Think I will start and keep a list of all the legendaries I will find, so far I have found 1 Ceremonial Knife lvl 41, can't remember the name of it.

So I decided to craft myself some godly vitality amulets instead of selling the brimstones and tomes. After 10+ craft the best I could get is only this. Out of AS, CD, CC, it only strikes CD. Vitality is heaps though at 300+. The indecent (i.e. not decent!) average damage and intel rolls help a bit, and the double MF% GF% could be helpful in my farming. 41% MF? That's like 13+ P levels.

2 more legs from P42 to P43.

41. Windforce (while helping @zerokewl monk to get Act 3 WPs, dropped from Act 4 little golden guy)
42. Zuni Boots (dropped from the purple elite from skyglass quest. Quite good rolls!)

Starting P43, I replaced my +25% XP gem with +27% MF gem. Currently sitting at +273% MF before NVs.

3 more legs from P43 to P44.

43. Inna Helm with resist
44. Sledge of As??!!
45. Another Schaeffer's Hammer

Just when I hit P44 and finishing my run in AC2, a green dropped. An IK Helm with MF!

46. IK Helm

I just saw this. I guess you would need spirit regen as a required stat for your TR?

Sold one with low 13AR and +armor for 8.8m.

Btw, what does Dibs mean?

Oh and I actually plan (in the future) to have a second helm. One for TR and one without.

dibs

The game played by young gentlemen in which you call 'dibs' on any young lady that takes your fancy. Players are limited to five 'dibs' per evening out. When a player calls 'dibs' he must also tap another player with varying degrees of force, depending on the amount of alcohol that has been consumed. Once a young lady has had 'dibs' called on her she becomes out of bounds for all other players for the entirety of the evening. Any player who flaunts this rule and continues to 'pull' a lady who has had 'dibs' called on her, must pay a suitable forfeit.

The only exception to this rule is when a player calls cardboard on a young lady who has had ‘dibs’ called on her. Players are limited to one ‘cardboard’ call per evening and this allows that player to ‘pull’ the afore mentioned young lady as well as the original ‘dibs’ caller. The young lady remains out of bounds for all other players.

'Have you seen her!?? Dibs on that mate'

dibs
To have the rights to something, to own something.
I have dibs on that gear over there!

Nothing too exciting from P44 to P45.

Legs:

46. IK Helm
47. Lamentation

To make things more interesting, I make the following changes:

1) Bought a PUR Zuni Chest (100m) and a PUR VW (5m), so that I have a total of 33 yards PUR
2) Switch out Jungle Fortitude, for Gruesome Feast.

Combining the above two changes, now watch the DPS boost and the endless resources!

(p.s. still can use a little bit more PUR. As shown in the last picture I couldn't grab that pile of 360 gold!)

I plan to be monking it up in HC shortly as well, now I've bedded in my new PC. Self finds only just to make it more exciting.

Trust me. HC is exciting all by itself. Of course starting HC you will have no gold already. Why not crank mp up to test yourself instead.


Disclaimer I dislike self find. You will be grinding so long at 60. I see no reason to gimp your early lvls.

Yes, unlikely I'll continue it once I get to 60. Likely be to tricky to feel safe even at MP0 inferno... and I won't have any plans to craft.

I could dump my SC gold over to HC but we'll see.

@ninjax If you want plans, I'd be happy to save them. I vendor the ones I find... or just toss them on the ground. I know others that do the same. They aren't worth the AH slot.

I am right at my personal best level 60(23) on my DH... Hopefully, I am geared enough to surpass it! I will be starting up a monk soon as I have most of the gear already...

I'm with @Zerokewl on the self found, MP10 all the way, extra difficult stuff. HC is hard enough, without adding to the difficulty. :) No offence to those that want the challenge, just difficult for a new HC player to get started...

@ninjax If you are only going self-found then I can join you when you get to nightmare, that's where my wizard got up to. Would definitely be more -fun with another person. It got kind of boring playing by myself.

I just toss plans on the ground! They are quite annoying actually when they drop so frequent and they do not worth much.

@JJK59 you pretty sure is an experienced leveller, just look at how fast you level to 60 and then those P levels.

On Self-Found vs MP10, I wanted to say for a new HC player, do MP10 first then when you feel like there is nothing else more exciting to do, then do self-found (it is like the end end end game for me that I have not started trying). But I guess it is up to you, whatever you feel like intrigue you more. It is not like you can't switch focus later and do other things, unless your character slots are all full and not subject to deletion! (edit, even without deletion you can just switch your self-found toon to an overgeared AH toon)

From P45 to P46.

Legs:

48. Vigilance (brim)
49. Won Khim Lau (at 750 DPS with no socket CD LoH or whatever I think it is a brim)

Things are getting exciting with my new 33 yard PUR, with the two passives Gruesome Feast and Grave Injustice. I am feeling the power of endless resources for spamming rains, shortened cooldowns and boosted DPS with all the delicious health globes on the floor. With more mana now available, I am also starting to seek attack speed to further boost my DPS. I have been avoiding attack speed previously to avoid situations where I go OOM early (thence I won't be able to LoH or do DPS).

In the Keep 2, an elite pack dropped 3 of the same level rare WD masks (see picture).......thought that was quite interesting. I didn't bother to pick them up though.

Try firebomb with ghostbomb rune in place of darts. Hits so much you will love it and with Atk spd you can really decimate an area quick as can be.

Edit. Also can I try out that won khim weapon on my monk?
