Gear has been updated 8/7 Stats are with Warcry & Enchantress Buffed I have approximately 4 million to spend, all advice welcome!
Hey guys, first off I want to thank everyone of their constant great posts. Because of you all I am now in Act 3 Inferno, however I find myself dying more than I like.
Anyways, what gear should I look to be upgrading first for the biggest bang for my buck? I don't know if I'm struggling due to lack of damage, or lack of defensive stats at this point. Any advice / criticism is welcome!
BUILD (Sprint & Whirlwind)
Whirlwind (Hurricane)
Sprint (Run like the Wind)
Wrath of the Berserker (Thrive on Chaos)
Overpower (Crushing Advance)
Battle Rage (Into the Fray)
War Cry (Impunity)
-Nerves of Steel
-Weapons Master
-Ruthless
What sortve main hand should I look for.. even if I dropped all 4 mil on am upgrade best axe/mace I've seen with comparible loh and crit dmg is only a 100 dps increase
Stats w/ War Cry Up: Armor = 6048 Phys Res = 734 Cold Res = 885 Fire Res = 708 Light Res = 669 Arcane/Holy Res = 669
For the Off-Hand Weap, been looking.. how would this sorta weap stack up for ~800k
get more str... 1200minimum.
play safe, the rest of the stats are good to play through a3
and a pro tip:D keep battle rage always on i died so often when i ww through mobs and rage is empty... then u stand between 50mobs and ure thinking: UPS and down^^....
What pieces of gear should I really be focusing on to upgrade Str? I have approx. 5 mil gold atm.
Yeah I am pretty consistent at keeping battle rage up once I get going.
I actually did the same thing a few days ago. If you just want to clear A3 & A4 Inferno and just skip most of the elite packs you are pretty much good to go. With double/tornado you can just skip through all the mobs. Your stats look pretty fine for that. I guess you can even drop some HP for some DPS or more important Resistance. Maybe look for new gloves and rings. If you just want to survive it is very possible with 17k DPS. 40% CritHit is enough for just keeping your range up all the time - will be harder on the bosses though.
On the gloves you can maybe drop 2% crit and get more AllRes and Fire/Phys Resis for that. These should not be that expensive due to the low crit hit. The first ring looks pretty shitty to me for just clearing A3/A4. Go for some AllRes, CritHit/CritDMG, Vit/Str. Also - to boost your dmg even more - make yourself two 70% critdmg gems for your weapon or even buy them from AH. Not that expensive and you can also reuse them later.
For me it was easier to play with Bash than Overpower, but this is totally up to you. I surely died once or twice in bad situation, but since you can skip so much trash mobs and also very bad elite packs, you can easily but the game from that point. Just try to get this Phys/Fire Res up to 1k and that's fine from there. Even think about dropping some Vit on your chest for some Str, because this surely also gives you some Armor.
You can do it! Have fun.
Thanks for the input - I will have to try that just to clear A3 & A4... but I am definitely interested in farming A3 (at least earlier parts) and have no idea how far off I am from being able to do that.
I would say that you are pretty far off at the moment to make it even close to be worth it. I would go for A1 full farm runs instead in this case. Less repair costs, faster kills, more rares per hour. Sure you will have less ilvl 63 items per run, but per hour you will definitely have more. I know A1 is boring, but it is necessary to be profitable. when you have to repair your whole set once per run you eventually lose around 40K gold per run. If you don't have an item above that to sell after every run, you will pay gold in the long run. That's why it is better to do A1 until you can do A3 safely and comfortably. You will definitely need over 35k+ DPS with the same survivability for doing this. Until then, stick with A1.
Are you playing EU or US?
Im confused.. why not a2
