What difficulty you up to?

Also, my DPS drops by a good 3k if I equip a shield (without buffs), for very little increase in protection. Dual wield :)

Just completed Nightmare this evening. Level 51 now. Up to around 3.5k dps with a weapon bought at level 50. Now level 51 weapons already look a big chunk better. Hope once I get to level 60 I'll atleast be able to choose cool looking equipment.

I want a Mahoosize Axe/Sword :D
 
Anyone else having issues logging in since this patch. I log in, it tells me a new patch is available and the game will close to apply the patch, closes, and does nothing, try again, same thing etc etc.

Seriously does nobody read these things properly?

Blizzard did NOT design it so that bosses drop utter rubbish on your first trip. They designed it so repeatedly running the same boss will yield absolute rubbish. Nightmare is the only difficulty that seems to have this problem. On Normal, they drop rares. On Hell, they drop rares. On Nightmare, they drop magics.

Lol @ The Clipper. Never connected that dot before...

No.

Bosses after the first kill on that character will only drop blue items, what difficulty you do it on makes no difference.

The only way to get rares from a boss after the first kill is to have a 5 stack of Nephalem Valor, which guarentees atleast 2 rares from the boss.
 
Ooft, Ring 15% atk speed, Nice drop indeed.

That's Hell done and dusted :) Was a bit of a walk through really once you have so much res xD I now know why everyone raves about it xD

For all those having issues.... honestly, just wait until 60....

NV resolves pretty much all issues regarding drops..

Stormed through Act IV of Hell tonight and got 4 rares I think, maybe more, from a variety of stuff, including 2 from Diablo himself.

Also probably late, but monks get a bit of love tomorrow:
Mantra of Healing (tooltips will be updated in a later patch)
In addition to increasing Life regeneration for you and nearby allies while active, Mantra of Healing will now also shroud you and nearby allies with a mystical shield that absorbs damage for 3 seconds after activiation (up to a limited amount, based on level)
Skill Rune - Boon of Protection
Boon of Protection has been renamed Boon of Inspiration
Mantra of Healing will now heal you when dealing damage to an enemy (heal amount will be based on hero level)

He was talking about nightmare mode? So it wouldn't be hes first trip to each boss, and from my experience after normal all bosses drop ****! And yes blizzard have designed it so after your first kill's bosses have less chance of dropping rares, they want you to hunt elites/champs, not farm a boss over and over again until your brain melts away.

I feel like this is quite cruel, however it is very true...

Which is ironic considering the number of people farming The Butcher....

Level 60 now, up to Diablo on Hell - lets just say it is not going well. I have 15.3k DPS and 13k HP on my DH. Any DH's here that have any tips?

Stay out of the way of everything on phase 1, pepper him from range with Nether Tentacles. Use SS or Vault if you mistime something.

Phase 2, as soon as your shadowself spawns hit SS and burn it to the ground, with 13khp its going to 1 shot you if it gets a hit in. Then again, pepper him from range using SS or vault when he ports to you.

Phase 3 is the same as phase 1 just 1 more attack to avoid, if you are at max range it will never hit you anyway.

Basically, dont get hit, ever, and you will win :)

You could make it easier by stacking some more vitality so you dont get 1 shot by everything, then you can make use of the healing wells on P1 and 3.
 
Worst Siegebreaker run ever.

Only got 4 packs on the whole run so couldn't get 5 for the boss. Died 5 times on the boss, normally one shot, got him to about 5% on the 2nd try then opened inventory and put MF gear on but accidentally threw my shoulders on the ground, then he killed me but since it starts a new "zone" when you enter into a boss room the shoulders have now gone poof. Also, when I did kill him, nothing but utter garbage.

*sighs*
 
end game is not what I wanted! thinking of finding the next game to play. gearing is too time consuming and expensive..spending all my time now on the AH, is it fun, no it isnt. where is the exploration with the random dungeons areas like we where promised? The only thing random about the dungeons is layouts but all the architecture and content is exactly the same.
