HAHAHAAHA....
Thank god I got all my Pony items before that patch. They were all white before but I can see why they did it. It's very easy to miss the items if you don't know you were looking for them. I accidentally found the Shinbone and almost skipped over it until I realized "WTF kind of weapon is a Shinbone?"
Do Monks stack armor? I saw these boots for 800k but it had 250~ armor.
Need a gold check on these, GAF.
Yeah, we like armor. I'm not sure I'd say we "stack" it any more than any other class. Those seem to be odd boots. For a cold res stacking monk they might be pretty good, depending on if that person has enough resists on everything else. But they're pretty targeted boots. They need a specific cold res stacking monk. No one else will be that interesting, I think.
Anyone know how much these are worth?
A lot. Wow excellent stats, congrats.
Any LoH?
You don't really need that much to compete with Life on Hit unless you're in a build that's at the 60%+ return rate on pretty much all your skills. Many builds, however, aren't. Almost every DPS Barb runs skills that are sub-50% returns. Wizards are even worse. Monk does fairly well with Life on Hit though.
It's a bigger deal just due to the (gold) cost of LoH in general too. It's cheaper to gear Life Regen right now too. Though, you're also looking at needing a lot of specific stat distributions at that point.
I more just meant the whole "Leap in, spam cooldowns, hope for the best." I'm DPSing my way through on my Barb and enjoying it :x
...though, to be fair, my Diablo kill was, "Leap in, spam cooldowns, ohshit kite" but I'm also in Act 1 farm gear!
This game is getting more frustrating by the day. Like many of you I'm just farming Act 1/2 of Inferno and getting nowhere in terms of upgrades (and especially tough when I run into those bullshit elite affix combos), and items that seem decent never sell on the AH unless they're in the top 1% of all items. Blizzard better bring the big guns in terms of changes to 1.0.4 and 1.1.

My guide was aimed at people like this:
I hate to see people get frustrated because they don't understand that this frustration is all there is to the game!
You just need to consult my handy strategy guide a bit further up the page.

I think this was in response to people complaining after they toss their loot confusing important items with gray items. I saw quite a few posts on the Blizz forums requesting the staff be a legendary color.

For reference ... my monk is now comfortable in act II and whatever it can throw at me.
650 resists all
50+ dodge buffed
17K DPS
30K HP
6.5K Armor Buffed
680 LOH
650 LPS
If I sub a weapon for my sheid, my APS increase to 2.35 and my damage / LOH goes up as well depending on what I socket. I lose 1K armor though and don't use gaurdians path to increase my dodge to offeset my loss in armor and dex when dual wielding. I have about 45 LpSS on my gear though. One more weapon w/ 20LpSS and I can get rid of a passive and sub Gaudians path %15 more dodge to offset the armor loss.
I'm rambling ... but it looks like you'll survive fine. It looks like you'll be working for a while to bring thigns down though.

I think there needs to be a "Check the RMAH" step for if your guide still doesn't work :x

Wow OMG I guess someone forgot more than few zeros when they put this up. It was at the top of my list for price range in terms of DPS too. I am amazed I was able to snipe it before anyone else for 15k when everything else was 500k+ lol. Best buy ever?
I just don't know anymore Arnold, I love this game and want to see improve as much as you, but it's getting really tough to not get frustrated with nothing but crap items dropping from very slow kiting sessions, especially given that I have a level 60 for each class so even drops that are bad for one class are good on another, and furthermore when the decent items I get (but don't improve any of my characters personally) almost never sell even at lower than competitive prices on the GAH. I have yet to sell an item on the RMAH as well.Here's the secret though: it is not!

i quit my dh started a wizard but dont feel like farming act 1 since drops are bugged in act 3 and 4 so im just crafting
Anyone know?
Beat Diablo on Hell with my Barb with full MF on. Fun stuff. Anyhow finally on to inferno and it is a good thing I'm not wanting to get any more than act 1 as I would get my face melted with this gear haha. Not 2 minutes into inferno and a legendary drops off a trash mob. Feels good.
Heh, that Inquisitor I sold to flip and then everyone here told me was worthless, so I resold it at only a very small markup is back on the market. Guess I sold to another flipper. It's up for 4.5 mil bid and 6 mil buyout. I swear if I see that thing go I'm going to come back here and virtually punch you guys that said it was worthless
No. Just makes it so that you're more likely to get blues or yellows or greens. Doesn't affect their ilvl or their stats.
It determines when a white becomes a blue, when a blue becomes a yellow and when a yellow becomes a legendary.
or something
ask swiftlame
I guess a white can become a blue, yellow or a legendary, there are no tiers.
just sounds cooler
In the end with the passive they will all come to the same (One with Everything). So just stack any.
Me personally I am not using One with Everything yet because I can't afford the gear yet but so far the element that seems to give me the most trouble is by far Fire. Molten sucks, Fire chain suck hard and those Fire elementals throwing pits of fire all over the place also suck. Arcane isn't really a problem because you can avoid the beams rather easily, Poison/Plague doesn't tick down health as fast as fire from my experience, ice balls are also avoidable. Don't really know what resistance Desecrator falls under but if that's fire too then that's another plus. Physical resistance is another one you want high since you are in constant melee pressure. But like I said, you want all of these up by using All Resistance gear + Resistance of choice that you stack with the passive.
What really? MF literally just affects finding magic items? So it increases the chances of picking up those items, but I have just as much of a chance of getting an amazing lvl63 item as someone with 500% MF? Need to rethink my MF gear...

All Res + Base Res for monk. If you're stacking Arcane, start stacking Arcane and All Resist gear.
I don't think there is anyting special about the element you're stacking on top of your all res.
Well, except in that the amazing ilvl63 items are obviously going to be the ones with more affixes (and thus are not whites, or mostly even blues). So it does raise your chance of getting an amazing item for sure.
But that's the way it's always been in Diablo. All about the RNG.
I do not know what to say, really. I sometimes am genuinely surprised to see that I almost need to feel bad for not feeling bad about this. I had this melee wizard idea a few days ago, and damn it, the mere fact that one can blaze through act1-act2 with ease with a melee build shows that this game has so vast potential when it comes to build variety.
That is the thing that really makes farming Act1 so much fun - all the possibilities that might not be "the best", but when you are three-shotting elites or killing the Warden within 10 seconds, those feelings go away. And I do not even have that much gear, 23-24k dps (with 25% crit chance and 190% crit damage), with 55k hp and ~800 all res, plus ~8000 armor. Broke as hell too, 1mill gold and a few bucks in RMAH.
It is just this: I refuse to care whether other people make more money than me. When I see people bitching about boringness while doing goblin runs and earning real money in the process, sometimes in 200$+ chunks, I think they need a friggin' perspective shift. Cause that is not the definition of boring to me.
(Also, it is hard to be pessimistic when 2 30-60euro range weapon drops in one day, although I do not put them up yet.
)Act 3 of Hell is supposed to have 9% ilvl 61 drops, right?
LOL...150 hours and I'm at 4500dps.

Can I still get a lot for this even though no dex? Not sure how to price. Just using gold AH.
No luck on this one with 30mil/40mil buyout (was being a bit optimistic).
Put it up again at 15mil/30mil buyout. We shall see.

The price on GOOD weapons is beyond fucked up. The price on decent weapons is fair.
220+ hours here, and using the game as intended (i.e. when I find a great piece of item that I cant use, I put it into the AH, and buy myself an item that is for my class.). Inferno is hard enough without optional restrictions.
What level are you? You can have my old lighting / all resist gear at least what I have left. It's nothing special but a starter kit.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
It definitely is. I'm not invalidating your opinion in the least, and I'm sorry that it was so disappointing, but can't help but think you set yourself up for disaster by putting any sort of importance on Diablo's story.
Well, I hope you play more of the game regardless. The skill mechanics, the elites, the loot and the big numbers are the real reason to play the game, and I guarantee that if you go back into the game with that in mind, you'll have a wild time.
One of the achievements is two of every class at 60. Believe it or not I am tempted to do that. 5 softcore and 5 hardcore. yeah baby.
Also Diablo was never meant for the lore so I wasn't let down. But I did at least solo and take my time when I first got this game to take it all in.

I really liked Diablo 2's story, I was really cherishing D3's story too, despite more than a few eye-rolling moments and stupid plot points/character development.
Yea I think I get it now.
So are these pants worth about 10 million or is that way too much? That seems about the rate on AH when I searched..but it sounds really high to me.

Sorry to do price check so much. Any ideas on these two items?

The only real problem with Diablo III's story is that a lot of the major villains are super cartoonified and one dimensional in their constant taunting and revealing of their plans to you.
