Diablo III: Not even death can save you from me

[teluoborg]

Igg is a good acronym because it makes a distinction with rlg, which will be necessary if you want to buy a top end game item from the RMAH.

 

[Ignatius]

But that's not gold though, that's just money.

 

[Wave⁂]

I have a feeling that top-tier items will be sold outside the AH to circumvent the 15%.

 

[Divinokage]

I just defeated Belial Act 2 hell hc.. Now act 3 hell, **** gets real.. for real now.. lol.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Nice! I'm in act 3 inferno, and have 2 characters around level 50 and another character around 25 and I have yet to find a single legendary or set piece . I wouldn't even mind if it was crappy I just want to find one .

 

[What's The Point]

The act skipping part of the patch meant they fixed the public game glitch where you could skip difficulties.

I've gotten 3 legendaries now. I got a sword that was actually an upgrade for my Wizard which astounded me, but then I bought one better on accident for my WD that I was leveling.

Dude are there hacked items?

No, it's a glitch currently.

You do this:

Spoiler

I accidentally discovered this while linking items in chat.
Copy and paste these into Diablo party chat:
|HItem:2,255305004:0::-1:0:-1:-1:-1:9:0:0:1:0:1:0:|h[Plan: Exalted Pallium]|h
|HItem:2,2064572100:-854430560::-1:0:-1:-1:-1:9:0:00:1:0:|h[Shimmering Essence (100)]|h
|HItem:2,1612259885:-1055229616:-1210749977,-1167522633,451735990,-362610029:-1:0:130733:1:19:9:537:537:0:0:6:0:|h[Resolute Vestments]|h
After a few minutes of experimentation, I have found that these values can be modified (with a few limits I've encountered). For instance, I present to you the fictitious Cuddlebear legendary:
|HItem:2,-1337761335:2113685101:-257301019,-257301019,-257301019,-257301019,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-1243748674,-857169247:-1:1:213635:16:6:9:470:470:0:0:6:0:|h[{c:ffff00ff}The Cuddlebear's Spear of Cute Death{/c}]|h
Kind of interesting. Hopefully they fix it soon in case there is any room for abuse.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Oh nice thanks for the info hylian

 

[DallasPhat]

So collecting stacks is ****ing useless in act4, only bosses that can drop extra loot cause of stacks are rakanoth and diablo...

Well in the next patch you will get guaranteed rare from packs so it might be worth it more then for the lvl64 drops. Though they are changing it so stuff drops everywhere so I'd imagine siegebreaker would be more efficient.

 

[DallasPhat]

You're better off farming ACT3, while the item tier in act 4 is slightly better but if you're able to farm act 4 you should probably just go to whimseyshire. Ugh.. I need to farm my staff. On another note I finally hit the 100k plateau!!!

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I'm working desperately to get to Inferno. My WD is right at Diablo Hell, and I know I could win. Thing is I'm not too sure how well WD would be in Inferno, especially since in my group of friends we have a WD/Barb already. Thinking of taking Monk to Inferno, I survive decently...though would I in Inferno? Prob. not =[

 

[Lovage]

what's the deal with whimsyshire

is it actually tough? has anyone beaten it on inferno? does it have better drop rates for lv. 63's?

 

[Hylian]

People can beat it on inferno yes, it is the hardest place to clear in the game on inferno from what I've heard. Dunno about how good it is to farm

 

[DallasPhat]

Highest drop table with a 50% chance for a pinata.

 

[Kal]

I've heard that it has the same drop statistics as Act IV for whatever difficulty you're on. I've also heard that it's a lot easier to farm than anything in Act IV.

I had a Nightmarish Staff of Herding, but it disappeared thanks to a glitch. Blizzard hasn't addressed the glitch at all, so I'm not going to recreate the staff until they do.

Interview with chinese gold farmer:

Spoiler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NUQTATy5dc

Thanks to He_lo for this summary:

"-Farms using 100 accounts

-Writes scripts for his own bots, and manages the accounts to run them

-Each account can be on America and EU at the same time, doubling each accounts effectiveness

-Approx. 300k gold for each account per hour

-Gold prices: $12 US for 1 million, gold prices dropped by half in one day and continue to drop

-Inflation is going to start getting outrageous if Blizzard does nothing to curb him and his kind

-Blizzard needs to raise money sink prices to compensate

-Approx. 10,000 accounts currently in use farming gold

-Bots run 24h a day

-Accounts are never banned, Warden cannot see the bots and likely will not for 3-4 months he figures

-People (farmers) are saving up tons and tons of gold for the day RMAH comes in ("people will sells billions of gold, undercutting, especially the Chinese")

-If the farmer can't make enough money to live off of, then the game has failed in his eyes, because then the game has been ruined for everyone because of inflation
Saving money for RMAH with a few others, selling some gold on grey market for little bits of money

( at this point the interviewer's CELL PHONE RINGS WTF )

-Approx. $6000 gold investment for the accounts

-Some farmers, but not him and his guys, use hacked and phished accounts ("very illegal")

-"mostly hacking and carding" keep your PAYPAL AND EMAIL SAFE WITH DIFFERENT PASSWORDS FROM ANYTHING

-bug in Blizzard store for EU (not specific on details)

-accounts are bought with stolen credit card #'s often (he only buys fresh CD keys however, legitimately)

-account hacking on Blizzard forum that was big issue a week or so ago: your computers are not being hacked, they hack FANSITES AND TEST ALL EMAIL AND PASS WORD COMBOS IN GAME (keep your D3 pass different than anything) - process is called 'comboing' - programs can create 'combo lists' with data that is hacked from other sites

-10 million email/passwords - only 1-10% may actually log in, but that is still a great number of accounts

-targeted sites: Diablo fan websites, Blizzard-related sites such as MMO-Champ "it's easy"

-forums are being compromised OVER AND OVER AGAIN - Paypal, banks, Facebook accounts may be in risk because of this behavior, people with combo lists (see above) will attempt to gain access to a wide swath of sites

-Cannot get anything out of the Blizzard website "they are bulletproof, logically"

-what Blizz can do - "increase sinks and prevent botters" "fix farming spots and exploits"

-Blizz is aware of all exploits and farming locations "it's all over Youtube!"

- what if you get banned "if we made profit, just buy new accounts and fix the problems [that got us banned]"

-reiterates that there are idiots who will get caught by Warden, but at the moment he is undetectable with a new method that Warden cannot see at the moment

 

[Kal]

-Inflation is going to start getting outrageous if Blizzard does nothing to curb him and his kind

Oh, what fun. Anyway, I'm skeptical about "comboing" being the reason for these account compromises, though it's certainly possible. If Blizzard were compromised, we'd probably never know. This article is an interesting read on the matter.

 

[Divinokage]

Sex amulet we found in HC...

 

[Hylian]

So should I have sold these boots for more? Cause they sold instantly for 1mil >_>.

[DallasPhat]

That's about right.

 

[What's The Point]

If you salvage an item with a gem in it you will keep the gem. Thought I'd point that out to ease worries or slightly cheapen desocketing to anyone unaware.

 

[Turazrok]

Should I have at least 1k health act 3 normal?

830 or so right now.



Or because I'm playing DH it doesn't matter

 

[Divinokage]

I had like 3.5k in Act 3 normal if I remember.. lol.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Idk figured below inferno. Just have enough not to die.

 

[Zoler]

Playing wizard, normal.

Stats:

DPS: 47k
HP: 23k
Resistances: ~410 (using force armor, not prismatic)
Armor: 4054 with force armor
Int: 1577

Farmed butcher for 20-25 runs, before going through act 2 and then farming goblins for maybe 4-5 hours, got 5 million in the bank right now and trying to progress through act 3.

What skill setup do you use DallasPhat?

Personally I use Blizzard (snowbound), Venom Hydra, Force Weapon, Force Armor, Shock Pulse and Arcane Orb (obliteration)

I figure the next uprade I want will be a new weapon, right now I'm wielding a 2h mace.

1263,6 DPS
0,90 attacks per second
+277-651 Arcane damage

Not sure how little dps I should settle with, or stats. If I have to farm to 10 or 20 million I guess I will, not sure what the least I can spend and still get something worthwhile.

 

[Turazrok]

I just thought it was hilarious my dps was over 1/3 of my health in normal.

Well I'm personally running
Arcane Orb (Tap the Source)
Hydra (Venom)
Archon (Improved)
Diamond Skin (the one that bumps it to 20k lol, wasn't running this until I found myself having problems with reflect damage)
Magic Weapon (Force)
Energy Armor (Force Armor)

Passive are:
Glass Cannon
Temporal Flux
Astral Presence

I'm sitting at roughly
HP: 28k+
Resistance: 400-500 all
Armor: ~4200
DPS: 102k
Int: 2100+

I personally think1 hand + orb combo is better than a 2 hand weapon but since you're doing a kite build, I see how a heavy 2 hand weapon serves your build better. Also I would recommend you to drop arcane orb (since you already have blizzard and hydra) and instead try out teleport since you don't really have a defensive spell. If I had a slot to run teleport I definitely would, especially in such a heavy kite build like yours. Not only does it allow you to re-position yourself, it can also be used defensively.

 

[Zoler]

I switched my build to this and it's working WAY better =)

1. Teleport - Fracture
2. Venom Hydra
3. Force Weapon
4. Force Armor
5. Arcane Missile - Seeker
6. Blizzard - Stark Winter

I changed my gear to get more vitality, dropping some resistances but so worth it.

Stats:

DPS: 51k
HP: 32k
Resistances: ~215
Armor: 4167 with force armor

Siegebreaker is really easy now, did 2 runs so far and got some ok stuff except one which was awesome: Plan: Exalted Grand Phantom Bow

woop woop 2-3 million for me thx =D

 

[DallasPhat]

IS that the 6 property Bow? Are you playing on EU or NA? If you're on NA i'll purchase that off you.
Also.. so difficult to find good wizard stream. Everyone running the same Blizz, Hydra.. it's all about Archon baby.

 

[Zoler]

Sry I'm EU =(

Also Archon solo? In group I get it but... I guess you need to oneshot everything not to die instantly using Archon so 100k dps minimum

 

[DallasPhat]

I'll link you my stream, I streamed a few azmo run yesterday and you can judge if archon is viable or not.
www.justin.tv/dphat0
The build a ton of fun, and killing Azmo in 45 second is always nice.

 

[Zoler]

loooool dat pillar **** vs Azmodan =)

good ****
