Amen to that. Will be nice when they get around to doing something about the extremely anemic number of people in Inferno public games. Thats a huge reason why I dont find it fun playing anymore. Solo farming is fucking boring.

Lately I've found games have had less people, but there was a long time there where inferno games were pretty full. It was the games before inferno that would rarely ever fill up at all.
And yeah farming solo sucks. Not only is it boring, but if you fuck up or if you get an arcane landed right on you while you're jailed or something? Oops, hope you like walking all the way back and retrying the entire fight, because they're going to be completely healed again! Every time that happens I just want to leave the game and say fuck it... Farming with at least one other person is great. If you can get a whole group of 4 that works well together it's much much better.
What class are you? Maybe you could join us sometime. Feel free to add me: RDreamer$1621
You're putting more thought into this than the developers did.
edit:
I remember never getting heaven hands. Then one night, I got 3. And they were all under 600dps. Nearly choked on bile.

It's even more puzzling since you don't even really need to work to get to Diablo if you just bum a waypoint off of someone else. (something I've done many a time, hehehe)

Addiction factor? I know that's what keeping me locked in. This game is pretty laughably poor compared to the first two iterations - yet here I am.
I think you misread his post. Besides, we like giving the green fella a hard time.

I got 2 items almost identical in rolls like 5 seconds after each other. Here is 1 of them, crazyy:
Replace horde with shielding and molten with arcane sentry.
Also why is waller so ridiculously stupid now? More often than not it instantly boxes in my Barb and I can't do anything.
There is definitely something bugged with the rng and drops imo. Earlier this week I had 2 rare shields with exactly the same stats drop and then the exact 2hd bow drop with the same stats as well. The matching pair dropped within 2 minutes of each other. I could understand if they were sets or maybe even legendaries, but these were rare items with exactly the same stats with at least 6 different properties. They werent similar in stats, but every number and property was the same.
Bows/Xbows seem to have a much higher drop rate than any other weapon for me. I know it is random and it will be streaky, but Ive had over 50 Helion and 40 Revenant Bows drop and not one Veil Piercer so far this week. I dont mind it as much as because so many want Bows/Xbows, but as a WD I would like to see more ceremonial knives dropping. Even looking at the market, the market is flooded with all kinds of high end bows/xbows and not many ceremonial knives. Who knows maybe it was lottery luck with the same items, horrible luck with WD weapons and this week things will change. The drop system could be more like D2 than they are letting on though. Certain bosses were more likely to drop certain items and they carried this over to D3. Since Ive been running the same areas, Im seeing the similar drops more often.
I haven't gotten a truly great roll yet. I'm hoping when I do, it'll be a glitched RNG drop that gives me two of them :lol
WoW, just found a pair of legendary legs that I think might actually be worth a bit.
Seems quite good if you're into mf and gf, no?
fuck man, i'd use those, i'd lose a bunch of all resist but gain so much str it almost wouldn't matter LOL
Your worst nightmare
Replace Nightmarish and Molten with Invunerable Minions and Fast.
Hell, just Horde with Invunerable Minions alone is enough to make me shit my pants.

Ya know, I used to hate invulnerable packs. Then I went back to my barb and started using the whirlwind build. Now, whenever I see the invulnerable affix, I just laugh, pop wrath of the berserker and kill the pack in about 10 seconds flat.
I'm gonna miss that build once blizzard decides it's too fun and good to be in their game...
Yeah, well i'm talking about from the perspective of a demon hunter/wizard. Sure, I can shoot through the minions with nether tentacles, but kiting that many minions for that long is a serious pain in the ass.
So I got into Act III and got tired of soloing in NM (and the BS fake challenges when bal was piss easy). I hit public and I can only select the quest to unlock that dudes chamber so we can get the black soulstone, what gives? I want to do act III.
**SO I get 30 FPS in SP and in multi I get 2 FPS.
I am done with this game...honestly...it gives more grief than pleasure. If the game had actual challenge and better..reward..and maybe not so weird performance..it be pleasurable..but right now it just trolls and causes more grief.

Remember the part about me hating them before I switched to the barb? I was a DH before I started using my barb again
You should use ball lightning rune instead of nether tentacle btw, should be better after the nerf to nether tentacle, unless you're using it for the life leech.

Surprised you leveled more than one toon. I can't bring myself to play another character let alone the game (besides AH). At least I have learned my lesson from hyping a game with rabid anticipation.
First Character - Witch Doctor - Time to level 43 - 40 hours.
Second Character - Barbarian - Time to Level 43 - 16 hours.
Guess which one was more fun?
barb
because they're better
Since I can't solo and I seem to not be getting any drops that are useful (even at my meaningless lvl) in NM lvl 42, what can I do? Go farm Bal? Or any main boss since they are all piss easy..? Or what do I buy on AH (ugh I do not want to result to buying on a AH so I can progress..what cheese)
You should be able to solo fine... what class? build? Especially NM at 42..
5 stack farm NM with your wizard :lol

Can someone hook me up with with a LOH 1hand axe/mace?
I will pay handsomely (lol w/e I've got).

Man, I really suck at gearing myself. I don't understand how everyone's getting 30k DPS while I barely hit 15k.
I have a DH (15k) and Wizard (13k) both at level 60 doing such pitiful damage.
Even if I go complete glass cannon build, my dps only goes up by a few thousand which isn't nearly good enough because I die way too easily.

I try to get all of those (except IAS) without sacrificing too much raw damage. Maybe I'm not spending enough money.

You're always going to die easily in Inferno. As a DH, your survivability is going to be derived more from your kiting abilities than it will be from your vitality. You probably have way too much vitality.

Yeah just get ias, crit%, critdmg for big boosters and obviously a LOT of the primary stat.
You hafta know which items can hold how much of which stat and try to get little bits at a time.
If this can help you-

I'm trying not to blow all my money on gear with bad stats before I know what's good or bad.

Try this. I've been using it to figure out what upgrades to get. Between the DPS spreadsheet and the EHP calculator I always have a good idea of how much of an upgrade something will be and if it's worth it or not for me to spend my cash on it.
Most likely. Or you could get lucky and stumble across an update (good luck).

Thanks for the let-know, really appreciate it.
But it looks like I won't be needing one anymore though because somehow I just won this auction below.
At 5,250,000!
However, this is where my story becomes strange.
-Long boring AH glitch story about how I got a good price-
I was watching many auctions. There was one weapon I tried for before this one.
I placed 7,100,000 at the item maybe less than 5 seconds before closure (I keep track), and it said the bid was successful.
The bid ended up on this weapon, for which the current bid was at 5m. Now it said I was winning with my 7.1m.
In confusion, I waited until this one was due, tried to bid, but it said I would bid 5,250,000. It denied me.
I thought I'd lost the bid because I knew there were couple other people trying for this.
I got the winning notification. I won.
Now, look at this:
Isn't this strange? I know for sure I paid 5.25m, and the system refunded me the difference of 1.85m.
I really feel like somehow others couldn't bet because of me, and I ended up winning it.

Finally got past Ghom. I was able to face tank him while the barb in the party was doing laps. If blizzard nerfs CM builds, i'm out. I probably died to him about 15 times before I managed to get the permafrost--nova rhythm down.
Was happy to get through, though. Not sure which animated gif to use:
Every time I died:
Also, invincible minions is the worst affix, and the cold cave charging bulls is some grade A baloney.

I wouldn't sweat it. If you buy the best gear the odds are pretty good Blizzard will nerf whatever the core stat is.
Lol that barb is terrible. Barb can kill ghom with shitty gear just using the broken skill overpower and any amount of LoH
