Life on hit.So... what does LoH means?
I followed the two Diablo 3 Wiki's and they both said 7th. But if it works on the 6th, who cares!
Also is there a quest you need to complete before the guy can spawn? The wiki mentioned something like that, but had no links to the quest... I thought they just meant saving the guy when you meet him.
Ahhh, thanks!
Just checked RMAH out and was severely dissapointed that Blizzard do not understand the potential of micropayments. 1 € set fee per transaction will make RMAH a barren desert of uncompleted auctions because who the hell wants to pay 5€ for an item they might use a few hours before it is too low level and who the hell wants to sell something for less than 5€ if the transaction fee is 1€ minimum???
RMAH has been designed by incompetent developers with no knowledge of economics.

Why is this thread in community ?
Are you talking about the Alchemist? He will randomly spawn (It is pretty rare), and he gives some minor "Kill these things in front of me" quest when you talk to him before opening the cave.
Just to note, the Chest that has the rainbow spawn is supposedly also random.
Just wait till commodities goes live. Blizzard only makes $1 per sale for weapons, but the gold action is where the real money is at, 15% of every cent that flows though. The 15% paypal fee is really is a paypal fee, Blizzard doesn't get it.
But to be honest, they likely have a good amount of money locked up in Blizbucks.
People ARE buying items, and I don't see the downside of making ~4 profit for doing something that you enjoy.

It's been one month since the release of the game. All game OTs get moved at that point now.
Are you sure they don't take a cut from the paypal fee? Would be silly if not.
Diablo 3 thread sent harder to die than new 60's trying to sell act 1 gear on the AH.
amirite
I suggest you look at the microtransactions on iOS and Android. People are very willing to spend 5 (and much much more) for a small boost that may only last minutes.
Really, I have no clue.
Yep I'm upset too. If they allowed stuff to be sold at a minimum of $0.10 and they simply take 50% on purchases less than $1.00 then it would open up a whole market for mid-tier stuff before lvl 60 gear.
Of course they do. There'd be no reason for them to have an AH if they didn't.
I'm sure Blizzard and Paypal have something worked out.
Yep. And imagine when people buy items for hundreds of dollars it's almost like they get half of Diablo III purchase worth of dough with each transaction... it's insane.
some people are willing to spend 5, some people is usually less than 1% of users.
I would however guess that more people would spend 1 on an item they really wanted, more people like arount 10 % of users, 10% is a hellovalot more than 1 % and I think Blizzard is "losing" a lot of money (sales) due to this. The threshold to purchase an item is just too high if they set a superexpensive transaction fee on what should be micropayments.

There was no place on the AH for it even before the RMAH, sadly. If you can afford ilvl 63 drops from acts 3 or 4 you're not going to buy the lower level stuff from earlier acts.
When I first hit Act1/Act2 I could make some decent money on my good drops, a week later though the AH was stocked with stuff from people exploiting chests, ghosts, etc. in acts 3 and 4 and the prices on lower level stuff went through the floor.
That's a lot of numbers thrown around - the real number could be very different to that. Say the 10% value you suggest is actually only 2% then it would cause a very different outcome. Thought it may also be 50% - I'm sure Blizzard will adjust minimum values and AH cuts if they think they can make more money.
People selling at 1.25 still make money (granted a small proportion of the selling price) but that's still .25 more than if they sold it on the GAH or just vendored it. Until the RMAH value of gold settles it will be very difficult to ascertain how much value people put on their time.
Wizard builds are a little more varied than DH's, but DHs can decent DPS with poor gear and are very good at zerging elites.

Zerging elites sounds good, dh it is.
Well even if you can't i can still join a game after iskatu inferno.
So if anyone could be a doll and help a fellow out, please add my battletag (lain#2907).
I will be online the whole day.
Oh EU Btw. I just need to join a game After Iskatu on Inferno in order to buy the last recipe.
I'll give you a small donation as thanks for the help.
Don't really feel like I'm OP at this point, I'm still in act 1 inferno, but it's true that you don't really hear a lot about WDs (which is probably good)
I'm playing with this CC build (pets and stacking STR/armor/resists + chance to stun/freeze/fear/etc on every piece of armor) now and the game feels pretty broken when you do that, but I'm not sure it's viable in act2/act3, some WDs appear to be doing it but you need such specific gear, shit (don't think I'll be able to afford it to survive in act2...). I'm just glad I can do some act 1 farming without having to kite mobs with my blowdart...
If I wanted to kite stuff I would have rolled a DH or a wiz...
I used this guide. Liquid Rainbow took me a while, hated Chiltara the most though...
I wouldn't be surprised if they made a deal where paypal gets a bigger cut but has to deal with stolen credit cards and shit like that. Like blizzard gets the $1 per transaction without any risks.
Man, I can farm Act 1 Inferno with my Monk all day (with only the occasional blue/gold pack giving me trouble), but Act 2 destroys me pretty quick. Stupid bug spam and those mobs that are invulnerable when they jump
Think I'll just farm Act 1 until 1.03 comes out
Abosuletely on the same boat as you...and with you.
Found this in a normal chest, before going to work:
Time to dump it on one of the AH's before the Attack Speed nerf comes.
Edit: This is probably the first time I've ever found an amulet that even comes close to decent.
Edit2: Tried to check (RM)AH but can't seem to get a good feel, how much do you think it's worth?

I wish you were right but I just don't see any shred of hope for WDs in their current state. They need a pet buff desperately.

This guy was clearing A3 with 1.6m worth of gear earlier. He only really started dying at the end when he came up against mortar/jailer/vortex.
US AH went down. Hopefully not for long, since I've got stuff with bids that will end in a few hours ><
Was hoping for a last minute bid war lol.
Edit: Back up.
I made... 20k on the sale of 7 Perfect Square Topaz. I already had the gems, so if I had to buy those, I'd have made more like...5k, if that.
Notttt wortttthhh ittttt.

The only way to make them a little bit viable is gearing up like a barbarian (running around with a 1.1k armor shield) and at the same time trying to keep your dps up, + stacking some dex for dodge + stacking all resists off course, oh and you also need to make sure that you have atleast more than 4.7% chance to proc a CC effect on every piece of armor. Oh and good life regen to maybe keep them alive during a fight against trash.
If you do that you can farm act 1 inferno!
Words on the street is that they are going to have Vit make an impact, but HP won't do shit, they need resists/armor. The only way to do that atm is to gear up like you're playing all classes in one, heck I've got 6k dps left. (this is in act 1, I was around 13k in hell, had to drop a lot of INT)
While a DH can just come in with his hell gear, upgrade his bow and destroy shit.
If any other WDs are around here I'd love to hear what you guys are doing, I used to play the kite build but elites in inferno are a complete hit and miss and take 20mins to kill... My old build, also the build most WDs are using atm I think...

Every ranged class kites in Inferno past Act 1. It isn't a witch doctor issue. Even if the pets could take the hits you'd still have to kite because there is no Aggro manipulation in this game and mobs always split off the tanks and go for the back line.
The demon hunter and wizard I group with regularly both die more often than I do.
What I like best is grouping with a super-tanky Monk who has the player version of Vortex. I just stand about 10 feet behind him and unload on the stack of mobs he builds. Anything comes for me he just stacks them again. His damage is non-existent but since I don't have to interrupt my DPS with merely surviving I hit my max easily and all of my AoEs hit every mob in the fight.

Can someone from eu help me kill belial inferno? I suck and i can't solo him on my dh
Get 3500 armor/350 resists and weapon which makes 50-60k critical hits and you can do it.
I did it yesterday (still with 190% GF in my gear
)This is what I've been doing -> http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5594214282
A lot of theorycrafting in there, but it works, atleast in act 1 it does, doesn't mean a lot I know but it's cool to play with the pets again after having to shelve them since act 1 Nightmare...

I used the gargantuan up to Act 1 of Inferno. He worked fine in Hell as long as I was geared properly.
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+.
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).
12 hours left!
