I started up my barb again to play very sporadically so as to not have to get 100+ paragon levels all at once between March and the actual release date of RoS.

Thisis what I ended up with after spending a couple million on WW gear. It's still not great, I can do MP8 trash but I didn't balance vitality/life% well enough, and MP10 is still out of reach. At least I assume that's the biggest issue. I would need considerably more dps to do it efficiently too, mainly because items with IAS/crit/critdmg are ungodly expensive now. Legs should have been Inna's Temperance and boots Ice Climbers too, but again there was nothing cheap that was remotely decent at the time I was buying so I stuck with Immortal King's stuff. And my Skorn isn't terrible, but it really should have had life steal on it.
shamelessly stole your build :p

I'm slowly farming up so gold so I can buy the items heh.

I ended up getting cheap Inna's legs and Ice Climbers with 12% movement speed and a secondary strength roll so my armor improved somewhat since I made that post. Swapped in a Mara amulet temporarily since I no longer needed Blackthorne for the set bonus. Skorn with life steal, strength, and respectable dps? Forget it. You're talking something like half a billion. Can't switch to DW either, Echoing Fury + something else really good is crazy expensive too.

Kind of at a roadblock now though. I want to replace either my IK helm or gloves, but there's nothing better for a remotely decent price. Crafting isn't cooperating for gloves, and Mempo isn't better than IK unless you pay a fortune for it. So I just farm A1-A2 rares at MP5, because the xp doesn't seem any worse than MP8 trash and I need the demonic essence drops to keep crafting.

I copied what you have currently. I am slowly getting cheaper/crappier versions of what you have with your current build. Still need Innas, Mara, IK Chest, and Vile ward. I got IK boots instead of Climbers because IK was dirt cheap and they are way better than my boots.

What kind of dps are you doing Vorph? I'm doing 75k with shout.

His paper dps says 140k, maybe like 170k with shout. I'm running a few different things and sit at around 175k, 215k buffed. Spent a decent chunk of money on some of it, some others not so much.

Then again my stats aren't updated on my Barb since its rocking an INT hellfire ring. XD

Edit: Anyone have a Zunimassa's Journey (legacy) that I could borrow? I have the 4 other pieces and decided to be an achievement hunting gaylord, but the Journey is no cheaper than 50 mil on the AH (lol?) even though its garbage. I just need to equip it once my WD gets 60.

With crappy gear you have to be careful how you get your paper dps rather than just going for as much as possible. I am shooting for 42% IAS (17 ticks) and 50% crit chance. Most of my crit dmg will come from Skorn itself, and strength I mainly get by searching for the 150+ version of legendaries instead of settling for the <100 roll ones. The last thing you want is to be running out of fury all the time. Sadly, I've only hit the mark for crit% and I have a long way to go in order to get IAS where it needs to be (glove, ring, amulet at minimum). I could use another 10k hp and at least one more AR item too... ugh.

Thanks for the tip. Most of the items I have are negligible in terms of cost. The cheapest I got is 10k and the most expensive so far is 100k. I'm just trying to get some gear so I can grind paragon faster.

17 ticks = how many WW ticks from full fury?

17 ticks in 3 seconds per tornado, IIRC.

Technically I guess I want 43% haste, since 1.42857 APS is also a breakpoint for whirlwind ticks.

Can you still skip parts of the story by killing Diablo with someone else to unlock next difficulty if you have the right level? I'm about to hit 60 in act3 hell so I'd like to unlock Inferno right away and not finish Hell, just not sure if that's still possible as I remember them changing some shit. Can you do it in a pub? If not is anyone on euro server able to run me through Diablo Hell or just open the game(can easily kill it).

About rerolling, i did a 13min video to show the result of a 10 hours character. 3 hours to level up to 70, using bounty only.

Crusader, of course with the broken beam. Item check at the end.

After watching the RoS stream I decided I would at least try to get my monk to paragon 100. Played it for a few hours of non stop grinding and I had to stop. I can't seem to get into it after playing the console version and watching the RoS streams. Games like this is all about the loot. The preview of loot 2.0 for the console version just made the game so damn enjoyable. Playing it for a few hours and actually getting worthy upgrades didn't make me feel like I wasted my time. Plus playing Path of Exile didn't help either. Blizz should take notes from GGG about making an ARPG. Think I will try to level to P100 when loot 2.0 hits the PC.

So started gearing my wizard since I figured I'd try to get a hellfire before the end of the year, ended following a budget guide that explained how to gear up for MP4-5 for a million using CMWW, only had 700k, ended up only spending 500k and clearing mp4 easily, pretty nice. My gear is awful, it's like the cheapest legendaries/sets items I could find by bidding instead of buying out(a lot of those were like minimum 200k buyout for anything, but I managed to grab shitty ones for like 30-100k by waiting 5-30mins). Spec is insanely annoying to play though, have to mash 3 keys constantly, it's aggravating. Just need to finish inferno to unlock all the acts then farm the key shit, hopefully I find someone that can carry me on the ubers in mp10 in chat to get the ring, and fuck I'll just use whatever stats I get.

It is certainly a lot better than it was at release. Vendoring stuff actually makes decent money and lower mps are very accessible. Don't know about farming paragon though, looks boring as all fuck. Maybe I'll level a barb since they're even cheaper than wiz to gear, supposedly you can run mp10 with 3-5millions of gear if you're patient on the bids and grab efficient stuff. Not like super fast but if you can kill mp10 at all, you can fly through mp5-6 for paragon xp anyway so that'd be ok, and spec looks a lot less button intensive.

As for D2, looked at the stream, god it looks like shit. At the same time it's not so bad when you're playing it, maybe I'll try playing again but I don't really care about ladder shit anyway, I just fuck around since I never played the game seriously.

Edit: In case of someone plays SC Euro and want to carry me for a hellfire, my bnet thingie is pyros#2100. I can't really do a lot of damage, but I can probably freeze decently enough.

I ended up just ignoring all the CM guides, I found the build annoying as fuck, so I'm just doing Blizzard/healing blades, if you have enough dps you can facetank a lot.Sewala - Community - Diablo III

Playing a few hours every week, grinding to Paragon is no fun but I might get Hellfire ring eventually. With adventure mode, I don't even want to run alts to 60 because it's so boring.
