yeah seriously. One of my other friends have no fangs, the other has no spines. We're running on mp7 as well and shit just don't drop.

Wish there was a way to convert 3 of the same organs into another organ. Would make me much happier.

i do MP10 runs with a barb and we were able to carry 2 dead people through all 3 ubers without much of an issue. if you need an mp10 run to craft yourself a key, hit me up and i'll get you in on a run. you'd have to supply machines though lol

Thanks man, I'll definitely add you and hit you up some time. I've got plenty of machines.

Figures, I have a few hours to kill and the auth servers are down again (and have been for the last hour).

Yeah. I just bought new gear for my GF and now I can't log in to give it to her.

A lot of rumors popping up on the bnet forums that D3 americas are being hacked since it's only specifically that auth server down, and the game is actually up for anyone already logged in. People getting starting to change their bnet passwords now.

I love watching the madness spread on the forums

[edit]It's back up now (for me anyhow).

Servers were down around 8:30pm EST, I think. They started getting screwy around 7pm.

Oh well, made my second Hellfire Ring -- what a piece of shit, it was worse than the first one. I'm done with Hellfire Rings. Now I got my two rings and get a nice 42% boost to experience (35 me, 7 from follower).

I don't think Xp boost works on your follower. However, I might be wrong. And don't give up on Hell Fire rings just yet. It took me maybe 5 to get an extremely good one. In fact, it is very hard to replace it now. =(

EDIT: Actually just checked and HF rings on followers do give you an extra 7%. I didn't know that.

Ya, they carry the 20% bonus over just like mf/gf.

 

[Imp]

Ya, turns out experience boosts (%) and +experience (+10/100/whatever per kill) carry over at 1/5 from followers. I'd like a Leoric's ring or whatever it's called to stick on my follower, but it's something like 20+ million.

 

[smackababy]

Started playing my DH again last night. Had zero gear so I spent like 3 mil on a few pieces and used all my barbs trifecta stuff. Sadly, I have more STR than DEX now. =(

Anyone have any suggestions for my Wizard? Trying to boost DPS but there's only a handful of things I can switch and by doing do I seem to lose a chunk of life (like my belt and shoulders).

You have 0 life on hit? I'd focus on getting that first, then a Witching Hour would be great. Also, Lacuni's will give you more attack speed. Your health is stupid high. 91k is way overkill. You could lose 50k, get close to 2k LoH and be just fine.

35-40k health can easily be more than enough and like mentioned above you have no LS or LOH. You should swap your will for one with ls on it. At your dps level this should be enough for right now. You also really should be at 24% run speed since you're using a archon setup. There is a big penalty in archon uptime if you aren't at 24%.

The other thing that I noticed about your build is that you're getting a ton of your damage from int. Critical mass is the main stay of the wizard and carries multiple builds. You need crit chance and fast attack speed to proc CM. In you're current form you don't have nearly enough of either to carry different builds. Personally, I would start dropping int in spots for IAS/CC like your amulet and right ring for example. That amulet isn't very good in reality.

First of all, you will die to reflect damage packs with zero LS at even moderate MP levels let alone MP5+. You're not even running the blood magic rune, change that. Wizards cannot move though maps as fast as barbarians, they lack +MS skills like RLTW and archons have to stop to shoot the laser. So farming higher MP levels in the way to go.

You have two options to deal with reflect damage. Start stacking physical resistance gear or get a lifesteal weapon.

You need around 1700 physical resistance with prismatic armor in archon to deal with RD with no lifesteal, which means almost every piece of gear needs physical resist and all resist. This may sound difficult, but than you can get a nice non-LS weapon with huge DPS, CD, and a socket like an Echoing Fury.

The second option is to get a life steal weapon with at least 1.4 APS so wand or sword (or an extremely powerful 1.3 APS weapon).

Regardless of which route you want to take, you need a new weapon. Make sure it is a black damage weapon (non-elemental, only +Min/Max, +%Dmg), with at least CD and a socket if you can afford it (you wont be able to find a CD, Socket, LS damage cheap).

Get rid of the Chantodo's offhand for at least a 6/6/5 Triumvirate with 200+ average damage, 250 int, and a bonus stat of vit, socket, etc.

Get at least 40 average damage on your Tal Rasha's amulet, must be a 6% damage one. (End game is CC, CD, AS/AD)

Get at least 40 average damage on your Zuni Pox. (End game is CC, CD, AS/AD)

Get some Lacuni's, the 12% MS is too important. If you can't afford CC, get AR.

AR or physical resist Witching Hour with at least 9% AS and 44 CD.

AR Tal Rasha's chest is huge DPS, big money.

Your boots are nice, might be worthwhile to look at some Zuni boots though with at least 180 int and 6% damage. You will gain the 3 piece set bonus as well. So you can skip getting AR there and only look for physical resist.

You do not need 92K life if properly geared with solid AR and physical resist so you can lose a lot of that and still be ok.

Stacking all the "adds 6% damage", plus the average damage, plus the added CD, all on a black damage weapon will mean big gains.

I've noticed that if you want to play above MP5 or in a group to get machines or do ubers, you need a ton of Life on Hit or Life Steal. I can do about 146k dps with my main gear, but any time I get into trouble (99% of the time doing uber runs), I go back to my cheapo Manticore with LoH and LS, plus a ring with high resistances and LoH. Unfortunately, dps is only around 95k with that.

I don't know if this is true. However, I do notice getting a lot more healthglobes on my DH than on my barb. I might just be picking them up spinning around so much, but it might be a mechanic.

What MP uber should I be looking for on my 100k DPS DH?

what's your life/res/loh/ls/etc. at?

 

[smackababy]

I am around 40k HP, 300 AR, no LS/LoH outside of Shadow Power.

 

[silverpig]

I am around 40k HP, 300 AR, no LS/LoH outside of Shadow Power.

For reference, I'm about 35k hp, 135k dps, 850 AR, and no LS/LoH other than shadow power (and I use gloom, so added 35% dmg reduction). I use night stalker, have ~56% crit chance and have extra discipline, so I can keep shadow power up for a good long time.

I do think my DPS is higher because I have some +% bonuses for specific skills on my gear (+14% spike trap dmg, +9% bola dmg)

I can do MP7 pretty well, and MP8 with a decent group of people who are about equivalent to me. Most people I end up playing with are lower spec'd so I haven't done much at MP9/10.

 

[smackababy]

Well if anyone wants to do some MP7+ ubers let me know. I will be carrying my GF through on my barb to get her a ring or two.
