[quote name='Pookymeister']Threw a 900 dmg crossbow up on the RMAH I just found for $50. Had 230 Dex, 120 vit, and %73 crit dmg - lowest i saw was $75 so hoping to cash in on that =][/QUOTE]

I would say $10 tops for that bow, then again sometimes people are pretty dumb with their money so It has a good chance of selling.

Similar bows go for 1mil on the GAH

That's what I was initially thinking, but searching for 200, 100, and 70 - lowest was $75, so figured what the hell. Now there is a better one for $36 listed two hours after mine though, so that would have to go first (logically at least)
 
Anyone know where I can find AH guides? Just trying to get a baseline for what reasonable buy/sell prices are and how to shop for value.
 
Was given this by a friend, but cna't use it. Anyone have any idea what I might get on the Gold/RMAH?

Found set xbow, gloves and boots. all remain UN'IDed. Was offered 2.5mln each for gloves and boots. I just cant seem to let go of my legendary and set finds.

Have found 3 xbows, 2x1000+ dps OS and 1 1200dps. Dont know value of them.
 
[quote name='bhk']I've realized I'm addicted to alts. I've got a lvl 52 witch doctor, lvl 31 wizard and a lvl 27 Barbarian. Still plan on starting a monk and DH.[/QUOTE]

Hey same here. I now have 4 chars maxed (almost) only have the Barb left. If I put in the same amount of time I spent farming act 4 inferno I'd probably have 9 chars maxed.
 
Got my DH up to 60 and am loving it thus far. Spent the $20 I had in my acct thanks to RM sales and bought some medium quality eq. Right now i'm at around 30k hp with 22k DPS & 160% MF.

Just had a pretty nice drop but its conflicting with my 40% Magic Find Amulet. I guess I could just stick with MF until I come across something tough and then I'll just switch to the HP/DMG Amulet until its about dead and then switch back to MF so I get the drops.

Debating on 3 choices now:

1. Continue to farm Act 1 with 302% MF (after valor), completing runs with no effort in 30-40 mins
2. Farm Act 3 with current gear and do 1.5 hour runs dying alot and paying repair bills.
3. Theoretically gear up with little MF and complete Act 3 runs faster/less repair.

My understanding of MF is that it increases the chance that a drop will be rare/leg/set, but not the iLvl of the item nor the stats.
So using MF on Act 1 would get me more rares, but still only at the 4.8% rate of ilvl 63. Have about 8.5mil to play with so should be able to get some decent upgrades if i skip MF.

And since Blizz is talking about messing around with MF, my 300MF has a good chance of not being as effective later - so maybe should sell some of it off while i can...

As a DH you don't need no more than 7k hp, I got 200 MF with indestructible gear and about 30k DPS with SS. My repair bills are only 4-5k

From what I recall (of what was said earlier), the only thing they're thinking of doing is making it so you can't switch to MF gear at the end of a fight.
 
[quote name='dualedge2']From what I recall (of what was said earlier), the only thing they're thinking of doing is making it so you can't switch to MF gear at the end of a fight.[/QUOTE]

there were a few options presented by them, with one being :

-Option 1: Set a Magic Find Cap-

We could set an MF cap between something like 100% and 200%. Nephalem Valor provides 75%, so you would need between 25% and 125% to reach the hard cap. Everyone could find ways to hit the cap for MF% on their gear and then stop.


If that is implemented, would stand to reason MF stats would become less desirable and all my gear would devalue.
 
Based on the way Blizz worded each paragraph regarding each change, I see Option 4 the one they'll go for.

Option 4: Zero-Out Your MF% for 3 Minutes After Swapping Gear

When you swap gear, your Magic Find is disabled for 3 minutes.

Pros: Absolutely effective at discouraging gear swaps. Still allows you to swap gear when you find an upgrade, and the 3 minute duration is probably short enough that if you kill an Elite pack and get an upgrade, you can put that upgrade on and have your Magic Find active again by the time you get to the next pack.

Cons: Players who are unfamiliar with the system may open up their details page and see their Magic Find as 0% and not understand why. We could mitigate this by making the 0% MF colored with a tooltip stating the countdown until your Magic Find would work again, as well as what your Magic Find will be when the time expires.
Click to expand...
Here's why I see it happening above all others: They provided a possible fix for the problem they brought up with it. All other options they presented problems but didn't present a solution.

That's just me, but it's what I think they might do.

But yea, in any case, I see why you seem a bit "on edge" regarding it.

It was a pretty bad roll and the price on them has been falling ever since IAS was nerfed. Having no crit or CD is another factor unless you roll lucky.

With the AH listing the lowest buyout for that ammy for 6mil, with lower stats may i add, you can't tell me that was a good choice.
it still had loh, which is a prem on a ammy, with hp increase

I dont see how crit or CD is really a huge factor in a tanking ammy
 
Found a decent pair of boots while farming with
232 Armor
78 str
202 dex
70 int
83 vit
41 fire
42 resist all

Armor is kinda shitty but the 202 dex and vit is pretty awesome. My health is currently 31k with 15k damage buffed, and about 635 resist. I need to work on getting my resists and damage up, but overall decent.
 
So bored with the game... Can farm A1 Inferno no problem with close to 300MF, but it's pretty much destroyed the game for me in terms of fun. That, and almost all of the prices on the AH are dropping so even really decent gear isn't worth nearly as much as it used to be, so it's decreasingly lucrative...

Can't even stand to touch alts, especially knowing what this pathetic "endgame" boils down to.
 
grinding act 1 and 2 w/friends is a lot more rewarding...if not for the potential in shared drops just the social aspect of it. maybe try that if act 1 feels too much of a chore.

I agree with this 100%.

Even with friends I get bored of warden/butcher runs. I would like better gear but I hate the grinding even with friends.
 
@ provis - most of us have made it act iii now, but we're undergeared to do a majority of the packs. packs having close to 3 million hps is just not in our scope to deal with solo and worse cooperatively atm. I dunno, trying to factor in time trials or seeing how fast we can clear an act 1 run and theory crafting so far has kept the farming less mind numbing. I don't farm everyday anymore either, that actually helps a lot.

The farming wouldn't bother me so much if I got lvl 60 + items but it seems like 90 percent or more of what I find on Act 1 is 57-59. Sure I make some gold while I play to buy better items and slowly get better but it just doesn't seem worth the grind.

I played through the Magda fight in ACT II but with the cost of repair so much higher I was losing more money than I was making and I had to run past or reload many of the elites. Its crazy to me that the jump in difficulty between those two acts is so great.

i've noticed it as well as mentioned earlier in the thread. lower level 50 items seem to be surfacing more often. once in a while i'll get 3-4 rares from a pack and they'll all be 62-63. the farm currently seem to be vendor trash = gold, which i tend convert to combining gems for the most part.

I did find a pair of immortal kings gauntlets but it had virtually nothing for a barbarian and more for a monk or DH my barb friend didn't even want them. So far, Log, Tree Stump, Jondar, and Zoulten are my bff for sets and legendaries.

Also, did they up the damage on arcane sentry? I can stand it in on Act I, be wary of it on Act ii but in Act 3, it melts Diamond Skin and I die instantly.

Dunno when you looked, but before I posted that amulet I checked other auctions for prices and there was a lot going for like 500Kish. I put the buyout on mine for 1 mil, and it only went for 850K.



Played a bit last night, and it sucked. It's like every mob I ran into was 1-hitting me. Most of them either had teleport or vortex, or was a fast mob that could jump. They'd like hit me before I could even react. It's weird cause just a couple days ago I was able to do the beginning of Act 1 up to Butcher and only die like once or twice.

I actually would've continued to play had they not nerfed chests because doing Inferno ponies with friends was a lot of fun. The day they nerfed it was the last time I played with friends and led to my eventual exit. The endgame for me in D2 was farming all day with friends in hell cow runs, trying to perfect my character for faster and faster farming. Then at night, going out PKing and losing all the gold I had got that day. There would just be piles of worthless cash lying on the ground everywhere by the time we were done lol.

Can't do either one in this game sadly. fuck Blizzard's carebear design. :\[quote name='SEH']I havent touched the game in like a week. I only log in at this point to manage my auctions. Pretty sad.[/QUOTE]
Ditto. Been playing a lot of JC2 and Killing Floor since I quit. It's amazing how much fun you can have with such simpler games. Really made me aware how unhappy I was playing D3.

hmm thats weird, lowest buyout currently is 5 mil

I personally found 2, and sold one for 10 mil
you sure you typed in blackthorns medal in the search and not breeches or anything? I can only imagine that you only searched for the stats, and not the specific set piece.

and that 850k, means it sold for a mil and you got blizz taxed. i imagine it sold immediately for a mil

I play/chat with Pookie whenever we're both on. It is fun and was a nice change, but it's not enough in the long term.

If only Blizzard let you list your account on the RMAH. ;P
 
[quote name='JasonTerminator']Breaking news everybody! Games change over the course of development!

More at 11![/QUOTE]

yeah and usually it's called getting better....

this is like hyping without providing, teasing and not finishing, bait and switch...

blizzard just gave us all blue balls.

D3 is not as fun as I thought it would be. I thought I would be stuck sharing time with this and GW2....

.... not any more. Thank you Arenanet for keeping their word, and introducing more to make the game better.
 
damn...i almost feel bad for blizz, their forums formatting crapped out and the number of wtg posts are staggering.

hoping stealth nerfs are reported quickly so I know what to expect later tonight rather than be surprised and end up w/a high rep bill.

what do you think is a good Crit chance % cap before swapping out SS? Currently I can get it up to about 32% w/ +148% Crit damage or 25% w/ +205% crit damage (gloves/quiver/ammy swap). Both seem find for Act 2 farming atm.

I would say the 32% with the 200+%, if you can manage that. My wiz is at ~33% crit and 205% dmg. Crits for around 100k with my arcane orbs.

What's your battle ID tag? Mine is IRHari#1709. Add me.

Used to play with Jodou and his friends, till they all quit and started playing WoW instead :(
 
[quote name='j-cart']Is it wrong to find more enjoyment in SWTOR than in Diablo 3?[/QUOTE]

Nope.

D3 has turned out to be a mess. I could prolly forgive it if they had launched with pvp (And honestly, it should have had open pvp as well), but they decided to make the game a pointless cash grab with the RMAH.

SWTOR is still a pretty fun game, and the server merges have made it a hell of a lot easier to do the content you want to do.
 
I think I'm burnt out on this game. 256 hours was a good run. I'm just gonna pop in for AH like SEH. I hope Blizzard makes some nice patches to bring back those that left but I'm not holding my breath. They already have our money and doubt they give a shit.
 
Well, it looks like you can sell commodities now on rmah.
but at the min cap of .25 per essence, i imagine people are going to balk at buying 100 essence for 25 bucks
 
[quote name='tcrash247']It's kind of sad that my two most anticipated PC games for years on end were SWTOR and Diablo 3 and I don't really care for either.[/QUOTE]
I felt the same way. I was excited for SWTOR and D3 and felt underwhelmed by both. First off SWTOR had major problems on my system and was poorly coded (I know because it's one of those games that just maxes out my core i5 3.0 ghz processor on low settings). So I quit that under a month.

D3 was okay at best but the endgame is getting boring. I mean the only reason I am still considering playing it is to make a few dollars on the RMAH. I know my chances are slim and well I don't think it's even worth it to bother. I am better off using my PC for other things.
 
seriously i cannot understand people thinking diablo 3 was going to be this awesome game. i've said it already but it never looked like it was going to be good.

unless you were going off of an idea in your head of how good diablo 3 COULD have been and not looking at actual gameplay/interviews/early reviews etc...

on one hand it feels great to see all these people regretting it since i get a big feeling of i told you so and on the other i feel sad that diablo 3 is a shitty game.

I thought it was gonna be good because I played the PVP arenas at Blizzcon and it was fun as hell. Blizz dropped the ball by not having those at launch.
 
So, I'm moving into Act 2 of Inferno and I'm wondering what are the recommended stats I should be shooting for. I'm a barb with 5k (buffed) armor, 400-450 all resists, 35k health, and about 42k dps buffed.
