Finally beat Ghom on my wizard using my melee range wizard build. Hit the enrage timer a couple of times due to my horrible gear :P Bought a couple of damage upgrades and managed to do it \o/
 
Seems a lot of trouble to individually research each item to sell. I have a bank full of yellows that I've been collecting since starting hell. Will they even be worth anything? :/

Well there's a few things that make this game not so much fun for me anymore, hence I stopped playing:

1) Too much WoW influence, you can see it in the level cap, style of the quests etc.
2) Storyline was pretty bland and predictable.
3) Preferred D2's dark graphical style.
4) I know Diablo can be repetitive, but I actually found myself missing things like Pindle runs.
5) Pricing items on the AH was a proper pain in the ass. Endlessly waste time putting in filters just to find out what something is worth.
6) The chance of getting iLvl 63 items is low enough, without the chance of that item actually having a decent roll on top. I just gor frustrated id'ing a whole page in my stash of iLvl 63 items and finding not one of them worth a damn.
7) Miss being able to jump between acts at will.
8) Uninteresting legendary items, mostly vendor trash or sell for the price of a brimstone.
9) I played for approx 250 hours across my Barb and my DH, and did not once find a single set item. Bad luck, or awful drop rates?
10) To go from decent gear to better gear can most millions upon millions.
11) Finding upgrades for yourself once you have decent gear, almost impossible! I didn't in the whole time I played, had to go to the AH.

Things that D3 does better than D2? There are a few things:

1) Automatic Gold pickup, life saver. Just wish they made the radius bigger as you got to Lvl 60 instead of making it it an item roll.
2) Better inventory management, smaller items etc.
3) Ability to use multiple specs without respeccing.
 
Ergh act 2 is hard work. I'm at 700+ all res with shout, 37k hp but on 22k dps with a 2 hander. Some elite packs took me 10-15minutes to kill with kiting and waiting for wotb to come up :/

I've got lower All res than you (650), but 54k hp and 30k dps + 240% crit hit damage. Waltz through Act 2. Rarely even blink at anything to be honest. In the middle of a whole act run atm and think I've died twice..

If I had more DPS I'd be fine I think. I just lack the gold to get the upgrades I need (only 3mil gold :( )
 
3m gold should cover you for act2 easily. I've managed to nail act2 now on my Barb for less, upgraded to do around 35k dps before WotB and I just facemelt elite mobs (bar a few combos)

Need more DPS really! I had similar stats with an experimental 2h build except my DPS was 31k and flew though act 2.

Try using:
Lmb - Hammer of the Ancients - The Devil's Anvil (the 'slow' blob can crit, although it does no damage (so you can't tell), and these crits knock seconds off Overpower cool down. when you lack enough fury you'l still do a normal melee attack :) )
Rmb - Overpower - Crushing Advance (the 30% damage reflected is also not taken by yourself, I have this up about 75% of the time so pretty hefty damage reduction)
1 - Ignore Pain - Ignorance is Bliss (obvious)
2 - Wrath of the Beserker - Insanity
3 - Battle Rage - Into the Fray (more damage, more fury on crits = more hammers)
4 - War Cry - Impunity (obvious)

Passives: Nerves of Steel, Weapons Master, Ruthless.. oh and use a mace or axe :) pref with life steal (shock! Lifesteal not life on hit!) my 2h axe had 3.0% life steal and would heal for upwards of 6,000 with the insane Hammer crits.

I know £0.25/unit is the cheapest to sell items on the AH now, but is gold actually selling for that price /100k?

Yup.

But don't forget you then get hit for 15% transaction fee, and then 15% again (off the 85% left, not the original 100%) if you wish to withdraw the cash to Paypal rather than leave it in your Battle.net Balance (can only be used to purchase other RMAH items or Blizzard products).
 
How much would you sell for 2H Staff 800 dps,33% damage,160dex,258 int,2.3% vampir?

Jaff#2301

Its useless to be honest mate, 800dps on 2H is way too low. Anything less than 1k on 2H is just not worth it imo. Even with the 258int it is less DPS than a 1k 2H with no other stats for most people, and it has no other useful stats (life steal in inferno is reduced by 80%, so a pointless stat for the most part).
 
They should make NV stacks last between act 3 and 4. Loot and % chance is the same in both acts but there is 0 reason to farm act 4 as it has less packs and the trash is a lot more irritating. However I would at least think about farming Act 4 if my stacks remained intact.

@Eulogy - bad luck on the set items I think as I've found 5 or 6 now and hunt with way less MF than you did. In fact I actually found a Natalya's Gaze tonight (although the stats were rubbish).

I've come to the conclusion I'm going to ignore the existence of the RMAH. I bought the game to play it, not as a way to make a paltry second income so I will trade purely in the gold AH (including selling) from now on I think.

Be interesting to see what they do to legendaries in 1.0.4, got a funny feeling they will nerf something else at the same time.

:D

Nice thing to see when I log in this morning!

Lend me 5mil? :D
 
Anyone got a valuation for this:

Cheers

Anyone? Keen to know as it's probably the 2nd best item i've found :o

Also, what single item could I buy for 3.6m that would make the biggest improvement on my DH? I'm thinking maybe a weapon with better stats? My current weapon has high DPS but poor stats (no crit damage etc). In need of some tips as act 2 inferno is still way too hard for me :(

Currently using this:

Will 3.6m buy me something considerably better?
