Seems like the game hits quite a dead end in Inferno because of gear, my WD is sitting on only 12k dps, and I can't think how to increase that. It's ok for Act 1, but screwed after that. What did your mate farm for gold in Act 1? I haven't found much.


- Ernie.

fastest way to increase your dps is probably to get a high damage mojo ( 80 min and 350+ max ) with no stats, and a 1hand weapon with 600 + dps which should cost less then 100k, 2 rings with 15 increase attack speed 70 int ( 10k each ) and amulet with 100 int and 15 increase attack speed.

I believe this will get up upto 20k dps which makes you ready for act 2.

After that I would look for a chest / legs / belt / helm ( socket is good ) that focus purely on int and vit don't worry about resists, if you can dodge stuff you don't have to worry about resists so much.

DPS is key don't worry about survival you will die in 1 or 2 hits anyways.

You can damage and vanish until you run out of discipline, then you can refresh it once and hope for the best. Works fine if you're doing enough damage to smash creep waves. I can roll through Act 1 without any trouble. Throw in some snakes or lacuni and I'm fucked. I could probably run my way through Act 2 just to get it done but what's the point if I'm not actually able to farm any elite mobs?

DH seems to be initially the easiest and probably require the least gear to smash Act 1, but there's good reason the DH is not a popular class for hardcore inferno.

just requires different tactics.

Granted fast snakes will kill you, normal ones are easy if you do it right.

get caltrops with tortuous ground for the 2 second immobilize and spike trap with scatter, lure snakes over, run behind your follower, drop caltrop and spike trap, snakes hit follower, trap goes boom, often have time to launch 2 NT's. Rince repeat.

This works very well with the land sharks as well, place a caltrop and spike trap, wait for them to surface, smoke screen and run to another spot and do it again.


Wait untill you have to deal with phasebeasts and soul lickers.

link explaining ?

If you set an auction you could cancel it at any time by setting your system time to before you started the auction. That way when its about to run out and someone is going to snag that item you put up for a bid that you're not happy with you were able to cancel the auction.

Don't think that's what they're fixing. I heard about some exploit that let you get money from/by putting up items with huge buyout prices (billions) or something like that? Basically there was a way to get free gold without being in a game.

Didn't the cancel let you keep the item and the bidded amount of gold? Hence why people have made trillions doing this?

In any case apparently it has ALREADY been patched...news to me.

Yeah probably, a 5x stack butcher run doesn't take stuff all - 15 mins? So in 1 HRs of farming you should have at VERY least 4 yellows =) (Butcher will only guarantee 1x yellow now with a 5x neph stack) instead of the 3 they say now.. though i sometimes only get 2.
