Getting 2000 dex isn't that much of a feat. It's getting all the other stats + dex that costs alot.
Well I don't want 2000 dex and 15000 HP or less LOL.

My monk turned out to be way more defensively centered. I don't really like playing that way that much, but that's about the only way to find I could survive without having a ton of gold. I want to slowly turn it the other way, though, now that I can tank Act 4. It'll cost quite a bit, though, unfortunately

What is your DPS? We should farm sometime. I still haven't finished inferno BenN1ce#1430
17,000 unbuffed. About 19000 buffed. I'm in the middle of deciding which shield to use. One gives me 4000 more life, but puts my damage down to 16,000 unbuffed. The one with the higher damage gives me a higher block amount, though. I could go middle of the road and switch the socket on the lower damage shield to a dex gem and get somewhere in between.
What class are you?
Yeah it's a joke I dont even know why I'm farming with my DH.
I miss my barb so bad. Activate Berserk, leftclick champ pack to 30k life, switch to 340% mf, profit from three rares. Now I'm happy if(!) 2 rares drop ... Man fuck it.
Even if the AH is up again(... soon(trademarked!)) - can't buy jack shit because I spend 9 mill before the game froze on my barb. WANT HIM BACK.

I'm out of state currently, hotel advertised high speed internet, I usually sit around 1600 ms :/ can't wait to get home.
Looks like we are getting some info on proposed magic find changes tomorrow.

I play with a monk that also doesn't use LoH and he's pretty much one of the best tanks I've ever grouped with. Never dies, no matter what the pack of mobs is. He just stacks crit damage and LpSS

Should be interesting to read what they have to say about. Cue the extended beta jokes.
Didn't someone ask last year why the beta wasn't more substantial in order to thoroughly test out the gameplay, and they responded with something like "we have the best testers ever don't worry about it lol" or something.

I don't usually care about AH being down, but does it have to be when I was going to bid snipe a 60+m (maybe 100+m) ring for 11m? I should have just bid on it earlier when AH was up briefly, but there was at least one person bidding on it so I didn't want to drive the price up too early.
Shh, don't let the secret out.
FoT: Thunderclap is just too OP with Sweeping Wind: Cyclone. I can stay up for much much longer using FoT: Quickening, but Thunderclap is just so much better in terms of both utility and proc/damage. They gotta nerf it!
Diablo has always been about farming items. We're all bots anyway when farming.
If you wish to be rewarded for skillful play, duel when it comes out or beat inferno without the ah!

Not because of that.
My post doesn't mean that the point of Diablo 3 shouldn't be farming items. Of course it should be. My post was about how the concept of magic find on gear introduces a skewed risk/reward mechanic that makes botting easier. Diablo 1 didn't have magic find.
The history of Diablo 2 and more playtesting on Diabo 3 should have told the devs all they needed to know years ago about the flaws of the magic find mechanic that they are so desperate to fix now, a month after release.

Nice, just had a Stormshield drop for me on Act 2. I actually was disappointed at first because I never realized it was round.
Probably alot lol. I lost a character when the server crapped out as I approached a fallen bomber group.
Yeah, so far I like it. It can kick my ass if I'm not careful, but I can survive, and I don't have ridiculous gear. So far it seems to work as they intended where you start out defensive in gear and build and then you can switch over as you get better and better gear. I'm still on the defensive side, though.
Though I do have to admit I still believe something happened with some of the DOT stuff like molten and desecrator after the last patch, and I liked things a bit more before that. Maybe I'm crazy, though.
Dude.. the DoT on the construct things that spit fireballs in a2.. WHAT THE FUCK MAN. Did those always tick so high?
Does that look right to you? I don't even take that much damage over time standing on the origin orb of an arcane sentry! The worst part is those things are white enemies and that's their main attack that they can do like once per second :lol
No, I'm pretty certain they didn't. There's something fucked up going on, and I'm not the only one to notice it. There was a thread on the official forums, and there were a few others on here that asked something. Act 2 doesn't bother me a ton, because I blatantly overpower it, but yeah I did notice it there, too. It seems like a lot of the fire damage especially got really bad. I think even the fire grates in the keep are worse. We were all getting hammered by those fire grates really badly the day after the patch, but I didn't really put 2 and 2 together until I noticed I was doing the same thing as before and taking more damage. Namely, before patch I did an Act 4 run with a barb, and with his war cry on I could stand in desecrator stuff, not indefinitely but for a good amount of time. After patch I had to get the hell out asap, even with the same barb war cry on. That's when I realized something was up, and then yeah I remembered the fire stuff doing more damage. I noticed it a bit more in Act 4, and then when I went back to roll more Act 2 I noticed those construct fire things were hurting where before I didn't even notice they were doing it anymore.
Yea, I remember even a few weeks back, thinking that I was pretty much invulnerable in Act2, and nothing could kill me besides some super unlucky arcane/molten/descretaor walling in, with leap on cooldown, except for those damn regular white mob things that shot that fireball that literally kills me in like 5 seconds if I stand still. Remember thinking it was a bug or something that their dmg was way out of wack with everything else. At least they never seem to be anywhere else except in the actual Tombs.

They always have been abnormally high for me but I've only played melee since 1.03. Elite packs of those fire constructs with nightmarish are the worst elite packs in A2.

I thought this he other day too. I was getting whacked by an elite pack that had no business whacking me. Turned out it was a construct blasting me from the end of the screen. I felt like molten became my worst enemy too.Dude.. the DoT on the construct things that spit fireballs in a2.. WHAT THE FUCK MAN. Did those always tick so high?

I don't get this MF hoopla.
Am I the only asshole that spent extra gold for gear that was good in addition to MF?
My DPS is 48k buffed (wiz) and my MF is at 214.
I had to trade off resists and even DPS, but I don't pull any gear switching shenanigans. I just have a feeling that I'll be screwed somehow come tomorrow.
Oh well, that's what I get for playing by the rules.

I did the same thing. My DH was primarily geared to have good DPS but also has 98% MF without any stacks. My 60 buys were focused on IAS and MF. If BOTH get nerfed, I'll be pretty annoyed.
What's happening tomorrow?
Also, if anyone's up for group farming Act 2 or 3 (or even 1), add me: Cebo#1447. Farming solo, even if it's the best gains, gets dull after so many runs.

First thing I thought of that would make it painless would be to retroactively give every piece of gear some level of MF, but I doubt that'll happen.Bashiok said:

Theres going to be a blog post listing a few ways in which they're thinking about addressing the gear swapping at the last second for magic find thing. I'm struggling to see a way they can do that without upsetting either side of the debate but it should be interesting.

I think this ring is pretty good. Any thoughts? Potential AH/RMAH value?
Edit: looking at the RMAH, it looks like I may be able to get ~$20 for it.
For the record, I actually sold this ring for $55. I'm pretty pumped.
