o wow all of them have str or int its hard finding decent monk one under 3m so I gave up

argh stressed on act 2 inferno (barb)
feels lkee 800 res and 12,5k dps not enough, need to crank the dps, but the 1hd heapon is really expensive, tired famr on act 1

i think gonna play hardcore for a while since i haven't touch it....

Have you played durring a hotfix?? Good luck with hardcore.

I won't even touch HC until the game has been out a bit longer and things are more stable. No use investing the time or gold only to have some ninja hotfix lag me out to die on some trash mobs.

yup, that happened again last night

at one point it lagged so badly, we all got booted out of the game, and had to log back in, to be welcome with "Breaking News" message about servers going to be shutdown & inaccessible.... yet we were in the game when the time listed was supposed to be not accessible, and even after we got booted out we were able to log back in.

but yeah, good luck if you are a hardcore, that practically guarantees a 100% death since you have no idea when that is happening and chances are you are farming, and even low level mob can easily kill you in those lag times

If you are playing hardcore, you just have to log off if things start getting laggy. If you don't, then it's your fault when you die due to lag.

I think I'm probably going to do HC when I beat inferno and start getting bored. Not sure what char will be best, maybe monk due to dodge?

Also, for any HC players in here, I have a hack for you.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Should make a Macro for that, my Keyboard has a built in macro system so it can record keystrokes & make them a macro.

This is good news right? I didn't know it was changing. I can finally tank act 3 semi OK and did public game to get past my sticking point yes we all died a lot but it was pretty funny and had a barb who just wouldn't quit his life stealing was insane tank setup yet I felt a tad stronger or better player I just couldn't get over his must of been life on hit values.

Currentently in need of fire all resist gear and nice rings neck to go with a monk build. Currently onl my neck has LOH def need more at point where i dont get one shotted anymore yet i have a still in need of those nice weapons and 4k + block shield @25 block or better. I really don't know how monks get so much damage while being so tanky maybe just more dex on higher tier gear with some crit thrown in?

here's something just for fun when rolling a new character for whatever reason, and if you have the spare time / gold / and magic parts

so i was looking through all the available sets you can make from the Black Smith, and by level 22 you can combine both Born's set + Cain's Set, then you can get the goodies extra stats from both sets

although there's no point making any until patch 1.03 when they actually buff up the Legendaries and Uniques items

these 2 sets compliments each other

Born's Pauldrons
Born's Carapace
Born's Seething Rage

Cain's Slippers
Cain's Warmers
Cain's Laurel
Cain's Raiment


i was actually trying to do the same research to see if there's any set worth while for lvl 60 that can be fitted together, for Hell / Inferno




Question:

in D3 can we equipt 2 of the same Weapon or Rings for Legendaries & Set items like we did in D2?

for example
Hallowed "set" only really works if you use any Hallowed melee weapon + Hallowed Barrier shield

but what if i use 2x Hallowed Avenger, otherwise the other stats for 2 piece of Hallowed won't trigger right?

Well the way monks and barbs are built, if they stack their damage stat they get more tanky. Barbs get DMG + Armor from STR, and monks get DMG + Dodge from DEX. Although I think the scaling with dex is a little bit better,
