Let us know when it's back up, tyvm.
I've only run into it twice. The first time I had no idea what was happening and they just chain killed themselves and dropped like 50 mobs worth of loot :lol
The second time I was with a group and we kept kiting them back and forth and killing the illusions.
Never seen vampiric/illusionist though.. that must have been amazing lol
Well it sold it seems, now I have some room to improve my barb!
I found a lvl 61 helm with 50 int, 140ish Vit, 44 All resist, and a socket. Would it be worth anywhere near that much?
Not even close.
It's more of a sign that the buying power of gold is decreasing rapidly imo.
I'll just hold onto it then. Been saving pieces of gear to start a Wizard so it will come in handy either way.

Anyone have any links to DH builds? I keep messing around with things but im not getting the same kind of synergy feeling I got on my Monk :/
I expect the price of items on gah to skyrocket once you can buy gold on the rmah.
I wonder if this AH downtime means they're turning gold selling on =/
I hope not.
My expectation is that gold having an actual value (likely $2.50 per million) will bring prices in the RMAH and GAH down. It will be the end of most people bidding out their ass without thinking about how much real money they're giving up.
I could be horribly wrong, of course.

So-so items? The sold items which have been posted recently are end game items, not perfect "godly" rolls, but ideal for people upgrading to do act 3 and 4 comfortably. It's been over a month since the game launched, and a week since 1.0.3 was released, plenty of time for people who are really serious about playing acts 3 and 4 to farm and make gold.
Once you are in the position to easily farm act 2, you readily build up gold as you are waiting for the slight upgrade over your current gear that will make act 3 and 4 that much easier. You are also fighting to get the best price and item with other people who want similar gear upgrades as you, so the price is worth it, and we aren't talking about shit that has been sitting overpriced on the AH for 15 hours already.
The only oddities are odd items going for over 100mil that don't make sense stat wise.

Man i need to upgrade some stuff to survive better in act II. I think i need to start staking Vit. Anyone tell me where my weakest link is.

This is also my expectation. I think you'll find less disparity in item quality for the money between the two houses as well. I also expect the GAH to have the best items moving forward.
A $250 item is actually 100 mil gold if they start selling at $2.50 per mil.
As we've seen ... people are willing and are rich enough to spend more than 100 mil in gold.
I'm really curious to see the effects.

Damn I'm stuck...
I'm down to 50k in gold and I equipped my Wizz best I could. I have some 25k damage and 25k health. 6k armor and very bad resists... like 130 something.
But I can't even farm Act1 inferno with ease
Reflect damage monsters PWN me all the time, rest I can barely mange.
This is my build:

No idea what to do really as I lose more money than I make because of dieing

Actives:
Hungering Arrow - Puncturing or Devouring Rune
Cluster Arrow w/ loaded for bear or Elemental arrow w/ Ball Lighting (seen some frost arrows out there, but I'm not a fan)
Smoke Screen - Lingering Fog
Preparation - Battle scars or Backup Plan
Companion - Bat
Freebie, usually Caltrops - Torturous ground
Passives:
Archery
Tactical Advantage
freebie - grenadier to supplement Cluster Arrow, Sharpshooter or Steady Aim are pretty common

Do you mean today's patch? Or 1.0.3 in general?

No, they decided to completely remove ilvl 63 loot from acts 1, 2, and 3. It now only has a 0.5% chance to drop from* the adds summoned during the Izual fight and shadow clones.
Wondering if anyone have any clue what a weirdly itemized mf amulet like this could be worth:
There's so few amulets with similar stats on the AH that it's really hard to get an idea of a possible pricepoint.
40 freaking magic find....... I would put that up with a starting bid that you would be ok with it selling for, then put a ceiling buyout on it of like 30+ million. Give it two days and see if it goes.
Honestly? I'd be laughing too much to care.

Well I was missing a from =P
But seriously, the servers have been live for only something like an hour, are you implying you think they stealth nerfed drop rates or something?
Every second the AH is down, it makes me more worried that gold selling is coming online.
I haven't even seen a white iLvl 63 drop in an hour of mindless Sarkoth farming, which makes me think that they may have.
That's why I'm asking lol.

They nerfed the infinite ZK quest xp on normal.
I think they are going to buff act III/IV to original stats rather than debuff act I and II?

Could be they just nerfed Sarkoth? Unless you're still getting a ton of gold from him, dunno. There was a line about gold and leveling exploits.
Hopefully. From what was said in this thread it really didn't seem worth it to farm act 3 or 4.

I was in the same boat until I went to an arcane hydra/orb build. Now I kite with ease on all of but the most loaded affixes.
I use magic missile/seeker
Arcane orb/the one that blows through mobs - this is handy on invincible minion packs as the orbs pass through them and hit the main mob.
Arcane hydra/the rune with slow
Teleport/fracture - awesome escape + distraction skill
Force armor
Dskin/crystal shell.
Can't remember my passives at the moment, but there is one with arcane slow, arcane ap regen
See a champ pack/elite - hit the hydra in front of them + a couple of orbs and begin the kite. Switch to magic missile when out of arcane power.
Get walled/jailed/just plain trapped, hit teleport. The 2 images will more often then not distract a couple of the mobs in the pack allowing one to break off and burn down.
Diamond skin as needed
I only have 22k dps and about 35k health and I burn stuff down really quickly. I do the butcher in sub 2 minutes time.
The only pack I recently ran into that gave me some trouble was a leaper elite with invul/molten/jail/vortex affix...but that is a bullshit affix for anyone really. I just moved around it.
Gold drops are about the same.
K. Guess I just haven't been getting any.
I got one just before, like 20 mins ago.
I was hunting for a DPS weapon upgrade in my 50s and spent a lot of time looking. You'd probably be lucky to get 150k just because people in their 50s don't have a lot of money. I actually ended up sniping my 700dps bow at level 52 for 7k.
But that's just my opinion
I largely ignored anything about 100k cause I couldn't afford it.Damn I'm stuck...

Mel are you trying public games? If you can make it towards the middle and especially the end of Act 1 Inferno, when you join public games, you can often get groups with people that are flat out farming it. It might be best for you to try this. Join some public games, make sure you leave and join a new one if theres no tank (Monk or a Barb with a shield equipped). If there is a tank, stick around, play cautious and dont die while dpsing. Get your 5 stacks and get carried a bit.
Build up your money, 50k is dangerously low and about 2 hours of unlucky deaths away from being too broke to repair your own gear man.

Yeah, but I'm thinking a lot of people should be on their 2nd or 3rd toon by now, they should have money from their main. Thanks for the advice though.
Last I checked, searching for them still requires people to go out of their way and search a Level 60 item with Reduced Level Requirement. It would probably sell better on the RMAH than the GAH but, even then, I'm not sure if it's that big of a deal.
Personally, I just kept my ~700 DPS 1Her for alts. I'll worry about selling it after I get my last character to Inferno :x
Gah, was gonna do a quick public game Butcher run with ya Mel but your on EU
Once you complete that, it would be easy for you to just join public games at the 'Imprisoned Angel' quest starting point and get quick and profitable butcher runs. You would probably be carried for a while until you got the money or upgrades to drop, but it would be better than grinding through early Act 1.
Geez.... Waste of a Legendary drop.

Do only level 60 legendaries salvage into brimstones? I got two horrid legendaries this weekend and both salvaged down into three encrusted hoves.

Oh, also use enchanter stack with int gear and a decent 2 hander...extra 4-6k dps depending how you do it.
