I'd use them for the added movement speed.

it's a dungeon found in the desolate sands
ah cool, so via some quick math, assuming that there isn't a random jump in exp needed for the next level (aka each level is about the previous level plus 1.5 mil) it will take around 8,145,000,000 exp to reach level 100 paragon
given there is most likely a bump somewhere that number is likely the min amount of exp needed
I've seen 10,454,400,000 given as a total (over at gamefaqs, I believe it was, but I'm not sure if that's an official number). Presumably, there's a slight exponential increase in the XP needed for each level, so the approx 10.5 billion number is probably close.
thanks.

You choose the very last quest where you are going to kill Belial. Vault of Assassins is a permanent dungeon area in the Desolate Sands. It can be tough to find but it has a checkpoint attached to it so if you finish on there and restart a game, you'll actually spawn inside it.
I actually got bored with doing just that along with some of the other stuff as I was clearing it all so fast so just go and kill Belial at the end just for a change of pace.

Once you get to the vault you can leave the game and come back next time and start there again. Just don't use any portals to move around. Always use the waypoints.
Damn did they ever pour the awesome sauce on the 2 hand weps.
Just seen a 2 hand staff 1100 dps with 110% crit damage and 399int. My enchantress will be happy.
The movement speed is easily worth the minor loss is stats you'd suffer, but you're aware of that. The real question is whether you expect them to hold their value; if they do, there's nothing be lost by using them. It looks like your random affixes were life regen, crit chance, and magic find. My bet is that's good enough that the bracers will hold their value, but I don't know the auction house well enough to be sure.
On the other hand, if the value crashes over the next few days, it'd suck not to have taken advantage.

yeah I decided to just put it up for an obscene price in the rmah. If it sells I'll be happy. If not I'll just use it. Figure it's worth a try.
When I farm Act 2, I usually choose the last portion of the quest that involves killing Zoltun Kulle. With 5 stacks, you can kill ZK and Belial right after each other and get the guaranteed rare drops that come with 5 stacks. The only quest between killing ZK and Belial is rescuing the townspeople, and that takes a minute or so.
In addition to the recommended Vault of the Assassin, I do a quick run through the Oasis because of the guaranteed Resplendent Chests if any of the two treasure tombs shows up. At this point, I just run around maps looking for elite packs and ignore normal monsters.
Since they no longer regen/enrage, as long as you can do some damage and repair, anyone can technically. With the less hp, they definitely go down faster. Wish they added 'halfway' waypoints through dungeons, though, and at least allow NV to effect resp. chests.
They turned on super easy mode. My monk could already destroy inferno, now it's just silly. I barely even take damage in act 2. Now everyone can sail through inferno.
It's what people wanted: an easy game with crazy loot to make said game even easier to enable them to find said crazy loot more easily.
Has anyone seen an issue with champs/elites moving at hyper speed? I've seen it twice, once with the purple demon you run into on the bridge going to alcarnus on your way to kill Magdah and then once with a random champ pack in the oasis. They were much faster than the normal fast affix (and didn't even have that), it's almost like they were recieving my barb's 40% sprint bonus.
Just saw this drop on Reddit:
Two sockets???
Holy fuck that's amazing, I WANT IT.

It's pretty stupid, they made it super easy mode now.
Since Inferno is so easy, what's the best Act 3 and 4 loots runs? Pre-patch, I did Act 2.

Mother of all that is holy that is some crossbow. Goddamn.
I've been reading the almost entirely positive reactions to the changes, and wondering how this is a good thing.
Scratch that; I know how it's a good thing for people that just couldn't wrap their mind around Inferno, but how is it a good thing for the rest of us?

Indeed. I'll play my used-to-be-OP (before I stopped for two months) DH with my buddies who still insist on softcore despite having level 60s on hardcore, but my main playing goal is to get all five classes to 60 on HC.
Although even that's a lot easier now.
Don't ask me, I thought pre 1.03 difficulty was awesome. Required some real finesse and skill.
Now though? Zero skill, and the ability to completely outgear content exists.

So...
342% crit dmg on this weapons only with two max emrald and Archery passive ?
I think inferno was fine the way it was, it's nice to have something to measure your gear against. It's cool and all that it's easier to farm now but to what end? What are you hoping use that fancy new gear for? Just more farming? I want a wall I can throw myself at to see where I really stack up.
That said, I am glad they did away with the invulnerable minions. God I hated that shit.

Is it really that easy now?
I'm sure Blizz will eventually increase the difficulty again.
They haven't found that sweet spot yet for the average Joe I think.
Man, people who beat vanilla inferno should be awarded with a special achievement
My 12k DPS Tank Barb was the shit back then

Unless there is a cap. Whoever ends up buying that for a shitload of money is going to....farm better....I guess.

Unless 50% of the active player base leaves en mass again I don't see that happening.

Got one last week. Decent : 25% MF on a weapon is always nice
Current build. Dogs aren't working out though...still not sure what I want as a 4th skill. Spirit Barrage is godly.
edit: Pierce the Veil might be a little much. Should be viable once I have more mana/mana-regen, but for now I can run out if I miss too many of my Spirit Barrages.

The new ones don't have MF anymore. It's a 35% damage boost to ancient spear and weapon throw.

I want to gouge my eyes out. I haven't found anything good so far. Just junk.

Uhhh somethings wrong with inferno. I just soloed act 3 on my monk without even dying. Only 20k dmg buffed and 35k hp.
The challenge is continuing to play despite the lack of challenge. It's meta as fuck.
