over 200 hours...and I am not using one item I found in the game on my main monk..everything is from the auction house...

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

That's nuts. I just put up 50 and they sold within seconds!

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

I've got Tomes of Jewelcrafting coming out of my butt. How much are they selling for?

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

I did a search for one and its 1345 gold.

I assume the lower end items are higher since all the people farming are doing so in Inferno, so the items that drop in the lower difficulties end up being more rare.

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

how much did you sell each of them for?

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

Then again, I may just wait for commodities to show up on RMAH...

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

Well I take my above post back...found a legendary ring that I am now using...lol

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

Whatever it initially set them for, which was around 750 each. I heard they've actually gone up now.

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

i have 2 lvl 60s, so i'm just using both. ZK i beat with my DH. beliel i beat with a buddy (DH) and my barb. my barb only does 6k dps, so i can't solo him, but i can take hits.

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

My barbarian does over 20k DPS and has over 70K vitality and I still can not solo the beginning of Act 2 on inferno. Not that any better items would drop anyways...this game is stupid :)

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

Lower your vitality, up your resists, and up your dps. I was reading some stuff that having too high a vitality is not always a positive due to some damage calculations or something. So trade some of that vitality to do some damage.

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

Yeah I read something how some attacks are a percentage of your life...so it scales with your life. On top of this, healing is not scaled right in this game...so people with 70,000 life can't heal more than 25% at a time..

I currently have 39,000 hit points. I have no problem at this time on act 1 and 2 of inferno...


With a bit of auction house fun, I now have over 2,000 base life on hit...and my critical damage bonus is near 300% now...so even though my base dps is down to 22,000 dps..with my attack speed, and the way my attacks actually hit multiple times, I always see that yellow critical bonus up...

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

I guess I could try to raise my DPS but anything better than my current gear for STR/DPS is over 1-2mil per item.

I did up my resists recently, they are all between 200-300.

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

Bought some new boots with a lot more STR and resist, and lost a bit of VIT. Still impossible to make it through the first area of Act 2 inferno. The sand wasps just shred barabarians solo, its just not possible to do. I guess I need a co-op partner with some range to fight them, they take off nearly 40k hit points in less than a second.

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

The little wasps they shoot out shred anyone. They do far, far too much damage

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

that is no joke...I can stand in the middle of elites with lava and not drop below 75% health on act 2...but a few shots from those fuckers take me out..

in fact...the elite versions of those wasps might be the hardest things on act 2...

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

I just can't figure out how stats work in this game...I wish they did not nerf some stats for inferno but not others, it makes it difficult to figure out your build...

So act 1 and 2 inferno are easy for me now. Act 3 was a nightmare...I mean it was just plain stupid how quickly I was being destroyed by elites. My life on hit was just not keeping up...

I had 65% reduction from my armor...and another 65% on all resistance. I also ran with near 50% dodge....not enough.

As much as it hurt I gave up about 3000 hitpoints and another 1800 dps...but ended up with 71% from armor and 71% all resistance.

Now, you would not think that that would make much of a difference...but it made a HUGE difference...Got my first full 5 neph stacks built up on act 3.


I do understand that higher armor/res and lower hitpoints actually works in your favor...but how the hell could that little a jump in res/armor make that much of a difference?

If I was being hit for 100,000 damage a second before...and my old armor reduced that by 65% to 35,000...and then my res reduced that another 65% to 12,500 a second...(which felt about right since I was going down in about 5 seconds versus elites)..then my new stats would bring that 100,000 down to 29,000 from the armor and to 8,400 from the res...

Hmm...actually now I do the math it sort of makes since..I have 35,000 hitpoints...so before even when I would bring back 4 thousand hitpoints a second from life on hit...I was going to die in 4 or 5 seconds...now It would take about 10 seconds at the rate of damage vs life on hit, but I can throw on my serenity that last for 4 seconds(and will restore all life in that time)...and then a heal spell while serenity charges...

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

this is the problem i have too. my resists are all over 600. "only" have about 50k heath. i just can't afford a gear switch to find more STR. i need a new chest piece and new weapon. anything to help me that much will cost me several mil, which i just don't have since the crazy price of repairs

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

I run a bit less in Health than you right now. I think I am at 47k. I dipped to as low as 38k as I was gearing him up.

I got a good shield(I am a Barb tank) with the highest block range and a decent block percentage 17-18%+ at least.

Then I did some tradeoffs. A few of my pieces of gear have high Vit or high Str while the other is low of not even on the piece. While making sure each piece had a decent amount of All resist and usually Physical or Fire resist as the second resist if it had two.

I think I dropped to just under 10k DPS for a bit. However once I hit 800 resists I felt way less squishy.

I use the enchantress for her armor boost. Plus I use warcry with impunity for the resist increase.

For weapons I use a blue. The rares are better but to get a weapon that is the same DPS and a rare would cost me too much.

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

my goal is also to just tank. i don't really intend to solo. i just want to get more Def/Armor and more resists. also more life on hit. i'll let friends do the damage. just the scaling is so bad, if there are only 2 of us we can't kill bosses unless someone does a whole bunch of dmg

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

i might need to borrow one of you tanks for a3 inferno on grom. i cant get past him, 400 all res, 30k hp and 102k dps and he works me. life is hard as a DH

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

Is there a good website where I can see the damage range we should be at by level? I just got into NM at 31 and my 450 DPS seems really weak.

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

yeah, I would say you need near 1000 starting nightmare...and about 3000 starting hell..

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

if I see you on tonight we can work the auction house...

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

You're talking about the guy who kills you with gas right? I tried killing him with my WD the other day and gave up and just bought gear to bump up my poison resis to 800+. I have about 1200 loh so I just stood in front of him and tanked him for ~12 mins until he died. After my gear change I think I only had like 8k dps so it took a long time and was rather boring.

I am now at Azmodan and I am not sure I even want to go in there since I can't solo ZK fast enough before he enrages. I am still holding out hope that a decent weapon will drop as an upgrade is way too expensive.

On another note, grouping in this game still sucks. It's so much easier to walk around act 3 inferno solo.
