I haven't really played this since I finished it on normal the first time. That horrible throw away ending, was like a punch in the gut.
I was hoping there'd be some way to
save Leah
and yeah I've skipped all the story stuff since completing normal. Gotta get that loot! Still haven't managed to sell anything on the RMAH :/I was hoping there'd be some way tosave Leah
Gotta save something for the expansion. Metzen and his
redemption stories
He basically said on the DVD that this is what the expansion would be about

Sold my first real monies item. Walked away with $1.75!
Was it scy or someone else who a while back was recommending Screaming Skull as a replacement for Nether Tentacles? I just checked it out, and I was NOT expecting the Fear to work on Elites. I'm going to mess around with it some more, but this seems like this could be baller, could work really well as a get off me type thing. I messed around with Frost Arrows and I like it, but I wish it either went through crowds or homed better, things like Invulnerable Minions renders it useless when I literally can't hit the leader, etc.
Oh. Okay. Well, I was gonna buy it anyway, but I guess now I'm definitely buying it. Will it be another 12 years in the making though?
Resists ever-so-slightly, I do believe. Even if that's 7200 with Enchantress as well.
Don't think it was me but I wouldn't be surprised if Screaming Skull ends up being at least somewhat useful. Though, I'd imagine Electrified Bolts might be better when your Crit gets to >40%. Not sure, really.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I can see that, but it always surprises me that anyone cares about the story in Diablo. I guess you take a different view of the cutscenes and dialogue when you've gotten 3 classes to 60.
I say 2 years. 3 max.

From　reading　posts,　it　seems　that　DH is the most used build for soloing inferno?
Also what stats are the most valuable in general for high level items?
Dex
Magic find
All resist
Critical Hit
Critical chance
I'm assuming these are the most valuable?

Hah, you guys had me all worried about my stupid purchase a page back. I put it back up for 1.5 mil and it just sold. With the 15% fee I made 275k. Not worth the flip, but still I didn't lose anything. I probably could have put it up for 2 and made that but you guys had me paranoid!
Class.
Hey guys, check out this awesome legendary dagger I just found in act 1 inferno!
I`m so happy right now!
LOL, I found that piece of crap last night in Act 2 inferno! GRATZ!!

Me and a friend took our time on the first play through and worked through together. So the way it ends with that horrible confirmation pop up box and 'ITS FINISHED' was just a big punch in the gut. The story was shit, and you're right in that really that story is an after thought to collecting as much loot as you can.

That's fucked. I don't even remember the last time I was disconnected. I get nice bouts of lag, but no disconnects.
The only time I've disconnected from b.net outside of my own internet actually disconnecting me was yesterday... I was playing hardcore. Came back on and my character was dead.
It happens to me, if I'm playing much, several times a day. I run a ping to google while I play so I know my connection hasn't dropped entirely.
Happened to me last night
but it was when I accidentally yanked out the ethernet cable
My connection has been pretty much flawless.
Until 1.0.3. I disconnect once a night now.

Blizzard has just been arrogant this whole time, and really needed someone who knew what the fuck they were doing.

I've hit the affordable gear/stupid expensive gear wall and can't seem to upgrade at all.
Anything I want to upgrade now that would be an actual step up is multiple millions of gold. I refuse RMAH or buying from gold farmers.
I also don't want to build a crit/crit% build because you KNOW that shit is getting nerfed at some point. I already lost 12k DPS during the IAS nerf.
I seem to farm a straight 200-300k a night and nab and have been getting consistent sales every night in AH, but it is a slow crawl.
Sigh.

Hey guys, I'm not playing anymore, but I wrote a strategy guide for barbs starting in Inferno. It's pretty general, so maybe more than barbs will find it useful.
I coded all of the fun parts in Yellow and all of the parts that require skill (and that you'll get better at with practice, rather than just gear) in Pink.
Let me know your thoughts!

Anyone want a free weapon. Seems worthless on AH because its 2H. I have no use for it
I'd put it up for 10k bid start. A new 60 may grab it.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Hey guys, is it just me, or are the number of people playing in public games WAY down from a week or two ago? I used to see numbers like 200+ on each quest I was on, but now I'm seeing numbers like 13 here, 40 here, 23 here. Just seems like a lot less than I was seeing before...
I doubt the crit stuff gets nerfed, too. They nerfed IAS because it was grossly overpowered compared to other stats. I mean you could get 15+% on things, whereas the cap on crit chance is somewhere around 7 or 8. They want you to have to choose between different stats on your items. Crit stuff innately follows that since it's already 2 different stats, unlike what IAS was. I mean look at before. You could have 15% IAS or you'd have to try and find crit chance and crit damage. The IAS is a no brainer, especially since you can get it coupled with a mainstat on some blue item. You can't really do that with crit stuff. I mean, it's powerful and if you stack it well it can become really awesome, but I don't think it's game breaking. They even said a little bit of game breaking is fine in the case of something like life on hit. They said they liked that if you get enough it felt like you broke the game a bit.

Yeah. Sucks, but that's where I'm at too. Anything I need at this point is just crazy overpriced. I wish you could filter out things that cost so much so that people who were listing things so crazy high would know that most people are never going to even see them.
I'm hoping here in the next couple weeks as people aren't selling things for 100,000,000 or $250, prices start coming down to more reasonable levels. If you're patient, you will find things from time to time.
Just put in a max buyout number at what you would reasonably want to spend on whatever it is you're upgrading.
Eh, my Barb is in ~2M worth of gear and I solo'd Diablo (granted, that's not actually hard) and a lot of Act 1/2 aren't really a problem. I don't even run Revenge and Overpower cools down fast enough anyway with my Crit rate (~55%).
...now, granted, that is in AH bought equipment anyway so I guess the "Go to the Auction House" part is still true.
I hope people don't stop buying things for $250 before I get a chance to sell to them.

Yeah I knew of the scaled down numbers. People using life on hit should probably know as well. Depending on which skills+rune you use life on hit is just better. Regen is good for when you can't catch up to a target, need to get some space (ice bombs, arcane sentries, etc, and between fights). You'd need a ton of it to compete with life on hit where it can keep you in the fight against multiple enemies like loh.
You can stack it insanely high though. It doesn't really matter whether or not a class is designed around it, which is why it will be nerfed.

Been here for a while. The good news is it means your gear is valuable so if you remain patient you can snag good deals on upgrades then sell your gear and basically upgrade for really cheap. The bad news is you're not going to be upgrading your gear with any frequency anymore. I don't think I've upgraded a single item on my barb in over a week. Any upgrade for me costs 30+ mil. Feels really bad.
You can stack things like Life on Hit extremely high, too. The devs themselves said that was fine. It's ok if it eventually breaks the game. They like that feeling. The problem comes in if a singular (SINGULAR) stat is far more powerful than every other stat to the point where it's a complete no brainer that you have to go with that one, like IAS was. Crit stuff is TWO stats to begin with, so it's not even in the same conversation as IAS.
Screaming Skull was useful even long before the nerf. It is very awesome for kiting. The only problem is it will take much longer to kill mobs.
It still is. They never fixed anything. They just lowered the hard cap on it. It is still the most important stat that everyone should go for.
I just cleared Act 3 and now I'm in the same boat as you
Act 4 is tough on me and I can't farm Act 3 efficiently because there are just some mobs that will fuck me over. So my only options are to farm Act 2 or buy from the RMAH which I refuse to do! sigh, maybe I'll just cheese my way to Act 4 and get this game over with already <_<
Can't be any worse than when I found Leoric's Shinbone the other night. I had no idea what it was. Saw a brown item and got so excited.......
