just got an interesting item. chest with tons of +hp potential
62 str
118 dex
190 vit
27 poison resist
+11% life (the highest it can roll, according my auction search)
2 sockets

thinking of putting it up for some real money. anyone think thats worth 50 bucks maybe?

Could be, maybe more. search for what else is out there. I doubt there is much, with sockets that's almost 200/200 dex/vit.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

another interesting item...a very high +damage WD mojo with int and vit:
108-311 damage
73 dex
98 int
83 vit
11 mana regen per second.

looks like it could be worth 50 bucks too from some searches. i mean, who knows if that stuff is selling at those prices but thats what comparable items are listed at.

That is awesome for a tanking Monk. I would start it at 100 bid and 200 buyout. That is a lot of health and they can socket more dex in it.

Max dmg is 405, I would use it or sell it for what I could. Undercut everyone as it really is just ok. I bought mine for 250k for my WD, it has 386 dmg with 70+ Int.

I encountered my first "significant" bug so far.

I have found:

Kill a boss of invulnerable minions off screen and the minions that aren't close will live and they are still invulnerable.

When I SS and vault out of molten on the ground I can hit 0 health and nothing increases my life (potions, leech from NT, healing from my templar). I have to take an item off with +vit, stick it in my inventory and then reequip it.

I resurrected on a WP and I wasn't there, could not move at all. Had to log out.

Maybe something else, but can't think of it.

 

[Fallengod]

Anyone have any decent/good crossbow for sale or to borrow? I just want a decent one with some ias and a socket or something in the 200-300k category.

 

[Soccerman06]

Can anyone rush me through a3/4 inferno? I could do a2 but not much else on my wiz.

Just buy one of the socketed ones around 900-950 dps (2h xbow) for 100k off the AH. That's what I'm using and it's good enough for Act III with kiting and +MS. I sold all my other bows and xbows on the RMAH

Does anyone know how to convert dex to dps? If you had 1.4spd fist that's 700dps vs 600dps with a certain amount of dex... how do you determine which is better? I don't have the tooltip since I'm comparing in the AH.

(1H/OH or 2H damage average) * (base weapon attack speed * weapon IAS) * (1 + gear IAS / 100) * ((1 + crit % / 100) * (crit damage / 100)) * (char DPS stat / 100 + 1) * any passive damage increase

I think Blizzard will eventually add the damage, HP, damage mitigation comparison to AH in a future patch

I have a spreadsheet for DH damage if you want it. I forget where I got it from but its pretty nice to have. I think Adrenaline linked me to it the other day.

Unfortunately theres only 2 real markets for this item: Barbs and Monks. Most Wizards, Witch Doctors, and DH's are not that interested in Vit or %life, because the most effective build for them at the moment is glass cannon.

Barb's and DH's, while both will highly value lots of Vit and %life, the generally are not willing to sacrifice 70-80 all resist for those stats. You might be able to sell it as a solid intermediary item, but I don't think you are going to get anywhere near $50.

I still can't decide on which character to play. I know have a 53 DH in Hell. She's annoyingly squishy though. I had one helluva time taking out a vortexing, immune minions, and something else, maybe reflects damage, elite spiderling group in those one caverns that lead up to the giant Arachnid (caverns of something or other). I died 5 or 6+ times on that, but finally pieced together the right passives and skills and killed the spider. Every time I came back after a death the leader/boss would be back to full life.

Anyway: 53 DH - not enough ways to heal self, and discipline goes away too quickly to reliably escape enemies, especially in tight quarters.

~49 Barb - lots of fun, and doing ok in late nightmare. Just wondering if I should stick with it only to be pulling my hair out in Inferno

~39 WD and Wiz - I hate that the WD's minions are gonna suck in Hell or definitely in Inferno at least. The wiz is kinda boring = disintegrate everything... over and over and over...

~34 monk. This is the one class I feel like is probably best suited for survivability, and can do so so dps too. Not that much fun, but who knows.

The barb is actually my favorite character I think at this point. The DH is cool too, but just too squishy. I hate being so indecisive, because when I finally get to Inferno with one of them, it'll probably be patch 1.4 or something.

My opinions on the classes (keep in mind I have only got to A2 Inferno on Barb/Wiz and not played the other classes except a HC Monk up to about level 28):

DH - pure squishiness but also the best kiting and damage avoidance in the game between that ghost move and vault. Also the highest DPS class currently.

Wizard - much like the DH, but you have a lot more base survivability, Blizzard is amazing for kiting, but much less dps potential than a DH.

Monk - can be built incredibly tanky but probably has the lowest DPS potential in the game. Heals add a lot of survivability, but from what I hear the heals don't scale well into Hell/Inferno. With Dex doubling as your primary dps stat and a great damage avoidance (dodge chance), its a great combo, but thats about all they have going for them.

Witch Doctor - cannot comment much on these guys, I haven't played one, and I don't regularly play with people who do. I know they have incredibly high DPS potential if built right, but I'm guessing they are somewhere between the DH and Wizard in squishiness. I hear pets become a lot less viable in Hell and Inferno, but thats just what I've evidenced from my limited play time with them in late game.

Barbarian - currently my favorite class. Normal though Inferno A1 is pure easy mode, but you hit a huge brick wall in Inferno A2/A3. The plus side is that a properly geared (and by properly geared I mean 50-150 million worth of gear) will be an unstoppable killing machine that no other class can begin to compare with.

 

[Soccerman06]

Ya barbs are ridiculous with good gear, like can solo a4 inferno no prob kinda good.

Barbs and monks all have problems in A2/3, without amazing great with all resist and vit/%life. With warcry impunity, I'm at 700 all resist, 40k hp, and 15k base dmg, i still can't do all of act2.

I lost hp to gain some dmg recently and it's still a bitch. Next patch is gonna fix this..hopefully.

Since were on the topic. Are there any really good beast barbs here? I am curious what weapon route you go. I was considering making one. Are they better with 2h, 1h + shield or dual-wield?

So I finally geared up well enough to make Act 1 Inferno a cake walk for the most part...

Second I get to Act 2, it's like I went from Hell to Inferno again. WTF is this shit?

I have the same stats as Paulenski above: 42k health, 690 to 750 resists for all, 850 for physical, but "low" damage of 12k because I had to sacrifice all stats/items to boost health, armour, and resists. I'm getting 2 to 3 hit killed, can't withstand ANY elemental damage, while I could take more than my fair share in A1. Absolute bullshit.

The worst part is I don't see what else I can do, except boost armor a bit. Otherwise, I need millions of gold for god knows what.

For Normal through Hell, you can do whatever you want really. Most people need to switch to 1h/shield in Inferno A1/A2 until you can manage to get some really nice gear.

My Barb just finished steamrolling through A2. 30k hp, 25kdps, 1200 life on hit, 2.03 attacks per second, 700-800 all resists, 35% block, 8k+ armor.

Alright.

Could I see your gear sometime? It might help me get a mindset of what to aim for.

rule of thumb, 1 dex = 1 dps, but the higher the base dps the more it scales...

 

[mingsoup]

People. I just sold a pair of boots a grade above rare. Nothing special for 6$. I made 4.25$ *real money*. HOLY F! How long can this making money off a game go on for...... Its gotta come to a point where either the market totally saturates or everyone hits max level or something. I'm glad some people have more money than time.

 

[stag3]

so with the IAS nerf coming for 1.0.3
what should i be looking for in armor for the DH?

dex + crit + ias still?

vital+resist is useless for inferno so i won't bother with that and just go glass cannon

 

[fustercluck]

1.03 patch can't come too soon - Hurry up blizz!

 

[Spoooon]

LOL, made $1.00 today. Just need to make $58 more.
