Ick, frieze carpet.
Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for here. =/

I don't think that's really fair. He spent 750m gold. Just because there's an exchange rate doesn't mean he flat out spend cash on it.
that's a fine specimen
That is the 2nd crossbow I've sold for $250, sweeeeeeet.
That paypal rape fee.
You don't get 750m without either spending some real money, or botting. No one is that good at flipping stuff on the AH.
Blizzard/Paypal rape fee. I wonder how much Paypal actually gets compared to Blizzard. I'd love to know the % split.

That's probably true, but even if he's botting or duping, it's still not the same as spending cash on it.
That being said, I've made probably close to 60 million in the past week from doing ponies. I've done it a FUCKLOAD, and I only have like 12 million gold right now, but really I've made a ton. It's not completely out of the realm of possibility.
Nice pair.
How can I search for maximun dmg on the AH?
This dropped and I don't know how to find one similar to price it
+Dmg is mostly worthless. You are adding 13 to a 900 max weapon.Nice pair.

Search for Str/All Res ammy.
Sort of. Nice tits tho. Who is that? Someone on gaf?
IDK 750 million is a lot. Even if he earned it legitimately, I don't see him blowing his entire bankroll on one item, no matter how "godly' it is. So I'd say it's either a botter cashing out as suggested in this thread, someone spending their disposable income, or what seems like a very, very unlikeley scenario where someone has legitimately farmed over 750m gold which I just don't buy. Maybe he got a godly weapon that he sold for 750m gold then bought this amulet with that money. In either case I'd still like to drool over the rest of his gear.
I can't play this game right now. My wrist hurts. I've got the Diablo Claw.
My money is on a botter or someone that bought gold. No one goes "Well, I saved up this 750m gold, let's see what I can buy with it" "OOOO AN AMMY!"

It's pretty damned good even without it.Wonder how he'll feel if IAS is nerfed into that ground spending 750m on that amulet.
Still will be a 8% DPS boost. Nothing else beats that.Wonder how he'll feel if IAS is nerfed into that ground spending 750m on that amulet.
Im probably late, but Blizzard gave an official response to folks noticing the bullshit Hitbox detection on melee and ranged attacks, and the way you sometimes get hit by stuff even though you have evaded 10+ yards away from it by the time the attack/swing sequence ends.
I sort of figured it was the game. My ping is fantastic a lot of the times and my rig easily runs the game at a rock solid 60fps, yet I will still eat a melee attack a full half second after I vault away from a mob.
Nothing more frustrating than leaping away and dying at your landing spot, and there are ZERO visible enemies on screen because you were already a screen away before the attack decided to just hit you anyway.
Micro'ing apparently is apparently not reasonable or fun. Go figure.

just need DPS and the will to run.
Yeah, that reasoning is straight up pathetic. What's likely more difficult to do is create a better hit detection system.

I've had the same thing happen with Smoke Screen. End up half a screen away, dead. It's even more insulting since SS provides invulnerability, but that swing must've connected right before I used it, even though the damage didn't apply (due to latency I suppose) until after SS was up.
They don't want skill to be part of the game because then people wouldn't need to buy $3500 amulets.

I like how they think they know what's more fun.
More arcane lasers
More invulnerable minions
More computer precision walls
More ways to piss off players.
I mentioned this to a friend yesterday, less skill, more gold/money to buy the gear that allow you to do stuff, because it's sure as heck isn't going to drop for you.
I'm this close to figuring out that MF mouse control gear swap command thing then using it.

It's actually quite amazing how well they work. Similar skills, like the WDs Zombie Wall usually line up the way you expect them too, as well. Doesn't make me hate wallers any less, but hey, it is impressive.
Thats the vibe I got from it too. Less skill, more gear. Jesus that just reeks.

crazyy, where did you farm em? Or did you buy them from the AH and sell at the RMAH?
That is the 2nd crossbow I've sold for $250, sweeeeeeet.
They can't really escape that assumption. The funny thing about their justification is that three of the five classes will kite regardless, because they can't survive otherwise or because it's more efficient.
With the exception of the Monk (who has a crappy one) every class has one or two escape skills at least, that's something.
Some of the worst are Herald of Petulance and the big mace guys. HoP start their tentacle animation, it hits the ground then comes up wherever you are no matter how far away you are or how much you've moved laterally. I thought I was clever doing a furious charge which is like 70-80% move speed for 30 yards the first time I came up against them but nope.
The mace guys are equally ridiculous. They'll jump into the air and it doesn't matter where you are after that outside of moving away from them. In most games you can rotate around them if timed right but these guys will just 180 and slam down on you.
Their design decisions are mind boggling.
Yeah, you have to close the distance really quickly, because they stop doing their tentacle attack then. Doesn't help when there's five of them and you don't have a skill to pull them all close.
Dunno about the Heralds, but the mace guys (Dark Berserkers, I think) will have their attack fixed. It won't track 360 degrees any more, so you can dodge them to the side, not just by stepping out of range.
Yeah I've learned to charge them as soon as they begin their animation. Those things hit CRAZY hard in melee range though. It's almost a lose-lose situation :lol
The worst is when you close in and then some other auxiliary HoP's hit you with the plague tentacle.
Glad to hear the mace dudes are getting fixed though. It's annoying to "successfully" dodge one of those and still get stunned by that attack.
And die in Phase 2...
i just got my inferno pony staff, i decided to give it a go and i cleared the zone for the first time, it wasn't that bad, died a few times on 2 of the elite packs but it was doable. i wouldn't mind finding a few people to roll the zone for quicker clears though.
my 60 is a wizard, adequately geared, 32k hp, 42k dps, 350 res, etc. us servers polishmoves#1333.

Gotta love it. Reflexes? Who'd want to use those in a video game. I mean, really. Probably why you can't close doors anymore either. Using the terrain is also, obviously, unacceptable. I guess that's why so many fights (especially boss fights) boil down to "find a decent spot and hold down left click, right click every now and then."

Pulled both out of the cursed tower in act 3.
Sigh, the temptation of ACT III is tooooo strong! I cant keep farming act I knowing I can actually survive in act III. I just kill so much more slowly, have to skip 1/2 the rare mobs and I still have terribad luck with rares those rare occasions they drop - cause I definitely cant wear my MF gear.
I need some good drops! I cant sit at 1,5mil forever!

Awwww yeah.
Then I found an Andariel's Visage and need a price check (RMAH and Gold please).

It's so annoying how my progression in Act III depends on whether or not I'll run into ridiculous rares or not. Everything but the winged fireball hurling bat demons is easy in terms of normal enemies, but most elites just completely obliterate me.
For a second I thought you'd framed the screenshot...
-Pyromaniac-

lol I'm the same way. I can't get shit done when an elite pops up in act 3. But in act 2 I OWN most elites save for the fast moving ones (because I'm a DH).

At work and only had that photo - forgot about the things hanging off my monitor :lol
Wow...... this is the first thing that has made me truly angry about the game. I've died to this crap countless time on my DH and always assumed it was due to lag (especially cause I'm in Australia). But intentional? And attempting to justify it by saying it's apparently no fun to play that way? Because what's more way more fun than using reflexes is to wonder why a melee attack that was no where near you just killed you.
Sigh.
Guess I'll just keep building up my MF gear and wait for 1.0.3 with the intention of farming more gloom tank gear (I could probably just buy some more now, but I'm frugal and also want to wait to see how much they tone down A3 inferno. With my current gear the only thing that stops me from using gloom all the time now is that soul lashers can 1 shot me if I don't have it up, can survive a hit or two from most other things though).
