as well with 34k HP, 8k DPS, 50% dodge and OK resist, and its STILL a bitch.
This game is a love/hate relationship with me now. Act I Inferno and I'm just bored of running the same levels over again already. However, I can't stop thinking about upgrading gear pieces and finding something amazing when I'm not playing. I still get excited when I see a yellow piece, even though it almost always ends up being a 200dps weapon .
Are the 1k dps+ weapons only found from Act 2 and later farming?

I think they're only found from act 3/4 inferno. I've yet to see anything worth a crap from act 2, although admittedly it's so ridiculous killing elites there I haven't really tried much.

Damn my account was hacked-and all my loot and gold was taken. Pretty dick move.
I logged a ticket and asked for an "Account rollback"-pretty ridiculous that I have to do this-but I'm tired of beating my "this should be an offline single player game" drum.

Just got my first Legendary and it doesn't seem to be very good...
What do you guys suggest I do with it? Disenchant or sell (for how much) on the AH?
Look it up and see how much it goes for. Absolutely no reason to break it down. You'll get something for it.
For that level the DPS is woeful. Although, not as bad as this crossbow that I got
Who in their right mind would use this at level 56?
I'm loving the game but damn, all the exploits have really set some players ahead of everyone in gear, progression and gold while the rest of us struggle and earn our way. Serious bs if it effects the RMAH. If they did a reset I wouldn't complain at this time. Big balls if Blizzard went down that road.
I farmed the A4 minibosses in Inferno for over an hour while listening to podcasts. Junk loot all the time at 150% MF. I'm starting to believe people that say they may have been nerfed.
Is exalted sovereign helm any good?
