Since profiles have been released parsing websites have started gathering data that can be sorted by rank.
Game is release in May 15.
That means 87 days. Without taking into account maintenance and downtime, let's round it up to say 90 days.
That's 90 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes = 129,600 minutes give or take.
130k minutes since game release
200k elite kills
Also, some players are coming up to 400k elite kills.
The bots are blatantly obvious, theres literally thousands of accounts with highest progression Act4 Hell, 100s of thousands of elite kills, all gear is Gold Find and is mostly crap ( as its found loot and never bought ).
This is hardly shocking info, what drives me nuts, is anyone can see the bots, clear as day, and this info just got made public, Blizz has had this info for months.
This clearly shows, Blizz does not care about bots, beyond a token banning of the newbie botters and those using the mass-released bots/scripts.
Yes but I run as co-op, 3 man team, I run full MF 333%, my DH mate runs ~200 odd but has a solid 50k dps. And we have a CM wiz in full AR/int gears who makes it possible.
Im the buff bot, I rock bone chill frost nova, time warp slow time and the arcane debuff arcane torrent.
We have got incredible loot this way. ( I have 2 stormshields in 2 days, and 2 perfect roll DH and Wiz gloves ( crit dmg, crit % and primary stat and vit ). And a shield for wizards I sold a few days ago for 60mil.
Thank you for your feed back. Do you think there is anyone who can run full mf gear solo? maybe a tank docta or barb?
I would say barb, due to the armor, of course the gear would be ridiculously expensive, you'd need AR and max MF on pieces + str and vit, how much AR you need is debatable tho, need to see some theorycraft numbers to be sure.
So basically range, DH would probably be the best, due to the range, being able to fire from nearly an entire screen away, but then again for solo, fast affix will run you down with ease.
But my pick would be WD, highest possible MF, wall of the dead, invuln spirit walk, a tank WD would be the best for MF and gear price imo, and enough cyclable cd's to survive without the AR.
Mage is another winner, thanks to FA: Energy, needs no resists and can just stack MF, INT and VIT.
To successfully max MF and not get pwned, you need MASS primary stat. ~200 int/str/dex on everything ( or as close as you can get ), this way you can win by outdpsing the elites before they kill u.
And thats why barb is awesome, shout, ignore pain til enough rage to WOTB and they all die from WOTB frenzy and revenge spam before it wears off, and you don't need ridiculously priced WW/sprint gear to pull it off.
Forget everything else, if you can get the crit n crit dmg on rings/neck/gloves/bracers.
But yea, focus on 200+ int ( ideally, I began with 100-150 odd int vit on everything ) 200+vit gear with 20% MF ( or cap 18% for rings, 40% for neck)
I do this and farm Act 3 with Blizz/hydra build. I use force armor energy ( hence the mass VIT ). Illusionist and teleport fracture.
I farm Act 3 every day with MF cap for wiz ( actually I think im 3% shy ).
The cheapest/easiest way to do it imo.
OR buy CM/WW gear with MF cap on it, but yea, thats barely existant/millions upon millions worth of gold.
An alternate way of doing it, is being buff bot. This is the quickest farm method imo but takes friends / co-op games.
Get skills that buff your team, wear max MF, and choose all survival passives ( blur, evocation, CM ).
This makes you a burden in co-op games and you might get booted, or you might luck into a party with a WW barb or CM wiz with over 70k dps, in which case they will appreaciate your added MF to their RNG.

When we did this last night the monk was like, stop freezing him you need my dps, but the other wiz just lol'd and we had this hilariously long fight with endless monk rage, best seigebreaker run ever.
I had a tank wizard. I stacked resistances and armor, had a board and helm of the command, decent string of ears.
I had mirror immage, duplicates and illusionist, energy armor (started with force armor but swapped to several others when i had some better gear). My damage was really low but once i used damage reflect on diamond skin and meteor - comet (cause it is very good with life on hit) I did some decent damage. Very fun build, but it can't kill stuff as fast as Archon, thats why i only use it sometimes in groups bt hardly ever for solo farming
TBH the CM wiz build is by far the best tank build in the game, because it sticks the mobs to the floor so they don't get loose and aggro on your dps.
Check it out sometime, its slow, but fun, and does crazy damage if you have the gear, if you have a CM wiz in your party you can clear Act3 with the lowest possible dps.
Also the reflect diamond skin caps out based on hp now so the shards popping one is way better dps wise now.
NV is what kills the diversity, if I could i'd swap out one or 2 skills per pack depending on affix, it would make the game so much more dynamic and fun, however i'm forced to run with a build that can kill any pack, ie. I have to rock DS incase of reflect dmg, I have to rock energy armor becoz of AR and Inferno's negative resist bonus.
So yea, NV kills build diversity. Its the lock or lose your stack that does it.
When I was playing D2, I was an average to poor player, all my friends were in hell and getting better and better, I didn't get it, ,then one day some random mob dropped a windforce. It changed the game, I became addicted to the item hunt, and my bowazon ( my first toon ) melted everything in sight .
Yeah, how dare blizzard encourage you to farm things other than bosses? I hate garunteed rare drops without having MF gear too. It makes the act of defeating elite packs feel rewarding when all I really want is to make games over and over with the sight of nothing but a single waypoint and the ensuing boss.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go finish my paint-chip dinner.
Blizzard encourages to farm ONLY elites, pigeon-holing for the lose. Lmao, and you claim having guaranteed rare drops without MF is a good system, why not remove MF altogether? MF is so diablo 1-2, move on...

Just click that link, click on any player in the top 1000, under their name click the armory link.
A real slap in the face for the real players.

You might always get suck loot, you might not.
Your chance is higher with higher MF and in a higher Act.

And my friends 200million amulet came from a chest.
You have a better chance off elite thanks to NV and their drop table, but its Diablo, kill everything, loot everything.

So close, yet so far .
When I was playing D2, I was an average to poor player, all my friends were in hell and getting better and better, I didn't get it, ,then one day some random mob dropped a windforce. It changed the game, I became addicted to the item hunt, and my bowazon ( my first toon ) melted everything in sight .
Windforce in D2 changed my diablo life.
This was just mean teasing D2, mean.
