I really like these sort of guides. Great way to show that you can have fun without spending a ton of cash on the AH

Thanks for this. It was very helpful. I wouldn't mind watching other helpful videos on farming or whatever.

Wow impressive...

Now i just need to GET there (every time i go into the beginning of Act III, so many mobs surround me)

I'll have to try your abilities....

Also, why no companion (Templar, etc)?
Cuz you could have gotten the Scoundrel with revive and a frost bow, ya?

i clear all of A3 pretty easily with maybe 15-20m worth of gear. you're doing it wrong.

get 5-600 resists -> use prismatic then it's ezpz. i find my 800hp/s also helps quite abit, but yes my dps is 'only' 50k..

The entire game is doable in under 500k if you know what you're doing ^^

Did it with roughly 1,7 mil on my Monk prepatch, wasn't too much of a problem.

This is the real deal though:

Yes, those are all good options too, I opted against using a follower, because you can equip a templar with INSANE vit for cheap, and then he'll have like 60k hp, stun things for you, heal you, etc, he's a great distraction for elites as well (despite dying so quickly)

I would prefer to do these videos without a follower, but it's a perfectly good idea to use them

Yes, although I never tried it, I do believe it, but with 500k you need to be very careful with what you use your money for. I considered using a lower budget, but then the AH episode would have been too long!

Also, I wanted a budget that will do things "efficiently enough," as opposed to "doable," so that people don't get frustrated as much with their playthroughs (if they do choose to follow the guide)

EDIT: +1 for krip video, he's a great player

Yeah, some people don't realize yet that AH skills matter way more in this game than class and build. Rerolling to the current fotm class won't really help the people who are constantly grossly overpaying for crap items.

Because Ghom is a popular boss for DH players to be stuck at, I added a short video of me planning our strategy, skills, and killing ghom with the current 4M gearset. Shameless bump!

edit: agree with andrewlt, AH skills are really important!

Whee! Attempting to follow this guide, looks promising. Just snagged a 5.5% CC, 31% CD, 70 dex, 120 vit amulet for 400k.

Here is an alternative you can try. The DH tank build. It works really cheap, and you don't need AH sniping skills, noone else is shopping for most of this gear so the prices are low. I spent 3 million on gear, a bit more if you count the gems and follower gear but it is still quite cheap for how well it performs. It is also very easy to play compared to having to carefully kite so as not to die. Here is a small clip where I just facetank Ghom and kill him:

Looking forward to seeing some Tank DH builds (no stuns & no life on hit) when PvP comes out.

Damn, I wish there was something like this for the wizard. Didn't want to sift through every page of that thread, rather have everything in one place as you have done here. Learned a lot from the first vid, great work!

I just thought of modification to this guide that might be good - if you have a mercenary. Set the templar to use the skill inspire, which generates hatred. With that skill you never need entangling shot to generate hatred and you can use the skill slot for marked for death instead...

It works great for me.

Maybe you can add to the guide what you would do to spec a mercenary too?

If you pay attention to the criteria he uses to select gear in the AH, switch out dex for int and you can do basically exactly the same thing. Everything except for chest (no +disc cloaks) and weapon/off-hand basically works the same way for a wizard. Get lots of int and all res, vit where it's efficient to do so, and otherwise focus on crit chance and crit damage. +AP on crit gear is nice, but isn't really necessary until you're out of budget gear and into awesome gear. Wizard skills are pretty straightforward -- any two of two of MM/AO/Blizzard, venom hydra, force armor, and either diamond skin and fracture teleport or one of those and force weapon. Whatever passives you want -- I like blur, evocation, glass cannon, or galvanizing ward.

Yes, it would definitely be a good idea to cover mercenary builds! It's a good idea for an upcoming video - but for the quests & demonstrations, I would like to do them without a mercenary, to stay true to the whole "solo" idea

Also, beginning to record & upload quest/elite clears for all Act 3 areas with our budgeted gear:

1. Skycrown Battlements [18 min]
+ Show Spoiler +

2. Stonefort [21 min]

MysticaL, first of all - your post are VERY VERY helpful! My DH improved a lot for very small amount of gold.
Just out of curiosity - can you post a picture of your non budget equipment and your DH stats with this equipment? I want to see how big the difference is.
Thanks in advance!
