I've replaced Serenity with SSS/The aoe explosion rune, and I'm liking it so far (but it might just be the new car smell). I basically treat it like a longer cooldown Serenity, and just have to be more careful around terrain effects. I usually pop all my buffs and then Sweeping Wind against Siegebreaker, but once I tried it with SSS and it took him down to half health.

So I just found some Vile Ward shoulders and unfortunately they are not my res. They have a ton of armor though, so I'm trying to figure out if its worth switching them with mine. Is +1% damage reduction through armor better than +1% damage reduction through res?

Let's start with your skills. Swap SSS with sweeping wind. Swap beacon of ytar for resolve.

For gear, start stacking crit chance/crit damage gear. You can drop your total resist as low as 700. I think you can upgrade your belt for cheap as well.

Your shield is good, but since 1.04 weapons are really cheap. I suggest you looking for cheap deals. You can get a 800+ LoH 800 DPS offhand for around 1m, and you can get a 800dps socketed mainhand with crit damage and lifesteal for around 1m. Socket it for crit damage.

@Derrida, Thank you I will look at getting crit and dropping my resist. I normally run with sweepingwind and resolve, I was running act 1 so had more damge skills on.

Yo derrida.
I have 35k dps 300% crit dmg and 35% chance, should I go for lifesteal weapons? I`m using the "tornado" sweeping wind and it crits a lot

Yeah dude, definitely. That's plenty of damage to sustain yourself. Snatch some good socketed crit damage lifesteal weapons.

Pre patch i farmed act 3 with around 40k dps, 30k life, and 750 resist all, my armor was about 10k buffed. You can probably manage with a little less since the patch made things a little easier

A3 is easy enough to farm with my measly 22k dps, 30k hp, 7xx res, 5k unbuffed armor, as long as you have good sustain (life steal + 1500lohit in my case). No need for Hard Target either, Overawe all the way.

A2 might still be more efficient, depending on how much XP it gives, but A3 is definitely easy.

I've done siegebreaker->azmodan runs a couple of times with parties now, depending on the other guys it either is a piece of cake or just terribly tedious...

tried going for the siegebreaker myself, too, but i tend to get absolutely horrible champion combos and always went back to act1 instead ~~

Hi. I feel like I've been stuck in act 3 for a really long time. Unable to advance and finish the game, I'm wondering if I can get some tips like other people have been getting here.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Confuse-1392/hero/4470788

I feel like its a bit late to go for the crit chance build... fairly expensive. The only thing I can think of is swapping out for more life on hit, but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? Would be welcome, thanks!

Either you can get a better shield with 8+ crit rating, or you can drop helm of command + shield all together for a socketed crit damage lifesteal offhand. If you are on EU I can provide you with such a weapon free of charge. Dex on your shoulders and especially boots is low, you can get around 150 dex with improving those. As you are using sweeping winds with cyclone, I would strongly recommend trying breathe of heaven and blinding flash with damage runes instead of mystic ally and SSS (if you pop sweeping winds after when damage from both skills is active it becomes monstrous).

What exactly is holding you back? A death here or there happens to almost every person regardless of gear level. Your gear seems perfectly fine for completing the game. Don't let a death here or there discourage you from actually trying the content. If you just want to finish the game, swap overawe for mantra of evasion hard target and just roll through everything slowly but surely. Yes it will suck to kill stuff slowly, but you WILL make progress. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times before, but I completed inferno in inferior gear to what you are using right now, on an earlier harder patch(including 1.03 ghom....lol)

Hey man, i'm with the other guy the post above, i cleared act 3 a while ago with slightly lesser gear than yours.
Including 1.03 GOM with 20+ attempts haha that was fun ..... not, but really satisfying after i cleared.

- I did not use templar, I used enchantress for the benefits of armour, attack speed buff and the occaisonal charm.
- I wouldn't use sweeping wind, cyclone if i had less than 30% crit chance, blade or fire is probably better option.
- I switched between deadly reach / keen eye with thunderclap depending on the boss or champ pack, sometimes you just need that extra armour and range, and is easier to kite with.
- used breath of heaven / blazing wrath, mantra of evasion / hard target, serenity with heal or extra duration is fine.
- When i had lower HP than what I had now i also would use to use Transcendence passive sometimes for that extra heal survivability.

Also just note if you do go and get over 30% crit chance, your crit damage is also vital, so good idea to get a weapon with socket. All the best.

I've beaten act 3, but what I meant is I get stuck at elites in act 4 :x

Also I'm playing on US, but thanks for the gear offer

I think I'll try going for the crit shield first, and more dex on shoulder/boots as that is the cheapest way to boost myself up compared to buying a different helm/socketed crit weapon.

Thanks so much guys for the tips. Yeah I am no stranger to dying, but I can't get through act 4 at all Hope these gear changes help!

Just switch Overawe for Hard Target, and you should breeze through A4.
Your attack speed is quite low, which hurts your sustenance through LoHit and your spirit gen, but there is no easy solution for that.
Your dex is high enough already that it won't change much.
The thing about clearing A4, is that it's all about surviving. Dex and crit are fine, but what you really want is attack speed and Lohit.

The problem is that the gear to do that won't be the best farming gear.

Um... not sure what to say. Probably ran into some bad elite packs before, but I cleared act 4 easily after some minor updates. Thanks everyone... woohoo finally beat inferno

Hi there, could someone review my items and skills? I need some advice as I haven't been playing for some time (3-4 monts). I'd like to stay on daibo probably, but what is current trend? Are there some new skill combinations that are required to go through act 3/4 or just very powerful to use? Thanks in advance.
