Hit P(70) ~~ yay I like the new Paragon new profile

Looted 127 legs on the 60 hours played.

Also, looks like I am going to stick with my low DPS support monk build MoC Cyclone w TR.

With just over 10k DPS I am going to have a hard time gaining acceptance at pub unless I keep changing skills and gears. I am a lazy person, so if I believe this is a good build, I will stick to it and I am going to need more friends online in this case. Lazy person is usually smart right? Haha............I advertise myself at JSP yesterday and so far I hae received 4 new friend requests :D. Farmed MP7 with 2 of the new friends with Firebats yesterday, smooth!

Also, looted my first trifecta ammy in my Hardcore career. {edit: sold for 133m}

Starting P(70), I am not using ruby in my helm anymore, since I won a bid (9m) at a good Madstone (Vit roll and reduced CS 4 seconds) without socket.

The XP variance isn't that significant considering that the Madstone improves my gamespeed at MP7.

Looted my first trifecta gloves (so now in my HC career I looted 2 trifecta rings, 1 trifecta ammy, 1 trifecta gloves)

Madstone has all the stats I needed for the build neatly put together.

AR for EHP since I am not running OWE
Life Regen for life sustain
SR for spirits

& I got the other two random rolls as Vitality, and reduced CS. This piece is exactly what I need. I won't find all those squeezed into an Inna.

@douvinsky Very interesting info. Seems you had a good streak of RNG during Plvl 20-30.

What is your plan after 100? With your current group I would suggest rolling another monk and transferring all gear to bank the XP

@razer22

Very good observation.

At level 20 - 30, the number of legs per hour played is 4.1, the highest of all level range. At those levels, I haven't ventured into high MP levels as in MP6-8 now, I don't think I was able to hit MP5, although I did try to maximise on my MF%. Hence it is fair to say that I had a good streak of RNG during those levels.

@zerokewl

If I manage to hit P100, it is only wise for me to transfer most of my gears to another monk i.e. BumbleBeeIII at P(0), to bank the XP as you said. I currently run MP8 with some fully oiled Bats WDs and they always like my 15k DPS build, hence I should be able to level up fast.

Outside of MP8 play I guess I have quite some options. I will spend more time on my Bear+Bats WD mainly, and zoom into pub MP1 with my full MF IK sets when I feel like playing barb, or just doing pub MP1 with my DH and hope she doesn't die lol.

Finally BumbleBeeII surpasses BumbleBeeI in paragon levels.

P(90) - P(95): 52 Legs

XP at MP7 = 35m / 15 minutes, or 140m XP per hour without a Ruby in helm.

REACHED.
Took me an MP8 run for the last sprint of 80m ish XP. Ended up missing by 1m XP and the group decided to grab that at Cathedral Level 3.

Time to have a good sleep!

My rather lengthy post at battle net hardcore forum:

BumbleBeeII - P(100)

Final profile image at D3up.com (thereafter gears will be transferred to my backup monk)

Congration-friggin-lations dude.

Congratulations. At this rate, you can get a full roster of plvl 100s before I can get one.

As I said in your Diary Part VII

@douvinsky
And I just thought "Wow we will see a P100 HC Monk soon"

Posted by h311o at 07/15/2013 06:35 AM

@douvinsky
Didn't see it the P100 way of SC.
I do see it the HC way and it was increddibly fast how you gained the levels - so it's more of a challenge "how far can I get".
And not to forget - I like the way you do it as well as I like reading your diaries and your other contributions to discussions ;-)


HOOOOOORRRAAYYYYYYYY - you made it o0o
Grats and a big hug

Thanks.

Finally, I actually stopped playing for a day and watched Elementary with my wife instead. I am also going to the bed earlier by one hour, time to recuperate and repair my physical body lol. Going forward I will be playing D3 at a much relaxed pace, so I actually don't expect to see a full roster of P100 from me anytime soon.
