I dont really play public games... Playing multiplayer though i use the WW build same as solo.
Im the scout, i move so fast and find elites so fast ppl are usually just teleporting to me.
The other day i was happily farming A3 when this nightmare showed up...Had to ditch the MF gear to be able to kill it without dying.
Also the damn thing caught me with WOTB on CD just to make my encounter a bit more cheerful. When it was almost dead the CD expired but then i just finished the job without burning it again...
How about u guys, seen anything as nasty as that lately?
Well since the image is not working (I simply suck at this forum business) It is a Succubus, Frozen, Molten, Plagued and Arcane Enchanted.
Now if anyone will be so kind as to enlighten me how the hell do I do to post a picture here it will be much apreciated.
Effectively, which would be more beneficial, and why? I just want to be able to farm act 3 quickly and comfortably.
Add me ingame and ill help you out.
For a lot less than 50 you can build a farming machine. I know since i got hacked and lost all my gear. Got 50 mil and built it again from the ground up and even turned to be better than before.
I even have a lot of spare gear I used before upgrading that you could magic bullet to your slots for very cheap off me.
Only expensive pieces will be the weapons and the gems that you will prolly have to dig the AH.
Two things should be done, and only for the Red and Yellow gems when socketed to weapons.
Red should have a greater increase in the DMG than currently (say 5x more).
Yellow - just anything useful, like crit chance, atk speed... heck even a proc on hit like stun or freeze would be more useful than crappy dmg to attackers...
Solo I farm 2x faster, get better drops, lvl up faster and die a lot less.
In a group there is always someone who will just run all the way back to the damn dungeon entrance witha mob on his tail, and i either ditch that loot or run all the way back thorugh the dungeon...
In sum, multiplayer is for gimped people that need someone to pull them through, solo is more efficient.
Only way multiplayer can be as rewarding is if you are playing with real good players you know got skill and gear not to make a mess of evertyhing.
Also I simply dont play with anything but DH, WIZ and WW Barbs... there is no reason to play any other class in speedwise farming.
I got one and tested it out.
Sorry I didnt think of removing my weapons though for the DPS increase that would cause.
Anyway they seemed to deal 10% of my DPS per tick to all monsters in the path.
They do not proc anything.
They break environment breakables.
And they are overall better than 95% of the rare boots out there for a WW Barb...
Not better then the ones I got, so in the end I set it for sale in the AH for 20-50 mil and last time I checked it had bids on it alredy..
I tested something last night that seemed promising.
Mirror Image with spectral blades.
Seemed to proc a lot.... but then i died a couple of times to an arcane, plagued, desecrator, fast fallen shaman and was quitting for another run of A3 with the barb....
If I can stop my furious barb farming tonight I might give it another try.
The thing is no matter what we few do it will be like tossing a pebble in the ocean expecting the waves to stop...
But i agree with you in earnest.
Sometimes i look at some item similar to mine and see it listed for 20-40 mil or something... then I evaluate how much I would really like to buy something like it for and set it for much less, for the said example something like 4-8 mil.
It sells very quickly...
I have no way of knowing the guy that listed for 20 sold or not (well maybe I do but it is not like ill set an alarm clock just to check that stuff), but i stand pretty satisfied I got my gold and someone got an item that he will brag for having bought for cheap on the AH.
The sad side of my story is that I myself just dont find deals like this for myself...SO if i need to upgrade I pretty much just wait til my bank allows me to dump 40-50 mil for a single piece...
I noticed that to and as of yesterday i was farming on 375% MF...
Did a single run of act 2 but not a single item i even bothered to stash to consider later... also didnt get any plans (usually got one per run there) and no legendarys either....
Oh btw in the run i Chose the quest to kil Maghda, backtracked to Canyon MInes and from there on I scoured the fricking act of anything that moved....including 3 goblins.
Also I only got 3 Flawless square gems in the whole run.... but the crappy square ones were aplenty.
They did some serious tweaking with the drop tables it seems...
Afaik it's 5% life steal, which would be pretty neat.
It doesn't show up in the stats though, so it's probably wrong. I'd love to see some maths on that life steal ring.
update: I tested it and it was 456 life/s regen when standing near an opponent.
450 HP/Sec is pretty nice...
Ill get one with a socket and ditch my old one with 10% MF on it.

Even pre patch Invul Minions were killable, just required a bit more care and in my case some trash mobs around it.
But there really are some that are just plain annoying... Like Vortex, Jailer, Frozen, Desecrator for example.
Sorry I couldnt link the image, I dont know how to do it.

Oh BTW here is another thread this was discussed for more info: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/66163-tornado-spec-with-new-firewalkers-awesome/page__p__1022407#entry1022407
And also mine had rolled Armor and All res on the random affixes... so yeah they were pretty much perfect.
I feel bad about having solde them already.
