We must be twins and not know it, dude!

It's basically what all Monk's are stuck doing. I really need a weapon with good attack speed and Life on Hit, but to even get a damage side-grade, or slight downgrade compared to what I have, I'd have to drop 5-10m at least. For an upgrade in any slot at this point I need at least 1m and probably closer to 2m. It's really annoying that I have a character with pretty solid stats (about 30k life, 650~ Resist to All, 20k dps, and 6.7k armor) and I still can't hold my own in Act II without dancing around mobs for several minutes and\or picking and choosing my battles to an extreme degree.

I'm also quite positive a lot of people are hoarding the good items they find and waiting for the RMAH, which is pretty ridiculous. I also don't like that DH's have a leg up on all other classes by being able to equip a 2H and an Off-hand (Quiver) for an extra slot of stats. The DH's on BNet swear it makes sense because the Quiver goes on their back or at their hip, but if that's the case why can't my Monk equip 2 fist weapons and a shield since his fists are his actual weapons and shields just sit on their backs when attacking.

Dunno how you dudes go to the butcher but, if you take the time to track down and kill 5 packs of elites while trying to find the butcher, it will give you a boost in magic find and gold find. I change my quest and start @ the cursed hold for this.

If i don't do this, i get 4 or 5 blue items from the butcher. If i do, i get 3 to 5 yellow items + 3 to 5 blue items from the butcher, not to mention the around 50000-60000 gold from the halls of agony 2 until the butcher.

Sure: it takes more time but the reward is also better.

Yup thats all I've been doing.

 

[xenocide]

Yup thats all I've been doing.

An even better method is to start the quest at Cursed Hold, but go to the Cemetary and clear the Defiled Crypts (3 of them) because you'll get yourself 4+ stacks of NV and it only takes about 10 minutes to clear. Once done there go to Halls of Agony Level 2 and clear as usual. You basically spend 5-10 extra minutes and get a ton of drops added to your total, because you'll see from 4-7 or 8 Elites throughout the area. I always also do the final room with Tyreal since the turn in ents you 3300 Gold extra, and takes 90 seconds at most.

So you haven't encountered it yet? The bug? 5 stacks of NV, with 20+ minutes left before it expires, would suddenly disappear right after the cutscene for the Butcher?

nv?

 

[n-ster]

something of Valor

 

[xenocide]

nv?

Naphalem Valor. The Magic\Gold Find buff you get when you kill Elites\Champions as a level 60.

Really? I'm pretty sure mine is still there. I'll have to actually double check next time.

So you haven't encountered it yet. It's not an "often" bug though, as rare as the double Izual.

 

[n-ster]

my cousin has done hundreds of runs, no double Izuals, no NV bugs (I watched him play everyday for the longest time xD)

It's pretty interesting. The first time I was questing through izual with friends we got a double. Did not go very well.

well he mostly has done the Butcher though 80+% of the time

I think I'm about 5 million gold short of being able to farm act 3 effectively now. I should be able to do it after buying new pants and a new shield.

 

[DannibusX]

I killed Butcher on Inferno yesterday, but I am having trouble on Act II. I'm starting to think I'm going to need to go with a glass cannon type gearing. My DPS is just under 18k and I can survive for a little while simply because I'm not getting hit, it's just that my damage output doesn't put enemy packs down fast enough.

What class? If your ranged, yes go kite with high damage, but don't completely drop hp or resists.

 

[DannibusX]

Witch Doctor. I won't be dropping them altogether, but taking 50k a hit from regular mobs is pretty disheartening, so I'm going to gear for output and kite like a mofo. I'm pretty sure vitality and resists will improve as I improve my damage.

Gotta farm the eff out of Act I though.

 

[n-ster]

isnt the patch tomorrow? farm act 1 until tomorrow lol, then play with a friend

They're not nerfing acts 2/3 tomorrow. Tomorrow is when they do the RMAH. We'll probably be looking more at the end of the month for patch 1.0.3.

 

[DannibusX]

It pisses me off that the RMAH is launching tomorrow, so all the good gear will migrate to that.

damn that sucks

I've already noticed less good items posted. It's getting harder for me to find upgrades today. I feel like i'm so close to having act 3 farmable too.

If people are willing to spend real cash on virtual items then more power to the sellers who can suppliment their incomes with a little more from the game they play.

I'm farming act I for tomes to make my gem dude awesome. Why? Because I can, I find it fun, and I make gems to give away to my friends who play lower level characters.
I still get my ass kicked in the Cathedral in inferno. lol
I now have 5 monks of varying levels (1,5,15,33,60) if anyone needs/wants a party add.
