How long is taking you guys to get all of the keys, and then the organs?

I've been doing a bunch of runs at MP1, and have yet to get a key or the blacksmith plans. I'm not geared well enough to do MP5-7 like I see people here are. I could do MP3, but it takes so much longer.

I'm not strong enough to do high mp levels, but if I remember correctly, mp2 is about 1/5 chance, and that is about what it drops for me. I've got the plans this way, and made a couple of machines, but there is no way in hell I'm trying the ubers until I can either solo a higher mp or work with a group at higher mp. Otherwise it will take forever, and just aggravate me.

Not too long. I got lucky on bs plan. First try on MP3. For keys, every other run or so on MP3 - 5 they drop. Uber runs are MP7 - 8. Went 3-3 last night, but thats pretty rare.

So you solo the key runs at MP3-5, but then bump up to MP7-8 for the ubers? Still solo?

He has it up for 150m. I'll be curious if it sells for that. There is one for 50m with no bids at 1 day left and it has 181str/34ar/8% ias. If it had 70+ ar it would easily be worth 400m

Yep. Thought I'd throw it up for something high first. If it doesn't sell, I'll lower it.

how much do you play per day? You literally find more legendaries in a day than I have in 6 months of playing

Not that much lately actually. Just a few hours on the weekends now. Maybe 30 hours in the past 4-5 weeks total. I only have one character and he's at paragon 32. This is with a radiant ruby in the helm socket too.

I've got quite a bit of magic find. I think I top out at about 400% with my follower and 5 NV stacks. The odd thing about me is I seem to find quite a few more set items than most people.

I played for maybe 4-5 hours today and found those IK gloves, a litany of the undaunted that sold for 24M, and 4 or 5 junk legendaries. I farmed on MP5 and did ubers on MP7 (I went 3/3 on both uber runs I did today too).

One thing that helps is I had the vault of the assassin waypoint saved. Whenever I started a new game, I'd spawn in the vault, do a run through to kill the elites, then TP to the oasis, kill the warden, then leave the game and repeat. No wandering through the desert trying to find the vault, just pop right in.

I get asked to do runs with people so that's how I get my organs. I never farm them personally.

Yeah I've done vault runs ad nauseum. I feel like someday blizzard is going to reveal that certain accounts had their drops buffed or something lol. From your 4-5 hours today you found literally 20-30x as much worth in gold as I've collected total in 6 months.

Same here, level 5 & 7 is easy enough but since those rings have been nerfed and suck now theres no point, unless u just like wasting time.

I'm not saying that we should ignore dps, I'm just saying that it's silly to show off a character that has no means for survival, but does a shit ton of damage. When it's likely that that isn't their real build.

BTW, my WD can get up to 150k dps with 2.9 ls and 400 loh, but I like my 800 loh ammy that brings me down to about 120 dps, but nets me 1200 loh. Also, loh proc with rain of toads or acid is awesome.

I feel alot stronger with my WD that shares almost the same items as my wiz, than with my wiz.

Wiz builds do better for me with freeze but, loh the animals give you sure make things easier. Im not about to sit around with high speed hacking weps tho, makes the game boring and slow.

Whats the diff between life steal and loh?

Life steal steals X% of health during an attack. It suffers an 80% penalty in inferno. LoH steals X amount of health per attack with the chance of it occuring being multipled by the coefficient of the attack/rune you are using. All attacks in the game have a coefficient attached that determines "on hit" processes. Life steal starts to be the superior stat when you start pushing 100,000+ dps for a lot of classes.

Just checked this morning... Someone has bid 150M for them.

Also, I just sold an Echoing Fury that wasn't too great for over 9M. There was one with pretty much the exact same stats going for a 3M buyout yesterday. I put mine up for 150k with no buyout and it netted me 8.9M...

I solo the key runs, but typically run with others for Ubers so we can share portals. I likely can solo the ubers at mp7 though as I rarely die and typically revive others that go down. Spirit vessel is great for reviving and stuns are great for CC on the ubers.

So I can always increase life steal by increasing my damage, is that stat only available on weapons? I've not seen it anywhere else. How do you know which runes/attacks give you the highest percentage?

Barbs get it on their belts and I believe most classes have a rune or passive somewhere that adds a little bit more if you choose to use it. You can look at the link here to find your class. These are for 1.04 so you should check 1.05 patch notes on your class to see if there were any coefficient changes. You can find up to date lists on the forums but this is the quickest link to give.

Found a skorn this morning. Not worth a ton as it's low DPS, but still...

I found one with 200% CD and 1210 dps yesterday. Yours has the strength and vit though, which is a huge perk. My POS only had intelligence.

I'm only in act 2 nightmare but have not found any descent 2h weapon yet for my Barb. All the ones I have found had the similar or less damage than a 1h so what's the point?

There isn't one and it'll probably never be addressed. Once you play the game through and get a little bit of gold you can afford to grab a level 63 weapon with reduced level requirements. You can easily be around 18,000+ dps by level 42.
