Got nothing going through all act 1 besides that chest. Go into act 2 normal for one more shot spamming attack so fast didnt even realize a legendary dropped and i picked it up til the end of the run. Still shit tho. O well next one will be the ring! Its gotta happen.
Down to 190K gold... God damn son!
Act 3 is pretty simple with my WW Barb, die here and there but it's fine with me, much better farming with him unlike my DH. I think my DH is nicely geared but fuck, I hate dying if I make one mistake.
2 legendaries so far post patch and both shitty as fuck. Anyone got a good act 3 farming route they could tell me? I start at kill Azmo then just go to depths and then go from top to bottom. Is that what you guys do for act 3?
I feel like legendaries should drop more often, not crazy often but more then they do now. I need like 100 mill gold to get the old nat sat for my DH, LOL LIKE THAT'S EVER GOING TO HAPPEN.

rise the catapults area also has 3-4 elites and keeps have plenty of them too.
Do whatever you feel the most comfortable with. Personally I've been doing everything except the areas past siege breaker (absolutely can't stand the succubi as a WW barb) and the field since I just don't like it. I start out in the lower pop areas to build up NV stacks (basically the bridge to siege breaker and the final path to Azmo) then I kill Azmo and head to the higher pop areas and make sure I kill everything.
That said my favorite spots are The Keep and that random HUGE dungeon before you leave the barricades to the field area. Both of those have plenty of elites and TONS AND TONS of normal enemies. I've found quite a few legendary items over the past few days in those two places alone.

They need to bring rune combos back.
Add some more variety.

I don't want to be THAT guy.. but
I'm playing again for the first time in 2 months, Witch Doctor, level 54..

I'm rolling with (this was my set up back then)
Spirit Walk - Healing Journey
Mass Confusion - Mass Hallucination
Soul Harvest - Siphon
Gargantuan - Restless Giant
and on my mouse
Poison Dart - Splinters
Zombie Charger - Zombie Bears
and my passive skills:
Spiritual Attunement

Legendary drop rate is fine. With rares, you have a high chance to get a drop, but a low chance of it being godly. With legendaries, it's the other way around. At this point, if legendary drop rates become too common, then better than average items will be relatively non-existent.
Says you. It's not uncommon for me to make 7 figures from an hour-long act 3 run. If not 7, I'll make at least 6.
Same boat I'm in. My DH has about 105k dps without SS, 220k with and I was working on getting him some more crit (dropped some for Lacuni's so he has 24% runspeed) but my barb seems to run it faster and more efficient outside of molten. Add to that my DH is already plevel 19, not sure if I should switch or not, piece out the DH, or what.

Not sure if you have all these spells yet. Sorry I don't memorize all rune names or passives so I tried to explain them. I don't have game open at moment.
I've been using:
Pyro
Mass confusion or hand grasp
Zombie dogs-leaching (healing rune)
Exploding dogs-(rube that increases damage 30 seconds)
Zombie Bears or Acid pool (rune that leaves pools of acid)
Gargantuan-big stinker
Passives:
Zombie Handler-extra dog and life for pets
Jungle something- allows pets take extra damage
Spirit Vessel
interesting thank you.
This is quite similar to the build i WANTED to use when i got the game, but it just didnt seem possible.
I'm also noticing the game is easier
(i'm in hell mode i think or inferno? the 3rd difficulty)and i'm not running into teleport/haste/firecast/invunerable/whatever mobs every 15 minutes
which is kinda dissapointing. only took me 2 attempts to kil lthe butcher
That's simply because you happened to get lucky with your rare rolls. The point is that once you've hit enough base MF + paragon MF, there's a huge number of rares to sift through and since there's no way to ID all at once it eventually becomes not worth it to spending time IDing and price checking them when you could be out there getting big ticket items.

Pets can live much longer even in inferno now. That helps easily as much as the damage increases WD's received. The recent update also cut down on some of the crazy elite combos you used to run into.

I've gotten lucky for the majority of the past 100 runs, I guess. That's a pretty crazy string of luck.
And the 5 or 10 minutes you spend identifying items and putting them on the auction house isn't so time consuming that it doesn't make it not worth it. If you're seriously not picking up rares and that's not just hyperbole, then you're foolish.
It's not just luck. The higher MF you have the more likely it is to get 6 prop rares. Once you've reached a high enough paragon level, coming across rares that worth 7 digits or above is not as difficult as you think. The key point is not to pick up any rare that's less than level 61, unless they are rings or amulets. The base gold find will make sure you have a steady income during runs as well.

Another Legendary, I only got to play like two hours this week and I got a Sunkeeper.
(~20 mil Gold)
Hooray!
(~20 mil Gold)
Hooray!
The odds of you finding a big ticket legendary in the time it takes you id an inventory full of ilvl 63s (and maybe 62s) are likely considerably lower than finding something worth selling in that inventory. Most legendaries aren't worth anything
Got a set item tonight:
looking to sell that?
Firewalls? You mean fire chains or molten or mortar? Or those fire traps? I am a Monk with about that much All Res, around 40-50% dodge and 47k HP with a ton of armor thanks to seize the initiative. I also take 30% less damage for being melee. I still can't stand for more than a few seconds in anything that is dishing out fire based damage in act 3.
I don't think resist works towards reducing damage of global effects like fire walls since 1.0.3.
I finished the game today (I have not played it for a couple of days. I was leaving the keep when I started playing today)
Azmodan talks a lot of shit but he was probably the easiest boss fight in the game
The ending was... that's it?
Anyways, I want some advice for the next difficulty. This is my profile
I use the Enchantress, zombie and zombie dogs as tanks, grasp of the dead to slow and damage enemies and spam firebomb and acid cloud for the major damage. Should I use different skills?
As far as gear goes - any changes that I should make? not that I can do much, I use what I find. Maybe I should drop the shield for an offhand weapon? I also wanted to ask - do things like STR or DEX matter at all for my class?
Also, is that a good level to finish the game on normal? I basically explored everything on the map. Should I do the same in Nightmare and Hell, or should I just try to go to Inferno ASAP?

Looking to get into farming, would like some friends on this game to help with price checks and stuff. I have a 60(8) DH and a 60(4) Barb. Not asking for you to carry me or anything, but I would like to some help. All of my friends seem to have quit the game, and my friends list is always at 0.

Mr. Community
Found two lacuni prowlers back to back.
One sucked and was sold at the AH for 1M, I'm sporting the other one... it rolled +allresists +strength +intelligence and +vita.
Right after my buddy found another one hahaha.
I'm sitting at 43k damage unbuffed (witch doctor), over 4k armor and all resists 600-700.
Finally unsucking myself gear wise.
Poor as heck tho, 7M to my name and saving for the nice witch doctor toys (which cost a fortune).

Hey look, Pyro got another legendary:
It's been a while, seems like you are creeping back towards normal rates now...Hey look, Pyro got another legendary:
Don't even know if that's good or not as I don't play WD but the +damage roll is low.

Lucky you guys. I was so excited when my second post-patch Legendary dropped in A3.
Then I wasn't so excited anymore.

It's actually an upgrade for me since I'm a lightning monk. I threw it on the AH for a 15mil start 30mil bin just to see if anyone would do a crazy impulse buy but I'm probably just going to cancel it and equip it.

Sick life regen on a weapon. Good one for sure mang.
Now Paragon 16, still no Legendaries post patch with about 10-12 pre-patch. I tried two complete Act 1 clears with 330% MF with nothing. At this point I'm starting to get annoyed that I'm not finding any, even if they were shit (all but one of the pre-patch ones I found were shit).
