W/ 5 stacks plus MF gear you can get far better drops off the bosses/elites you kill while getting the 5 stacks. Takes like 20-40 mins depending on deaths. Way quicker than the whole act. | ||

Most runs start you at a WP where you can get 5 stacks and then be very close to fighting 1-2 bosses. Clearing trash when you have 5 stacks and could be getting guaranteed drops off an act boss is time-inefficient. | ||

Wasn't aware if the game distinguishes them, but the point remains--you want a run typically to hit those bosses when you have 5 stacks, and not waste too much time clearing trash at that point. Also, I start my Warden/Butcher runs on the SECOND part of Quest 9 (not the first). I go to the Northern Highlands waypoint, and check the Watch Tower side-dungeon--if it's there, and clear it. Generally there are 2-5 elites and a Resplendent Chest. MUCH higher efficiency than clearing Halls of Agony because the layout of the Watch Tower is extremely tight, and the density of worthwhile things to kill is much higher. | ||

I was trying to remember what you ran. I'll do this on my next butcher run. | ||

Most of the time it's 2-5. And even then, it's still faster to clear than Halls of Agony 1, which is the alternative. Obviously it's not some super amazing farm spot, but I don't know why you would choose to go to Halls 1 instead, when it takes less time to clear the Watch Tower and then TP straight to Halls 2. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/PpJAS) I just started Inferno (pardon my state of poverty), and I would appreciate it if you guys can let me know which attributes I should look to improve on. Should I focus on investing in a better weapon, or overall armor? | ||

Absolutely your top 2 priorities should be all resists, and HP. Your vitality should be somewhat balanced with your Strength, right now, your Strength is higher by far too much. | ||

I just played through act 2 inferno the first time. Is farming Kulle worth it compared to Warden/Butcher? I mean the effort is much, much bigger for Kulle with my equip. Occasionally there are champion packs I just cant kill. | ||

For farming gold and getting decent items faster it seems butcher would be better. Once you get better gear then it would better to do Act II. | ||
