God damn it. Was talking to my SO on Skype while playing a public co-op game on Hardcore Nightmare with my level 49 Wizard, who also had a pretty good Legendary piece of equipped along with all of my high-end gems. 35h play time.
Well, she linked me some stuff, I forgot I had pressed ready for the first event in Act 4 and I tabbed out. Came back in to find my corpse on the ground with the rest of the team fighting all those little adds that would have been a complete joke had I not been tabbed out. What a complete fuck-up
I knew my first char was going to die sooner or later, but not like this. God fuck it. Oh well, time to start a new hardcore char and learn from old mistakes. At least I had a bit of gold to craft with.
This is the most rookie of rookie mistakes in HC mode.
smh @ you

That was unnecessary. Do you understand pro-league Halo terms?
Well, that is only half of the description as kiting means you're moving around while attacking having the mobs following you. Like if you're pulling the string attached to a kite.

What is the verdict for WD, in regards to their weapon? 1-Hander + Off-Hander or a 2-Hander?

Heh I assumed kiting is something taking roots from kite surfing and in Diablo terms running close to mob dropping huge AOE attack on heads of enemy and running away
I have no chance in Hell Act 2 against elites/champions. Normal foes arent a big problem but those guys kill me without me having the slightest chance. Any suggestions? Health is around 18k.
No one? I have no problems farming Wortham. Or ar there better farming spots?

OK now that makes more sense, cheers to the non-smart arse responses.

What should I farm? I saw a hardcore guy farming azmodan hell.
Sorry, 7 pages old but I went to bed so:
The recipe was something like 400k, and the mats maybe 100k. I've probably made over 20 of them so it's not the cheapest thing, but it can pay off.

Up to 2 million gold now. I'm in the market for a new weapon.. but the one I have now is really good so it's hard to choose.
Right now I have a 850DPS rare with a socket. I'm curious how high I have to upgrade for it to be noticable. Stuff I can afford right now are 1100 dps xbows... with no socket. Curious if that loss in crit damage would negate the upgrade. (I have 25% natural crit)

Your Vitality is low but that shouldn'T be the problem, do you have revenge? I'll post the build I've been using since I was like lvl20 and it's been prety great so far (Will probably have to change it for Inferno though). It relies on plenty of selfhealing (with revenge, rend ticks and shout healing).
Most elite packs you WILL have to kite around, this makes rend your best friend, come in, stomp (stun), rend, kite. The more you practise, the better you'll get.

This game should be pretty great, when the first ladder resets.

Are there going to be expansions?

yes, 2 confirmed as of now.
Knowing Blizzard, that's a given.

10k health? What the fuck...
unless you have 45K health and tons of resists, most things kill you anyways. Better to just stack dps and never get hit imo.

I hope they add Paladin back and maybe one more meele oriented class
I am not sure if "never get hit" is an option with vortex champion packs and mortar packs, lol
I have right now around 67% armor, 50%+ all resists, 18% dodge and 26% block, 40k health and 21k dps and I do not even dare going into Act 2 (Went in once when my stats were a bit less than this, even killed 2 champion groups, but it was not optimal at all..). Wizard, btw
Yeah I personally like enrages. You cant just turtle it out, you have to have output too. Its one of the gear check methods I actually like.
Yeah to be honest. Farm gear if you are hitting the enrage. Gear farming for Butcher is viable, he isnt overtuned like Act2 Inferno. He is doable.
ok i know i need more resists. keep dying constantly in act 3 hell. anything else? should i wait til 60 to get new gear?
This is my Monk at level 53
Has 32,359 HP (35k with my earth Ally out) and crap dps. I built him all for tanking and its fun as hell. When I join a party with a Barb and they use that shout that increases all your resists by 50%?
Oh... god.... I already have 460 resist without that barb buff which is like 64% damage reduction. It will get absurd when I run some pubs with barbarians with that shout up man. Im just going to stand in everything. I also stacked HP per Spirit Spent so I heal huge and constantly. God its a blast so far.
When I said 40K, I didn't mean that that is unreasonable. Its just better to get 120K dps, so you can farm faster act 1 inferno, than get Tank stats with 12,000 dps, where u can't kill anything fast enough.
The point being, act 2 is so crazy hard, you need tons of money before you can even attempt it.

I'd rather stack resists personally. Glass cannons are not fun and tanking helps your team survive too.
Basically, I would never stack damage on Barb and think I'm going to do good.

What should I farm in hell for act 4 hell and act 1 inferno?

It works fairly well.
Farm the highest areas you can with the highest concentration of mobs to increase your chances at that loot.
Punch punch punch (pool spirit) >> mobs going for other members >> Cyclone strike sucking them all back to me >> get healed from spending spirit back to full HP >> Punch punch punch etc etc

Man there is a 1500 dps crossbow on the ah right now... wish I had 55 million for it.

My 1 hand xbow is only like 356 or something =\
Just tanked Belial on Hell on my 53 monk. Just stood in the green shit and refreshed my mantra occassionally to top health off. The 2 wizards with me just stood off to the side blasting him. I tanked standing in a single spot the whole fight during the last phase. Heeeelllllll yeahhhhh.
THIS. 3 is not enough when you are looking for high end gear. They were very shortsighted there.

So mobs are better than bosses?
How much does not having much magic find as melee hurt farming?

I'm a Wizard. Upon encountering an enemy I drop a Vernon Hydra and use Disintegrate. If they're not dead I kite back and finish them off. For Vortex elites I hit Diamond Skin as I'm sucked in, then run out. If needs be I activate my 5 duplicates, drop a Hydra, move back, Disintegrate, repeat, win.
Once you know enemy attack patterns it's easy to dodge and move around, and as a Wizard you should never ever get hit by those Act II bugs.

I logged in this morning and all of my items and gold were gone and I was in Act 1 Normal, so I guess I got hacked? How does this happen? IIRC, I didn't even play in any public games yesterday. My password is reasonably secure. Will Blizzard restore my stuff? How long does it take?
Here's my stats on my Monk. I'm in inferno act 2, and I'm still getting wrecked by most champ packs. Any suggestions?
You could likely use some more Armor and Vitality.
This is what I am doing to gear up my monk
Which did you choose?
I see you're not actually "into" Act II yet. 10k won't work, you will get hit, and this will be one shotted every time. Also you will constantly die because you are busy channeling a spell (like disintegrate) instead of kiting. Inferno is where you drop the disintegrates and archons and everything that seemed OP before because it sucks and will just get you killed now. You can't stand still to channel and champ mobs will eat your diamond skin and your 10k hp in a single gulp. Good luck putting together a new build.
