re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

if the rumors are to be believed the nerf on attack speed is going to cost me about 8000-10000 dps. Anyone who spent 250 bucks on a weapon on the rmah is fixing to have a bad day if they nerf attack speed on weapons, as some say they are, because 75% of those over 1000dps weapons are that way because of built in attack speed.

You guys weren't kidding about Act 2 Inferno. I can handle Butcher runs pretty comfortably, but Act 2 is nothing but death, crying, and pain. I think Inferno Act I --> Act II marks the biggest difficulty hike in the game.

re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

So who wants to donate to the "Help Discostu upgrade his Staff of Herding to Hell" fund? I just can not make enough gold in this game to do anything. How the hell do people have millions? I sell everything I can find in the auction house (provided people actually buy it) and am at level 60. The most gold I have ever had was 400K.

It's kind of annoying, the gold dropping does not really scale well through the various difficulties. I would expect a minimum of 1k gold dropping every time on Inferno difficulty, yet I still see 50-100 gold piles.

Side note, fuck the groups of 3-4 purple flying enemies with the fire chain, regenerating health, and teleportation. Those things take me around 10 respawns to kill if I'm lucky. I killed Diablo in 1 try...something is not right.

having done this - i bought goldfind gear (just a bunch of stuff, got it up to about 100%) and ran act 3 hell. all those little guys love dropping gold. i'm in the "who wants to help vball get to act 4 inferno to buy the inferno staff", but oddly no one wants too. probably because act 2 sucks monkey balls

re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

I just ran the start of act 3 and got about 15K in 10 minutes with 0% gold find. Does buying armor to raise it up past 100% really net me much more gold, or would i have spent any profit on the armor itself?

I don't ever equip gold find gear, but I do see a noticeable jump as I accumulate NV stacks.

I never have less than a million gold at any given moment...if I get low I spend a few moments buying and reselling on the auction house...it went through a dry spell for a while, but it seems to be hot again. I can turn 300,000 gold in profit in less than an hour...only spending maybe 15 minutes of that time actually on the auction house...and the rest playing the game..(I take breaks every 10 minutes to check what has sold and buy new stuff)

search for level 51 weapons with sockets under 20,000 gold...make sure they are rare..if any pop up over 250dps buy it..and sell it for 40,000 at least (gets over 260 go for 70,000)

re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

Is there a pricing guide anywhere? People are always throwing up items in General Chat for an "Antiques Roadshow" assessment, and there always seems to be quick consensus on how much it's "worth". Yet, I have no idea. If I have an item to auction and I search for similar items in the AH, the prices always vary from extremely cheap to ridiculously expensive.

What this game needs is a "recently sold" function that tells you how much items like yours have sold for in the past. They have this for commodities, but not for items. I realize stats are randomized, but they can do things in ranges. "A 500 dps weapons with 100-125 str sells for __________".

That is a feature sorely missing from the auction h ouse. You can't really judge what an item will go for when all you are seeing is items that haven't sold.

re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

I've hit a wall in early Act 1 Inferno. The part where you search the three crypts under the cemetery. Up to that point is not a problem, but each crypt has an elite pack at the beginning, and I die quick. Not enough room for me to kite them. I've tried using my best DPS gear (32k), and I've tried using my best resist gear (370ish). As you can see, my gear is pretty bad, because neither set worked. Anyway, any of you other Demon Hunters have any advice? I don't have much gold, so I'll try the buy/sell method mentioned by foxdvd.

i regularly do my MF runs in those crypts and rarely run into major issues. might be build vs equipment. i have less dps than that and do just fine. look for me online and we'll talk

re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

I've finally gotten to hell on my barbarian, and sucking at it so far.

I think other than one imp out of a group of 4 who I was able to get alone, I haven't killed any of the blue or yellow mobs yet. I end up running around them. I think my main problem is that my resistances are pretty crap, and they all seem to have a pool of poison or fire aroudn them. Nightmare was actually generally pretty easy by the end (although The Prime Evil did take me three tries, but that was just a matter of figuring out the right setup).

checking your character, the biggest thing that stands out is your dps of 700 is not good enough for hell. You should have at least twice that. When are you getting on again? I got some stuff for you that will double your dps and raise your armor....

re: Diablo III + Reaper of Souls (multi-platform)

I found out how to make some pretty fast gold and collect a few yellow items each time. I bought some gold find gear that puts me at around +160%. Then I play the secret level on Nightmare difficulty and kill every enemy but do not open any of the clouds/pots/mushrooms. Since I'm level 60, I get a +15% gold/magic find bonus every time I kill a blue/yellow mob/enemy. By the end of the dungeon I'm usually around +240% gold find. Then, I walk the dungeon a second time opening everything an collecting the loot. Takes about 15 minutes and nets me around 35-45K and 3 yellow items.

I think I'll buy the Hell staff and see if I get better loot, but the enemies may be too strong for me with my shitty gold find gear.

The gold/magic find from NF only works on bosses currently, not on random loot. Supposedly anyways

This is true

After looking at your character I would also like to add that you should probably either go sword and board or a 2 hander. The offhand may give you a bit of a small dps boost but a shield would be so much better survivability wise. Especially if you get a better 1 hander.

actually I was going to recommend a one hand and shield...I went through my stuff, and spent a few thousand gold on the auction house.. When he gets on he should have 3 to 4 times the dps...much more armor..a lot more hit points...and some other better stats..he will have no problem after that..
