I was in the same position as you not long ago. Still trying to improve the build/gear.
However just wanna share a good advice given by a fellow player friend. Set a budget of MAX $1m on each item. This should provide a viable upgrade, as at the same time will avoid paying too much for one item just in case it was a mistake buy.
It's really demoralising when you play co-op and the team posts their legendary loot ever so often.
Last night my heart skipped a beat when a Brown dropped off a mob. But disappointment set in when i realised it's an amulet, and even more so when it's Mara's Kaleidoscope. A measly +80 stat boost on every base stat and boost a random skill. Don't understand why this is a "legendary" when only 2 stats really matter.
Thanks for your input.
I can't do much to the boots since the equivalent to the AR costs a bomb in GAH. Changed the Belt though.
But followed your advice and used MoE/Ht and enchantress...did boost the survivability a bit. Act 3 still require some deaths per elite pack especially those in Tower.
I've recently only found out about this site, it's awesome. Previously only read the battle.net forums mostly crowded with WTS posts.
Ok onto the problem . I am having a problem trying to achieve a proper DPS for scaling Act 3. I felt that I've tried many combinations after reading all the useful 50k/60k help guides .....i've tried increasing crit chance and crit dmg.....but somehow dps is not moving up.
Tried a 2H but the loss of shield, resist and attack speed made my toon die too often leading to a net gold loss after repairs.
Some suggest dropping the shield for dual-wield, but that makes no diff since loss of CC > increase in CD and AS.
I've got a 3-4million budget left.
