The key stats are:
42% crit
291% crit dmg
1922 LoH (from 2 weapons + amulet + ring - super cheap he has low dps weapons with high LoH, blue amulet, and bul-kathos wedding band which is one of the cheapest legendaries I've seen)
400 resis
Everything should be relatively cheap though and if you have good pieces already it'll be even cheaper to piece together. The biggest thing is crit% imo. You start at 5% and then get another 15% from passives (using axe/mace + the 5/50 passive) which puts you at 20%. You basically have to get at least 20% more from gear (gloves, amulet, rings, bracers, helm) which can be either cheap or expensive depending on how you go about it.

I like it because there are no ranged mobs. Everything seems to die pretty quick, but i don't farm it on my own and our group has gotten pretty good at clearing everything. The only stuff that takes a while is the elites, which are trivial when they're ponies. We just skip the bad flower/bear packs by parking them in empty areas though...mostly just doing it to clear it out and then open all the clouds with 5 stacks + mf gear on. doing it with total of 306mf gets me a lot of stuff
I haven't even gotten to act 3 on inferno yet though, we've basically just been doing pony runs for days now. I was in act 2 when we started.

Yeah just watched the link for his gear and it blew my mind. My barbs current gear cost well over 30 million to put together. His appears to be drastically cheaper and looks way more fun to play. Definitely going to mess around with it and start picking up some pieces.

I'm looking for a Act 2-3 farming group on NA server.
Barb - can't speak much for dmg but I can tank.
Have 200mf gear on switch.

Have 200mf gear on switch.
so uh.. is anyone getting less gold since the server went back up? I was farming for an hour or so before it went down (Act 1 Inf.) and I'd routinely get between 300-1600g piles (Dank Cellar/Well/mobs around it) and now I'm seeing ............16g-350g piles mostly.... which is really sad considering I'm at 218% GF without NV stacks.
This is pretty much how I feel. Once I sell off the rest of my stuff, I'm probably done until the expansion.

How much is + experience per kill gear worth it for alts? It's very cheap so I bought some for my level 28 WD, but it seems like a pretty small bonus to leveling speed.

It's actually a pretty decent bonus. Say you have 100 exp / kill. Now think of how many tens of thousands of enemies you kill between 1 and 60. It makes the biggest difference at low levels
Pretty small. You'd need it on all your gear to actually kind of notice. EXP scales up and that stat doesn't seem to keep up at all.
Just rock a nice ruby in your hat.

Yeah i was checking and monsters in act 2 hell give 1-2k exp each so unless you have this on each item it's minimal bump.
I know, i've just been needing armor and resists is all and this fits that bill.
I noticed it big time in Normal difficulty.
I'm in Nightmare Act2 Lv42 and it's slowed down for me but I'm only half way through Act2 so I think I'm overleveled for sure.
I'm level 46 in Act3 Nightmare, is that overlevelled? Because that doesn't usually happen to me in Diablo games (or any other RPG for that matter).
Sounds pretty normal, start of Hell = lvl 50 so you're right on track. Maybe even a lvl or two short.
No.
Main stat + IAS is the least rare combo out there, and 15 poison resistance adds nothing. Edit: Check to make sure the level (54) doesn't modify this advice. I don't think it does though.
The second one is a 2 hander with 750 DPS. That's an automatic no.
Third one is a low armor shield with terrible block.

Is the damage on this too low to sell?
My first decent LoH weapon
My first decent LoH weapon
Filter the AH by 1 hand LOH/550, and then 79 dex/89 vit, and see if anything there is selling.
Everything is likely to be higher DPS, so make the max buyout like 50000 gold (or 5 bucks), and see if yours is comparable/better.

I really hope they don't increase the repair costs by as much as they said they're going to. It really only needs to be doubled.
Especially when they keep nerfing gold drops.
I just did my normal Act 1 run after reading the stealth nerf thing and the "spikiness" of gold is gone for sure, I use to get up to ~2000 sometimes and a lot over ~1000 and just now my largest was just 1400. The average per drop seems to have gone up though from 1-400 to now and I tended to get 130-280 per drop. Also think the barrels are no longer dropping as much gold.
All evidence from one run so you know it's mathematically sound and one hundred percent proof of a change. (lol)

It's...not that good
Might put it aside and run a giveaway if anyone cares. It seems ok for a Monk who just hit 60

If somebody doesn't have a good main with LoH a weapon like that is a decent fallback when facing elites with Reflect Damage. My default loadout only has 150 LoH(from my amulet) so I have to switch to a backup LoH weapon with considerably less DPS than my main so that I don't kill myself faster than I kill the elite.
That said, don't expect more than 50-100k.
It only takes 2-3 days for some transactions. They seem to randomly hold some for review and those have been taking a day or two. Then again I had one that closed last night, was held for review, but cleared by the time I got up this morning.
Yes, if you have an auth on your account you use it for the bnet website too.
They all do, don't they? All mine have been.
I'm rerolling DH, lost interest in my wizard
GAF, which is currently the fastest way to lvlup to 60?
I've been away for a while, I'm not updated with the current state of the game.
Belial is the new best way it seems.

i sold about $75-100 of stuff yesterday within a couple hours of the AH going live in the morning and that money went from processed to sold by last night, except one which went to sold this morning, so i think the 72 hours time frame is just the max part of the range. You'll prob get it within a day. I then bought some cheap stuff on the rmah with the funds, stuff that was way underpriced.
What? No. They have gold costs to create.
My sales all started as "processing" and ended with me getting the money 24 hours later.

lol nah you couldn't
the radiant star gem (the highest tier) costs like 10-15 million to make, i forget
well unless you can farm that much in 2-3 hours
And you need the recipes and for the highest tier ones they are a couple million as well

Wtf, just went to login and the game told me that my account was locked due to changes in my login pattern or some shit like that? I had to answer my secret question and then it logged in just fine. I do have an authenticator and so far both my d3 account and wow account look fine. Has this happened to anyone else? o.0

I find this interesting since I'm building a Life-stealing/life on hit/life regen duel wielding barb.
If you can manage with 1922 Life on hit, wouldn't 12% life steal accomplish this just as well or even better (if you got plenty of dps and lots of critting)?
ATM I got:
34K Life
6K Armor (with 1 passive and warcry)
700 Resist (with warcry)
~20k Dps (using battle shout and the passive which gives you 25% dmg at max rage)
1200 LOH
1400 Life Regen
~3% lifesteal (working on this one)
Haven't invested in crit stats yet since I'm not really sure what I should be going for now, everything that doesn't cost millions just seem to be sidegrades.
Nice Vit, Mana, Int, but low DPS.
If someone sorted by Vit and Int and didn't know better, I guess they might buy it.
Edit: As always, this information comes with the disclaimer "check the AH first before doing anything"
Yep.
Never underestimate how quick people will snap up underpowered stuff due to too specific of a search. If someone wants that combination of stats and it's the only one reasonably priced, they might drop a lot more than it's worth.
