Might be a bit extreme but they really needed to do this. I've gone from being on the verge of calling it a day to actually being excited to play again. Hell, I might even try and gear up other classes for inferno as well now.

O-oh my... That's definitely not an insignificant increase. This is like a droplet of water after a huge drought from so many farming nerfs.

Of all my gear this is my most expensive item I guess, I got this pre 1.0.3 on my first act 3 run ever from a white mob.
Is this a 250$ amulet?
I'm letting GAF decide if I should sell it
edit: fuck it, I'm selling it
DO WANT lmk
That legendary lvl 55 spear is worth millions of gold for the MF if it gets a good roll.
which shoulders gaf
Do you value life regen?
Pretty much cleared all of it
which shoulders gaf
Keep looking imo. Keep in mind those shoulders can roll up to 300 str so you want to be stacking as much of it as possible. The more STR you get on your shoulders the more you can skimp out on for your other slots (i.e. pants/chest where high str is very expensive)
yes but i'm only at 570 right now, 297 if i switch shoulders.
although 570 is not bad
oh plus i go from 31% life to 22%
well i found them , lol

I'd be down later tonight on my DH. Bit too squishy still to do Act 3 solo, and I haven't upgraded my gear much since I last tried.
ok, if you add me balddemon#1627 i'll let u knowWhatever one you pick...send the other to me
alright cool
I was kidding but that's pretty cool of you.
man if you need it...its yours. i aint usin it anymore
Oh lol. It's tough to call. I would run it through EHP calc then give the ones on the left a little extra since it has life regen on it which is nice to have. Whenever I have two pieces like that (tanky vs dps) I usually keep both and just swap depending on the act I'm in though.. at least until I can find one piece that is as good as both combined
Max MF Roll (25%) so it's not bad at all for an MF set. Someone will pay for it I wager.
I guess it's time to dump everything for $3-$5 then. Shit.
Hm, okay. I never even considered that people might be willing to pay for MF gear. I'll put it on the AH tomorrow.
It wasn't bad to have it for a couple of levels when I was leveling my barb but my God was it a disappointing first legendary, especially considering it dropped on my DH.
yeah it's really not even close. lose 40k EHP without dodge if i use the high str ones. so looks like its not an upgrade after all

Templar can use it.
Besides that, swapping for the last hit I guess. I dunno. I sold mine for like $10.
Max MF is always worth something to someone.
I'm still stuck on Act 2, but Dexterity (which you should have lots of anyways because you're a Monk) and Vitality are the must-haves. And Seize the Initiative is highly recommended if you're 1000 Dex or higher.
The most effective method I've found is going through the entire last chapter of Act 1 in a co-op group and using Conviction as your mantra w/ Overawe rune. Enemies taking 24% extra damage from your entire party (48% if you're constantly refreshing, which you should be) is way too good to pass up. You have to be right next to the enemies, though, so again: use Serenity wisely, and kite. Kiting is something you can't avoid doing as Monk sometimes; that's just the way it is.
Stacking evasion techniques w/ Mantra of Evasion is fantastic for normal enemies, but consider some of the worst-case scnearios for a Monk: elites with molten, desecration, plauge, and frozen + anything. These can't be dodged, so they aren't really going to help much against elites. I would only consider it if I planned to farm solo.
If you're not stacking resistances to use with One With Everything (this really only becomes worthwhile once you've stacked one to be about 500 resistance), and you don't have LoH gear or weapons, Transcendence is still your best survival tool. Constantly refresh your Mantra of choice to get quick heals without having to run away. If you DO have lots of LoH, though, or gear that already gives you plenty Life Per Spirit Spent, consider a different passive. I personally like Beacon of Ytar just because of less downtime between Serenity uses (with the Ascension rune on Serenity, its only 20 seconds between when Serenity wears off and when you can use it again).
Also consider Earth Ally for the health boost, and its ability to force enemies to attack it instead of you when you need to run away.
You switch right at the end

HAHAH ... I feel like canceling plans with my brother in law and his wife tonight. My wife would be so pissed. HAHA.
Meh ... I'll just stay up late. I'll get some good farming in this weekend too.
anyone with mad dps wanna go through act 3 with me?
fyi i haven't beaten any of it yet, i'm just taking forever to kill anything lol
What's your DPS? I was rolling through it pretty easily besides Elites taking awhile with 11K DPS.. Almost tripled my DPS from the first time I went through Act 3 and what I beat Diablo with.
Man, those droprates look kind of insane. I hope they won't nerf them in an afterthought. But so far it's been like 'yeah, it kind of sucks I can't get anything really badass in Act 1', then in 1.0.3 it was like 'ok, that's pretty cool, got my motivation to farm my favourite act, thank you Blizzard' and now it's reaching the 'HOW MANY? Man, that's more than I've ever hoped for!' levels And I already loved this game pre-1.0.3

Tell that to all the people bitching in that new Diablo whine thread.
Are you killing packs? Because 5 stacks guarantees a rare from a Goblin. I tested it right now, got 5 stacks and went through the act. Killed around 7 goblins, all dropped rares and never less than 1 rare.
Tell that to all the people bitching in that new Diablo whine thread.
There's some legitimate complaints but, honestly, a large amount of, "Inferno so hard gear doesn't exist!" complaints make me wonder if they're actually playing the game. I have four characters that are deep Inferno capable and only one has a ridiculous amount of gear. That I farmed for her with her. Hell, my last one did it on a budget.
I quit and then they increase the drop rate. Of course, they say the drop rate in Act 3 of Hell was 9% for item level 61 and 1.9% for level 62 yet in my experience, in my actual real world gameplay, it was 4% for 61 and 0% for 62.
More specifically, 3.4% of magic and rare items dropped were level 61, with 2.9% of rares and 3.65% of magic items, after 1044 drops. So either I have statistically almost impossible bad luck or...
Item level 55 was by far the highest, at 25.6% of magics and 17.6% of rares. Followed in both cases by level 58, then 52.

Attack speed works if it says "attack speed increased by" instead of "increases attack speed by". Haven't bothered to test poison damage bonus
I do agree, Diablo 3 isn't perfect, but I find that people are naive in thinking that PoE or TL2 will be any different. The worst complaints are people who have never played a loot whore game, or a korean MMO. They'll play TL2 or PoE thinking something different will happen, but it will be more of the same.
Test iiiiit and then sell me the boots lol.
Yeah, you know the hooks are in when you consider skipping plans with friends
.Because I have tomorrow off, I will simply have to stay up till 3/4am when I get back tonight.
Yes, this seems like a good idea. Looking forward to seeing higher ilvl gear rolling in.
I'll give PoE the maps though. Those sound awesome in theory. Diablo 3 needs some kind of real end-game stuff on top of Inferno.
Maybe Inferno 2. It'll be like release Inferno all over again!

they'll be dissapointed with TL2 and PoE as well, some people were looking for a $60 game to feed their MMO grind addiction. They might get it with GW2.
TL2 isn't a $60 game.
TL1 already had better end game than Diablo 3.
The most important part is, TL2 allows mods and won't have the nanny state developer monitoring everything. If you don't like something about the game, you will find a mod that fixes it for you. Or you can make one yourself.
