Don't need to be so literal. I am talking pre dupe and I am sure it is going to be lower after the AH is back up. Regardless, it doesn't take any pertinence away from what I said except that I was being to zealous.
Pre-patch the floor was 0.25c per mil after the patch its 0.25c per 10 mil. How is that a profit..you will see gem gold prices rise because gems are the real currency in game and gem prices fall on the RMAH. MOST of the people playing will not use 3rd party sites to cash out so they buy the only thing that is sure to sell and thats gems to cash out. Gem prices will stabilize at a new level in comparison to what gold is selling on the RMAH for and the cycle of gem flipping will still continue. And STILL the economy will be fine.
30m sells for like 1$ now, after taxes, it's more like 70c. Not sure how that's a profit.
Thats now ...back when it was .25c per million you could bank billions flipping gems..and how was that economy prior to patch 1.0.8..just freaking fine.
Everyone...relax...take a deep breath and stop posting "R.I.P. Diablo 3" threads @ Bnet. A bit melodramatic, aye?
This
I could care less. Ill still be able to find great deals, Ill still be able to sell stuff..and oh yeah you have been able to flip the shit out of gems for months now, buy for 0.80c and sell for 30mil sell the gold you made wash/rince/repeat and what happened to the economy absolutely not a damn thing.
That is most certainly not correct!
MP10 Areas are good because you kill only low lvl creatures like shadows/spiders they die easy. You skip everything else.
On lower MP it is more worth it to kill elites, Bonus XP from NV.
Those are 2 completely different play styles and thus areas played are the different.
Thats kinda my point. In higher MPs people will skip elites and just kill white trash. But on lower MPs you run the same high density white trash route and kill the elites also. So whats the difference besides skipping elites on any given route.
I personally use Quickening. I need the mana regen to spam my Overawe Mantra and Cyclone. Im very surprised you dont see alot more of people using Cyclone.
....and you use it quite well . I've played with Gangus several times and his CS build paired with my X-palm/Backlash means mowing through MP9 like a fucking boss. He bundles them with great skill, and the AoE damage from Backlash and EP is just off-the-charts when monsters are packed like sardines from CS..
I've been trying for a little while to make Deadly Reach work in place of FoT, but it's just not allowing me full up-time for double Overawe buff while spamming EP tags. I've switched to FoT/Quickening myself, and I'm able to spam EP at will while easily maintaining full Overawe up-time.
I get my DPS buff from Flesh Is Weak....I just don't have the nads to go without Serenity like Gangus does. To his credit, he doesn't die very often at all.
IMO Thunderclap is sloppy due to it's teleport, which often sucks you into undesirable positions.
I personally prefer Cyclone Strike with the 34yd radius Rune because its so easy to keep your Mana and health up and increases effeciency greatly when doing runs. Whats nice with CS is that if Plague/Desocrate/Archane is dropped its simply a matter of moving one step over, apply CS and continue hitting mobs. The only disadvantage to CS is that it wont work on the large Monsters and Some Champions(Gold Only). It works for all Blues and other monsters and is great for those running Pig Bastards and the Flying Whores in Act 3 or any ranged attacker.
What I have done on solo is added the Freeze Bow/Amulet to my Scoundrel and stacked AS on him. This nearly perma freezes things and when you can suck them all up to you I can apply AoE damage very effectively. Ive augmented this by adding a Sweeping Winds Buff Innas Helm to add just that much more damage.
Doing this Ive been able to ditch my Serentity and currently run MP9 with 1 or 2 deaths usually to some Vortex/Walling/Archane mob but Im completely fine with that. I run with the Resolve Passive because that damage reduction is huge when using CS because Im literally surrounded by mobs that Im doing damage to so they all suffer a 20% Damage Reduction which essentially is a 20% armor buff for me. Doing this I can run with a very low armor, currently 3500 unbuffed, and get items very cheap on the AH to help my character because Im not trying to stack armor on everything.
What Ive been thinking of is dropping my Ways of a Hundred Fist for Exploding Palm in conjunction with CS but Im worried that the loss of the AS buff may hurt me to much. Being able to run both CS and EP is a faceroll on any MP. I noticed that running with RuksaK. We completely dominate in our runs.
One would assume if its the best area for MP10 it should be good for lower MPs. Personally I can wait to be able to run high Mps on any Act and get the mob density of Act 3.
I personally use Quickening. I need the mana regen to spam my Overawe Mantra and Cyclone. Im very surprised you dont see alot more of people using Cyclone.
Using that build I farm MP9 very effeciently and was ablo to drop Serenity Breath Of Heaven/Blazing Wrath for a DPS boost.
Ive tried BL but I run out of Mana way to quickly.
I wouldnt worry about your bracers. They need an AR roll but they arent horrible. Id be crafting amulets first(you can do much better) and then gloves, again you can do much better than what you have.
You also really need to look at getting more LS. As your DPS goes up LS is crucial if you plan on doing high MP's.
You cant go wrong with a high Vit Tal-Rasha. Also on the helm I went with a 6% CC Innas to give me my set bonus and it gave me a much better increase in DPS over the 269 Dex/9 AS Mempo I was using. You can stack AS on so many other items weaps/Rings/Gloves etc I found it a waste on a helm as it was way to pricy for 9AS/6CC Mempo.
My only other advise is craft, craft, craft. You will get upgrades but dont let yourself get frusterated. Its still wayyyy cheaper than buying items with those stats if they can even roll them. If you are using OWE try crafting for the All Resist stat on items. This can allow you to ditch OWE and open up that passive slot for another DPS boost. Look for crafted items with AR and Fire or Phys resistance.
Look at my gear to see the direction I chose and other options available. I dont use OWE or STI and my Guardians Path passive is really and extra passive for me that I switch out to Fleet Footed if Im farming alone. I farm MP8 quite easily and when in a party with friends we roll MP9 or 10. I need the challenge or I get bored.
The best part is all the tough boys behind there keyboards would never say these things if they were facing that person face-to-face.
Honestly, I think the best things are the sweeping generalisations.
Really? Tell you what next time your at the store and its taking just a little to long to check out why dont you tell the cashier "You slow stupid fucking c--t cant you go any faster!!" Let me know how that works out for you. Oh wait of course you wouldnt say that because she is standing there staring you in the face.
Most people act completely different with people online vs. face-to-face. How do I know....lets see if I accidently bump into someone in the store I say excuse me, or they say excuse me. I dont really starting rattling off "Why dont you watch were the fuck your going you blind fucktard."
You know, I'm done with it. Some of you fan boys are too brainwashed to even carry on a valid discussion about this subject.
LOL statement of the day. Now your a fanboy for not wanting TO DEAL WITH cursing in-chat. Why do people feel the need to curse away in chat? Personally I think it makes you look stupid. Id personally like the option to turn off in-game chat completely. The fact someone needs to roll off a round of profanities for some dumb reason like they died or to tell someone to shutup and just play the game makes me chuckle.

To sum up how I play....
Run into group of badguys
Fire off Way of A Hundred Fists
Hit my Breath of Heaven
Hit my Mantra of Conviction
Hit my Sweeping Winds
Hit my Cyclone
Then...
Its Way of a Hundred Fist once to keep the 3 stack
Overawe
Cyclone
Breath of Heaven as needed
Repeat until all monsters are dead move to next group repeat.
Personally I love the play with it. Works wonders especially in group play.
