I'm at pLvl 12 and currently farming act 3. I'm at work now and can't wait to test my luck again today. I got 3 legendaries (1 sucked) and 2 sets.

These are some of the good items i got.

Okay sounds about right then. I'm getting close to plvl 4 and have 1 legendary that is really good. I've been farming mostly act 2 and a little of act 1.

I might end up selling the legendary helm I have and go back to my old helm. I'll throw a nice topaz in it to gain the xp quickly.

Actually you need a ruby which costs quite a fortune nowadays. I've been gaining XP quickly because of the bonus XP from # of monster kills or objects destroyed lol.

Hm... that reminds me that I should replace the topaz in my wizard's helm with a ruby.

Not sure who's playing Witch Doctors, but I'm trying to get my first one up to level 60 (I'm at 55 now). While I was in Nightmare pre-1.04 my pets were starting to turn to mush, but post-patch they seem nearly indestructible. Even the dogs. Could be that my gear is decent (I have a few good reduced level req. pieces), but they are so good in hell I don't even need to use passives to buff them. I rarely even see their health tick down except in champ + elite battles. That will surely change in Inferno, but I have hopes now that they might actually be viable if they get to use my armor/resists/life.

what is basically what they did to the WD summons?

better life, force armor like ability, better use of player stuff (life/regen), and reduced dmg from champ effect (like arcane rays). That last one is pretty impressive - they can sit in arcane and not seem to take dmg, at least in hell. I have 200-300 in resists and 3-4k armor, but still.

it takes stats from the WD? so now WD are likely to be somewhat tanky to be able to buff his summons too? and where does the damage come from?

Right. My bad.

Yeah they totally fixed them. Check the changelog for the full description of what they did. I love playing inferno as a DH with a few WDs on my team. I can just stand still and lob massive damage at everything as the pets tank everything.

Basically they made it so the pets can only ever take a max hit of 10% of their full health I think. There's no such thing as one-shotting a zombie dog now - it takes at least 10.

Don't forget to sleep when you get a chance, don't want to read about you on the news

Some people find legendaries every day, it's crazy. I've found 5 in 250 hours or so, no set pieces, all worth next to nothing. That was pre patch though, so their worthlessness was expected. Now finding a legendary would be 100x more awesome because they actually have worth.

Heard someone bought a bow for 2 billion gold, did a lot of crit damage at stock plus two sockets I guess, and like 1400+ dmg.

Hehe don't worry, I just try to be as efficient as possible. I have a day job so I can't really compete with those dedicated gamers.

Ice climbers and Mempo of Twilight is one of if not the best items (Boots/Helm)for the Barb as I can see.

2 billion gold is what? $3k?

I believe I read a blue post (if they're called that in D3) that the minimum # of hits a pet can take, not factoring in regen, etc., is 5.

If I remember correctly, it's 10% of their base health. It does not include the health gained from your own health.

I am at plvl 4 and haven't had much time to play. I can make all gems in the game if anyone wants one made.

The bow that sold for 2 billion was a legendary Manticore.

1344 dps
170 dex
84 crit dmg
2 open sockets (90% jewels already in the sockets)
IAS also, forgot the exact number. I believe it had 1.22 aps when factored in.

Are witch doctors super buffed? Think they will get nerfed?

I always wanted to make a witch doctor, but never got around to it.

Wow, I'm slow. Just realized why my gold was selling so well: no longer $.25 per $100k, not $1.25/ million, or $.125 per 100k.

Well I gave a try to the patch for a few hours on my Barbarian and Wizard so far (both Level 60). I'm still only in Act 1 Inferno with my Wizard, but I can do some (key word, some) Act 3 on my Barbarian. I have a good feeling overall, the patch seems to bring my interest up a notch for the game, the changes I've seen and tried are definitely good. I feel that the way the game is now is just about how it should have been at release, and had it been like that since day one there wouldn't have been that much of a negative feedback during the first weeks.

I'll keep playing occasionally, but it's better than not playing at all. I can say now that I am having "more" fun, but I don't know... there's still something missing. It might be that the game is so linear and story-driven or... the maps are small and confined, or the enemies are almost always the same or... I'm not sure can't quite put my finger on the culprit(s) but it sure as Hell doesn't feel as addictive and fun as... well, as Diablo 2 was.

That, or I'm just getting old.

Might be a combination of all of those. I'm almost 31. Was 19 when D2 came out. Plus once you get sufficiently frustrated/pissed at something, even if the root of those frustrations are fixed, those feelings can still linger.

Pets are beast now. They were tanking for me and my dh buddy in act 3 inferno yesterday. barely die. I use fierce loyalty and have a ton of thorns and life regen though. It's too bad they didn't add acid cloud to the list of vq attacks. Probably cuz it's a secondary attack though.
