Yeah, but that's why I specified that it's easy with a million gold budget. 10x what this guy spent should be enough.

That was amazing for a glass canon DH, but the guy is highly skilled. It's doable for anyone, but it won't be easy.
I really doubt that too... 1m won't get you anything close to 10x his gears. (We all know prices don't behave that way)
What I'm trying to say is that a lot of knowledge, skills and patience are required to do something like that... and a class that can pull it together, I really don't see a barb, WD or a monk doing that stuff. (Haven't play a monk, I know their gears are kinda cheap, but as a melee, I see it very difficult)
There are many 500k - 1m gold challenges out there for Barbs and Monks in video form. Its much easier to do as a melee than it is as a ranged like a DH. Beating Inferno was tough on my DH, I cruised through it on my Barb, especially post nerf.
Man... I'm completely out of touch with this game.

You gotta have the patience if you're playing a budget build though. And also switching skills for different types of mobs. NV should be the least of your concern. You're progressing not farming. 
446k Budget Barb full inferno clear.

Every piece of gear, and merc gear was bought from AH for a total of 446K gold. Inferno cleared with every single champion, unique, and rare pack killed.
He also has individual videos going over each item he bought and how much he paid for it.

But again, if you watch this guide, notice that he was building strictly for progression, not farming. He doesnt skip any packs at all, kills every single one, but he kites when needed and will switch skills and lose stacks if neccessary in order to progress. Its not not about the drops, its only about progressing in those low gold challenges.
When it comes to farming though its much more expensive because speed is a factor, noone wants to farm that slowly.

Yep, Farming and Progression are two totally different things.

picked up this 656 dps hand crossbow for my demon hunter on the AH. pretty much will make hell a breeze. any idea how much this will go for?
I guess I can join the club of troll legendaries:
I also got this one:
This game is mean to me
Yeah, yeah it's possible... painfully slow, but possible.

The pets work fine up to act 2 inferno, Blizzard just forgot to explain players that they basically need to gear up like a tank and stack chance to CC on proc gear, if you have a lot of armor, resists, tons of chance to CC, some STR and a bit of DEX they work great for semi-afk facerolling act 1
If you`re gearing only INT-VIT (what the majority of players has been doing) and wizard/caster gear they die miserably, this already starts in Nightmare...
Managed to take down Belial with my WD yesterday, can also farm act 2 with her now, 1000LOH is a huge help...
What setups did you use pre inferno? I'm just using darts/dogs/grasp and Bats or Haunt and its just the exact same thing over and over, and lacks the wild effects and punishing physics reactions of other classes. Except of course when something big comes along and one shots my dogs. Please tell me I'm doing it wrong
First build was someting like darts, grasp, dogs and gargantuan. When that did not work anymore I switched to VQ+bears build.
Not such a big fan myself of those bears VQ builds but they are effective, and cheap for that damage output. I don`t like waiting for Spirit Walk cooldown to take on a next pack of mobs...
I lucked out on the AH last week but didn`t even realise it at first, till I started looking for an upgrade weapon for it.
755dmg ceremonial knife
9 mana regen
142int
43%critdamage
853LOH
for 150k...
That`s the reason I`m now able to farm Act2 with a non bears build.
That is super nice. Considering that I beat diablo on a 665 dmg + 930 loh weapon.

If he makes it a glass cannon it should be possible
Getting to like 100k dps and still having resists and armor and vitality is completly diffrent.

33 Mill isn't enough? MY GOD, this game is nuts...

I think that is what I want to do, I've learned that even though I have armor/resits/vit, I still die, so why not just go full glass cannon?!
As of now, I have 50K+ dps without SS, just 50K more to go :>

You need at least 10k more hp. Swap those gems

33m for 100k damage is more than enough.
If he went to a glass canon DH that is.
But if Natayla Build, then he needs hundreds of millions
This looks really useful, thanks very much. I'll check it out when I get home after work tonight.

Just got this . Any ideas whether to sell on on rmah or GAH?
This can be a 250% crit dmg weapons alone.
250$
Yeah, here -> http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6036113827
It`s for a VQ/bears build though, I followed that guide to get out of act 1, was stuck there for quite some time... It`s also good general advise on what stats you need to look out for on armor etc. But just following that guide also works (buildwise)

Is anyone else finding more legendaries lately? I feel like the drop rate was bumped or something. Over the course of the weekend I found 5 and I wasn't even really playing that much. They all sucked, I just got them more often.

Something like 200 odd hours of play, none found. So no.
Thanks for the advice! i can finally farm the vault of assassings now i didn't know that a mere 10k hp more would help me stay alive so much.

Of the 5 I found, I had 2 Skorns and one Messerschmidt's Cleave or something like that. Horrible, horrible two-handed axes.Something like 200 odd hours of play, none found. So no.

I found an Ivory Tower. It's a legendary shield. I look it's stats :
20% block chance, 27 all res 1000 armor, 116 life per seconds, 1800/2800 damage block, 11% vit, 4% damage reduced from melee, 1.5% chance to freeze on it
I yelled " I'm rich ! "
I check the AH and RMHA...
" I'm still poor... "

I did this with both this shield and an Andriels Visasge this weekend.
Tried to bid war that shit but I was at work, so I couldn't fight the war haha. Gotta look for bids that'll end late tonight.

I bough myself full set of Natalya gear - it makes a day and night difference when it comes to survivability (spamming shadow power with gloom all the time).

Damn I found a quiver that raises my DPS from 65K to 68K (no sharpshooter) but it didn't have any max discipline. So damn close.

Nope - you have to buy gems and tomes from trade chat/forums to even make some profit.
I make a 100k or so off each emerald gem. I think it was the highest gem that you can make before needing plans. Of course I had the mats and enough radiant square gems to make them. Prices might have dropped now though. I think they were selling for about 730k? Maybe..
Not true. I used to make 120-200k+ profit on each gem and averaged over 1M profit an hour. Of course, I used about 20M+ gold and bought everything off the AH. You just need to stock up on tomes and gems at their low price point during the day. On the rare occasion, I got to sell my gems through the chat channel and made over 800k on a single gem.
I've posted about my profits before, with proof. You just need to keep checking the auction house and get a good read on what you'll be spending vs what you'll be making and if it's worth the time.
I started off with low quality gems and slowly moved up to 90% crit emeralds (forgot their names as I haven't really bothered with the game in quite a while). I've made hundreds of millions off gems. But it took some time and bored me to death. I used a mouse clicker and either worked, watched a movie or read while I made the gems. It's a long boring process, but much faster than farming... so...

I added up the material values on the EU servers and once blizzard have taken their 15% cut you basically make nothing. I'm sure it was profitable once, but it doesn't seem to be now.
That said, it seems to be about 15% cheaper to make them yourself than buy them in the AH... which I guess makes sense because of the afore mentioned cut.

I made calculations dozens of time - it never was profitable (sometimes you could make like 5-10k on 1800k investment) to make flawless star emeralds on EU server if you used AH both for buying and selling gems.
What gems were you buying? Also it might be different on EU.
