I'm still baffled at Blizzard making 99% of legendaries and set items terrible.

:|

The way they went about that was pretty dumb. I understand the rationale behind not wanting every legendary to be the best item of it's kind and rares still rolling higher, but they made 90% of them so useless and especially uninteresting (no really cool and different abilities, no really useful stats for sets) that it kinda baffles me how no one in the team realized people would be frustrated by them. The way they said: "OK, we'll buff them in the future" pretty quickly makes me think the worst, as if they needed some time to rework them and balance them (some even launched broken) and they just said, fuck it, we'll nerf them to be safe, then work on them for a further patch. A lot about the game feels that way (AH included).

How much are you going to get for your stuff? If I sold all my sword and board gear I'd probably end up with around 50-60 million but I'm not sure if I want to let go of the gear I have atm.

I spent around 30,000,000 on it, so I hope to get at least 25,000,000 or so.

I may try putting my 29% block rating Stormshield up on the RMAH, though.

Fellow Barbs, can someone help me with some starting stats for Act II Inferno?

Right now, I'm at about 34k HP, 8400 Armor (with shout), about 400 all resists, and 10.5k DPS.

I get melted in Act II, but not sure what kind of stats I should be aiming for before I try again.

if you add about 200 resists and 8-10k hp you should be good. more dps will help too. i'm currently able to solo most of act 2 with 43k hp, 8.8k armor, 600all resists and 10.4k dps (after maniac kicks in)

First one: nothing.
Second one: 100kish. Possibly more because of mf.

edit: Oops, thought the second one had vit. Probably nothing much but there are several other stats that someone might want, so it might go for 50kish or so.

Wrong. First one is alright, not great. Shackle Trial is worth a lot more than 50 or 100k though.

Also got this myself today during a Skeleton King run:

Pretty good if I say so myself.

Giveaway #2 (North American servers only!)

No tricks, no smoke, no mirrors. These are some decent weapons for fresh 60's, or Act 1 Inferno 60's that I'm donating because I have no use for them, and I'm sure gaffers would make better use of it than letting it rot in my stash. All of these items dropped from Act 3 Inferno+. :p

You can choose one item, and after time has expired, I will roll for each item. Meaning six people are getting new items! The more people who want a weapon, the less chance you'll have less of getting it.

All you need to do is PM your GAF name and battletag and the item you want and you'll be entered.

All winners will get a free Exalted Pallium Shoulders recipe, free of charge, courtesy of Artanisix

The raffle will end 5PM Mountain Time on June 15th (Friday).

One day left fellas!

Pretty much my evening so far.

Need more resists, and HP. 40k HP and 800 all resists.. around that. with 10.5k DPS should be fine.

Same deal here. Sales from yesterday cleared. No new ones today (unless you count the boots I put up that are still mired at a bid of $15).

Having paid 1m for them, I consider this a success. They should go for a bit more though.

I don't even

I'm unashamed to say that I own a few A&F things I got on sale for like $5 each. Their cologne keeps me coming back (so good).

The two names in concert though...rofl.
 
For people who use caltrops, what rune do you use with it? I know it's good, but I'd be more inclined to use it if it were placeable like spike trap.

I may have to try and test my slowing build in Inferno (which incidentally, doesn't include caltrops.)

And in terms of class power, I think Wizards are probably overall the strongest. DPS on par (or only slightly below) Demon Hunters, but with a bit more tank (or at least the option to have more tank.) Melee is also a viable (decent-good) build, where I'd say it's more fringe for a DH - probably not viable on Inferno at all.

Witch Doctor may be the dark horse of them all - I've seen reports that it's been good, but I don't think enough people play them for the true power to really out itself (I haven't played one since the beta). If anything is OP at this point, it's probably WDs, and we just haven't realized it yet.

I found an offhand to go with yesterday's main, can/do some monks dual-wield daggers likes this? Oh, and yeah, I put a LoH gem in the main one after everybody said to, just to make it look better on the AH.

So I sold $77 worth of shit. Bought a chest piece for $11 in battle.net monies.

How long does it take to get the item ..... ? It isn't instant.

Torturous ground. That two second immobilize is invaluable. I use it heavily with spike trap/scatter especially in narrow paths.

Are any Gaffers playing D3 as a full-time job through RMAH yet? Just curious.

I'm probably at minimum wage, if you count all the hours I've been sitting at my computer since the RMAH came out and then divide by how much I've made.

If you go by how many hours I've played total...not even close to minimum wage.


Is bidding going on on the RMAH or is mostly just buyouts?

Bidding occurs on items that are really underpriced. People hope to get stuff for cheap.

For instance, someone bid $15 on these:

Buyout $50. It hasn't budged since that bid came in, so I'm fairly sure I'm going to get $15 for them lol.

Oh, and I finally killed Belial on Inferno. For some reason rounds 1 and 2 were much, much easier than the last time I tried it. Round 3 is simple once you know the tells/pattern.

Yeah I guess I'm wrong if there's a sudden rush in demand for those kinds of bracers and the bracers on the ah with similar stats that are going for <50k all sell out.

One on the right has a lot of desirable stats, but the values are all really low and no vit.
 
Any Barbs been using the Survivability spreadsheet?


I'm interested in comparing stats. It's easy to talk about what you see in your details screen, but that's not really the whole picture.

I've circled the important numbers, everything else is mostly kind of irrelevant.

xm5ks.jpg


Interested in seeing what kind of stats other Act 3 tank barbs are going around with. It's really hard to find upgrades anymore, seems like I'm looking at a minimum of 6-8m per slot to upgrade anything now.

Note that the cells shaded in light blue are BEFORE all buffs except Enchantress. But again, the only numbers that are important are really the ones I've circled.

Anyway, if anyone feels like downloading the spreadsheet and punching in your own numbers, post back the results for comparison.

Well boys, it finally happened! I sold some CRAP boots I crafted with nightmare materials for 20 bucks. The first day I put up genuinely good items for modest prices, nothing sold, then I decided to try the other approach, and it worked :/
 
For those with the staff, how long did it take the Alchemist to spawn?

I got the mushroom and the shinbone in like 5 minutes each. Been at this for about half an hour and I haven't seen him yet

It took me 45 minutes to get him to spawn the first time, but I went through both levels of the zone and there was no mysterious chest.

It took another 45 minutes for him to appear again, and I got the liquid rainbow from the chest on the second attempt.

8 tries minimum to get the guy to spawn. Then when I went into the cave the rainbow wasn't there. Cue in 14 additional tries to get the guy again to have a chance at the cave again. Thank god it was there the 2nd time.

The Chatter Gem also takes a shit long time to spawn because first you have to make sure the right map/cave spawns to have a chance at finding the rare enemy that drops the gem which may or may not spawn. Both took several hours to find.

I did this today. Mushroom may have taken me the longest over time as I've more casually searched for it before. Took maybe 20 minutes today. Gibbering Gemstone took me probably closer to 40 minutes or so. I had to reload this one the most - probably took about 10 shots to get it. Note that I was looking in Normal (difficulty doesn't matter) with my level 60 Demon Hunter with the double Vault rune. So I could clear distance really fast, one-shotting any mobs. The Alchemist/Liquid Rainbow I got on my second load of the area. Mysterious Cave/Alchemist appeared in the first one, but the chest wasn't there. Got it pretty quickly the second time though.
