Man, it's rather annoying now that you mentioned. :/
Should've looked after better critical damage weapons, instead of general DPS/life on hit. How do you survive with the 250ish life on hit you have on your monk?
Shinna1989:
Thanks, I grabbed a couple of pieces to Inna's set, I lost some resist but my DPS went up by a good 25%. Also socketed a ruby (+21% XP) to my Inna's helmet, thanks for that.
Fesan:
I've never been a fan of 2 handers. I think I'll stick with my dualwield build. Thanks anyways
ballon:
What exactly do you mean by physical resist being most expensive? I didn't really think of it when I started focusing on physical resist (towards One with Everything), I just had a lot of physical resist on my current items and went on from that. Do you mean people value physical resist over the others, hence the price goes up?
I already got Inna's 2set (decent belt & head) and Echoing Fury with 1050dps/600loh from auction house, as Shinna1989 suggested. Keeping my eye on a second one, trying to outbid it.
Replaced my Andariel's with the Inna's helmet, even though I could easily tank 1 patch of Molten on MP4. I even hit the enrage timer on the Butcher, but survived on the fire floor for a good 15% of his HP thanks to a good usage of cooldowns.
One more question: Is the infernal machine, the uber bosses involved in it or the Hellfire ring with dexterity/vitality worth actually farming for?
Thanks for the tips Shinna1989, Fesan & ballon, much appreciated!
I was one of those guys who really waited for Diablo 3, played it a lot until I got fed up with inferno on my second character (which happens to be a monk, demon hunter was my first). My PC wasn't handling Diablo 3 so well, I had some microstutter during the more combat heavy situations which made it almost impossible the progress act 2.
Now I've started playing a bit more, quite enjoying the Monster Power and Paragon levels giving me something to play for and making it challenging. There's been quite a few changes since I last played, hence I made this thread: to ask if there are any tips you guys can give me, for example..
1. Are there any amazing items (legendaries/set items) I should look after/hunt?
2. Any good farming techniques/routes/tips now with that Paragon levels & MP are in the game?
3. Anything I can improve on my monk? EU fuzzywuzzy#2681 is my tag, can't post any links yet.
4. Ubers? Infernal machine? What are those about? I tried searching the forums to no avail, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, I would highly appreciate it.
5. Any other major changes that I should know about?
Hungering with devouring probably my favourite singletarget. Spray of teeth (with sharpshooter) everywhere else. Sometimes I even go entangling with justice is served for the hatred regen and slow. Nice combo with ball lightning - not very viable singletarget though.
EDIT: Usually run around with hungering (spray of teeth) and elemental arrow (ball lightning) without switching because of Nephalem Valor. If I can switch (no buff for some reason), hungering (devouring arrow) with impale (chemical burn) on bosses.
Keep in mind, for all of you who are whining about inferno difficulty, that Bashiok posted that much much less than 1% had even made it there.
So, stop posting your opinions as *fact*, because, they're just the opinions of the less than 1%.
He retracted this statement, saying he thought of another statistic. Which I assume was hardcore, not inferno. I'm sure a lot more than 1% has made it into infeno. A lot more.
Pretty new to the forums, but christ, you need to chill, Sabvre.
It's selfish to even propose that simply because you've been here the longest, you should earn special priviledges. In my eyes, at least. Plus I'm not sure if Blizzard set any rules on how these keys were to be handed out (probably not, but who knows), could be one reason to justify the "post contest".
It's how the world works, pointless/waste of energy and time to rant about it. No'one makes you come here, though I can appreciate good users as the next lad.
Nice that DiabloFans has gained so much more popularity (in my eyes at least, no statistics to back this up) since it became part of Curse network. Also, loving the new layout and forum software.
I don't count as a new user since I've been a member from '07, just haven't posted. Right? Right?
Been lurking here and MMO-C for a long, long time now and finally decided to set my profile up straight. Thought I'd drop a post here first and not just start randomly posting.
Been jonesing for a key ever since Diablo 3 went into beta, and I'll try my best to get one VIA the current "contest"/giveaway. I'm a pretty stand-up guy, so the quality of my posts should be above average and I hope I can give some valuable input.
Was really hoping DiabloFans IRC would be more crowded, as I love IRC as a way to socialize (if you will) over message boards. Only saw 30ish members in there, though they were really nice. I hope more of you regulars come over to IRC.
I first started with Diablo 2, which probably made me the gamer I am nowadays. I played a lot of it when it was still cool, made a lot of friends, enjoyed it and have a lot of good memories. Next thing happened was World of Warcraft, which I still can remember whining on the general channel of the servers lagging. I played D2 for a while after WoW was launched, then switched into it. "If you can't beat them, join them" pretty much.
Now I've just ended my career of around 6-7 years of on/off World of Warcraft as my guild downgraded to 10man raiding. I've played a lot of different games during my 7 year WoW career, not just WoW.
I like to think I'm a gamer, nowadays I play just mostly random singleplayers I've missed/have not tried out yet (Darkness 2 most recent, Bastion (<- THIS GAME IS GREAT) before that), with some League of Legends, Skyrim and Battlefield 3 in the mix.
Not sure what else to tell, I rather not get into personal details as I'm rather paranoid.

1.9% have unlocked inferno. I expected it to be closer to 6%. Good read.

100% theoretical build, don't have access to beta yet but this is what I would imagine an ideal Witch Doctor spec to be in an everyday PvE spec.
