OMG, a leg shoulder at Skycrown!

VW?! Despite the AB Shoulder crafting, VW could still worth some gold for really good rolls.

So, I portal to town. Then I see the item level. 58 0-0 ? What's the point of those 58 still dropping in Inferno?!

Patch 1.08!!

Having not played the PTR and worried about my 350k EHP, I asked a forum poster MrDeath to show me his a1 route. We played A1 and A2. To me A2 is scarrier with exploding guys and snakes. But overall with some Archons around me I felt quite safe :P

If there is no server-wide roll back due to the 1.08 gold dupe, the following update is pretty much correct:

P(64) to P(65), ONE leg:

132. Sunkeeper with no CD no socket

Starting P(65) with

133. Stormgarm bracer (saw the CC and thought woot a CC Lacuni lol)

Also switching out MF gem with EXP gem. Still maintaining 300 MF cap.

I have done some A1 MP1 co-op games/ pub games. My bonus XP is only about +200%ish but I did notice the bubbles are filling up much faster than A3. I also experienced my 3rd game freeze at HoA2 (1st at Rakkis, 2nd at Skycrown which I presume I have fixed it by tuning down video performances), luckily no RIP although I have prepared for the worst.

Time to do more co-op games to reap the benefits (& guard each other's back in times of DC!)! You know when to find me, usually PDT 6am to 9am, @zerokewl @yoyo @windvool @razer22 @jjk59

I have also switched out WH into my 40m BT belt to provide a little bit more EHP for the overwhelming A1 swarms.

Attached: I wanted to do this a long time ago, but this guy in the pub game beat me to it!

P(65) to P(66), 2 legs including one set:

133. Stormgarm Bracers
134. Danetta's Revenge

OK......A1 XP is crazy. Netted 15.5m XP in a 10 minutes run with +231% XP after NVs, in a 2 man co-op MP2 (allied with a >150k DPS pre-buff super monk). This is more than 90m per hour! Route used:

1. Festering Wood
2. Weeping Hollow
3. Field

For 2. and 3., do outer circle first then inner circle.

Defo keen on joining on some group runs. Although, I might feel like an infant next to you guys with my 32k dps. :( . Been stomping on SC and man, this patch is awesome. So much fun constantly fighting. Didnt even try and got a 435 massacre chain in the weeping hollow.

435! Which toon were you using? You already made me feel like an infant with my 148......

Once you loot the billion item, you will make us feel like infants next to you.

Barb, on MP7. Was WW'ing until mobs had 1/5 hp left, rend, then sprint to next pack. Cleared most of the area in one go, maybe with a few missed and ones with slithers of hps left.

P(66) to P(67), 4 legs including 2 sets:

135. Inna Radiance with FR and +armor, 6 CC
136. Frost Gauntlets
137. Firewalkers with over 200 Dex (more reason to change my monk to fire!)
138. Ma.... Knife (finally my wish came through. I looted a set knife. No socket though!)

Joined MrDeath, eLINminator for their turbo MP2 run. 17.5m over 12 minutes so that's about 90m per hour. Also tested pub games' efficiency, it is about half of arranged team run due to inefficiency here and there, but still pretty good. Cuny from the run yesterday lost his Archon in a solo run after the co-op.......due to DC. Man, I will avoid solo for now.

@douvinsky This is the saddest thing ever. I was really enjoying your trek to pLVL 100.

Rerolling another WD?

@Douvinsky That was one hell of a run for your WD. Celebrate his/her life of necromancy and voodoo!

Getting lazy to reroll from level1. For that couple of minutes, I was deciding whether to continue my journey with my monk or barbarian, both at 60.

At the end I chose my monk, a class which I am familiar with at softcore, and also just another class with a 2nd chance (NDE).

I WILL BE BACK TO BORE YOU WITH MORE DIARIES

It is a gamefreeze, I didn't take the screenshot of the battlefield. Now come to think about it, all my 4 game freeze happened when I was spirit walking. Hm...... does it trigger the freeze? Or simply because I spirit walk too often hence everytime it freezes I am spirit walking?

RIP brother, one hell of a run. Unfortunately your WD didn't go "naturally".

Is it a game freeze where you had to restart the client? You can check the screenshots folder to see if D3 took one for you.

I had to use task manager to end D3 which was shown not responding, and re log.

For sick XP, it got to be Act 1. It is about 90m per hour (DPS allowed), or 45m in pub/ casual run.

1. Festering Wood
2. Field (outer then inner circle, back to WP)
3. Weeping Hollow (outer then inner)

In this order you might miss 5NV for KW.
