Diablo III |OT5| Finally out of Beta

Just pick a class that appeals to you in terms of style. Monks are in an arguably bad spot now, but even with a monk you'll have a good time until you start grinding your teeth at your inability to fight through Monster Power X. Just keep in mind, that except for those wearing several hundred million worth of gear nobody is going to be doing MP10 and even they will just settle for sth between MP3-4 just because it will be more efficient.
MP3 certainly feels like 1.04 difficulty in a3, maybe a little bit harder? Mobs might have a bit more HP but that's about it.
Bitching in general chat is pretty funny, did people really expect to be steamrolling MP10 day one... Seriously, some people.
Also "how do I enable mp?" :lol
thanks. Looking forward to getting back into this game. I'm half way through Act 2 inferno.
I can handle MP3 pretty well, got my first three keys, and one crappy legendary. It's so awesome to see that they're dropping at a decent rate finally. I'm glad I still had 20m in the bank, and somehow sold some crap bracers last night for 3m... should be able to outfit my DH on the cheap soon.
The Act 3 warden is a nightmare for barbs though. We basically are forced to change our skills to throw weapon / leap / sprint, etc every time we want a new key. Big thanks to BigBlue for helping with that guy and the Act 4 warden.

MP3 is a bit harder in some areas than 1.0.4 but easier in others. Kind of depends on what changes they did to your class IMO.
MP0 is ridiculously easy. Haven't tried MP1 but it shoudl be a breeze.

Agreed! I was happy to get a key to drop from him the first time on MP5 though he was at the absolute end of the area so that sucked. Wound up getting another key as well when I was helping out a fellow GAF member with that boss.
Really liking all the changes so far.

Bah, you still didn't get your plans though right? We ran that 3 or 4 times too. I'll help you out whenever I'm online tonight. Same thing happened this morning. I was running act 1 on MP5 and 4 times through and no key.
Ouch, really? Got my Act 1&2 keys first try on MP3. Still no plan, but I sure am glad you only have to get that once.

Well I have one of every key, but I'm thinking we'll need to run it a few times anyhow before we get all the parts for the ring so why not get some extras.
After I have the ring, still gotta figure out where to start farming!
About to get on, what's up with DH pets now? Are the ones that will tank for you now actually useful at all in that regard? Wondering if taking the Boar for tank plus the health regen and 15% all resist is actually worthwhile over the Bat or the Ferret. My all resist is pretty crap so I don't think that will make much of a difference, but I think I'm unusual in that I usually roll with the Paladin since enemies like to aggro on him, and I'm wondering if I could maybe take the Boar instead and roll with the Scoundrel instead.
According to the patch notes they moved it from the Northern Highlands to the Southern Highlands.

Oh. Well, never mind then...
Probably more keys again since the first ring you craft is probably going to be terrible.
Can't wait for that HF ring with 500 damage to attackers, 32 cold resist, health globes add 2000, and adds 10-15 damage.Fenderputty

With 80k base DPS my monk can do MP5 just fine. I can take gobs solo as well. However, mp5 was not good exp/hour for me at all. I'll have to test several different difficulties today, but I think mp3-4 will be the most efficient for me. Key farming will still be mp5+ though.
Also, "reflect damage" and "extra health" are my least favorite elite / champ affixes now. By far.

Likewise.
Nope.

Just have to get it once. I actually have a spare, but it's account bound so I can't even give it away.
I was using the boar and he works decently. Sometimes the enemy will pay attention to him so I can lay out some more damage and the addition to resists is nice too. I'm also running perfectionist which I think was an outstanding change and makes me feel a lot more tanky even as a DH.
played for a couple hours last night, my WD seemed way more powerful, but i'd guess that's some sort of nerf to inferno?
a couple questions:
do the key dropping enemies always spawn in their respective areas? (i did 2 sweeps through fields of misery, one with no mp and 5 stacks, one with mp1 and 5 stacks and never encountered it)
is there any way to matchmake with randoms using mp? i noticed it said you weren't allowed to open game to public when i launched the game with mp1, and the couple games i joined were just vanilla inferno. if this is the case they reaaaaally need to put lobbies back in so i can join a game with mp at my discretion and not have to find "friends" to do it. that and i want to roll with 4 WDs

Finally got the act 2 key. I wasted a good 15 mins looking for that key warden! I can do MP5 fine but it's really not that efficient for me. Some combos now like reflect/molten require me to throw on a shield real quick. Thinking MP3 is where it's at for me when it comes to efficiency.
It's because that item is used a lot by Demon Hunters, it's not that valuable to a Wiz or a WD!

This surprises you?

It's as much valuable for any Wiz with no canalisation build.
Or any monk.
But my monk suffer from the insane DH price inflation.

Reflect / Horde is stupid. All the enemies surround you and your health just falls. It's funny because I can walk around MP 5 and cut things down pretty well. Most packs go down pretty easy. Then all of a sudden I run into a pack that just shreds through my life. Always reflect damage. I haven't had to kite elites for a while.
I need to get more LOH pretty bad and I only have 80K DPS. I'm not even that efficient at MP5. So it's clear I need more DPS as well. Which means an ever increasing need for more LOH.
I would have thought my gear was pretty good too. 700 RES ALL, 4600 ARMOR, 750 LOH (2APS) and a native 46% dodge. I'm running resolves again too.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/neoism-1506/hero/1516357 well spent about 5 million the past few days... and can do MP2 and 3 but I die too much.... I lucked up and got my amulet in the 70+ runs I've done...anyone have an idea what its worth... I'm the unluckiest player ever... 260h 0 sets 5 shitty legs...:/ I really want to love this game but it trolls me hard...Anyone have any fist weapons like mine but with at least 500loh....I can give a few mill no more than 3... everything on the AH for an upgrade is just too fucking expensive.
this has to be the best item I've ever gotten though...
the find similar item thing in the game went to shit that was 40+mill.... I died. not sure what I could get for it.

Really noticing the damage with my Monk. Even in MP2
Think I'll settle on 2 or 3. I can melt packs pretty quickly in 2 and 3 isn't that much worse. In 4 I've gotta run around in circles waiting on cooldowns since I can't be in enemies faces anymore. 5 Is only doable in a group. Thinking about investing in a shield
Haul for today was
Blackthorne belt = not worth anything
Puss Spitter = sold to vendor
Some legendary 2h mighty weapon = vendor
63 Voodoo Mask = put it up for 1m

I'm generally running MP3 to farm keys, if people want to join me ( Talaysen#1383 ).
For some reason I found the Act 2 keywarden way harder than the Act 3 keywarden. When it starts spinning my health drops rapidly and usually I just die, even with Diamond Skin up. If I teleport out, I just get wrecked by the mortar projectiles instead, which isn't much better.
Also, I haven't seen a legendary since patch. I thought they were supposed to be dropping a lot! Found some solid rares though.
That and helms go up to 300 int.
I'm pretty sure the A2 warden is meant to wreck ranged classes, A3 wrecks melee, A4 is just a jerk, and A1 is easy peasy. Which, given the type of game this is, makes pretty good sense I suppose. Might be worth it to get my wizard or DH geared up enough to comfortably kill the A3 keymaster.
I think the legendary drop rate is in a good place right now; they're certainly not guaranteed (though I did find one in 4-5 hours last night), but do seem more obtainable.
Well I am playing melee wizard right now.

A blackthorne belt with dex no less. HA.

I looked it up and it can get an extra dex roll, going into the 200s.
But yeah, the one I got was a real piece of crap
I nearly flipped when I saw the legendary crossbow too. Mocked on both occasions by Jay Wilson

Wait ... sell what you can and wait
I'm using a blackthorne's belt on my DH, 179 dex, vit, armor, life regen and gold find, plus 100 extra vit from the 2 set bonus. Nice belt if you can't afford a witching hour (which I can't)
