If your goal is farming then spend that thousand bucks on 15 accounts plus bots and run them all day till they die. Will be way more efficient than putting 1k into one toon to "kill the best" lmao
I'm going to agree with most of the advice in here and say start small. If you've been playing less than 50 hours it's hard to know what you really want.
If your budget is $1,000 you can easily add $20 to the game to buy gold with. That will get you 80m to play with. You can get a very nice set of gear for 80m, and if you blow it on a bad investment? It is worth the education. Twenty out of a thousand is not very much, and it will give you a boost to your performance so you can really experience the game.
lol diablo 3 wasn't worth $60 and yet you're dropping $1,000 on it? I won't be surprise if a month or 2 months later you'll regret what you did.
Also what is this end game you speak of? Farming keys and kill ubers? Diablo 3 has no end game...
Another displeased customer that can't stop visiting D3 fansites.... Why do you complain about how much you dislike the game and piss in the pool of the people enjoying the swim?
Right so me stating that this game wasn't worth $60 is complaining and saying that doing uber runs repetively is also complaining? Make sense before saying anything. The fact is that games that are similar to this game, again let me say this again, games that are similar as in not exactly the same, aren't that high. PoE and torchlight 2 were games I've played and I've enjoyed playing PoE more than torchlight and diablo 3, yet PoE is free as of now. I'm also stating this so people like inglewood doesn't drop $1000 on a game that its all about pay to win, as in no skills required, as in doesn't take a rocket scientist to just level your paragon levels to 50+ where items drop for you to either use or trade. And not to mention that the fastest way to level up your paragon is doing act 3 runs on MP0-MP2 with mediocre gears. So when I said that the game isn't worth $60 and all you do is run uber bosses plus level paragon, you don't need to drop $1000 for that.
The best geared players in the world are not farming MP10 (unless key farming).
For farming paragon levels, the most efficient MP usually MP0. This is because lets imagine a mob has 100HP and you have 100Damage per hit, it will take you 1 hit to kill that mob. Lets imagine that the mob give 100XP. (All these numbers are made up btw for the example). This means if you kill 100 mobs an hour, you gain 10,000 xp.
If you switch to MP1, the mobs have 150% HP. So in this example they have 150HP. You are still doing 100 damage which means it will take you 2 hits to kill the mob. It basically takes you 2x the speed to kill each mob, but you gain LESS than 2x the benifits. Even with 1.0.7 the gain is not 100% per MP level. So with the current numbers of 10% bonus EXP, you will get 110XP per kill. However because it took you 2 hits not 1, you can only kill 50 mobs per hour. This means your xp/h on MP1 is 50x110 = 5,500xp.
As you can see, MP0 was giving you 10kXP/hour but MP1 was giving you 5.5k/h. Which means MP0 is better. Because of the way the scaling works, even with the BEST gear in the game, you will never be able to reach MP10 and farm efficiently for paragon.
(Please note that this is not the only consideration, things like travel time do factor into this and other small factors but this is the basic of the logic)
I know you admit to leaving out some factors but there's still a couple big flaws with the logic you presented.
For one thing, damage output is very random in d3 due to crit chance, crit dmg, and large ranges between min and max dmg on weapons so the 1 hit vs 2 hit example doesn't really ever happen. Because of the randomness, 150% more hp translates into 150% more time to kill on average unless you can kill it in 1 shot with a low roll non-crit.
I can't really comment on monks in particular since I don't enjoy it, but aoe'ing is a big part of efficiency and for some classes/builds if you kill things too quickly then there's no time to regain resources from procs and the whole build falls apart. You need to pick an MP level just high enough that you're not killing things too quickly nor too slowly.
To figure out what's most efficient for you, it's best to keep track of a few runs on different MP levels and see which one gives you the most xp/time or drops/time or whatever you're farming for.
Right cuz I'm the only one that feels that way. You've heard everyone else lovin this game and not said that this game isn't worth $60. Hey I have an Idea, I should make a game that isn't complete and put it up for $60 and see if you buy it cuz that's what blizzard did. And it took them approxamately 8 months for them to say "hey diablo fans we are putting in duel, not pvp, but duel so you can battle each other in the next patch!" Because it takes that long for fans to hear their voice and just implement duel from the get go.
^ troll get out of here seriously:) Don't you have some sisters to abuse or smth
OT : Man spend as little as possible, learn the game play and see if you really enjoy it. You are para 3, you havent even played basically.Reach para 50 then think about what you're gonna do. You can get a gear set that alows you to do Mp1 with your eyes closed for 10 mil if you know what you're buying. (hell I've done a set that allows you to do that for 1mil, a month ago , so that set is prolly worth ~300k right about now ).
There is trully no sense in spending that large a chuck'o'moneehh on a game that is based on finding gear to sell/to wear.300 is way too much.You are going to get some pieces of gear that in order to upgrade them you would need 2bil+ gold per piece.And most likely you arent going to find so many 2bil stuff to sell.So take it easy and enjoy the ride.

Speaking the facts makes me a troll lol. Hey buddy go to twitch tv or onw3d and see how people level up their paragon or google it.

That's 100% wrong.
I farm MP10 all the time. Anything else is out of the question. I did low mp for paragon lvls ofc, but now the only challenge is MP10. And look at Invis and other streaming monks. They do MP10 100% of the time when farming.
djxt22 I understand you're disappointed with this game and many people are. A lot of people actually enjoy it though. It's true that it doesn't live up to the expectations of a lot of players, me included, but people are different. Just please, don't waste your energy on this.
Yea, funny thing about anything really is, the more you try to help people, others nag on you as if you're wrong.
