I got the D3 mouse as a gift, what is the best setup? I got a useless button..its set for action button 5..unless that exists it does nothing.
Also kinda sucks I have to switch profiles to use scroll and back/forward in browser.
But how do I maximize my mouse for D3? Or other games..this stuff is new to me.

Post her stats man! Have you started to stack ASI already? I started to look into it but high int/attack speed rings are way too expensive
Haven't seen anyone claim to get one outside of act 3 or 4 yet.
It will be very cat and mouse if it's like the PvM system.
Melee characters with resist would mitigate 200k DH damage to like 8k damage, and a 30k wizard down to like 4k damage. So it would be closing distance against range classes before they drain your life, whilst range classes try to evade you. Range vs Range seems like it would be dodging attacks, but there are homing attacks which that wouldn't work against.

got the 6 prop boots. Finally something to blow all my mats and money on, chasing the rng dream.
There would be an incredible outcry if they placed limiters on characters (like making everyone the same DPS/Armor/etc and having the difference maker be what skills the person used and how good at the game they were) so I wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't balance it and said "Okay folks. Here's an arena; Fight each other in it".

Finally got through act three. Got a Wizard in the group that was practically invincible who pretty well got the three of us through the last chapter on his own. Seriously, Heart of Sin is the longest/worst part of the game. Glad to be done with it forever.
As long as I don't run into elite/champ phase beasts the heart of sin is all right, I personally can't stand the keep depths.

It's just so long. Felt like we were running into elite mobs every two steps. Which would be awesome if we were farming, but sucks when we are just trying to get to the end. Didn't get shit worth a damn from any of them either.
We also had a shitty witch doctor with us who did nothing but die every two seconds and got pissy when the wizard who was pulling us along laughed at him getting blown up by a dead monster.
I thought they said forever ago they weren't going to do shit to make it balanced? Going to be anything goes crazyness.
Everyone will go naked.

Something is wrong with the European AH.
I apparently just won a 1018dps 1hander xbow with a socket and 104 vit. For 5.2m. Set my max bid to 9.5m
But the item wasn't listed in the AH, I searched for it like an hour ago, wasn't there.
Auction has ended but I haven't got it yet. Ridiculous bargain if I do.

Nah this happened a couple weeks back on US server.. Happens to alot of people on HC, why I haven't really dipped into it.. Any server issue can screw you over. It's my biggest complaint against online only, as HC suffers from it.
It gets easier in act 4, at least for me.
Heart of Sin had nearly impossible elites on every floor for me. 2 of which I outright skipped after leading them to a dead end to kill me. Spamming any 2 of wall/jail/freeze while being fast (sometimes not even listed but it's obvious) + fire chain + teleport/invincibleminions = fuck that. Especially considering they nearly insta heal if you die.
I died probably 4 times in act 4. I switched to really high resist/armor/regen equipment and slowly ploughed through.
What I think made act 3 harder in heart of swarm was that there were those large enemies that innately had teleport, and it's all narrow so it's easier for you to get killed.
Any advice for a monk trying to progress in Act 2 inferno?
Right now this is my build. I get through act 1 like noting but act 2 is a problem
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aXgYQi!UYX!YbYccY
I have 10k dps, 4,681 armor, 744 resistance without manta (893 with), and 38,706 hp. currently duel wielding fist weapons i get 185 life on hit and 111 life per spirit spent.
Whats going on not enough armor? dps too low? improper build? I thought about getting a shield but my dps is already shit. Time to change up the build?

At first I thought crit would be the way to go, but with the limited slots available, you can't really get her crit% high enough for the crit damage to really come in there and trump attack speed. So that explains why one ring has attack speed and the other is crit focused. I haven't changed out the crit one to an attack speed ring yet.
YES. are you still there?
Leveling up a HC character and basically starting from scratch was an interesting experience and a good reminder that current Blizzard has either no interest or no clue how to make a game like Diablo fun in the long run.
Changes like the repair costs and Ghom are also a good showcase that they don't seem to think things through beyond the most basic level.

I do that but where I forget my companion. And then I realize I'm owning anyway, and I'm like "holy shit I could be owning even more with my companion."

Yeah. So far, Act 4 is way easier. Got a good group with a nice Barb and Monk going.
EDIT: Welp. Spoke too soon. We're hitting elite groups now that are bringing us to a grinding hault.
I was trying to do Azmo runs in nightmare at level 36 with no LOH. It wasn't going well.

Can someone help me beat The Butcher real quick? I just want to start up Act II. I know I have to get my resists up but I don't have the cash atm.

Sheesh, the demand for emeralds is so crazy. Perfect squares going for 1k a pop, it's even driving up the price of Tomes of Jewelcrafting to absurd amounts. I know crit gems are pretty damn powerful but I always figured that the bottleneck would ultimately be dependent upon the gold costs and Tome of Secrets needed to craft the gems, not the base materials.

Mmm....not sure about that....
Seriously? Cool, I have a reason to farm act 2 now at least
Was this before or after patch 1.03?
Def before, from a dead body or some breakable thing.
Come to think of it, most of my legendaries and set items came from random things that isn't dropped loots.
Out of the 15+ legendaries/set items I've had drop, only two were from monsters. That's before they took MF out of the equation for chests and stuff though.
I bought a bunch today before the prices increased much. I thought this would happen because as I farmed act 1 today I noticed the drop rate for perfect squares is vastly reduced. I probably got 1 total per run.
You don't want to start act 2 if you don't have cash and you cannot beat butcher. While the gap has been reduced, there's still a significant bump in difficult between act1 and act2. Originally it was to the point that wasps could 1-2 hit you to death if your all resists were below 300.

58k dps, 30k health. Need to get my resists up though.

Pretty sure the Scoundrel is actually a better tank/distraction than the Templar if you give him the skill that lets him smoke screen out and heal. Rarely do I see him die on me now unless he face tanks an elite.
My Templar has pretty shit gear though, so...

I don't know what your gear is like, but my stats were similar. I bought a cheapie 800 LoH and 90% crit damage (370 dps) offhand to keep myself alive with WW. Tornado apparently only takes into account main hand damage.

wait did you sell that for 5.2 million or buy it?

wow the name of that really nails it

I've been getting worked over badly every time I try Act II. These stats should be a go, right?
Nevermind the skill build; I was just goofing around on my last farming session.
