If you are interested and available, I'll be on around 10PM eastern and will be running MP0 act 3. Zerokewl and I ran it last night, pretty much from start to finish up through Rakanoth (no plans for me) without too many scares. I like the frog you guys carry for the globe help building up my hatred. I can spam ball lightning non-stop as long as there monsters being killed. Hope you can make it!

Wow I didn't know that pick up radius helps in group play! I won't be able to join your evening session, since it would be morning my time and I am taking care of babies. I am free at my evening time when zero is able to join me when he is awake early. I will miss it, but good luck and have fun! |

Once you hit inferno, group play with good players is essential. Not just for the hp reduction on monsters but if dc's happen your party members can indeed help you. I'm not there yet but I'm on my way. See ya soon :)

power leveling is something i usually don't do (I actually like the expeience of grinding out the levels) but now that there are quite a few players willing to play in groups. I will accept a power level or three... ;) let me know, I'm a barb in act 1 nightmare. lol

Killed The Butcher. Hit P5.
I am back to being an Act 1 Hero..... a term I use for my softcore DH in the old patches when she was only able to do Act 1 and nothing else. Act 3 has the highest mob density and Act 1 has the highest elite density of all acts. Hopefully I can find some good rares in addition to the chance of legs. Farming route (WP): FW - guaranteed 2 elite packs in WR and CoTA, search for 1-3 packs outside caves Cathedral 3 - guaranteed 1 elite pack Leoric Manor - guaranteed 1 elite pack on the way out to Northern Highland Southern Highland - guaranteed spawn of Cave of the Moon. Guaranteed R chest at level 2. Southern/ Northern Highland - Check northwest for The Watch Tower. Lots of elite in there, but not guaranteed spawn. Cemetery - 3 crypts, skip development. Cemetery - (edit) go south to the big playing field (Weeping Hollow) and comb for elites. If see Den of the Fallen, go in! |

If you are lucky you can get up to 4 packs in Weeping Hollow also, you may also get the chance to spawn Den of the Fallen which spawns around 4 elites and a resplendent chest.

I am not sure about choosing between A3 MP0 amd A1 MP1. Experience wise, I would say A3 MP0 wins. However when I am playing solo, my feeling is that: 1) Act 1 monsters are less intimidating e.g. I don't like phasebeasts who can teleport right beside me........especially if there is an elite pack with nasty affixes which catch you by surprise. 2) Act 1 monsters density is lower This gives me more room to move around safely. Also, if there is a sudden lag, I am less likely to walk right into a pack of monsters within the few seconds. However, please do invite me to an Act 3 game and let me grab the waypoints. I might just switch to Act 3 MP0 when I am done with Act 1. |

Crafted 9 bracers...........I think this was the 8th.
I was at first worried about the drop in protection since there isn't any AR on this bracers. But DUp shows an increase of 20k in EHP. So, this is my new bracers! The extra MF% and Health Globes bonus don't hurt either.  |

I figure vital is a safer bet. I just need to hit CC, and one of the primaries. I can share the bracer with my other toons after all :P |

I am finally running around in 4 pieces of cheap rolls Blackthorn.
D3up actually shows a decrease in both the EHP and DPS compared to my old rare gears. However I took the risk after considering the bonus dmg to and reduction from elites, and the additional 40%mf (25 from ammy and 15 from set. After all in act 1 mp1 the white mobs are quite friendly to me hence I can afford to take some bites from them. |

hahaha, LOL. Though technically, if you have some empty character slots, you could test it out on HC--with some level 1 characters...! ;-) |

Tormentor on enchantress with charm is fun. You end up always out numbering the groups.

Wow, brimstone at hardcore is close to 200k. I ended up selling the Skorn at brimstone price. Not a rational choice since I could have salvage it and get a little bit more than brimstone. However, just for lol. |

Made significant transfer of gold from softcore to hardcore, since I do not see significant sense of progression for me at softcore.
Upgrade fast, farm fast. Zuni Mask: 2m Zuni Pox: 25m Zuni Chest: 50m Zuni Trail: 33m 1H: 46m Maximus for Enchantress babe: 5m Also beginning to see more legs since I started A3. 2 legs drop in Keep2 in last run. |

1) Upgraded off-hand.
Thing of the Deep: 17m. Got my DPS to 81k mark. It is getting more and more expensive to inch up further DPS without sacrificing too much EHP. 2) Upgraded Enchantress Babe to 9.3k DPS after successfully won bids on rings. 3) Legs looted in Inferno at P(13): - WKL - The Tormentor - Skorn - Thing of the Deep - Hell Rack - Natalya's Slayer |
