Wait what? There's like 2 pages of this thing. lol@ 200k buyout.

Spoiler:

Uniques are currently under-powered.

Blizzard said that they plan to buff them in patch 1.3. As in, two patches down. But the stats of existing uniques will not increase, they will only buff new drops. So all the uniques that exist now will stay as curious collectors items, and not really ideal for Inferno.

If I could just get a hand on a fist weapon with:
1000^ DPS
+20^% attack speed
+150^ VIT
+150^ DEX
+900^ life on hit
+1 socket (Radiant Star Amethyst for +600 life on hit)

Im on EU, but I have a 800 dps fist weapon with some stats around that, with high Dex and 2 sockets no life on hit though.

Life on hit is the most important part of that formula though.
It synergies extremely well with high attack speed and mitigation.

Theoretically, you can achieve 3000 per hit with two weapons ((900+600) * 2) and attack 3.00 with addition of couple of rings or amulet and gloves, which is 9k of HP generated per second.

You can even go higher if you have Life on Hit on the rings.

With 80% resist and 70-80% armor, you can easily outheal most attacks in the game by simply hitting the mobs.

Unfortnately a gear with that kind of stats would cost astronomically right now.

Goal of 80% resist isn't hard for monks, but 80% from Armor is hella hard.

I don't really want to be forced to use that ranged attack for the armor boost, but I just may have to.

I'll be good for life!

....I'll take two!
I'll sell my dead grandmother's soul to the Lord of Terror for two.

Good luck paying 10 million for that weapon. ;p My friend found a blue fist weapon weapon 996.4 dps, 26% increased attack speed in the beginning of act 3. Which, btw, is freaking hard, I currently use a dodge build and hope for the best.

[aohige]

Only 10 million? LOL, I think you're off a digit or two.

[Fallen3dge]

For barb hell whats the ideal damage at A1? I'm only at 2.6k...which is pathetic and 28k hp

Just notice are the friendlists different for each server? meaning do I have to add the people corresponding to the server they are playing on?...that is pain

Yeah, friends list and character aren't sync-ed between different servers. I m just sticking to the US server since most of my mates are playing there.


At lvl 59 now Act III Hell mode with my monk. Starting to get the hang off the difficulty now after i started focusing on getting Liife per hit, fire resist converted to resist all with trait and vitality thanks to skane's advice.

Really love the freedom of being able to adjust my skill setup without the hassle of respec/reroll. After seeing Kyero Fox's monk in action, i stole some of his skill setup and my monk playstyle changed quite radically by using Mystic Ally to tank while I stand outside their melee range smacking em with Long Reach and Wave of Light.

A question on life per hit: How does it work for area-of-effect and multi-targeting spells? Area of effect would mean something like a Blizzard, Acid Rain, or Rain of Vengeance, etc. whereas multi-targeting spells would be something like Locust Swarm, Firebomb with Flash Fire rune, Entangling Shot with Chain Gang rune, etc. Do all the enemies affected by these count as "a hit" each?

Edit: I'm going to believe that they're not going to count as "separate" hits each, but a man can hope, right?!

I believe they said that you can get lucky and find rares with better stats than uniques. Set items seem better than uniques as well.

That's always been true. But they are thinking about giving Uniques, literally some unique abilities. So you might be getting special enchantments you can't get anywhere else, even if over all you can get superior rares.

EDIT: For once I got some spare time in the next two days, and Blizzard hit me with a 8 hour down time. Guess I will go to bed and start playing in the morning.

EDIT2: The forums are filled with people who have no idea what's happening. Blizzard is horrible at telling people when they turn the servers off as the game certainly doesn't tell me anything. I shouldn't have to Google in order to find out why I am not able to play. I guess they just don't care.

I don't know how spells work with Life on Hit, but for melee, you do not get full benefit from each hit of an AoE.
I don't know the formula, but benefit is spread across the hits.

Otherwise, high Life on Hit melee would be invincible.

EDIT: Btw, we finally have solo monk inferno clear reports.
That leaves.... just Witch Doctor left? I don't recall seeing a solo inferno clear on WD yet.

There is a service status forum. The schedulded maintenance has been announced 3 days ago.

I know blizz has done a lot of crap regarding D3's service and they've become a big bad, soulless company and stuff but maybe we should limit the criticism to things that blizz is actually guilty of, otherwise we'd start sounding like nagging grannies

Or official battle.net forum posters, otherwise known as forum trolls.

That place is a cesspool.

I will complain whenever I become unable to play a single player game on my own computer at a time of my own choosing. This is my right to do so for as long as I play this game.

You know what, i agree with you. Dying because of lag on single player mode just feels stupid. You don't even have mad 9 year olds to yell at you to make yourself feel better. Not being able to play at all just makes me feel a bit cheated.

[aohige]

Well, I take back a little bit. There are funny posts like these in the official forum as well.

I wasn't asking for why life on hit is good I was just saying I have a fist weapon kind of like what you want, which I don't need.

[Duo Maxwell]

Does life on hit work on multiple hits ability or AoE ability?

[Jazzrat]

Blizzard should make better use of their game launcher. The news is so outdated and could have helped if they put the server status on it. Nobody reads the forum and for your sanity sake, you probably shouldn't either
