Here's what I'm using right now. Plenty of variations will get you through A1 in the same way.

Passives: Resolve, One, Dex = Armor. Resolve is the optional one here, it wont save your bacon in an arcane trap but Transcendence might. Try em both.

1) Deadly Reach with 50% armor buff
2) Dash 10 spirit cost (a constant life saver, movement convenience and DPS optimizer for Deadly Reach by lining up mobs via Dashing behind the one at the back)
3) 4 second Invulnerability
4) 60% wind thingy (DPS and applies Resolve around you)
5) 15% damage buff heal (This is for the damage buff. If you need it for the heal you are already screwed.)
6) Mantra: I'm at the point now where I use Overawe for the DPS boost. Earlier I used the Dodge+20% armor but now its pointless with my life drain. Try either one, or try the healing+life on heal mantra.

How do you use Dashing Strike and Sweeping Wind at the same time? They're both under techniques?

Trying to find a good monk build...
 
Everyone shoudl join a third party community like D2JSP. It allows for other avenues of trading and such. It makes the game a lot more fun actually.

This is just further evidence of Bliz's terrible documentation, or lack thereof, on this game.

Go into Options, Gameplay, and enable Elective Mode. Then you can put (just about) any skill anywhere.

Here's a couple of builds I use for A1 Inferno.

More of a DPS-heavy build:

More defensive build:

Mantra of Conviction with Overawe is hard to not use. If you can keep your spirit up, keeping the 48% damage boost active is huge.

For passives, feel free to swap one of them out for Transcendence if you need more healing. I'm up to about 1000 health on hit, so I can usually get away with not using it.

250k gold is easily obtainable in an hour of farming of gold.

I usually make at least a million every night by getting at least one good drop and selling it.

I made ~5 million last night I think.

It's not hard if you are killing the right things (aka goblins =P).

Making that much money though really requires that you're far enough in the game to get the necessary drops needed to sell on the AH.

Anyway, now that the RMAH is up, I've stopped selling for gold, and started using it. I figure, now's the time to make a killing in profits before more people progress through the game, and allows you to sell items at a premium, before the economy is ruined and prices plummet. I'll take $100 over 100 million gold any day.

You can sell gold to pay sites for around $4 per mil.. so id much rather have the 100 mil.
 
I'm assuming big_aug uses that gold found to augment the gear on his main. Otherwise, any great finds should be posted for RM while the market is young.

I play hardcore.

So we don't have the RMAH. Yet.

I've only just touched A1 inferno, and so i'm a little behind the curve of most y'all... but that didn't stop someone from buying my level 50 junk for real monies. I put up my best stuff (that i wasn't wearing), stuff i considered mainly junkish, and yet still got like 10 bucks. It's just amazing what people will throw money away on!

This is sad. My friend was playing in Inferno and still didn't know you could change it. I made it to I think nightmare. I can't imagine playing this game in non elective mode on inferno.

Surely nobody wants to play in elective mode and surely nobody is too stupid to manually allocate their own skills. Having a none elective mode makes no sense.
 
How much do you guys think this is worth? I don't see anything else on the AH that's has as much damage by a longshot. I even made sure to search for reduced level requirement since this is a level 60 item that's been reduced by 11 levels.

I dropped it on my wizard at level 49 and blasted through hell mode with ease since my DPS was so freaking high at that level. (13k buffed I think)

it would be a good real money item could possibly get 10 for it. Probably have a hard time getting more than 200,000 Gold because low level users are all that can use that and they are typically hard up for gold.

Also probably want to sell it sooner than later many people are reaching level 60 on all 5 classes.

If it doesn't sell for what you want it too hold on to it as it might be a very PvP weapon for a level 49 battle.

On hardcore, about 0. (2H)

But I don't think we're talking about hardcore here so... I wouldn't give more than 1 million for that. Very low attack rate makes it not-so good. Why would you put a crit-hit on a low attack rate item? :p

I guess for high damage wizards it's best.
 
So has anyone tried Scoundrel DPS vs. Enchantress? I feel with the multi-shot and dex stacking, obviously, he is effective and crossbows are cheap.

Low attack speed, high base damage, +int, and +vit...it's a pretty sweet Wizard weapon.

Yea i was going to say this... i prefer having higher top end and lower attack speed for my current wizard spec. Both ways are good though, depending on which skills you use.
 
Does anyone miss the D2 death animations?

Specifically when the souls fly out of the dying bodies.
 
Anyone have any suggestions for beating inferno Belial with a wizard? I can't even get past his second phase.

This is my current build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#cROSjm!!abYZac
It has worked pretty well so far, but I've hit a wall with Belial. I end up running out of arcane power and getting cornered.

Alternatively, any beefy players out there that want to help me out?

What's your damage at in your highest damage gear? With about 48k (sparkflint familiar, force magic weapons, glass cannon) you can push him to p3 by popping archon at the beginning and burning him down before p2 adds show up. You have time to switch to some defensive gear before P3 to avoid poison gas one shot. P3 is an easy dodge rotation once you know his attack pattern.

My damage and gear was low for the fight, so I had to use go pretty much straight survivability.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#PQXROl!afX!ZYabYY

Pretty much you just let your blizzard and hydra do all the damage. Avoid all incoming damage. You could go cheaper blizzard over the large area one, but it really shouldn't make too much of a difference. You can also swap out to use Illusionist - really a personal preference.

P1 - Kite from one side to the other, if you get cornered, use teleport and/or mirror image. Keep Blizzard and Venom Hydra up 100% of the time.

P2 - Same exact thing as P1.

P3 - This build is the easiest with P3 because you can be constantly moving and not ever need to directly attack the boss.

Once you learn the mechanics of the fight, it can be repeated pretty easily.

Now if you are overgeared, you can burn the adds in Archon in P1 and Belial in P2 before adds spawn.

With all skills active damage is listed at about 33.5k

I'll give that a try. And no, I don't do enough damage for archon to last through P1 and P2.

You need Diamond skin...

Blur on Passive for sure...

Use Tap the source on Arcane Orb.

If you still can't do it, shoot me a PM I'll help you.
 
I could use help killing belial on my DH and Wiz. I have both stuck in act2 inferno cause I cant kill belial lol. Anyone super strong that can 1 shot him for me?

As long as someone can help me clear out before Belial transform, then I can help doing it.

Since after that is really simple and easy.
 
I was able to do it using kcthebrewer's build. It took me a lot of tries but eventually I did it. P2 is the hardest. P3 is breeze as long as you avoid the explosions.
 
I dont think korea has a way to actually enforce this but god I hope they do I hate those asian bastards botting and destroying the games economy
 
I leveled a barbarian to 60 to see what all the complaining was about. It was pretty smooth up until Act 3 of inferno. I killed Belial on my first try which felt pretty good, as he murdered my wizard quite a few times. I've spent roughly 700k at the auction house so far which isn't too bad.

That said, I think I found the gear wall for this guy. Getting smoked far more quickly now. Guess I have to go back to the wizard to farm gear and money...
