I wouldn't craft yet, you can still get pretty nice upgrades for cheap. I would look for a ring and amulet (8+cc) w/ crit chance and crit damage, you can afford to give up some vitality. You will also want to hit 24% move speed, so 1 other item is needed, either Inna's pants or lacuni's (most likely) if you want to keep the IK set bonus. A larger emerald in your weapon is also nice. Finally, a 1h + off hand might actually be better for your build. Get a mace w/ an open socket, crit chance and no attack speed modifier. Your off hand can either be an echoing fury w/ str + a socket or str + crit damage (cheaper), try to get as close to +.25aps as you can, dps of your offhand doesn't matter. You can also get a low dps dagger or sword w/ crit damage, open socket, str, life steal. Your character sheet dps may go down w/ 2 1handers, but your actual dps and ability to maintain WOTB will be way better.

With 200k we can get: IK Helm (170+str), IK boots, IK gloves with over 200str, IK belt with 170str and vit, Blackthorne's chest with strength and 170+ vit, str/vit/ar Lacuni, Vile Ward or equivalent with 190+str and 70+vit, pants with str/170vit/60ar/2sockets, jewelry with str/ias/cc, 900dps Echoing Fury with socket, 800dps offhand with str/cd/socket/life steal.

Heya, thanks for the advice. I did some VotA runs and bought these one handers:

I know they're not great (500k each or so) but they got close to what you said. My sheet dps did indeed drop like you said.
Are these weapons alright for now and can I save up for amulet/and stuff now or are they really shitty and should I get something else?

Thanks!

Guys please stop suggesting crafting to everybody regardless of their budget. Crafting is a viable option only with some millions to spend, otherwise AH is the way to go. For someone whose gear is worth nothing, investing 200k gold per amulet it's just plain wrong.

Amulets are worth it even with low budget. You will get a pretty solid Amu in your first 20 tries (8CHC+ and ~300Str): And no one would craft alot with <100k dps. Mass-Crafting is worth it when you can't get any upgrades for less than ~5M.

Do you realize that high strength + 8cc cost nothing in AH and that 20 tries mean ~3mil gold, which is exactly what I said (”some millions to spend")?

I had a Amulet at least worth 20M in 20tries... of course its not worth it if you have under 10M - but seriously the gold is no problem for the crafting.

why attack speed instead of crit damage on unity? on paper my dps actually goes down/stays the same. for vit on the other pieces, other than ik belt where I can squeeze out some vit, on stuff like innas what should I be looking for exactly? I considered str and vit, but the rolls seems extremely poor. should I go for a high vit roll or something instead of str then? also most of these changes seem to have very little effects on my char in general, are there upgrades that makes a significant difference?

Sup guys, it's me again. I just found a legendary helmet (Mempo of twilight apparently) and I sold the unid for 40M. (Guy IDed it - didn't have CC so it's a good deal to me).

I now have 40mil and 105k. Could anyone please provide some kind of list of items to strive for? I'd like some opinions before my lack of knowledge causes me to buy 40M worth of junk. My current items are http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Raisa-1892/hero/32421213, which are probably all garbage and should be replaced.

Any comments would be most helpful, thanks in advance!

You need a lot more vitality so you can take it away from helm, gloves and ring. Part of it will come eventually as you level up, otherwise chest/pants/boots/belt have a lot of potential. As an example, IK boots with 170vit right now are only 2mil on EU, IK belt with 170+str and 80vit is 2.5mil, etc.

Once you've got ~150vit (a bit less if you upgrade your amethyst) you should go for:

- better weapons! Search for an echoing fury with 150str and socket or 70%cd, with 10mil you can get around 1100dps. Choose one with +0.25aps and low fear on hit if possible (sift through the most recent auctions). Then an offhand with 100str, 50%cd, life steal and socket. The market is filled with crafted weapons, with 10mil you can buy a 900dps sword.

- IK helm, 170+str, 6%cc, +250 armor (5mil on EU)

- IK gloves, 170+str, 30%cd or 8%ias (3-10mil). Ias is better for your build.

- ring with strength, 4.5cc, 7%ias, 30 avg damage minimun


All this stuff combined should cost around ~50mil, although these are prices on EU server.
