Server's down. 

Respec'ing again.  Crit chance to 35.5 and dmg at +199 now.  50k crits with magic missile are hilarious.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Still level 52

[Human Snorenado]

Still level 52

smh, I'm gonna have two level 60's before you have one at this rate.

[pilonv1]

Still only on level 40 with one character

[Brehvolution]

I got my Chickmonk up to lvl 38 and I already started another character.

[Phoenix Dark]

Are you charged for putting items on the dollar AH if it doesn't sell?

[Human Snorenado]

Are you charged for putting items on the dollar AH if it doesn't sell?

no

In the real-money auction-house, for equipment such as weapons and armor, a fixed transaction fee will be deducted from the seller for each piece of equipment successfully sold.

Make sure you've already attached a paypal account to your bnet account unless you want to be stuck with bnet balance, though.

[Phoenix Dark]

Put a couple legendary items on there, we'll see what happens

[Human Snorenado]

I really need to NOT price all the stuff my Wizard's carrying around on him, I'm pretty sure I could sell some of it for $15+ per piece.  If I do then I'll probably just liquidate his gear, then start over.  I'm still kicking myself over that legendary ring that I sold for 8 million... thing probably goes for $50 easy on the RMAH.

[Momo]

I chucked a right bunch of shit on the RMAH a few mins ago. I'm talking level 25 yellows at 10 Euros a piece. Time to find out the extent of euro stupidity.

[pilonv1]

I did that too, mid level 30s for $15. And one level 50 ring I bought for 2000 gold a few weeks ago.

[CajoleJuice]

what? holy crap.

[Momo]

To be fair I dont expect my shit to sell on the RMAH I just needed some temporary space

[Momo]

If I do make any money off anything it's going straight back into PC games/hardware

[pilonv1]

Elite mobs who spam fear are easily the most annoying thing about this game.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Ugh. I'm back on the junk.

[Phoenix Dark]

Elite mobs who spam fear are easily the most annoying thing about this game.

What about fear spam+shields+fire aoe+sentries 

[Human Snorenado]

Being a ranged character, the worst imo are jailer vortex waller desecrator.  Oh sure, let's make sure you keep me in place as you murderize me, ty sir.  You pretty much HAVE to run illusionist as a passive to have any hope of beating those assholes as a wizard.

[Vizzys]

i think molten+vortex or invulnerable minions is still my least favs to run into

Still in nightmare so haven't seen them yet. Molten as a barb is painful. Vampiric also makes it tough if you're waiting on cool downs.

In Inferno, you don't have to worry about Fear because you're always running away anyway.

[pilonv1]

At the girlfriends place, her brother is botting his way to 400k an hour. Wasn't aware it was so simple this early.

[Vizzys]

I sold another item for monies

Put that shut up for cheap cause no one is buyin more expensive stuff i notice

[Momo]

I put all my shit up for 2 euros now. :'(

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Yeah, but adjusted for "he will get caught and lose everything," that' actually 0k an hour.

Legit?  I don't know.  Glad I've refocused on a crit chance/dmg build though.  Sell all of your IAS gear now boritos before everyone gets wise to the incoming nerfs.

[naff]

I knew the nerfs were coming, though I was hoping they were going to go with the plan to make it so IAS had diminishing returns when you stacked it so you could still have 1 baller piece of IAS gear and it be worth it  :'( So far I've only got some cheap blue IAS gear anyways, with my low ilvl inferno gear + 35% IAS I can run A1 Inferno pretty easily. Soon as I touch Act 2 I get boned though, and I'm not putting in the hours to grind up to the gear req.

[Vizzys]

I sense a shitstorm brewing

[Human Snorenado]

My plan is to keep up with my crit chance/dmg build and slowly swap out my gear that doesn't have sockets for roughly equivalent stuff with sockets and stuff fully leveled topaz gems into it and increase my dps that way.  Of course, there's always the chance that after the nerfs happen IAS stuff craters on the AH and you can get stuff for cheap.  As it is now it's crazy- I sold my one IAS item (a ring with 12% IAS, 2.5 crit chance and 22% crit dmg) for 4 million a couple minutes ago.  I put it up on the AH and it got bought within 30 minutes...

edit: also, has anyone got any of the jeweler design pages for more powerful gems to drop?  Haven't seen one in Acts 1, 2 or the beginning of 3.  See a BS plan every now and then though.

[pilonv1]

No doubt. He doesn't seem too concerned though.

Also ouch at those IAS nerfs.

[naff]

Wow. Rares are so overpriced, I picked up two blue rings each with +15% IAS and +50-70 dex for just over 10k a piece a week ago.

[Smooth Groove]

People have gotten much smarter.  It's getting impossible to sell off low level gear.  But then again, 100 gold is a bargain for many of my items. 

[pilonv1]

Is that 100 gold more than you'd get for vendoring it? I'm just vendoring everything now, not worth the time to list level 40 items

You could probably get millions for those now, no kidding.  Everybody is on IAS and it's completely baffling... Blizzard has SAID they're going to nerf it.  The data (if you believe it) is out SHOWING HOW BAD they're gonna nerf it.  But people are still paying a really high premium for it on the AH.

Honestly, on rings, amulets, gloves etc it won't be useless but it's not gonna be what it was.  The real kick in the balls is gonna be on weapons... that IAS% is factored into the weapon's DPS value.  So, your 850 dps wand with 10% IAS just lost some dps, enjoy.  Like I said, I've already sold my IAS stuff but I think you'd be crazy not to at this point while people are still inexplicably buying.

[Joe Molotov]

Time to put all my IAS% stuff on RMAH.

[Human Snorenado]

Time to put all my IAS% stuff on RMAH.

Dooooo it!

I would price it a bit less than comparable stuff just so it sells quick and you can guarantee yourself some quick cash.  Note that all of my experience with this in the past couple of days is on the Gold AH; no clue how stuff is going on the RMAH.

[pilonv1]

Going to buy a bunch of +EXP gear tonight for some alt characters and try to power level them. Getting bored with the shitcanning my barbarian is getting in solo.

Maybe if they're distinguished mentally-challenged. I just checked, Attack Speed 15% + Dex, max buyout < 20k and I get pages and pages. People just go nuts for dem rares. Crazy that somebody paid 4 mil for your 12% IAS + some crit stats ring  that's a lot of grinding/money spent buyin gold to waste on something so average. I am definitely going to try putting stuff up at more silly prices in future.

edit: IAS + crit dam + crit chance is a much nicer combo than IAS + dex though. A build around that would be cool, but too rich for my blood.

[Human Snorenado]

Yeah, crit chance/dmg is probably getting nerfed next. 

IAS on top of that is just absurd.

[Human Snorenado]

Fuuuuuuck didn't think it'd be out until next week.  1.0.3 hits tomorrow Boritos!

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5837135682

We will be performing scheduled maintenance for Diablo III starting tomorrow at 3:00 a.m. PDT in order to deploy patch 1.0.3. We anticipate that maintenance will conclude and that all services will be available by approximately 1:00 p.m. PDT.

Holy shit

As a reminder, we will be nerfing "Increases Attack Speed" (IAS) effects on all items except quivers with the 1.0.3 patch. This change does affect unidentified items as well, as item affixes and ranges are determined at the time of an item being dropped, and not when identified.

"Yeah bro, those demon hunters?  No big deal.  Monks?  Fucking out of control, gotta reign them bastards in."

[Great Rumbler]

[Phoenix Dark]

Got a 5 stack a few times today and did The Butcher and found resplendant chests multiple times in the Northern Highlands tower. lv54-58 gear. Swords and bows with like 300dps. Yup

[Human Snorenado]

Just think, tomorrow you'll find 2 lv 63 rares in all that crap!

...I'm thinking about trying to farm Act 3 seriously after tomorrow.  I think my stats are good enough now depending on the depth of the nerfs.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

get me through A2 and you will have my bears by your side

[Human Snorenado]

get me through A2 and you will have my bears by your side

You gonna be on tonight?  I can try to help run you through it although honestly I'd rather wait until after the patch, as it's dick punchingly terrible as of now.

I actually have to work a lot Tues night and Weds afternoon, so I won't be on much the next two days sadly. 

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Nah I'm waiting for the patch, easier A2 with better loot, what's not to love?

[Human Snorenado]

Nah I'm waiting for the patch, easier A2 with better loot, what's not to love?

FACT.  I'm a known masochist though, just tried to beat Belial before the patch and ZOMG NO CAN DO.

[Phoenix Dark]

bah

It's not an issue of difficulty to me, moreso a problem with drop rates artificially making the game difficult. I've spent a lot of time farming to no avail, and all my current gear came from the AH. I hate having to wait for a patch before completing content in a game...but in this case I don't feel bad.

[Human Snorenado]

...I don't think Kripp is an AMURICAN, but yeah just watched that.  They were so def geared (obviously) that it was a like 30 min trudge fest of epic slowness.

[Phoenix Dark]

whoa grats kripp

And a major SMH @ the asswipes ddos'ing him

To be fair Blizz certainly knows if someone else has beaten their content first. Same with WoW

To be fair, don't make the mistake of thinking I want to discuss bullshit like this seriously

[Human Snorenado]

1.0.3 is live in the US, AH still down but whatevs.  Played some 4 player act 2 and while it was still not "easy" per se it was much less "dick punchingly awful".  You could actually farm there now.

Repair costs tho. 

[Phoenix Dark]

DC'd with a 5 stack, sorry bros

Now it seems to be downloading the patch again, weird

[Human Snorenado]

Apparently non 60 characters aren't earning any XP.

[Momo]

So Legendaries.

Is it even worth it to hold on to my shit for now since Blizzard will eventually buff them? I'm running out of storage space and am wondering if they are good nest eggs to keep. Of course there is no telling which and what stats on the legendary will be buffed, so it's a crap-shoot on what will be useful anyway

[CajoleJuice]

I think Legendaries that have already dropped aren't going to be buffed.

[Human Snorenado]

I think Legendaries that have already dropped aren't going to be buffed.

Correct.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

existing legendaries will not be buffed
