How did we get broken? I was more than capable of downing Elites in Act II and III Inferno.

Hey, quick question for the peanut gallery here because I've been largely oblivious to what I should be looking for.
How are you seeing that an item has been bid on in the AH at a glance?
Obviously, if you place a bid yourself and it is not above the bid limit of a previous bidder you'll be notified as such and get your money back but how can you tell that from an item listing without bidding yourself?
The only thing I can think of to distinguish between a posted starting bid and an item with actual bid volume is that when you attempt to bid the minimum value on an auction, it will either be the opening bid price (what is currently listed) or an arbitrary number higher than the posted bid price (because you need to outbid someone already tied to the listing).
Is there an easier/quicker way?
I didnt roll a necro until the advent of the crazy rune words, and at that time he felt like badass with an army of the undead at his disposal.
That's exactly how we do it. Go to bid on an item and it'll either be:
A) The bid displayed which means that is the minimum bid and no one has bid yet.
or
B) A value higher than the bid displayed which means that the displayed bid is the current highest bid.

Blizzard HATES classes like this.
The Necro SUCKED at release.
The Warlock (in WoW) sucked at release.
And now they broke the WD.
I know that a summoner is never the right class to pick in a blizzard game.
Although, at this point, the same thing could be said about every class, because they like breaking things.
Except rogues, fuck rogues.
Bingo.

Uhhh, I was a Rogue in WoW and had periods where people wouldn't group with me because I was a worthless rogue
Yeah, I think the crazy rune word patch and the necro minion buff were in the same patch. Before then, skeletons were completely useless.

I think Diablo 3 is viral marketing for Torchlight 2.
I know that feel, I just still hate NE rogues with a passion, so I don't give a shiiiiiiit if they are nerfed to hell.Uhhh, I was a Rogue in WoW and had periods where people wouldn't group with me because I was a worthless rogue

Indeed. It was quite enjoyable beating baal's ass with an army of skeletons and his own minions lol. Good times.
This still happens? I haven't encountered it since the day it was first introduced. Maybe I'm not killing gobbos fast enough anymore?
Could some Barbarians who are farming act3 comfortably post some very general stats on what you should be looking for, assuming your going sword+shield?
I think I've heard that you need less ALL-resists and defense since the patch, and with things hitting less hard. Is their a pretty much accepted base minimum level that you need, ala, 10k dps/900 ALL ress/xx hp/xx armor?
I'm getting pretty bored with my DH, though to be honest, after the patch, I still farm pretty nicely, I kinda just want a change before I get burned out, and since I have a level 60 barb already here, I figure it was the perfect change of pace.
Would it may unreasonable to assume I could fully gear a barb up to farm Act3 spending about 1.5-2 mill per piece excluding the sword/shield?

Better not be a justice lantern.
I love watching my Barbarian get slaughtered in two seconds because the game decided to put a rare molten shielded enemy pack RIGHT in front of the door. Didn't even have time to react and 35k+ HP was gone.
Next time I'll post my gold with all my stats blacked out.
There's an even more terrible one with nerfed attack speed out there...somewhere, waiting to be found.

Christ. I've never seen a game so controlled by fear of exploits. They should just start putting captchas up on the screen every five minutes and be done with it.

15k DPS, 700 all resist (buffed), 9k armor, 45k HP should be relatively comfortable. You won't be invincible, but it will feel about right.
Nice, I've been reading online that many feel that the trio of SS, justice, and helm of command is sorta overkill at this point? You feel that way as well? I'm pretty ignorant on the situation, but I thought making your block chance higher and higher would be pretty beneficial, and allow you to perhaps then skimp in other areas to get higher dps.

Can you tell us what it is so we can bid on it and put it up on RMAH ourselves?
Give me the gold and I will buy it out for you then give it back to you to relist. You just lose 15%.

This joke hits home with me, because I decided to look into TL2 and Path of Exile again today to see how they're progressing. I thought that since D3 came out first I wouldn't even bother investigating these games sans a crazy Steam sale with Torchlight. Now I think I'm probably going to jump into Torchlight day 1.

I've actually never had a Justice Lantern in the first place, although I do have a SS and Helm of Command. I often (e.g. 80% of the time) don't use the Helm of Command anymore, although I do swap it in sometimes on troublesome champion packs. Most of the time I just go hybrid dps/tank now. Enough dps to kill almost anything quickly, but enough survival to be fine for anything but the stupidest affix combinations.
Here's my current stats as of this moment, in which I can comfortable kill most of Act 3. Including Ghom, although I have to respec to a really weird build for Ghom and lose my NV so I don't really bother with it.
Nowadays, when I go "full tank" (and I put that in quotes because it's nowhere near what I would have considered full tank pre patch in terms of mitigation and resistances), my stats are as follows:
I consider this safe for killing even the most difficult champ packs without too much danger. Note the 38% block, 53k health, 650-700ish resist (screenshot includes Warcry Buff). Not saying this is the minimum that you need, just that it's sufficient. Necessary is somewhere below this.
For trash, most bosses, grouping, and champs that don't have stupid affix combinations, my stats look like this (screenshot includes Warcry and Battle Rage buffs):
The difference between the two is that in the second one I've:
a) Put a helmet with strength and crit% instead of Helm of Command
b) Used a chest armor with 250+ strength instead of 250+ vit
c) Used Battle Rage instead of Threatening Shout.
I don't really swap anything else out because most of my other pieces function equally well as both tanking pieces and dps pieces (e.g. very high quantities of strength, vitality, as well as resistance)
I guess it's also worth mentioning that my belt has +10% Frenzy Damage on it, so you might as well just multiply my dps by 10% in both pictures.

You specifically build for it and find pieces that you're satisfied with that fit the dex requirement. That's how I have 2k DEX. I give up a little here and there to get it.
Divide 2000 by 13.
Also this patch totally broke my game. I just work AH and have zero interest in grinding now. Bears don't work. Darts are nerfed and the repair is busting my balls.
I hope someone buys my +20million auctions so I can get back to the dps I was yesterday............

I got that after I installed the patch by just entering the game. I guess Blizzard thought I did too much...

Nice luck today:
Could you post your gear if it's not too much trouble, I'm always interested in your Monk builds.
I'm liking the 1.03 changes so far, except for the repair bills. Vortex, Fast, Arcane and Shielding was a costly showdown. Still I was able to win, but man it hurts my gold. Also took down a pack of elite Soul Rippers without too much trouble.

some decent stuff from my first 1.0.3 warden/butcher run
I just realized a weapon's DPS number does not include the +elemental dmg or +% damage mods.
brb guys, going back for everything I ever vendored/salvaged/AH'd/left on the ground.
Yes it does. Only thing it doesn't include is +critical hit damage. IAS is also factored in.
Been disconnected twice this evening. Once when kiting a blue pack and once just before reaching Maghda. Lost a 5 NV stack on both occasions! Pop-up simply said my connection to Battle.net had timed out and kicked me... what's really annoying is my friend and I play in the same house on the same connection in the same game and he never got disconnected once
