I've seen some charts made that show with gear you can't get any higher than 256% pre-NV, but not confirmed by myself. But here is the chart

http://www.d3rmt.com...maximum-values/

Looks like you're missing topaz in the helmet: Radiant Star Topaz would add another 31%, giving 287% for a weapon+shield user, which matches what I always heard was the maximum.

If anyone actually does have 318%, without NV, without follower (as Wransik claims in post #4), I'd like to see a profile link.

http://eu.battle.net...4/hero/15888952 there you go, and that's with a crappy gem. No set rings as well which would boost to a total of 330 which is the absolute max before NV and without follower.

318 MF with only 390 INT and a 496 DPS weapon....what are you farming with all this MF exactly?

Not trying to be rude, I'm honestly curious. I can see maybe Nightmare farming, maybe Hell farming if you farm the earlier acts perhaps? I really don't know what's capable with that quality gear. That being said, I can't believe Inferno is possible with that setup.

Well, with the changes to these pets, along with the general changes happening to the monsters (less health on elites, reworked fire chains and shielding, the removal of invuln minions etc), I can effectively see the WD becoming one of the most powerful farmers in Inferno. Perhaps not the most efficient (I have a hard time seeing anything being as efficient as a fully geared WW barb) but probably one of the safest.

With enough defensive stats, it sounds like a WD can have his pets tank for a team of 4 relatively easily, all the while dishing out some decent DPS and other control abilities.

I'm half curious about a health regen build. It sounds like with enough defensive stats and some stacked health regen, pets could damn near become unkillable. I'll have to play with some numbers to see what is possible.

Words......cannot......describe.....awesomeness!!!!

"Ah, my young apprentice, even we have myths dat are only known ta us. It is said dat da great Witchdoctor Penkac once battled hordes of demons wit' nothing but da blowgun in his hand and da trusty frog, Binkles at his side. After 4 days and 4 nights, da demons lay dead at his feat and our hero was victorious. However, da battle proved too perilous and shortly after, Penkac succumbed to da wounds. As for da frog, Binkles, we cannot say for certain.

However, if you be true to da voodoo, it's been said dat you can summon da great Binkles in times of extreme danger and peril. He appears on da battlefield and when da fighting be over, disappears without a trace. If you eva be fortunate enough ta conjure up dis legendary creature, count your blessings for da voodoo bein' kind to ya dat day."

"Adria? Of course I remember Adria. She was a beautiful woman that lived on the outskirts of town before Tristram was destroyed by demons. However, her reputation outweighed her beauty. Perceived as a witch by the town; she was always brewing potions and writing magical scrolls, selling them to warriors brave enough to venture into the depths of the cathedral and battle the forces of hell. Beyond that, most of the townsfolk kept their distance.

Always with her was this strange, abnormally large frog. Some believe it was simply a pet. Others believe that it was something more sinister.

Barnaby Kinkle, a good drinking buddy of ol' Farnham, disappeared suddenly from Tristram without a trace; never to be heard from again. Barnaby was a good man, always lightened everyone's mood at the Tavern of the Rising Sun. Ogden told me once that Barnaby was the only thing that kept Tristram cheerful in those dark days. At first, most believed that Barnaby simply wised up and left town before things turned for the worse. However...

The story goes, as coincidence would have it, the very next day after Barnaby's disappearance; Adria set up her hut just outside town. Of course, along with Adria was that strange and peculiar frog. Now here's where things get a bit interesting. Barnaby always wore red and yellow. It was an idiosyncrasy of his that many joked about at the pub. The frog just happened to be a red frog with yellow spots. A strange looking frog around these parts for sure, but the coincidences don't stop there.

When Adria first appeared, I welcomed her to Tristram. During our conversations, I asked her about the frog. What can I say, curiosity has always been a weakness of mine. With a sly look that I couldn't help but notice, she told me that 'Binkles' was her treasured companion. Aside from it's strange looks, it's name shares a semblance to Barnaby Kinkle. However, no matter how much I tried to uncover some hidden truth about this strange animal, beyond it's appearance it was simply an ordinary frog.

As you have likely guessed, the rumors spread throughout Tristram. Many believe that Binkles is in fact Barnaby Kinkle; transformed by the witch Adria, and that it was no coincidence that his disappearance coincided with Adria's arrival. Now I can't say for sure if I believe these rumors or not, but I will say this. I do believe there was something special about that frog beyond it's odd looks. A secret Adria never shared. As to what that secret could have been, we will likely never know.

After Adria died and I took Leah in, I never saw another trace of that frog. It disappeared as effortlessly as Barnaby himself. Something tells me though that the tale of Binkles, The Frog remains unfinished. Unfortunately, I don't believe I'll be around long enough to find out how that tale ends."
