*** The Official Diablo III Thread ***

Just wondering how u guys handle resists, my kill speed is fine, 3-5 mins on gr40/t9. but I feel pretty squishy, I read on one guide that 1800 phys resist is needed, but that means giving up a lot of AR?.

I like to stick to as much all resist as possible including diamonds in gear as a DH i should be a lot more squshy! What class are you playing? Also paragon is pretty important especially at higher Grifts

PS i came back into thread to mention that i have 8 or so puzzle rings spare, So if anyone needs some quick cash i can open up a few vaults to boost your gold :). (T10 for higher money drops. I dont mind carrying anyone whos not geared for T10.)

Forgot to mention class - ww barb 492p already taken the resist para points, curent resists are:

1674 phys
876 cold/fire/light/pois
1034 arc/holy

Feels like I take the most damage from lightning mobs atm.

Not full ancient gear yet, still need helm & boots.

Can you link your BNet profile?

Are you using unity in cube with one on your follower?

I'm using the hf ammy with nerves of steel, reason I say I feel squishy is because this will usually trigger once per run on average, not entirely sure now if its lightning damage or possibly reflect mobs, either way it happens quite quickly that I will drop in hp to trigger nerves of steel.

Not using unity atm, because I felt a bit low on damage with it for t9/gr40, so switched to f&r.

I'm no barb expert, but I'd switch your ground stomp out for war cry with veterans warning. Your bracers also need replacing, lacuni prowlers with physical dmg and chc on them are best in slot. Ive had no problem with GR55 on my ww barb with honestly worse gear than yours, using unity in cube with convention of elements and obsidian ring of the zodiac on my char.

Ignorance is bliss is usually the best rune for ignore pain also.

Edit, heres a guide from Draque, who got rank 1 with this build on seasons - http://www.diablofans.com/builds/59662-grift-72-solo-whirlwind-build
 
Thanks for the advice, I went with the diamonds as it gave me best balance, felt a slight loss of clear speed, but no more nerves of steel procs since.

I dont actually have a pair of lacuni atm, only had 1 or 2 drop & both been very bad rolls.

:) your speed will pick up again soon i am sure. A rule a lot of people follow "You can't deal damage when your dead"

not sure about a WW Barb but might be worth considering crafting some reapers wraps as a temp bracer replacement. ( though as I said I'm not to sure if they work great for barb ) I assume they will given the fury for whirlwind ect

First thing I'd do is roll that 10% damage off both your bul-kathos weapons and roll vit. Your life is extremely low at 400k, once you get some more ancient gear then you can roll that vit back off your weapons for CDR. CDR is a huge boost to damage output with WW barb, the closer you get to 100% Wrath of the Beserker uptime the better the build becomes.

You also need to roll that 10% damage reduction from elites for vit on your chest. The more vit you have the greater blood funnel becomes in keeping you alive as well as giving you better scaling on your life % stats.
 
Thanks to the guys I was pushing 60 with last night, my first time running grifts that high, and I got some schooling on how to properly manage mobs etc, good fun.

Also huge thanks to Seyline for somehow convincing the RNG gods to drop a Fist of Az and then giving it to me.

does anyone suffer from lag in this game?

if i play solo, its fine, when i play with my friend i lag every 10 seconds or so. latency is always under 50ms.

ive tried opening ports, firewall etc even dropping area damage paragon points and poison gem as it has been suggested. i have so many deaths because i lag and just appear dead.

i havent played for a few months, it was fine before this patch.

Anyone any help on this? solo player was lagging this morning also, nothing else is running while i play.

What class you playin Joker?

Witchdoctors have huge problems in groups when using helltooth, as such the old Carnevil Dart doc is the choice for GR groups due to its mental single target damage on the RG.

Theres also a running concensus that removing paragon points from Area Damage helps with lag but i havent seen it myself.

But yes theres plenty of issues which cause lag, imagien a 4 man gr with Exploding Palm monk, Acid Cloud Witchdoctor, Barb with pain enhancer and you can imagien it gets a bit messy
