Is AR a must for act 3/4 Inferno farming for a DH?

IMO, there are 3 major ways to play DH:
1. Glass Cannon - no AR, no Vit, no SP/Gloom. Rely on huge DPS and SS/Fog. This is a "poor man's choice" IMO (not to offend anybody, it's just the least gear-dependent option of all 3).
2. Tank - high AR, high Vit, high LoH, shield, maybe Nat's 4P bonus (however, I don't think it's required for a tank DH if you have enough CHC and Night Stalker).
3. Balance - it varies a lot, but the general idea is to have enough EHP to live through at least 1 hard hit or 2-3 medium hits to be able to Gloom-tank sometimes. You achieve that by either stacking Vit or AR or by getting a healthy mix of Vit items and AR items (which is probably the best way as gear with Vit and AR and Dex at the same time costs A LOT). Also, armor is a cheap alternative to AR.

All 3 options are perfectly viable in Inferno. Which one to select depends on your playstyle and how much money you have.

I'm waiting for an official answer from Blizzard before I go into hysterics over something that may or may not be duping. I can assume that if there actually was some duping going on, Blizzard is going to be all over it, find out how it's done, and deal with it, and we'll get some sort of announcement from them soon enough. If you're really that concerned about it, don't use the AH until Blizz confirms or denies that it was in fact duping.

Not the brightest cookie in the jar are you?

You do realize that there is literally no way to outright prevent hacking right? In any software, ever.

Online only means they can identify and actually do something about it when it happens.

Get those knuckles off the ground there bud.

Software 101 stuff here man, maybe you should sell that PC? Obviously you dont quite understand whats going on.

Bump, online in Diablo 3. Will fire the stream up once someone wants to craft.

Did anyone check that link? That's pretty funny if that's how it'd happening. Just a good vendor deal and probably had a train of his friends buying the item?

I found this on d2jsp. As I am at work I am unable to test it.

Anyone care to see if they can reproduce this?

Huh... Thats disconcerting in a way if its true. I've found some good vendor items, but that bow would be nuts off a vendor. Especially for <80k,

Another fuck over the average player buy buying gear he could afford and then resell it 10x higher so he cant afford it. People like this are whats wrong with this game.

Quote from Serpenth

So we all know, this thing is expensive. It's general consensus that this thing is BiS blah blah.

I've read that people have got them for 500k sometimes, yet I'm wondering if it was even worth buying?

Pretty much what I'm wondering is if it's worth bidding on a Stormshield that only has around 20% block. If I can get it between 300k-700k. I've read some places that this item is overrated but I feel like it could be a good buy for where I'm at.

I took a break from beginning of June till about this week, so that's why I'm way behind lol. Anyways, I've been farming Act 1 and I'm in no rush to get into Act 2 because I don't want to struggle. I'm aiming for about 800ish resist all and 10k+ armor, 40k health. I've read this is what is needed to plow through Act II.

So my question given my situation, is a Stormshield with only 20% block worth 300k-700k for my character? I understand at later acts I would need to replace it with a higher block% shield. Thanks

You can also up vote the person who made a good post. No point in posting about it.

You are right. Voted his and your post. Wish I could also down vote stupid posts.

So you're saying A) ilvl 60 items are very good and you are clearing act3/4 with these items? And You're saying that with the tables right now, you're finding the best gear on a regular basis?

I want your luck, really. People are saying Diablo 3 isn't a substitute for a job, but if I would find the best gear on a regular basis, like you claim to do, I'd be a millionaire by now.

Also: I wouldn't mind if Blizzard removed a few possiblities of affixes on some items, no INT on Mighty weapons, no STR on Spirit Stones etc., that said, they shouldn't force the STR on mighty weapons and DEX on Spirit Stones either. Just remove the 1-2 affixes out of the 20+ affix pool and it's already a whole lot better, more importantly: less frustrating.

Wait, what? I think you totally did not comprehend my post. You guys just don't realize the damage that limiting ANYTHING in the item affix pools will seriously change the game play. Here, let me spell it out.

IF DROPS HAD ANY GUARANTEE, AT ALL, EVEN A MINOR ONE, ANY GUARANTEE AT ALL OF NOT BEING SHIT WHEN IT DROPPED THEN THE MARKET WILL BE FLOODED WITH VERY GOOD ITEMS.

When that happens, you can kiss gear progression good bye, there would be no point at all in playing a game based completely on item farming. If you stopped bad primary stats on class gear, that would be bad. If you limited the item levels that could drop by monster level, that would be bad. If you made it so your weapon that just dropped with really good stats always had good damage, that would be bad.

Getting bad items 99% of the time is the WHOLE FREAKING POINT of Diablo 3. Simply because when you DO get that awesome item 1% of the time, it feels epic and awesome and you feel good and you either get rich or become significantly more powerful because of it. I do not see how this is so hard to comprehend. Really guys, stop crying about bad items, they will not and should not go anywhere.

If you don't understand that concept by now, there really is no hope left for you, you really should find another game to play.

Why do you spend so much effort into writing such a good reply? These ignorant posters are here because they want to cry and will probably never understand the philosophy of Diablo. Diablo was and is a farming game. Nothing more. Play it or not.
