Has anyone bought anything with real money on the AH yet? I'm asking because I would like to laugh at you.

Seriously, what the hell is the point of buying items with real money for a game like Diablo 3. It's not like that item is going to give you an edge over anything or anybody, the game is cooperative. On top of that, the game is getting quite repetitive.

Not to mention that there have been issues of items being duped already to the point of servers getting brought down because of it so I would never spend real money for them.

Scored a good 1000+ dps 1 hander with high crit damage.

My wiz is now 74k DPS and 30k HP. I can finally do an average Siegebreaker run in less than 30 minutes. YESSSSSS!

They shouldn't fix crap with ias. Does anyone really feel OP in Inferno?

This is the kicker... IAS not nerfed for quivers for DH's that are the only class remotely close to being OP. They're only OP relative to the other classes.

How else would we judge their OPness?

Yeah seems like Demon hunters are definitely OP to me, I figured they'd be the best class before D3 came out but didn't know for sure. I'm building up a DH now and it's like playing on super easy mode even with just average gear. Seen some that do 115k+ DPS. Probably a lot of those out there.

I'd rather not one class be so OP though. It's just really bad if you want to have any sort of balance in the game. My witch doctor with above average gear does 24k DPS which seems like a lot but compared to demon hunters who can do 100k+ more DPS it seems very miniscule. MMOs always seem to make melee classes shitty, too. Hopefully things will get more balanced out when D3 is out of this beta stage

It's ridiculous how people both for him and Kungen are willing to farm up characters just to be able to say they helped them and complete the hard part of certain quests when they sit out.

What are you talking about?

Anyways, he's at Izual, pretty crazy.

Ok I don't not sure how many have had there account taken over by someone else but I did. this is the first time i have ever been hacked with any game.

After I called them it took 26min. to talk to some one to get my account to work again.

I had to make a difrent email account.

After they made it so I could log on agin all my gold was gone and few of my items even my healing pots were gone.

After I called them again in order to resotore my account I couldn't use the auction that you have to pay for item or make money at.

This to me is wrong.

Seems to me that they hacked there site to get emails and I have to pay for it.

I think it's pretty much been verified that 'hacking' is actually your password hacked from another site being cross-referenced. They probably had thousands of email and password combinations in a list just waiting to run through a script and see which ones work. I'd bet there's a good chance you used the same password somewhere else.

Well, it happened to me and this is the only viable conclusion I could come up with. It was also said somewhere...

Also, you have to get an authenticator or they wont let you back on the auction. I had to get one after I was hacked as well. It's only $6.50. They actually don't charge you for it, you are paying shipping costs.

Yeah. Did you use the same password with the associated email on any other sites? This seem to be what is happening.

What I have heard is, the admins who run the sites are the ones actually stealing the passwords/emails and running a bot which automatically cross references the passwords.

And, I guess you didnt have an authenticator? If you used an authenticator it would be pretty difficult for them to do this....

I think its blatantly obvious Blizz's site didnt get hacked or everyones accounts would be gone by now...


Lastly, you can get an authenticator for free if you didnt want the real one. Just use an android emulator for the mobile auth...

There's a few hours-long maintenance coming, any announcement I might have missed?

From 3:00 AM to 1:00 PM (PDT).

Could it be the maintenance to bring in the patch? I sure hope it is. It doesn't say anything else than that it's for maintenance on the log-in screen, so I'm wondering.

This is plenty of INT but an awful, awful DPS on the weapon. To be honest, as a wiz you should not even bother with Act II, Act III unless you have AT LEAST 40k.

Just to demonstrate, i have GF/MF gear on which significantly drops my DPS which is now approx. 30K - with GF/MF gear.

What you need, is FIRSTLY and most importantly a good weapon (for Inf i recommend 1H + Off) where the 1H should have AT LEAST 830 if not better DPS. No APS on the weapon please because it screws up stats. The main weapon should also have a decent amount (150ish) of INT because you do not want to sacrifice INT for a few more DPS. Its always better to get a good DPS main wep but ALSO having INT on it.

(Before Inferno i had a slow 2H, but i really started to like Wand + OH + wizard hat)

Reason: Wand, OH and Wizard Hat provide additional arcane power (A MUST!) especially if you get a fast 1.40 speed wand - because this will drain Arcane power very, very quickly.

As an off hand, this also needs to have + Max Arcane power and preferably good damage anywhere in the 50-200 ish or better range, preferrably INT as well.

But then DPS is not everything, you need resists out the *** and armor as well. I'd say 400ish resist one everything, 5000ish armor, 1700ish INT..

Skills are essential..magic weapon (for boosting DPS), energy armor with force armor...etc..etc.. <--- however, all this being said Act II+/Inf will still be incredible hard. But those stats should get you *at least* started.

***

I dont think that going out full armor (with energy armor etc. +40%) i once had 8000 ish armor and 600ish resists will do any good if it sacrifies too much DPS - because it will virtually impossible to take stuff down, right now it is already impossible to take down treasure goblins (with 3 people simultaneously DPSing!) probably because my current 30k is not enough!

If people cant take down a treasure goblin...it should give an idea about what DPS would be needed to even halfway make it through the game....i'd say my above figure of 45k might not even be enough, at least for II/III...
Flexy I appreciate your reply. I thought I had a good weapon.. least they go for 500-1M @ auction house.


By far best I found and could afford. Anyway I will try and follow your advice but I need cash and lots of it. I screwed around with smithing and was that ever a waste. 2-3M down the drain for all Sh*t. I'm in act 2 (with my 2 sons) and we do better as a team but solo we get totally wrecked.

It is wrong that you need to buy a authenticator to use the money AH if you got hacked. I can't rember if I used my email I probly did. But there should be a problem using my email for for the game the asked for. I got hacked by seeing a email for a Beta for the new expansion for WOW. after I clicked on it the next day I was hacked.

I didn't think much or was woried about the email, I have been a lot of beta games and played WOW for a very long time.

It's my understanding that everybody, whether you've been hacked or not, has to use an authenticator to use the RMAH (real-money auction hall). Do you have a smart phone? The authenticator app is free for smart phones (Android, iPhone, maybe others?). Also, there is an Android emulator that can run apps that you can download for free. I heard about it in this thread, but don't know much about it.

you would prob be better off with a higher DPS 1 hander with less stats, you can get those for like 50k, as i said mine is ~790 DPS with a socket and thats it, sitting a 33k now

I'm running the Dushatar build which is:
Archon - improve
Hydra - venom
Energy Armor - force
Magic Weapon - force
Familiar - flint
Arcane orb - tap the source

glass cannon/temporal flux/astral presence

note this build is optimal for 2h'ers with higher weapon damage due to arcane orb spam for big crits 170-200k for me atm.

Im hovering at 50k dps atm (no act 3 inferno farming other than for quest line progress) I'm sure after the IAS nerf my dps will drop by 10k but I plan to replace those pieces with Crit hit damage if the drop is too crazy.

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4552430695 anyways, here is the link to this guys topic/link to his youtube video.

Before I got to this guys video I was at about 600 resist, now I'm down to 300's and going Full pew pew mode.

We will be performing scheduled maintenance for Diablo III starting tomorrow at 3:00 a.m. PDT in order to deploy patch 1.0.3. We anticipate that maintenance will conclude and that all services will be available by approximately 1:00 p.m. PDT.

Important: Please note that you will not be prompted to download patch 1.0.3 until the patch is live in your home region. If you are logging in from a European or Asian client, you will need to wait for this patch to release in that region before it can be installed. Additionally, if your home region is the Americas, you will be unable to log into Europe or Asia using Global Play after patch 1.0.3 is live until those regions have also patched.

For reference, here are the scheduled maintenance times for each region:

The Americas: 3:00 a.m. PDT (6/19) to 1:00 p.m. PDT (6/19)
Europe: 6:00 p.m. PDT (6/19) to 4:00 a.m. PDT (6/20)
Asia: 1:00 p.m. PDT (6/20) to 11:00 p.m. PDT (6/20)
