Guess who just reached level 60 for the first time EVER (softcore or hardcore)? Fuck yeah, finally! Dumped 55 hours into this guy.

Thank you so much Pokebunny and folks <3, you've made this experience a hell a lot more enjoyable than if I had just been wandering around like a chicken with its head cut off (on my own).

Now I can finally begin Leoric's Signet Ring farming!

Onwards!

Congrats!!

So it turns out that 40K DPS and 60K HP is more than enough to kill Azmodan without even once getting hit, rofl. I am playing so damn safe, but it's better to play safe and understand what you can or cannot do next time than play risky and die.

I hope I'll be geared up enough to kill Diablo!

What sort of armor should you have in Hell as a Wizard? And should you be using a source or a shield? With a shield I had 5000 armor buffed, with a source I have 4200 buffed. Is this high or low? Bit scared, since I read that some players had around 8500 armor buffed O.o. Well, they would also be melee, wouldn't they (AH HA!).

Depending on your allres your stats are enough to clear inferno really.

Ok, thanks Pokebunny! I guess I just have been programmed to play safe as fuck with blizzard/hydra kiting, and I'm super scared of boss fights ever since my buddy's DH died to Belial's acid pool in ACT II Hell.

Another question (I'm being a question whore, I know), can you use Blizzard/Hydra over a CMWW build in Inferno, not just as your leveling build? I love the build so much I sure do hope I can continue to use it. It's by far one of the safest styles I've ever played (I'm sure the WD is safer, rofl).

Also, is the socket what makes a good Chantado's Will? My stats:

[image loading]

It has 236-615 fire damage (what makes it black damage? I read that if the portrait background is black, meaning that it does not have any +% elemental damage, then it is a black damage weapon?)...I saw yours has a fire background with similar damage stats.

I got mine for 500K, was it so cheap because it didn't have the socket?

So, actually, if I didn't want to play a CMWW with lots of crit, would there be a better weapon to aim for?

I am not sure how the mechanics work, but I believe using a slow weapon is better for blizzards. How I imagine it to be is that you simply need a bit longer to cast the spell, but especially with this build you are not casting constantly so even something like a skorn could be considered in the low budget area.

mine is worth about 100m and yes due to the socket. A socket is worth around 300 dps or so, so even a 900 dps socket one would beat yours. Blizzard hydra is possible in inferno just a bit slower, you would want a low attack speed weapon with black damage (all Chantodos are fire) like a spear or mace.

Actually if you get an Oculus source with blizzard and teleport skill bonuses it doesn't matter if the weapon is black. Onl matters if you use triumvirate (which is highest dps but oculus can be better for blizzard).

Sweet, thank you! I now have items to work for! Just trying to scrape together the necessary parts for a basic Inferno setup. I'll keep those in mind when I get the money (lol). I was wondering why that was selling for so low but it makes sense now.

Also, if all Chantodos are fire, why didn't that one have the little flame background O.o. Is that a glitch?

Onwards!

It's not always obvious for legendary weapons. I believe the Manajuma's knife also does not have the graphics for elemental damage but nonetheless counts for poison, and has a + poison damage like the Chant's has +fire.

Black damage is just flat +min +max damage, which you can see on an Echoing Fury for example.

Those stats are easily sufficient for mp0 Inferno even. I think I had 30k hp 10k dps as a monk at the end of Hell.

Anyone playing on EU interested in starting out alongside a total HC newby?

I wanted to start HC this weekend when WCS is going on, so if you're up for it, give me a PM.
However, I'm really new to HC, so I might mess up rather badly.

You can't really "mess up", the game is rather simple. Don't be overconfident in your play, use a safe build with some sort of emergency skill (ignore pain, serenity, diamond skin, gloom, spirit walk...), farm a bit in act III to level up, upgrade your gear every few levels and stack vitality wherever you can. After level ~15 you'll find gear with sockets which will allow you to overwhelm everything (flawless square ruby in a fast weapon = gg).

Sadly, the road to 60 is more long and boring than dangerous, it took me around 22 hours to level my barb. Toob bad the new monster density is just for Inferno.

How do you upgrade your gear every few levels?
I suppose farming must be super inefficient with 0 MF and no Nephalem, right?

Not sure the AH is an option when you just have the gold you find on the leveling toon.

I spent no more than 5k gold a piece till level ~35, upgrading gear after each play session. Even the most expensive ones after that were in the range of 20-50k. Be patient and keep an eye on free bid auctions, of course you need a bit of experience to make good deals.

You can sell any low level item with main stat and vit, so gold isn't really a problem as long as you can buy and sell wisely.

Surprisingly the town shops tend to have upgrades for you as well. Especially when you enter act 2, make sure to get some damage rings and an amulet.

The only thing I upgrade from the auction house is my weapon at lvl 15 with a socket, since I have some high level characters I can stick a good ruby in there (flawless square is like 1k, get one) it makes act 2-4 of normal a cakewalk.
Also get a helm with a ruby for faster leveling, until you feel you need an amethyst in there instead (which you shouldn't until like hell act 2, but earlier is ofcourse fine)

No reason to stay in act 3, just go through it and move on.
You basically should be oneshotting everything in normal once you reach act 2 and are lvl 15, is my point.

The main killer for me is not disconnects, it's overconfidence. I am more likely to die with a defensive spell off cooldown than I am having used all my resources and it not being enough.

I'm only in A3 normal now and already my heart has skipped a beat or two.
