guys what do you think about this, how much could I get for it on both auction houses? It's hard to tell because at first glance it doesn't seem like much:
But you can't find anything near that until at least level 57/58, and look at the level requirement...let alone the socket and other bonuses. I don't know what to make of it, obviously can't find anything like it on the AH.

If you put it up for like $50 (max), I could see some struggling late nightmare/early-hell monk or barb jumping on it.
A lot of people won't be happy with their suddenly slow-as-hell crossbows either.
You still don't understand what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that there are no perfect items (yet) and most of your items will be from AH. Thus you have a certain budget and have to make decisions. Vit, resistances and armor all increase your efficient health pool. Your efficient health pool has to be high enough for monsters not to hit through force armor. It is strictly better to reach the number required by having high resistances and armor, especially since force armor also boosts your armor value by 60%. The fact healing effects and dskin are also better when your vit is lower is another fact in favor of this. If you stack all three, you will eventually want to switch to prismatic and then it's not a force armor build anymore.
I don't know about the price, but I think most people would want it as a leveling weapon. Not sure how valuable even that is, when you'd only need to level one of each class... In hardcore, it would be worth a lot more, I think.

fuuuuckk I seriously don't know what to think about it, lol. I don't want to put it for too low if it's something worth a lot. But I don't want to overprice it then have to wait the auction out. Any other opinions?
I sold 2 levelling weapons for 300-400k each a long time ago. You can try 500k+ now.
Has anyone here had luck finding the Dataminer ghost? Working on some easier achievements while watching the CEO tournament and not having any luck at all. I'm grinding it out on Inferno with GF/MF gear and I still can't really do Act 2 at all so it's at least getting me some okay money, but I've seen Developer Hell twice already now and no go at all on finding this one.
Before declaring that someone else wrong, you should do some homework first.

What you're describing is pre-nerf. Post-nerf, Force Armor will only result in you eating 35% of your HP in damage if the remaining damage is less than 100% of your HP. So in your example, having 30k HP will result in you taking 10.5k (35% of 30k) + 9.5k (50k - 10.5k -30k) = 19.5k damage. With 50k HP, you will take 17.5k (35% of 50k) + 0 (50k - 17.5k - 50k) = 17.5k damage.
That is how Force Armor works. So the higher your HP, the higher the mitigation. Only within very narrow damage ranges wil having lower HP actually result in Force Armor working better.

Inferno Belials second phase is my wall right now..and the sad thing is his third phase is easy mode for ranged so if i can just get there then I know I can beat him. And I've gotten his second phases health down so low. I imagine if I keep trying I will get lucky but it's a pretty annoying fight.

I 5 NV stack killed Izual about 4 hours ago, and only blues dropped. I was a sad hamster.
@HP vs Armor/Resists: Lower HP scales better with HP/second, Potions, and so-on. Getting hit for less per hit is a bit more ideal than more HP to go through in a perfect world. You still want a good balance, though, and higher base Mitigation means other things become better than Force Armor in the long run. Ideally, you'll be doing Force Armor until Prismatic is better overall for your damage reduction.
@Attack Speed change: It can be retroactive because it's merely changing a global affix value. All instances of Attack Speed increases are being reduced. Buffing Legendaries means that Damage Ranges, Attribute bonuses, etc. all need to get rerolled. That's a bit different than "12% becomes 6%."

Cool I put it on EU RMAH see if it sells lol
The basis of all your argument relies on your incorrect understanding of Force Armor. Force Armor will mitigate as much as 100% of your HP in damage so the higher your HP, the better Force Armor works. Read my response to Vodh above if you don't get what I'm saying.

Welp I almost met my match in Whimsyshire. Arcane Invulnerable Minion Waller Cuddle Bears. Killed them with 1 minute left on my 5 NV stacks.
Jesus christ, fuck Inv. Minions

What class are you?
That's because Izual is just another walkover trash mob and doesn't count as a boss!
That's what he is saying and he is right. It just doesn't seem to be a worthwhile approach to the ability. You walk a very thin line there, if you do it like that.

lol I got this item, don't think I've ever seen melee attackers taking 1000+ damage. Someone should try basing a whole build off of this stuff.
Don't think it's worth anything though

I started leveling a monk yesterday. I created him to fulfill only one purpose and reach level 30. Today that purpose is fulfilled.
Izual dropping jack shit is a time honored Diablo II tradition.

Well, I'm at 66k DPS Sharpshooter (and Steady Aim) buffed now (~31k unbuffed according to the character sheet). Act 2 should be mine to dominate. Still have a few kinda shitty items, but they'd be hard to replace. For example a level 36 ring, but it has 11% IAS, 50 Dex or so, and a Socket (pretty godly for the level). Trying to snag a Quiver on the AH with 10 Disc - just found an upgrade in the last run with 7 (replacing the one I had with 7). But the one I have my eye on in the AH is even better.
Also found an interesting amulet today with a socket, 69 dex, 21 physical resist, and 4% crit chance. It's better than what I have...but only when Sharpshooter isn't stacked up, as my current ammy has 33% increased crit damage. Kind of hard to figure out that one since the increased crit % would make sharpshooter proc slightly more often, but I'd be missing out on a significant chuck of damage each time.

33% reduction would've still had Attack Speed being a bit too good honestly.
I also imagine they might just make some Legendaries have 20%+ Attack Speed. :|
You are both saying the same.

I bought this for cheap-ish in the auction house with zero idea if I'd be able to flip it for more, probably should have checked before hand but, any ideas?:

All the rolls seem too low to be worth much.

The life regen is the only thing that has me second guessing. I'll probably just throw it up for 400/500K gold. Much more than what I paid

I don't know, I would try a million.

yeah I put it up for whatever high amount I can't remember, might as well try to milk it first.
No, it uses effective HP pool, not your HP. It first checks your resistances/armor and if that dmg is higher than your current HP max, it will ignore force armor.

I hope the AS nerf doesn't hit quivers.

print screen while playing, then go to documents > diablo 3 > screenshot
Then just snip it and up it.

It's a good gold farm item for sure. I'm sure someone will value it.
