For anyone that's interested, Alkaizer has started streaming on Twitch (the level 98 paragon guy). He just logged off a few minutes ago, but was online when I went to bed last night & when I got up :p

anyone play WW barb? I am tempted to try it but not sure if my stats are ok for it. Of the top of my head I have about 600 AR (unbuffed), 35k dps, 800 LoH, 250(ish) crit, 17% crit chance. I read that crit hit is not that important so I could try swapping out a 90% crit chance gem for more LoH if required.

May give it a go tonight and try act 1 first, break it in gently. I assume it is not as easy to master as the videos I have seen suggest and that it will take some time to figure out the play style.

What WW barb skills are you talking about? Generally crit chance is important, as it's what you use (with battle rage) to gain a lot of fury in order to keep up sprint/ww etc. Ideally you need 40%+ really.
 
If you mean the tornado barb then you really need upwards of33% crit chance to keep your fury going.

Anyone else hate it when you bid on an item before bed, get up in the morning and find a far superior item with a B/O of less then your previous bid and you don't have the funds because of said bid :(

If anyone wants to play with a 2h barb that does pretty good damage(500-600k+ crits with wotb) farming act 2 inferno i am Sycho#2606 also have an inferno hardcore barb that has 1k+ all resists and on act 2 inferno.(have a 60 wd too with 500 all resists, 42k dmg, 58k hp on act 3 but struggling a bit probably due to it's spec....or me not playing it lately)

How long did it take you to reach act 2 inferno safely? I can just see myself getting far into it, then getting killed by 1 stupid combo and a bit of bad luck. Was on Act 2 yesterday doing 4man Co-op with my WD, I tend to survive quite well on it, right up until we came across this really weak champ pack on a narrow walkway that just happened to be Frozen Waller. Right before we killed all 3 of them they dropped an A-Bomb. All 3 dropped there Frozen Orbs at the same time they dropped a wall behind us all (the other 3 were fairly glass cannonish and died in 1-3) and I got a wall behind me right in front of them and couldn't push past and got hit by about 8 of them. Wiped the entire party... then they died from my Slow Burn Acid Cloud :p

Heh, depends what I'm looking for. When I look at OffHands for my WD I tend to just filter by Int/Crit then Time Left and look for whats nearly done. When I was getting her a chest piece though I wound up bidding on 3 different chest pieces just to keep track of them. Won 2 of them ><

yeah, i meant paragon levels.

i gave the WW 'uberspec' a go earlier and it was shockingly bad lol. i was probably doing something wrong but i have no idea why theres such a fuss around it. ill stick to my big 2hander i reckon!

He is doing an incredibly efficient act 3 run which was taking about 15 minutes, ignoring all rares and only picking up legendaries (when he sees them). I don't think his gear was incredible from what someone said but he just plays to level and nothing else. Think it worked out at about 50m exp an hour.

Also, he doesnt seem to be identifying the legendaries because it will waste time. He had at least 1 but probably 3 pages of them in his bank and his bag was almost full.
 
^^ That's what I've found. Even with 45% critical chance with maces I couldn't keep whirlwind going :/
Can pretty much just smash through most of Act3 if I stick with my current approach :) Just need some decent drops!

I've had a few good finds recently, 2 amulets with nice base states and decent critical chance/amount along with life% and no-one is even bidding on them :(
 
i cant even sell stuff with like 70+ stats and 70+ res for 10k. nothing is selling at all tbh, i wish there was an armory page that would let others see your stock. would make it much easier to share gear etc.
 
Havnt done much co op at all, any one keen for some farming? Running act 3 fairly easily with my CM wizard. My tag is facelessman#2188

Also can anyone give me a hand crafting me a radiant star or 2? :)

50mil exp per hour and not exceptional gear? Not likely. It takes me 2-3 hours (never really timed it) to clear from Keep Depths lvl1 to Siegebreaker and that nets me maybe half a paragon level ish with a 25% Star Ruby which is around 8-10mil exp. Even if you ignored all drops you'd never reach over double that and even that is a generous overestimations.

Edit: I'm not saying it isn't possible to get that level of exp per hour, I'm saying he clearly has exceptional gear.

yeah i looked at his gear earlier and the only weak bit was his off hand but its just being used for the stats.

I'm having a lot of fun on a monk atm, only level 52 but thinking about dropping my barb for it but will see how things go at max level, this rate though there might not be much i can buy thats half decent for less than 50million gold per item! No idea how they will sort out the loot system tbh. I wish paragon levels were account wide, hopefully they will be at some point as its killed off alts. Impossible to reliably farming your own gear and far too expensive buying from the ah which is made worse at how little you make without selling anything thats not top end which is rare too, atleast imo

Rant over!

Completely agree on paragon levels being account wide. I raised a DH to 60 with a mate who was new to the game, went on my Wizard to farm a bit of gear for him on Inferno and haven't played him since. Why waste time paragon leveling a character who might not be my main?
