The woman tanks and the man shoots from behind. Humm, interesting ...

Bad luck, you both need dex. Maybe he is the problem not dealing enough dps. That's his job. DH absolutely need Crit damage (and chance).

12k dps is still a bit low. 20k seems more what you need to have. Farm hell till you have enough surivability in Inferno. You might farm 50k each hour each of you I think and some good objects to equip or sell.

Grinding doesn't seem to give enough gold in relation to repairs to really buy anything much better than what I have now. I am in act 2 and only got so far and now getting owned. I lost a ton of money throwing myself at the Butcher, which didnt really help. Decent weapons seem to cost around the million mark, so unless I find something really decent soon to sell on the AH I guess hoping for a good weapon in act 1 is the way to go. What dps weapon do I need to hit 26k? My resistances are between 288-300+ so at least that is doing ok.

I played briefly with a mate last night and he bought me a 1k damage wep on A?H for 40k. This shifted my dps from 11k to 16k. So they are out there if you look, he took all of 1 minute to find it. Just narrow your search. I will find some better gear, just hate looking for so long.

Basically botters have tight control of the gold AH. So much so that blizzard have had to nerf a ton spots. The thing is, botters are not just you and I who write a program, its the serious botters that are the issue. People who buy 100+ accounts and leave em on overnight. Blizzard have been unable to catch these people and ban em, so instead they nerf all the botter farm spots. Furthermore, botting is supremely easy, I learnt how to use autohotkey and wrote a script to run royal crypts in 1day as well as a script to run Dank Celler in 1 day. Here are a few examples of farm spots that got nerfed.

1. Royal Crypts - I was netting 600k an hour (i only had it running one night cause it was the thrill of writing a script more than botting that I was interested in). People with good gold find gear and more efficient bots were netting 800k+. Blizzard nerfed the gold drop rate, and increase repair costs.

2. Dank Celler - This place was a 400-500k an hour run, so they nerfed the spawn rate of dank celler, if I leave my bot running with my GF gear I still make 200k an hour from it.

3. Act IV vase farming (gardens tier 1 i believe) - High drop rate for legendaries/rare/gold just by breaking the vases. I never wrote a bot for this place but you would just go in go up break vases, go south, break vases, leave game having your character pick up loot (really not hard to write).

Imagine these farm spots, done on 100 computers...thats alot of gold right? This is only half the problem, and blizzard failed to address it in time as gold farmers have already made TONS upon TONS of gold doing this. When they nerfed everything, it made it harder for casual players to make gold from the game, as players were doing things like this legitimately without botting in order to get gold to buy items on the AH, which is the next step in botting controlled market.

The gold AH is full of botters too! Its even more simple to write a script for the gold AH, but requires some market savvy. Basically (i didnt do this but seen videos), the script would just set your stats required, put a low buyout and buy what was there if the buyout low enough. I've seen bidding bots too. The main point is there are bots that out bid and buyout human players on good deals. Botters grab these items and resell at ridiculous profits. Furthermore, the influx of gold gotten by the botters from there 100+ accounts allow them to buy out entire markets and resell at a higher price.

Blizzard never have addressed this issue. The botters are making less than before, but still no risk gold gain is still worth it. Im sure there are other farm spots that botters have that are not shared and make tons of gold.

TLDR: Botters abused poor blizz mechanics, got a crushing advantage over the entire playerbase in gold and item control. Blizzard nerfs didnt fix problem, at best they stagnated it.

I was going about on my adventures. Saving Sanctuary, finding treasure and enjoying my friendly banter with the Eirena.

Then I met her.

I could not peel my eyes of her voluptuous body. She whispered into my ear, telling me of things that we could do together...

In a room...

On a bed...

Without our clothes...

I was under her spell, seduced, and willing.

Until she told me her name.



"I THOUGHT WE COULD HAVE BEEN FRIENDS!!!!" I screamed with a rage so loud. Her spell was broken.

The Gods of Ivgorod heard me, she cannot win.

I have a few items that seem to be hard to value (ie range greatly). Anyone care to enlighten me as to thier worth.

My thoughts are:

• Wardens Guards: 500k - 1,000k
• Shredding Talisman: 250k - 400k
• Savage Prize: 40k - 100k
• Serpant Finery: 20k - 500k ?

So i found out the hard way that crafting 6 prop shoulders and 1 hand swords is not the way to go. Goodbye 20M in recipes and about the same in crafting costs. Not a single sell able item lol STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!! Also, all i do now is craft got really bored of the actual game.

I kinda luckboxed two double rolls with the AR for perfect barb stats which let me sell this and make up for my helm crafting adventure which IMO has extremely high variance even for very deep bankrolls it is NOT worth it you salvage 90% of what you make. Phew! Now to never craft helms again!

[Cyanide]

Gold is available on the AH now at 25-32cents/100k (at time of posting).
This is probably the reason why non-AH gold sales are pushed back up to 15-18cents/100k.
I'm no economist, but i'm guessing this will be the "stabilized" prices?

[Exilemic]

anyone selling gold here?

Apparently there's a new gimmicky build for a Wizard, but I may be wrong, I don't really follow wizard threads.

God Mode Wizard?

Step 1: Select Teleport - Fracture. Bind it to a key
Step 2: Select Archon, tested with Improved Archon
Step 3: Hover your mouse over or near your charcter
Step 4: Press Teleport
Step 5: QUICKLY(!) Press Archon

Now...WHERE THE EFF ARE THE MONK GOD MODE WTFBBQ 1 SHOT BUILDS!?!?!?!
