Ah I see, I also like to watch things in the background, so this might not be a good fit for me. Thanks for the specs, they look a bit out of my price range in either case : ) Just going to scrounge up gear with monk until I can get close, thanks! | ||

What still makes me :/ a bit is that I got + 78 dex. Would've been sweet to get +int instead ofc. :o) Is there a place where I can try to trade them for similar +int? Maybe I should post in the monk and DH thread instead.  | ||

What builds do you use for farming in large parties? Obviously it's not ideal to farm in parties, but I play HC and it's safer/more fun to farm in groups. I do use archon for solo games and 2p games, but with a larger party it's really inefficient. I've been trying piercing orb blizz hydra and just using teleport wormhole for speed since mp0 is pretty easy, but are there any decent party-friendly farming specs for low MP? (I don't want CM, kinda crap at low mp, but it's super awesome for mp3+ and ubers. | ||

If you really want cm/ww for high lvl I would invest all your money in a chantodo set then from there just work on get your attack speed in other slots up as high as u can Does the Chantodo-Offhand need APOC as well, or can I get away with only having it on the Weapon and Storm Crow? Can I re-use any of my old items for my second set? | ||

Also depends on the build, archon build doesnt really require that much ap on crit, so like 8-9 is enaugh. But for CM wizz you need 18 to be on safe side. So yes, storm crow + chandoo weapon will do, to save you up some gold on offhand.  | ||

Archon is by far the most popular but fails in anything but solo games - IMO there should be some sort of compensation to the archon cooldown or sustain depending on the # of players in game. Prior to archon most players used arcane orb / hydra or blizzard, its more of a kiting build that goes for big crits. You could try out the build KiWi has been advocating - It's a little bit demanding as daphreak has said, but it might with some tweaking be quite fun for HC group play. Let us know if you find something better! | ||

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Enickma-2780/hero/3372093 What's good and what's bad and what should I upgrade next? I have 2.51 APS and I'm currently doing key runs on MP5 with ease. How far away am I from doing MP10 keys/übers? | ||

Edit: oh, and you don't really need AP on Crit on all three slots like that, so you could up your damage significantly by getting a way cheaper, but higher damage chantodo's, or switching your helm to a Mempo or something like that. | ||

I'm currently using a 1k dps wand with a socket and life steal with a triumvirate source. Trying to farm MP4 is difficult since the RD elites own me pretty hard. Would a Skorn with like 5% life steal mitigate this? The rest of my gear is Tal rashas set and fire walkers. Also what is the min DPS should I aim for on the Skorn to farm MP4 easily? Thanks. Most people farming with archon mode these days go to mp0/1 to maximize speed, therefore xp. If you want to farm higher MP, cm wiz is generally the way to go. To answer some Qs... yes 5% LS skorn will be better than a 2-3 LS 1h, if you have the same dps, obviously. Are you using the blood magic rune on magic weapon? | ||

Are you using the blood magic rune on magic weapon? Yep, getting the 1.5% life steal from blood magic. Well even at MP3, the mobs melt pretty quick on Act 3. Just sometimes they fast and/or RD elites are a bit much to handle. | ||
