Was wondering if someone could take a look at my barb and my monk and critique them. I was originally split between rend and WW with my barb, I ended up preferring WW but I think my gear is pretty unfocused. My monk I slapped together with whatever leftover cash I had at the time, so she seems kind of all over the place.

Mainly looking to up my damage on my barb, anything over mp1-2 and elites just seem to take forever.

Drop warcry and animosity, add overpower killing spree and blood thirst. You have really high ehp and really low life sustain.

Your left ring has no good dps mods. Get something like a unity or really anything with crit chance.

Don't worry about crit damage, build your gear so you can sustain wotb is always the first priority. You are at the 7.5/7.5 breakpoint so with 5ik and 25% cc you should be able to keep it up easily. The best advice I can give is that if you are buying anything for your ww barb and aren't consulting d3rawr first you are fucking up.

Tenks, 2h ww without wotb? Wat?

The RNG is making me feel like I'm doing something wrong. 6 Act III key runs on mp5, one key so far. Before that, 10 runs to get the Act II key. It's just 5-stack NV -> kill key warden, right?

Actually, come to think of it, my past two runs have resulted in a total of >one< demonic essence, so I think I'm just cursed atm.

Nah it's just RNG. I've done some Ghom runs and gotten a demonic essence from almost every elite pack and then some where I get none. And this is on mp1/2

Ishad, that tip about main handing a mace & getting an EF for offhand was awesome. Crazy improvement to my barb.

Any tips for my dude?http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/B...7/hero/2712395

(I don't actually gear for gold find, it just showed up on the pieces I bought)

Scour around for places you can add more vitality. Your ehp is fine but your health is low. What you really need to do is get one more slot of ias. The best place to add this is your jewelry. Innas and tals are hard on a budget barb because you have to sacrifice big ehp for ias. I'm tied to my mainhand and can't upgrade without spending 100s if millions on gear to spread out vitality because of this.

If you can get an amulet with higher crit you can switch your ik helm for a mempo. As always, check d3rawr before buying anything.

RNG gods were dropping (shitty) legendaries from the sky for me yesterday but I think I got a total of 2 keys in about 10 runs.

man mp5 is a fuckin blast. 4 legendaries in 3 key runs, 3 crap and then this bad boy. I think that's a perfect CD roll, with good int and vit.

Yeah pretty legit WH for CMWW

Agree with Gavin also. I'm thrilled they made farming MP5 a viable XP route. I caved and started doing MP0 Alk runs towards the end simply because the XP from MP5 was a joke. I wish they released this version of Diablo 3 instead of that shitfest we had to work with at the start. I bet I would see a number higher than 2 on my friends list.

I have done 12 key runs on various ACTS at MP5 and I have not gotten a key drop yet. I have gotten DE's and a couple of crap Legs though. Something has changed with the Key drops...

Good ones are so expensive =/
I have a 150int/150vit/66allresis one and I wonder how big of a boost a 40%cd one would be?

People have been saying stuff like this so I think I should make a post.

Basically this site you import your armory profile and it parses a shitload of information for your guy. It will tell you how much DPS you gain if you add another point of crit, CD, primary ... everything. Tells you your EHP and tells you how much EHP you'll gain per point of armor, allres and things like that. It is a really good site to try and target what will be the biggest bang for the buck on your character.

Yeah and Jboots are faster now.

I've gotten 6 keys in 8-9 runs on mp5.

Just got another witching hour too, lol. 115 str 93 int 8% AS 42% CD

Nice! Witching Hour's are easy money. You are right, your first WH has a perfect CD roll, and a really good vit roll. The int roll is above average. The only downside is your IAS is 8% on it and not 9%. It's still worth hundreds of millions though.

There are only a handful of items where you are happy to see it drop even un-ID'd because you know its gonna be worth millions even with a crappy roll.. Witching Hour, Inna Pants, Leoric Ring, and Puzzle Ring come to mind. Maybe Nat's Ring also? Any others you guys can think of?

As a quick aside if you're doing something similar to a high MP Alk run you can set your quest to kill the spider bitch, then kill Azmo go to act 4 and kill the first two bosses that drop plans. I was finding this more fun than just Ghom last night. To more elites to kill as well.

Thanks Tenks, I'll have to give that a try.

You'll find the most elites in Silver Spire 1, and can finish up in Gardens if needed. The keymaster beat the living piss out of me and 2 other well geared players, I think we each took like 2-3 deaths. At least he dropped the recipe for us.

In summary, fuck the A4 keymaster.

yeah I got him once, no plans. I think I could have just burst him down with hammer spam if he hadn't come with a pack of frozen jailer succubi

Got him and have 3 machines. If someone is planning on doing some organ runs tonight, I'd love to tag along Phineas#1798
