Like most people I'm reading through the threads looking at people struggling who have 5x better gear than me. So what are you farming over and over to afford this stuff?
I just started Act2/Inferno and getting my butt handed to me. Should I keep farming the imprisoned angel run back in Act 1?
Seems like the new patch even nerfed good farming capabilities with the costs of repairs...
Until now I farmed a3 inferno a week for almost 24/7 and I think I got 3(yes 3) items I could sell 100k gold+. My full auction house tab is full of 5-20k gold items sold since 16th june.
If you're having trouble killing things past Act 1, then just farm in Act 1 until you get enough money to buy better gear. Farming gear to sell can be a grind, but eventually you will get lucky and get a nice roll on an item that will sell for multiple millions.
Make sure you are building for both damage and survivablity.
I recommend roughly 40-50k hp. At least 17k damage (prioritize critical chance and critical damage followed by IAS). At least 600 resists via OWE stacking. A solid LoH 1h and a shield with a high block% and block value w/ +crit chance. 6500+ armor.
Once you have some variation of the above stats you should be able to breeze though Act 2 and a large portion of Act 3/4. The harder packs in Act 3/4 will likely require higher resists and damage.

This is what it seems like everyone is saying, but damn, it must take forever to get gear like that. I think my resits are in the 200's if I'm lucky. About 14k DPS with buffs and 32k HP.
I clear it ~5-6x as fast(it takes me 15 minutes to get 5 stacks, kill 10 packs, and kill butcher. It takes me ~1.5 hours+ to do the same in Act 3 with Azmodan.), I can wear full dps gear, and it's quite frankly a lot more fun (face it - doing 80k DPS and 1shotting champion packs is a hell of a lot more fun than 40k repair bills every game...because even if you don't die - your shits yellow after that time)
You'll get gear, just keep going. Don't forget, their time frame for people just starting into act 1 inferno is 1 upgrade per 8 hours of solid farming. After you're fully upgraded from that, 16-24 hours per upgrade. etc etc. This IS a farming game, don't forget.
Hey buddy do it the cheap and easy way, buy gold find gear off of AH and go to Rakki's crossing in NM mode and kill everything and the gold triples in amount. You'll be able pick up a good 900-1.2k gold in nm with easy mobs. You dod this for like 2 hours you'll have 300-400k in your account in no time. and yeah that's it lol.
