You think so?

Ok well, when I go home today, if it hasn't sold, I'll cancel it and put it up with no buyout and starting bid of 25M.

yea the only thing that will do is benefit you if the item is worth more than 25m.
Let the market decide it's fate.

Yeah I'm starting to think doing no buyout's is the way to go. Sure I may have to wait an extra 1-1.5 days, but it might net me more in the end.

 

[Imp]

It's because of sharp shooter. It's one shot dps when it builds upto 100% crit his average dps is probably 70-80kish i think.

Na, I'm at 83k dps with worse items. He's gotta be at least over 100k dps without sharpshooter.

And let me get this straight... you can choose more than one skill from a skill class at once? Meaning, I can choose two skills from the same discipline?

That DH has two skills from the fourth class: Cluster Arrow and Rain of Vengeance.

I've sold quite a few things for super cheap around the starting bid because I'm guessing that no one noticed it until the last few minutes before the auction closed. With a "no buyout", you run the risk of losing out on impulse buys.

Yes, in your gameplay settings I believe. Set it to elective mode.

 

[Adrenaline]

i know D3 has its fair share of problems, most noticeable the RMAH and inferno difficulty being way too hard. my question is, do i have my moneys worth playing the game upto inferno difficulty.

whats a good average amount of time playing it enjoyable upto the hardest difficulty on one toon?

If you are complaining about both AH then that is good but only complaining about the RMAH is pointless.

Inferno is not hard and has not been for a while.

I cleared inferno from level one in less than twenty four hours on two characters.

Also, lots of people are sorting by end time now.

Yap, inferno can be cleared with mediocre gear now.

 

[nyker96]

now that I have played testing server w/ 105, lost my apetite for the vanilla 104. can't go back. plus the legendary drops in 105 is much better, got like 2 leg in just few hours in 105.

Holy. Shit.

Almost 400 hours in and I never knew this. I thought people were on drugs when they posted their character builds and two skills from the same class were being used.

I'm a bit sad, but happy that I can finally get rid of class 4 skills that I never really use as a DH.

Haha, I didn't know this either, you aren't alone.

FUnny thing is~ this was my biggest complaint in beta until someone pointed me in the right direction.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

lol @ imp! thats unbelievable man!

 

[*kjm]

I have that... how do you do it though... I'm at work so I cant try it.
Just pick one ctl then another or what?

Thanks.

 

[fustercluck]

lol @ imp! thats unbelievable man!

It's actually pretty believable. I don't know why they even have an option (elective mode) that lets you use any skills you want (almost) which is unchecked by default. Why would they limit the skills you could use from the get go? I suppose their idea was to make things "simpler" for the player.

Took me about 150 hours to find that option I didn't suffer much without it or anything but nice to have for sure.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Thanks.

Basically you can just pick whatever skill you want for hot keys 1-4 and left/right mouse click.

 

[Imp]

Okay everyone, stop the presses: I found my first set item after about 400 hours.

It was an Natalya's ring with stats:
- 200 LoH
- 200 Life regen
- +9% IAS
- 140 dex
- 30 vit

Closest ring for bid is at 75 million, I started it at 65 million. Fingers crossed?

Ho-lee sheet.

Someone bought the ring out for the 115 million buyout I set it at. I now have 97 million gold more than last night.

And man I feel stupid about the skills thing... I checked out the options and turned it off once, then turned it off because I thought it was annoying that I could drag the boxes around.

Turn Elective mode on
Organize your skills how you want
Turn Elective mode off and you can't drag them off your bar

 

[waterjug]

8m is budget gear?

Yeah....well, that about sums up why I stopped playing. I've never had even 2m.

ding ding ding. It's why I stopped playing as well. Paragon system didn't do jack shit. 1.04 didn't do jack shit. MF didn't do jack shit. I found one item that sold for 2m, next highest was 300k. My total gold I've probably grossed in this game is under 7M. This game is only fun for the people that have found gear by random luck, and then come back and tell us how easy it is since they have 100M or some shit.

Here's how fucked up this game is:


I'm a barb, I was getting ass raped constantly. I decided to try a WW build. I only had a couple mil. to spend. I can't even afford to make a good WW build, but it's better than nothing. The next day blizz announces the nerf to WW. So I have no money, I have no build that's viable (since my original build was getting ass raped, and my WW build still needs items to be decent), and no way to advance any further in the game.

Blue post saying monks have most potential for improvement. Monk changes possibly incoming

Quote
While there are currently solid build options for monks both in 1.0.4 and 1.0.5, and while top-tiered monks using very specific builds can achieve respectable damage, the class isn’t yet where we want it to be. We’re definitely aware of your concerns, and we agree that additional improvements should be made, especially with regards to play style options, build diversity, and the performance and budget of monk resources. We feel that the monk has the most potential for improvement, and we have plans to make more changes to the monk after 1.0.5. The sort of changes we’d like to make are not simple number tweaks, though.

Ultimately, we want to make monks more engaging to play and really immerse players in what it would feel like to be a fast-punching martial arts master. We have a number of ideas on how to accomplish that for the future, and we want to provide improved passives, particularly passives that can be used for a more offensively-minded monk. I also mentioned two other possible changes we’re considering in my previous post, but those certainly aren’t the only changes we’re looking into. They address another area we feel could use improvement, and that’s giving players some additional, more active play style options.

We have more improvements planned and they’re still only in the discussion phase, so we’re not really in a place right now to talk about them in much detail, but we’re actively working towards solutions to address many key concerns.

Sweet. That's one thing I absolutely can't stand about the Monk (even though I thoroughly enjoy the class): no offensive passives. Well, ok, one - combination strike. Which I've been messing with, and to be honest, I'm not certain it's worth losing another skill over. It's fun and good for utility, but as far as straight up damage improvement, it's not there.

Holy. Shit.

Don't feel bad man. I had to show my room-mate this option and he about crapped his pants with glee. That option is a total gamechanger for anyone not just casually playing the game.

I really don't understand why this is even an option or something selectable...putting skills where you want should be totally open to the user. I'm not sure how it works for other classes, but with the monk there are several skills that you can't put on your primary/secondary slots. I'm sure that's for "balancing reasons", or whatever Blizzard wants to call it.

Keep trying different skills and builds until you find one that works for you. I personally enjoyed the challenge of creating my own builds and seeing what I liked. I absolutely can't stand cookie cutting builds. I'm pretty sure you'll find something, just keep at it!

Or maybe try a different class?

A lot of this game is gear dependent. Once you get decent enough gear, you can start playing around with other skills that you never would've considered and find out just how well they work and when they can really shine. ^^

I've found the best way is to build as defensive as you can (gear and abilities) then slowly modify your skills or gear to supplement more dps. Unless you like running around as a glass cannon as a melee. That's totally up to you.

you still have plenty of time to farm using the ww build.
they've been nerfing everything that the majority of the people have been using.

ias nerf
monk nerf etc..
cm wiz/nado barb etc..

it was probably worth more than that if it got bought out at a first run.
if i set buy it now~ i usually set it extremely high and work my way down. If I don't do that I set a price i think is fair compared to similar items on ah then let market dictate value.

Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.

This was a common issue the first few weeks after people hit 60, I didn't imagine anyone still not knowing. Didn't they even adjust descriptions a few patches back, unless I remember incorrectly?
