Due to the new buffs to Act 1 Inferno, I'm thinking of rolling something other than a WD to just smack the crap out of Act 1/2 for gear upgrades to sell on the AH.
In your guys opinions, what do you think is the fastest clearing toon for Act 1/2. I was thinking it would probably be between Barb or DH. Thoughts?
Assuming all classes equal...
DH has the highest movement speed, coupled with barb. These both can keep up +50% speed almost indef.
WD has the worst movement, only getting 1 ability that kinda speeds them up a little for a very VERY short time.
Wizard and Monk are both in the middle. Monk gets +25% movement for as long as spirit holds up, along with teleport attacks, Wizard gets Wormhole Teleport.
DH's strongest attack(nether Elemental Arrow) pierces indefinitly. Wizard's are similar. Monks and Barbs require you to get into melee range, which can be an issue. WD's pets are pretty powerful once you gear up enough, and with the coming survival buff, may actually be a fast way to clear acts.
2 hand barbarian has an awesome killing speed in act 1+2, but he is very expensive compared to demon hunter when it comes to gearing him to tackle act 1 efficiently.
Mine kills most white mobs with 1 cleave and elites usually die within 10 seconds in act 1,
But then again, i have invested at least 20-30 million on him
Yeah, I have roughly 40 million to spend when one of them hits 60, So money really isn't the issue, just trying to get some insight from other players as to what would klll/move the quickest. Yeah, DH is the fastest, but the Barb has their plus sides as well.
I would go for barb now, the inferno changes will make it much easier for us in close combat, act 1+2 will be such an easy farm with a 2 handed barb, and act 3+4 will be quite doable as well, i can manage most elite packs in act 3 at the moment.
Demon hunter is much cheaper to gear up, but barb is more satisfying in my opinion, and the killing speed is ultra fast with good gear.
DH is indeed very fast. One and a half hour after i reached lvl 60, act 1 was cleared, and im now working on act 2. Just killed Magda. I've spend aprox 1 mil on gear so far.
lol'd, if you can manage act 2 with 1 mil in gear, then the OP should go DH. Barbarian is allot more expensive. And even with expensive gear act 3 and 4 can be quite a pain. I reckon DH's won't like the elite lickers in a3 tho, but heh.. we all have our banes.
I hate those lickers with so so much hatred. They are the bane of my WD.
I highly doubt you are doing anything in Act 2 Inferno on a DH with 1 million gold worth of gear. If you are, you literally are the luckiest person alive to have had all those amazing drops, and should probably go play the lottery or something =)
if you have all that money you can just buy what you want on the AH and not need a farming toon
40 mil is nothing. I know people who have dropped over a billion gold on gear. 40 mil won't even give you a character who can handle Act 4 efficiently. You can go full tank barb, and probably handle all of a4 - but incredibly slowly. You might be able to make a glass cannon DH, but die if anything glances at you.

My Barb is 56 and my DH is 33, so trying to figure out which one to level first, in case the patch hits this Tuesday.

IMO: DH is the way to go. Barb if you like melee.

Where would I find this? Sorry, not much a clue what you are talking about.
Check your message box btw.
