Cluster Arrow->cluster bombs is amazing damage. I ran it pre inferno. Problem is you pretty much have to go attack speed, bomb build to generate enough hatred which isn't viable in inferno.

Yeah I experimented with Cluster Arrow throughout Nightmare and Hell. It was interesting, but just sort of off since I didn't have the gear to pull it off.
Which is better? The right one is the one I'm currently using and the left one is the one I just found. I was going for a LoH build but this new 1Her will give me +550 dps and the 2.2% life per damage is interesting.
And how much gold for both?
Unless you're hitting for 50k regularly, LoH will give you better returns on the majority of your skills.

Second one is better for LoH, first one is for DPS.

If you stack crit damage, and get your crit chance up with gear or sharpshooter, lay down the 3 traps at once, then build up some hatred, then when a mob comes near fire two or three cluster bombs at them right when they hit the traps, so that they all crit.
This sounds ridiculous. I should try it.

This Korean dude does this. He also incorporates fan of knives.

I use the traps myself ever sine I hit inferno. Trick with them is fine an enclosed space, when you lay them they all will lay ontop of each other. Act 4 is good with this on the staircases.
Really liked the little routine at the beginning of the video.

Interesting if true. I never played the CM build with energy twister because it's the worst fucking skill in the Wizard's repertoire for actual combat, but if they unnerfed it for ET maybe they unnerfed it for living lightning/venom weapon as well.
Impressive burst damage, but half of the time I'm wondering like how is he not dying to melee.
That's so neat. I've been using scatter heavily but timing other stuff into it looks great.

reading the previous post's I decided to drop a few mil on my enchantress, I've noticed she's been staying alive alot longer for some reason.
she's holding her own BIG TIME now. I really wish they woulda went all out with followers though....imagine having to gear 2 characters FULLY. I think it would be cool IMO.

Evasive fire dodge and smokescreen with reeaaallly good timing.
Does the backflip from evasive fire give you invul? Because if it's like vault...
I think that guy is running a max disc build, disc on belt, chest, quiver and ring.
Now that I'm out of Gold and it doesn't matter, I have no problem admitting that a lot of the stuff I flipped was max disc belts/rings/amulets.
Rare to find, but people under price them by a lot often enough for it to be worthwhile to seek them out.
(the belt isn't that rare, but ones that also have +dex are)
A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. The point is, people will pay big money for well rolled ones on the RMAH. Sooner or later people will realize they'd be better off with +crit % and chance though. Having said that, the amulet CAN roll 50% crit damage. It's incredibly rare, but couple that with dex and vit, and you've got a $250 item.
I don't think that people under price them, I just think people overvalue max disc.
belt and ring gives max disc too?
Only the legendary ring/belt can.
Stone of Jordan can give max disc, and Hellcat Waistguard can give max disc.
You search everywhere? I did 2-3 runs today in Act 1 and got like 2 packs in the woods, 1-2 at each crpyt, 2-3 at the watch tower area, etc etc.
Yeah I did. Just extremly bad luck I guess. 2 in Watch tower, 0(!) in the area before it, 1 at the woods and before the graveyard. Now heading into the crypts.

Yeah, it kind of doesn't make sense that the rare crafting material is worth about half of what the magic one is when you end up with far fewer of them. There isn't enough demand.
I think last I checked, on US, essences were about 1800 and tears were 200. It doesn't help that you can proc tears when salvaging magic items (and it happens pretty often too) and the ratio of essences:tears in recipes is like 6:1. They need to do something to adjust the recipe costs so that essences and tears are at least trading around the same price.

Ah, I wasn't on today but Essences have been hovering around 2k (give or take a couple hundred) and the Tears were at 1000/900 and falling when I last checked.
I think people are catching on that after you craft like 20 things and run out of essences you have 300+ left over tears :lol
I should've sold all mine when they were trading @ 2k. I knew it was coming too.. not sure why I didn't do anything about it
hurray, my luck finally turned around. made 4 million tonight!
sold a few unid weapons. one i lost the gamble on that was a 1h with 911 dps and 167 int. could have used it but oh well. i was flat broke at the time. another was a bow i sold for 1 million that was crap, so i guess it sort of works out.
now that i have some cash, i'll probably not sell 1h since i need one.

I start from The Imprisoned Angel Quest I believe, where the waypoint is Leoric's Manor. Go into the Manor and kill the elite group. After that just go through the Halls of Agony and kill Butcher. You should easily be making more money than you are spending if you aren't dying like you say. I get almost an entire inventory stash worth of rares by the end of it.
...and I was starting to complain that this game is feeling so rigged, with a seemingly fixed amount of gold drop / hour being present since 1.03 - and that would be horrible, because no one wants to play a rigged gambling game, right? Right?....
Then I got a ring that was actually an upgrade, and managed to sell a few stuff. This game, this game...sometimes I can feel the WOW-style carrot on a stick, more elegantly but yet, present.
Which is not a bad thing once they broaden the skill rune effects ( I am 100 percent sure that they did not forget the indvidual rune's stronger effects. Split that is not split 3 way, but 7 way? Multi-headed Hydras? They will come back, in a future patch. Absolutely sure of it.) to at least allow that flexibility.
Also, wow at this energy twister+melee wizard build. I was just thinking about it last night, and when I see others in this thread mention it, I have tried it out. Wow, just wow. Sitting on full hp in the middle of plague pools, chilling within arcane orbs...wow, just wow.

Depends on what class you're playing and your playstyle.
Now imagine the same thing except with 110k dps and a monk sitting next to you running conviction and cyclone strike...
and hitting you with a heal w/ guiding light passive! 1 shot all the things
Maybe we should try adding that into the mix, I don't need healing though because everything is stun locked anyway.
Well guiding light passive gives you and the other person a 16% damage bonus for 15s when you do a direct heal on someone.
Oh this is Inferno. Butcher is the easy part >.<
Barbarian, i am using the followers skills:

You should be using enchantress just for her armor buff imo
Im getting pissed of, I can't go anywhere in the beginning of act 2 since I get mauled by blue and yellow elites. In act 1 I slaughter every enemy like nothing. Now I have repair bills up to 40k gold as most in act 1 I get to pay 4k gold
Edit: Wait whaaaaaa!? You can press on the left and right arrow to choose more skills in the same category!?
