I dont get why they would make the game easier. Makes it less fun. The amount of times friends and i have died while laughing our heads off is endless. Wouldnt have had half as much fun if we had just stormed through while only dying once or twice.

Simple. All the whiney farmers want to get as much epic loot as they can with as little effort as possible so they can make money on the RMAH, and if the poor little souls are they're dead, they're not making money

Yeah that must be it.

:rolleyes:

Ok, i've given up on this now. I just can't make my DH good enough to withstand act 2 inferno without dying too often. I'm just bleeding cash due to repair costs. Hours of farming act 1 to try and eke out enough for a small upgrade is boring the hell out of me now. I'm done.

Here you go:

I may wait for this new patch and give it one more try as it's supposed to tone the elites down a little.

But i'm truly sick of farming act 1.

Teaf · 12 Aug 2012 at 08:56

You should be capable of blitzing Act 2 really, for the most part at least, some packs are just horrible purely because of the mob types in Act 2 (melee serpents for example can be brutal). Add me if you want, can maybe take a look at your skill set up or do an Act 2 farming run and see if I can suggest any pointers.

Rimsy · 12 Aug 2012 at 09:10

Aye... too little too late (re the patch notes)

Cheers mate, i'll add you in a bit

Have to say that my stats don't look too bad, so maybe i'm just a bit of a rubbish player

Some of the elites really are swines to kill though

I rely quite heavily on discipline to sprint clear of packs and get some shots in. Unfortunately if I don't kill them fairly quick, I run out of discipline and i'm a gonner.

Edit: Just checked your profile and holy hell you have some firepower :eek:

You really need Prep (Backup Plan) and Shadow Power (Gloom) if you aren't already using those. If anything takes you to 50% HP you immediately pop Shadow Power, then DPS a bit to get your life up and look around to see what just hit you, then adjust accordingly, you could chain 4 SP's back to back with Preperation and this allows you to pretty much face tank any elite pack.

Also, in my MF gear

trying to build an MF set for 1.0.4.

Added you now

Cheers for the tips.

I do use shadow power when in trouble. Very useful to get your health back up.

your stats are far better than mine and i'm playing act 2. a few deaths but that is the point of inferno really. you've got like, triple my dps, i think. you're doing something wrong ^^

I don't think that's my true dps though, it only looks high due to one of the skills i'm using.

Edit: Think it's the sharpshooter one

998cc · 12 Aug 2012 at 11:48

Annnnnnnnnd there goes my HC barb, only thing capable of killing him was a disconnect. Such an unfitting way for him to go. RIP.

ah, well even so my sharpshooter caps at about 55k or so when i use it.

Teaf · 12 Aug 2012 at 13:47

Hmm, this looks fishy.

2x Sage Seekers up for sale, both have the exact same stats. They are also both up for sale for 7,770,000 and both have 1d 11h remaining.

Some kind of dupe?

I once had two item drops one after the other, and they both had the exact same name and stats.

Flibby's xbow cost more than probably any 2 other people's entire gear on here

He's also a very skillful DH, so listen to what he has to say

the pokemon kid · 12 Aug 2012 at 15:42

Sup guys,

I have been farming inferno a lot recently looking for better gear etc. Everything on the AH is over priced and was wondering if anyone on here had some better gear for me.

Here is my wiz currently:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/pokemonkid-2437/hero/2204948

Im trying to get to 100k dps at the moment. I'm not worried about all res as I'm just straight glass cannon. Can anyone help?
