f0xx Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Sorry for that today, but when I play alone and do EQ runs, I swap my EQ with such with high magic find, before the killing blow, to get better loot. When we are in party, the magic find is determined by the average for the party. Not just that but our team mates kill the bosses before I can swap, so I get 2-3 times less rares than I do alone.

I know they were working on a "fix" for those like me who were switching gear for the last hit, but this is the first time I hear about this.

f0xx Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Are they even planning to implement PvP? I hadn't heard that. Yes, they are, in version 1.1, which is expected "soon" -> http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4574895 As for magic find (@Sandbox), I think your earlier statement is not true (yet), although it sounds like very much something blizzard would implement to stop the item swapping: Since release it has become an increasingly common practice to keep a Magic Find (MF) set in your inventory, and swap it in shortly before a kill. Philosophically we don't have a problem with the practice. While players getting more Magic Find for their kills isn't a game breaker for us, many players have said they don't enjoy doing it but feel the benefit is too large to ignore. Since the call for a solution really comes from all of you, we'd like to invite you to chime in with your opinion on what the solution could be.

f0xx Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Has anyone played different characters to pinn and went through inferno with them? I have a wizard, a monk and a barbarian that are all 60 and all in he middle of act 2. I've found that it's MUCH easier for me to play a melee than a ranged character (wizard and DH I've tried). Does anyone else experience the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H&R Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ranged require more kiting and having the right skill set makes a lot of difference I've noticed, at least with a DH. Haven't tried a melee yet though, but thinking about starting a hardcore barbarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Do you know that monks and barbarians take 30% less damage? Saw it recently in the game tips you get when the game loads. Was a bit surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H&R Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Heh, yeah. Figured you knew that. But it's still harder to play a melee solo when you reach the higher acts in inferno, I think, since you don't kite like you do with a range and have to tank everything. Depends on your playing style too I guess. I like my DH anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H&R Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 F0xx, I want to see your monk in act 3 or 4, you didn't seem to take damage at all in act 1 man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 What for... what do I win from that except a badge in my profile? Btw I made an AutoHotKey script that allows me to swap my MF gear and my real gear back and forth in less than a second, pretty cool. Gonna buy some trashy cheap MF gear tomorrow and gonna do some real looting. Currently, when I swap, with 5 NV stack I got 230% MF. I will try to boost that up to 400% tomorrow. I just hope Blizzard doesn't decide to change the way MF works and screw me and everyone else who has spend gold on MF gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hehehe first time I play in party, it's fun Your ninja friend is a weakling H&R Same as Dey ;p Hey, credit to me... I swapped out my skillset underestimating hell after playing Act 3 Inferno and it didn't do me any favours having 6.9k health thinking I could tank on that difficulty. Suffice to say, with my main skillset at the time inferno was a total breeze for me and I was just hammering Siegebreaker runs for loot to sell until I stopped playing. My aim is to maintain my current damage output but slowly bring up my health and resistances rather than try to further my damage. I'm logging in now so I'll get my battletag on here.

H&R Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Haha, I thought you actually had 257 in vitality with your regular gear as it says in your profile. No one can survive act 3 with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Really? My logic is that if I'm going to get one-shotted by elite packs regardless of whether I have 25k hp or 6k hp, I might as well sacrifice health for damage output so I can kill them faster - having the extra health is just meaning my damage output is lowered (excluding godly equipment) with the same end result - death on hit. I could put a significant amount of time into building up more health and resistances (which are important moreso than the easily-acquired health in many ways), but without having excellent equipment I will then be losing a -lot- of damage output for the sake of being able to survive at most, one/two hits depending on damage type. It has worked wonders for me as I'm able to waste most mobs before they even get close and smokescreen is your "Oh ****" get-out-of-jail-free-card for when you're about to get hit. I have changed my perspective now though, with the changes Blizz have made to inferno. Now I do want that extra HP and resistance, but I don't want to sacrifice too much damage for it just yet. Of course, I just made a big mistake blowing all my cash on a crossbow that significantly has dropped my damage (not DPS, that big number doesn't mean an awful lot for a DH with sharpshooter). EDIT: Might have some parts of my awful MF suit there too, I just went for the cheapest MF gear regardless of other stats because I lost about 2mil gold doing something silly.

f0xx Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Dunno why you keep saying you get one shotted, but with my monk, when I swap to my MF gear before the finishing blow, my stats drop DRASTICALLY. For example, my HP drops from 63k to 16k. And there is a similar drop in everything else as well, DEX, resistances, defense, damage output, DODGE which is my main defense and 9 out of 10 times, I don't die before I kill the leader, and to kill the leader you have to survive at least 2-3 blows, even more if he has some of the nice affixes (plagued for example). As for MF gear, I managed to boost mine to 300% with a NV stack, on a pretty reasonable price, bellow 100k. I think you just like your high damage too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Don't forget that until June, monster damage scaled with number of players in a game, and I usually played with a group of 3-4. Back then, most people were getting one-shotted by most mobs unless they had really good equipment and even then it'd be an extra hit or two. There were a slew of individual mob nerfs that came too (like the Herald of Pestilence for example) so getting one-shotted was the norm until then, and I geared appropriately. I've just started playing again and things are very much different now with the nerfs, which is why being able to survive hits is a much more reasonable, achievable goal and I'm slowly trying to alter my equipment accordingly. You're right though, I do like my damage a lot though as glass cannon builds are still highly effective for demon hunters. I haven't had any real trouble so far with anything aside from soul rippers/phase beasts near Azmodan in inferno with certain affixes but they can be trouble for even the best-equipped demon hunters and the current advice is to avoid them.
