Man, it's amazing how much an influx of gold can reinvigorate your play. I got my first legendary at P14, sold it for 40m, and proceeded to use the profits to buy 3 pieces that took my monk DPS from 38K to 55K, all while increasing my movement speed to +24% and resistances by about +100.

Now I'm just wrecking most packs on A3 where before a lot of encounters were extremely perilous.

Man, you guys are incredibly lucky. I have 165 hours logged on my monk and have found 2 legendaries my entire time playing, and one was level 37 Boj Angles boots that I found when I was like, 45.

How are you guys getting so lucky with so little MF? The universe is just simply unfair dag nabbit.

Just remembered... Is there any way to change mouse sensitivityin this game, or at least turn off the variable sensitivity?

I can't stand how the mouse sensitivity goes way down once you go near menus. It's awkward and has probably contributed to my wrist feeling strained having to move twice as much.

Never experienced that. My mouse moves the same, in menus or not. Something else is amiss here.

Bnet forums say that the 1.04 patch screwed up mouse sensitivity and it can be "fixed" if you change your Windows font size back to small/default - 24" 1920x1200 monitor = no way.

Had no idea and haven't experienced it myself, so it must be something software/hardware specific related causing it.

BattleNet forums is like The Barrens of the internets. I don't go there unless I'm feeling particularly masochistic. >.>

How long did that take you?

I usually take an evening (~4 hours) to get one level, but I usually stick to Act 1 and 2 where deaths only happen if I do something stupid. Act 3 still results in more dying than I can stand.

Okay, have drops been gimped in the past day or two? I got virtually nothing that was even worthy of being put on the AH for 5k gold yesterday. And weapons with more than 900 dps (1H and 2H) seem to be dropping with less frequency.

About seven hours for 24-28. I hit 31 tonight. It was fun with other people in the game with me, stuff did not die as fast of course.

I talked a tank Barb into totally changing into a WW Barb and we wrecked Act 3. He caught on quick and we flew through stuff.

alright, now I"m done. I've played about 30 hours post-patch and found 0 legendaries. The thing is, I can't even use AH anymore. low-decent items are cheaper than ever. Great, I already have decent items on my characters. High end items have never been more expensive. So how do you get the gold to buy high level items? The typical items you're going to put on AH now get you what, 50k? 100k? You need upwards of 30M for high level stuff now.

I put up i63 bracers with IAS/MF/AR/Crit Dmg, figured I'd get a few million for them. Nope, chopped the price down to 1M. No bids. 500K. Nothing. 100K. Nothing. Currently up for 1500. No bids. Which is another thing that baffles me with this game. How come some people can put things up and get 10s of millions for them, while other people put up the same item repeatedly and get no bids? I searched for items with similar stats to mine, and the lowest I found was around 5M. Yet I can't even get 20K for them. So done with this shit.

The part I liked about D2, yeah you could go a few days, or even a week or so without finding useful gear for any of your characters. In D3 I've gone 3 months without finding anything useful for any of my characters. OK, fine, so they have AH, that remedies the dry spell problem...except it doesn't. Because to find anything useful you have to pay 10s of millions of gold for it. Except you can't GET gold because you can't sell anything on AH because A)Your stuff doesn't sell for some reason or B)You just don't find anything useful.

I'm done. Uninstalling this game. Won't be playing any more no matter how much they patch it. Won't be buying any expansions. Won't buy another Blizzard product. Awful.

what are people picking up when they farm? just the yellows? no blues? maybe just the legendaries for some of our luckier folks?

picking up gems? tomes?

edit: also, can someone point me to "the best" guide on making a sprint whirlwind barb?

I would love for the game to auto pick up flawless gems and tomes. It would be so much better.

I only pick up rares. I took some friends through the path I take now and they find tons of items and are enjoying the game more. They only grabbed rares as well.

I want to try selling some stuff one last time before throwing in the towel, can I get an estimate on the worth of any of these? Also will take offers via PM

Sword definitely has value even if its not selling. Vendor the rest. I would mess around with the 2 hander on barb for a few minutes before admitting its just not good enough. Ring is good for tanks, but why tank when you can overpower the game with absurd damage.

I'm pushing 70k on my WW barb, its starting to get stupid easy. If I was at 200k dps I don't know if I would even bother loading up the game with nothing to upgrade.

How do you make a WW barb? Could you post a link to your char? I'm stuck around 28-30K dmg on my barb


I can't even find something on AH that matches the stats of the sword...kind of getting excited

As a WW Barb, the dps on your character sheet is irrelevant. It is absolutely nowhere close to being correct. Look at my post a few posts up and check my armory. That is my build and the sheet says 68k. When I hit a pack of enemies, my dps is in the hundreds of thousands. You have to make a Barb to understand.

I had a tank Barb in my group redo to a WW build and his character sheet said 32. He was mowing down everything in his path.

The sword is decent - you should get atleast 1 Mil for it. DPS is too low and no open socket is keeping it from being 10 Mil+.

Weapons with those stats are a dime a dozen. I mean it is hard to get 190 str on a sword but I rather have an open socket and 200 more DPS than an extra 50 to my primary.

I cross checked the AH and 1-2 Million sounds right for the sword. LOH and DPS is holding it back from being more.

Yea for instance look at Alkaizer's barb. He is using an off hand with 317 DPS. Top 5 barb for sure - first to level 100:

Put a shield on and have over 1500 life on hit. You can WW with that or Bash him to death.

Um......I had a friend ask if I'd mind doing some A3 with him. I went to make a game and when I try it says I"m back on A2, at the Lord of Lies quest. So it erased my progress through A3 I had made. SO glad I'm done with this piece of shit game. I'm not even sure how that's possible. It's not like I just beat belial and then quit out. I was a couple quests into A3.

You have to finish major quests and checkpoints. It doesn't save partial progress.
