First step towards making life easy in inferno....set graphics to low! If your playing with 300-400 lag, this makes things a bit easier, especially stutter stepping, The graphics arent that different........it looks just like wow lol.

Spot what's a little odd in that picture

	Nemo:	I had the same bug, funny.

[nirvAnA]

Did a farming route today, opted for a different approach this time. Instead of a "boss run" we opened the last asmo quest then proceeded to start from Keeps > ice cave > bunker > foundary > towers which all basically all the sweet elite spots in act 3, went to all the 5 resplendent chests and finally killed asmo at the end. logic being elites drop just as much as bosses and take much less time to kill. we had leets constantly drop 3 rares.

Took about 3 hours and we must have went through over 50 leet packs in turbo mode cause im abusing a glitch pretty hard now which makes leet packs free frags I did not get anything good but it just came down to shitty RNG. had a ton of L61-63 items drop, many yellow, many blues just not good rolls. oh well.

[nirvAnA]

The QQs have been answered. Huge buff to drop rates, like how it was before the patch!

Hell – Act III and Act IV

iLvl 61: 9% to 13.9%
iLvl 62: 1.9% to 3.45%
iLvl 63: 0% (no change)


Inferno – Act I

iLvl 61: 17.7% to 23.9%
iLvl 62: 7.9% to 12.6%
iLvl 63: 2.0% to 4.8%


Inferno – Act II

iLvl 61: 18.6% to 23.3%
iLvl 62: 12.4% to 18.6%
iLvl 63: 4.1% to 9.3%


Inferno – Act III and Act IV

iLvl 61: 24.1% to 27.1%
iLvl 62: 16.1% to 21.7%
iLvl 63: 8.0% to 16.3%

iMSystem:

Not a buff in regards to QQ, it was nurfed too much and they put it back to what it was before

[cruxSpoon]

Lmao, buffing act 1 and 2 as well.

Did they solve the issue that Act 1 and 2 is more rewarding? Probably not. You can run Act II in 1/3rd of hte time of Act III/IV and with alot less stress. The drop rate for ilvl 63 is is less than half. Time vs Rate = Act 2 is the farm spot forever and ever...who needs act 3 and 4 right? Why would it make sense to do harder content for less reward? I mean they pigeon holed us in to 2 hours of NV valor farming (even though they said they didnt want you to).

The QQ will continue. Theres an elitist oldschool D2 base that will never let go of their ways, theres a casual base that wants everything now, and then theres people who are in between. Blizzard wont make everyone happy, but they try to and its just going to pull the game in more directions. Meanwhile on the sidelines botters are laughing cause they already control the market and every move blizz makes helps them out.

EDIT: Oh when is this buff expected?
EDIT: nvm was hotfixed :P

what do you mean by botters already control the market, some interesting stuff there! elaborate plz

[Benji]

Thank god for the buff, I wasn't even breaking even farming act 3 since the patch (Although my Barb and Wiz friends were breaking even barely, damn DH getting 1 shot :P ), hoping for rare 63's with good rolls to make money is hard when you're only getting 2-3 a run.

12k dps is way too few for Inferno. To save you time just rendez-vous with one of our friends and they will give you stuff that they would not even sell in AH so you are 26k dps, 25-30 kHP, 250+ resist, 3000-4000 armor. I would do it myself but I can't give you server gear unfortunately.

I tried crafting ~10 4-properties Palliums (shoulder) because I looted the recipe. I was unlucky because I had quite strong Dex and Strength + vit (or resist All) stuff but nothing interesting in Intelligence. :-(

Selling it is not so interesting because I still farm and so I have already enough middle-class gear to sell.

Anyone has success selling in real money AH ?

Hmm.. I am at 16808 dps with 300k gold, so I reckon I'm in a similar boat to asrathiel. 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.

Will add that my armour and HP are sufficient by those numbers, in fact I think I have 38k HP and over 4000 armour... just the dps and extra bells and whistles letting me down

Hm, I am quite the opposite. I have 42k dps but only about 24k hp so I get 1 to 2 hit quite a lot. But since I am a wiz I get energy armour

[Nemo]

To any moderator, feel free to move our digressions to another thread if you feel like so. I should add that those figures I gave where good for a Wizard that can benefit from Force Armor and then can have limited HP. For a barb / monk More HP / resistance would certainly be needed in exchange for dps. But even as barb, you need dps because the best defense is often the attack. For example that's why Demon Hunters have so huge dps, because they can't afford to be hit and the longer the mobs live, the more you're going to be hit no matter what.

What dps weapon do I need to hit 26k? My resistances are between 288-300+ so at least that is doing ok.

I have a 2-3 million weapon that I bought for maybe 500k. So check gear before playing and after systematically and especially items that are freshly sold (1d11h or 1d12h left). You often can have very affordable items than can be bought right away. In fact, never buy gear the usual price.

BUT you don't need AH in reality. Act 1 drop, every run or 2, 800k+ 2 handed weapons. Take those until you can farm easily the classic runs warden + butcher + Nephalem wood.

To farm and gain money you need not to die more than once every half an hour in average (1 a hour is good). So you need to choose the adequate zone to farm accordingly. If it's hell act 3 or 4 so be it. Act 4 of hell gives you a lot of gold, especially if you put Gold Find gear.

Then when you're at the level I told you to be, just farm the end of Act 1 which is purposely incredibly easy compared to other part of Act 1 (spiders ... ) or Act 2+. With the new nearly 50% drop rate of 60+ objects, you're soon going to be very well geared and will be able to make some good sells (100k to 500k).

What is the class ? 38k might be needed for a tank. For the moment, be sure to aim at maxing Main char + Vit + Resist * 2 for each of your item, with at least half of your gear to have 80+ of your main characteristic.
If you found the occasional item that gives you more because of Attack speed, Critical, pure basic damage, etc., wear it.

When you're at that point you will be able to build (slowly) more Crit oriented build instead of pure main characteristic.

More or less the same. 39k dps and 26k life I think. Rarely one hit in Act 1 (Butcher charge, elite explosions do ...).
