Mostly just SS
Personally I prefer q,w,e,r, and c for character stop. Moved potions to mouse-4 and never looked back since.

400 resist all must have been the key for you. I'll see how I can stack more resist. I'm reluctant to start breaking up my offensive output, as I'm doing 51k damage. I have no reason to believe it won't be enough; I haven't tried it yet. But if I can't get through him again tonight, I'll go ahead and start selling my stuff in favor of resist stuff. (or farm long enough to be able to afford new stuff while keeping the old stuff. idk.)

After playing the game for a while, would you guys buy something off of the RMT AH? That special something to give you just what you need to survive better in inferno. Something that will let you kill pesky elites faster. Something that makes your blacksmith awesome at crafting.
What's the quickest way to level a fresh character from level 1? I want to mess around with a demon hunter tonight, but I'm not sure how I can just breeze through normal and such. Do I just make sure to open my game to public, skip cutscenes(obvious one here), and then buy some socketed gear level 10+?
No, but you still can accidently click too low on the screen to move around during the action and then a skill, and the Valor buff, is gone pretty fast.
Smoke Screen disjoints stuns and disables. So if you get stuck in a jailer or get hooked in by Butcher into stun, you can easily get out of that. It's basically a couple seconds of invincibility and you can get that with Shadow Power too.
SS also stops aggro on mobs, it basically takes you out of the game for a couple seconds.
The advantage of Vault is that it goes through mobs, doesn't take as much Discipline and if you are doing speed runs it will get you from point A to point B faster. The big disadvantage of Vault is the start up lag on it which I hope they tone down, it gets pretty bad online sometimes with it. Choosing one of them is a matter of preference, I like SS although for the majority of Normal and NM I used Vault.

If you're playing a ranged class you gotta keep moving around. Sometimes that means you gotta move south and sometimes that means you accidentally click and drag a skill out of its spot.
You mean one second :\
Yeah, I had Blur/Illusionist/Galvanizing Ward for my passives, and mirror image - duplicates and would pop that like crazy(almost every time it was up). My DPS ideally would have been at 35k, but I sacrified a lot of DPS for survivability... (and a lot of gold - nearly 1.5 mill XD). Int/vit/resist gear is expensive.
It took a bunch of tries, but even if you suffer a 15-20k dps loss but get those resists up there I believe you can do it. Don't get hit by the double arm smash in phase 3, it 1 shots you no matter what lol. And don't get hit by a single poison pool explosion - 1 shot as well
.Same, but I use space.
Lingering Fog rune... most used Rune on the DH according to Blizzard.
I use QWER, 4 for potion and Space for hold position.
so it's 2 seconds then, rofl.
Any monks builds that work well solo? I've been going with a friend on hell and have taken up the role as tank/healer with this at level 56 or 57.
I fell into the role with my friend who plays DH and I'm enjoying the teamwork it provides us. He sits back and unleashes his high dps while I sit and do a little bit of damage and soak up the damage. We managed to down Beliel in 3 tries on hell (3rd times the charm). I literally had to revive him 3 or 4 times in a row during the fight though lol.
I've been messing around with overawe and I'm not sure if it's better than receiving the heal over time. Any ideas?

Is it too much to ask to get ONE drop that is better than what I'm currently using? I'm level 57 and still have level ~45 gear for shitssakes.

wanted to return to this. I looked it up on the AH just to see and sure enough, there are few bows on the AH with 900+ dps and that much int and vit. there just aren't many of them. It very well could be in the 500k+ range. But the thing is...it's hard to really say because the other weapons with similar stats simply aren't selling. whether they're 200k or 2 million, they've been on the auction block for quite awhile and no action. it's hard to get a sense of pricing when nobody is jumping to buy.First rare drop on Inferno farming. Wish it had Dex!
The issue--as I mentioned before--is that the dps is low. A lot of people would simply rather have a Magical 1200dps 2h weapon with no meaningful stats for a million than something a little more unique and nuanced like this.
That said, I think $400k-$500k presents an interesting option for Wizards who have money to spend at the start of level 60 and aren't quite to Act 2 of Inferno, where more DPS feels needed. Still, at 949 dps, it's competing with 1000+ dps Magical weapons that are selling for 150k-250k. Some might value the bonuses on this weapon at 250k over a 1000dps magical 2h, but many probably won't.
Either way good luck selling it at whatever price you decide on. Very hard weapon to price because of all of the aforementioned factors.
noted. thanks for the tips! I may practice my arm dodging on Hell Belial.Yeah, I had Blur/Illusionist/Galvanizing Ward for my passives, and mirror image - duplicates and would pop that like crazy(almost every time it was up).

That's kind of the position I'm in and I don't have the money to buy it on the Auction House. Level 60 with mid/high 40's and some 50's gear.

I did this because Path of Exile sold me on it (awesome game btw).
---
I had 400+ resist all for my WD, then I went to act 2 and saw how crazy everything is. Though I didn't enter it with my tankable WD but my dd set but I still had 400s. Selling the gloves I found that took me to 400, turns out they are probably worth a lot.
Current stats without the gloves.
I sort of gave up on the Inferno Act 2 boss a few days back, but looking at all this talk about the value of resists I'm wondering when the +40% resists Energy Armor rune becomes worthwhile compared to Force Armor. Force Armor is definitely useful when you have 200 resists, where the resists are giving you 40% DR against mlvl 62. At 400 resists, like people are talking about here, you've got 56% DR. With the 40% boost, that's 64% DR, so the rune is protecting you from about 20% of the damage you'd otherwise be taking. That's going to limit out to about 28.5% extra protection, and obviously at some point it becomes preferred vs Force Armor for most things just because the damage reduction provided by the non-boosted resists limits to 100%, but perhaps single large blows doing 50%+ of HP are always the major threat in practice.
You are looking at the bow as a wizard weapon. It is a DH weapon with that crit damage and vit. It will out dps most blue 1030-1070 xbows (which cost alot more) thanks to the crit boost. I could easily see someone picking it up for 800k, but personally I would price it around 600k as I like to see stuff sell fast.

You need at least 50 resist to all on most slots for a2 and up

That boss was annoying but once you get to know his pattern it's a lot easier...beat him 1st try in hell.
I thought it was very clear (in hindsight) that during the Act III CG intro Azmodan is
talking to Diablo, not Leah.
Blizzard is cheesy, not incompetent.

My hardcore Monk is only 32, but I'm already really digging her armor look.
Speaking of a high-defense strategy, I think that at some point the best Wizard build for plowing through Act 1 and maybe even Act 2 will involve Archon, since the extra DR from that limits out to a crazy-high 49%. Even if you're already running Energy Armor with +40% resists Archon still limits out to 38% (I think).
First rare drop on Inferno farming. Wish it had Dex!
I might be interested in that bow! If you're selling it that is. Any clue what you want for it?

Looking again, and you know what? I agree.
I'm now seeing some that have sold recently with less impressive stats 1 million. A lot of the ones moving have a lot of Dex on them, but w/e. goldensun, I'd price it at a little over 1 million and see what happens. maybe 1,200,000?
Just read today's post from their front page. Liked pretty much everything I read in it up until the part about legendaries being buffed, but not retroactively. That's pretty shit. They basically took another giant shit on the legendary market until this patch now happens. Way to make finding these things even less exciting - now you can be dead sure these items are useless.
Someone give me an appraisal on the price of this shield as I have no clue. AH seems to tell me it might worth a 300-500k but I kinda doubt it?
no res, and under 1100 armour.

well, unless you find something like Stormshield.

Yeah, one of the biggest complaints I have and is why I'd prefer to dual wield fist weapons.
Yeah, I mean unless you find one of the actual few awesome legendaries, the market's going to be gone for these things in a few weeks once this knowledge spreads through the player base. Honestly I'd suggest people dump their legendaries now if they're mid-tier or lower in the market.
I don't know about public games, but what's going on here is that unique enemies (with specific names and titles and affixes determined by Blizzard) are much weaker than typical elite packs in Inferno, but they have the same drops (although they don't give valor buffs).

No, I wouldn't even start. Knowing me, I'd probably spend close to a thousand dollars in the RMAH.
no i never click but i'm trying to target the edge of the screen or something to click movement or drop a hydra or teleport.

Guys, guys, I took a bet since that particular combination of stats is extremely rare, put it on AH for 800k buyout and it sold!

I'm only in Act III Hell but I'm watching a HC inferno stream on Twitch and they are farming goblins in act 1:
