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

So I really am shocked how amazing life on hit is if you get it high enough. I have been using a 2 handed weapon for a long time with a base dps of 1350 and like 280 dex...200 vit...and a socket. I switched out for 2 one handed weapons...they only do 600 dps...so I lost over 10,000 dps..but each has 400 life on hit and crit dmg. Act 1 and 2 Inferno is easy solo, unless you get that combo of elites that just are unfair.

The problem is I do not want to spend money on getting some one handed weapons with at least 850 dps with life on hit and crit dmg. I put my 2 handed weapon which I think is amazing up on the RMAH 3 times...first time 50 bucks...second 25..no hits. This morning I wake up and find that after putting a min bid of only 5 dollars, but a buyout of 100...it sold for 75...HELL YEAH..this money I had go to my blizzard account, unlike the other auctions I had go to my paypal, so I am going to use it on new weapons once it clears..

I respectfully disagree. The AH is already flooded with crap. I can't imagine how it would be if the limit was raised.

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

I sold a few items on the GAH shortly after release because a friend told me it was way better than selling to the merchant. They were low-level items, and 2/10 sold. I haven't been back since, because it's just too much of a hassle for me.

I also haven't visited either auction house for purchasing things. To me, it totally negates what I feel the game should be about, which is killing guys, getting loot, and hoping that loot is better than your current gear. It helps that I have 5 guys (one of each class), so pretty much any piece of gear is potentially useful.

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

I think that's more of Blizzard's track record with WoW. First quest completed and the reward item is better than the 40 man raid gear. I am not sure if that will apply to D3. They probably don't want to anger their RMAH buyers too much.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Activision/Blizzard was selling elite items on the RMAH.

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

Trying to progress without AH loot in this game is not very feasible right now. If I did not buy anything from the AH, I would probably be stuck on Act 1 Inferno. Hell who knows if I would have even made it through Hell difficulty.

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

I haven't made it up to Inferno yet. I've got one guy almost through Hell, and then my other 4 are about halfway through Nightmare. I'm still having a good time, and play shitloads of co-op with some friends. We all trading gear around whenever we find something.

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

A HUGE THANKS to Foxdvd for the run and the gear boost last night. It sucks that I am so far behind everyone, but my laptop did run the Beta decent just not enough for the full game and co-op. Fox is right with the +life on hit bonus. On my sissy little Wizard it made a night and day difference. I got on the AH and bid on some cheap yellow handbows w/ socket for my DH so he can have this stat as well.

At level 22 Wiz and 17 DH - I love chain lightning and multishot - reminds me of D2. I am just having a hard time of enjoying my first play through and wanting to get to end game with everyone on my friends list in the limited amount of time I have to play.

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

Seems like LOH is the new IAS, which means expect a nerf in an upcoming patch. :lol:

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

I have life on hit on both my main weapons and amulet...on a single target, each hit gives me 1500 hit points...since I hit 2 times a second...that is 3000 hit points a second...on top of that, any other dmg I do at that time seems to bleed over...so a rune on my main attack adds lighting dmg so I also get a hit with that...so on a single target It pops up 1500-2500 hit points twice a second....Since a single target is never that hard, it is easy..

The real joy of life on hit is against mobs...my attack hits up to 5-6 enemies at a time...I get life for each hit..so I have seen over 10,000 hitpoints come back with each hit...Unless I get frozen where I can't keep hitting, or they stack more than 2 lavas on me and freeze me in place, I have no problem destroying.

Hotfixes - http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6214...6_13_2012#blog

Item drops should be better....

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

Well this should make it much more fun!

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

i know noone cares, but i finally got beliel down in inferno. he is a bitch. i hate him. i hate everything about act 2. can't think of a single part of that i enjoy

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

I liked exploding bloated corpses in the sewers :)

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

The brief bit where Covetous Shen joins you is pretty good.

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

well shit...servers down? Game froze and now I can't log in...boooo

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

Error 37 is really starting to piss me off.

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

You are probably right. I wish they would just let ME put up more than 10. :D





you lucky s.o.b. :)

Are you finding these weapons as drops or are you doing "buy low/sell high" on the AH?

thanks for letting me tag along on inferno last night. although it was kind of like following Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. You were shredding those crazy 88s

:lol:

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

I hated act 2 on D2 and so far - still on my first play through Normal Started Act 3, I hate Act 2 D3 just as much. Glad I am not alone. I liked D2 Act 3 but hated the tiny little fetish guys that blazed all over the screen and hard to target. It seems like they added these to act 2 this time around - more to hate in A2.

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

i hate Act 2 as well. It's a chore, and those bugs that shoot out the smaller green bugs make me want gouge my own eyes out...especially on inferno


on another note, I think the new hot fixes with loot drops have made the game a little more fun. it is nice to know that i have a better chance at getting some good loot to drop. i still hate the repair costs. I probably spent 60,000 in repairs last night. I have several pieces of indestructible gear equipped so I don't want to imagine what repair costs would have been had i not had that on. When i play inferno, i make just enough gold to pay off my repair costs for the run. it sucks to see alot of gold drop and have to use it all to pay for repairs. :(

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

Congrats! I still need to get a new weapon so I can solo ZK. I hate the enrage timers. I hate Act 3 more than 2 though as I think Act 2 is much easier.

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

I also wish I could put up more than 10 auctions. I have been hoarding all my rare drops since I started playing and just started purging everything the other day. I had 9 mules filled with rares and my entire stash full. It is taking me a lot longer than I imagined to price check everything on the AH before I vend / blow it up. I think I am half way done...

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

The GAH has really gone downhill anyway. I used to sell almost everything I put up, but now I am lucky if I sell 2 out of 10 items i put up.

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

i still can't figure out why i am selling chipped gems in AH for 150-300g each
but for flawed,flawless,square etc.. i sell for around 50g.
are chipped gems valuable for some crafting item?

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

Yeah, a lot of the crap has gone down in value. I should have sold my crap earlier instead of hoarding.

Check out the price on tomes of jewelcrafting.
