I've found two Legendaries so far and although they sucked I sold them for a nice profit at the AH .

I'm currently in Act 2 of Hell difficulty and FUCKINGSHITCHRIST IT'S SO FUCKING HARD. I like to think I'm fairly decked out but I fucking have trouble killing regular groups of monsters -_-. HuHu#1828 if you want to play (USA only).

Cyman#2285 Oh cool, I'm still awaiting my pc (should be here Monday the latest or maybe tomorrow) but I'll add you once I get online (IRbaboon#2959). Gonna start a SC monk as well, what skills / runes combinations work for the earlier levels?

Well you cant do anything wrong with fists of thunder (lvl 1) and i still use lashing tail kick (2), which gets really awesome with lvl 38 when you get scorpion sting (played with another monk before act 3 nightmare, we both used ltk with scorpion and it felt like developing a new "style" which would likely be called UFC diabloing)

I guess tempest rush is decent, but once you get way of a hundred fists, you dont need it.
Other than that I just used cyclone strike and 7sided strike for large number of mobs and serenity and mystic ally with bosses.

Now on nightmare i use serenity, breath of heaven, mystic alley, mantra of convicition, way of hundred fists and lashing tail kick although im sure there are better combination. But since my spirit regeneration is terribad i just use mystic ally and healing and the rest on lasshing tail kick.

For my monk i use 7 sided strike follow by wave of light with the holy damage rune when i need to quickly clear out groups....has been workin best so far for me, however im only lvl 32

i only started it and im lvl 14 sorc, but was wondering whats gonna hjappend to all the rush stuff that happend in d2, i mean for a 95 char you only had do go to d2Jsp.org post a request pay him with Forum gold and your char was ready in 2 days .
Is there gonna be something similar in d3 for powerleveling people ?

hard life for barbs at nm act 2 ... i die 10-15 times/hour

still in act 1 and i have 5 rare items

level 43 hardcore wiz nm act 2,

lashing tail kick (2), which gets really awesome with lvl 38 when you get scorpion sting

holy fuck just turned level 38...so fucking good

I have a level 56 monk and I'm pretty sure I have the best build possible however I'm still struggling at times with Hell, but mostly just with the molten chain champions & pink ground rays so far. Still experimenting a bit but it's getting obvious that the secret lies in really fast life regen with Transcendence and the Mantra and a lot of spirit regen with the other ones. The faster you gain spirit/spend it (so the more you make out of Transcendence) the better.

My build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#UZXifQ!XYU!YYYYcc

Note that the right-click attack is not that important once you start playing Hell at level 55. With this build you'll rarely want to use it. I find the best use is with an attack that you can do from far away, in order to get a hit so you keep your vortex at level 3 after you just killed everything. If you have a pretty high critical damage % this isn't necessary though and Scorpion seems best. That's the one annoying thing at first, you always have to get that vortex going and sometimes it takes a while to build up to level 3 if you have like 5% crit. chance, and just when it reaches it or was about to reach it there are no enemies left. Getting something like 10% already makes a huge difference I found.

What matters in this build is that you have to keep the vortex on level 3, so that you have really good spirit regen from it, and spam the Cyclone attack with the healing rune. You also spam the Breath of Heaven with Infused Light to heal & regen spirit. You should always be taking damage unless you need to dodge molten chain/rays. Cyclone attack with the last rune heals you and your allies whenever you do it and there is no cooldown, so it should be your main attack as soon as you get it. Before that Scorpion with the Stun worked really well for me.

Note that the last rune of the Mantra of Healing only becomes important if you have a lot of resist of something further in the game. Before that you probably want to use the spirit regen rune. I recommend looking for one resistance in particular for all your items. Whenever you search for something in the auction house always put that one resistance in the filter so that you gain a really high resistance of something, which will transfer itself to all other resistances with the One with Everything passive skill.

Got Blind Faith on level 47 ish, end of Nightmare. A cool legendary, a spiked mask thingy

Char is 60, at the end of act3 Hell, been really fun on hell, it's a lot harder, but not felt anything was impossible or undoable.
I'm a pretty reckless player, so I run in and die a lot to find out what I can get away with. Like I like counting in my head on the uniques, to get the rhythm of ice spikes, fireball thingys etc, feels great when you get the flow.


Now the last few hours I've just been doing that rare chest exploit, pretty nice, gotten like 80 gems, 70 health pots and 300k gold, so think it was well worth it.

Act 2 Hell, numer 8 or 9, make game there, go oasis thingy, then right outside, in that arena, big chance a den will spawn, there's two of them, not the pretty one, and there's ALWAYS a rare chest in there, which will drop gems, pots, and big chance for magical items, dropped like 40 yellows or more in 2 hours doing it.

We were a couple of Demon Hunters with Valut, Preparation and smoke screen, with passives hot pursuit, tactical advantage and
perfectionist.
Fastest I joined in and out was around 7 seconds, till I was down in that hut/undergrond racket thingy.

fun fun, stupid servers went down, maybe go to bed xD

And this is the build I've used the most. It's really comfortable

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#WRYjXT!YeT!ZZZbaZ

You got a lot of control, good sustained damage, and your dps goes really high, when the rest of my group was at like 5000dps, I was at 15000dps, due to the crit passive, and using a crossbow.

I always put on Impale with the 100% crit on bosses, or when we struggle with an elite, best single target damage for Demon Hunter I think.

barbs are kinda underpowered v.v

just got this shit going shit im a lvl 5 barb =[

Eh - I'm a barb and love it - just all depends on the mobs, need to switch out abilities and switch out gear. sometimes you need to sword and board, others it's best to get a big ass 2 hander and WW FTW.

Lvl 54 on Hell

Monks seem to be kinda OP from what I've played with them so far. I tried playing a monk and got sick of it right away, pretty much every other class I can't get past 20, but the barb is the most fun to play. Everyone else running away and you just jump in and whirlwind and spam revenge to stay alive. Ahhh so so good. Working on getting vitality and a shit load of resitance. So far I have 39k hp and resistances are all above 60.

I am a level 58 Barb in Act 3 Hell at the moment and although I feel kinda gimped compared to my friends that are playing ranged, I still have fun. I try to help the team as much as I can with shouts, damage reduction, and getting a good stomp that brings all the enemies in a nice little bundle. I have been playing 2-handed only this entire time and I feel that the way Hell / Inferno scales in difficulty forces a Barbarian to go 1h / shield.

im finding barbs overpowered
from playing and from watching others play it
i had a much easier time playing barb with bad itens then with demon hunter with decent stuff

i was watching a russian barb lvl 60 HC on act 1 inferno i think, the HP bar doesn't move .. awesome char
it made me regreat making a demon hunter on HC
maybe i'm playing bad with my demon hunter though .. not sure

i could be wrong though, haven't played enough with both chars

Poll: What Class is your main?
(Vote): Barb
(Vote): DH
(Vote): Monk
(Vote): Wizard
(Vote): WD

I was figuring barbs and monks to be very overpowered, so damn tanky and their damage is very close to DH which will die in 2-3hits.
