Siefer Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 @McNugget: What class are you? I'm in Act 2 of Nightmare with a Demon Hunter. These guys are doing a lot of damage now. @RIL: I've got another bow for you, it should last you until Nightmare. In the mean time, buy the highest ruby you can in the auction house for it. If you can't do that, I'll buy one for you.
iora Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 STop talking about, effin diablo. xD stop playing effin hazama. see? we can say hurtful things too. <3
Siefer Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) @RIL: You need to start thinking about your DPS. I haven't looked at your gear in general, but the jump from normal to nightmare is fairly noticeable and you need to be able to dish out that extra damage, especially if you're playing with more than 1 person. My Demon Hunter does 660 DPS, but that doesn't cut it in Nightmare. By the time you're halfway through Act 1 in NM, you probably want to have between 800-1k DPS, although, I think it's good to have vit with that dex too. Also, at lower levels, +dmg is better than +dex on your weapon/rings/amulet...(i.e. Ruby > Emerald). IAS/Dex/Vit are probably the most important traits to look for in gear, and that should last you until you finish NM. If you can get all that, plus good base stats and socket, even better. After that, you probably want to start thinking about optimal skill combinations to use, although until Hell, you can get away with freeform stuff. My Sorc does 550 DPS right now, and I know that won't be enough for NM, although, I haven't bothered looking for gear for her. Hit up the auction house for some stuff if you have the extra gold. EDIT: @Justin: You should accept my friend invite. Edited May 21, 2012 by Siefer

iora Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Money, if I wanna go to ECT I gotta start being a bitch until then. ^^
Ril I am Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Barely made it past Act1 NM. Going to need to farm up to get better equipment and auction. 955 dps is not going to cut it in Act 2 and later on.
iora Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 o god im like 550 dps and at skeleton king looks like i got my first segment of 'time to grind bitch'
Siefer Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 @RIL: 955 DPS is fine for now, your bigger problem is staying alive. What skills are you using? I personally think only two defensive combinations are worth it for DHs, and only one once you get to Hell and higher. Also, if you needed help, you should have asked. Well, I say this, but I'm not satisfied with 1375 DPS in Act 2. If they aren't dying in 1-2 hits, I'm upset. @Justin: Your situation is a little different, you run a Witch Doctor right? You've got shit to tank for you, but upping your DPS to around 900ish would really, really help you out for the next Act or two. Max's DPS the last time I played with him was around 900ish, and he handled himself fine. I'm around that area with my Sorc, I can play with you the next time you're on. My Sorc rapes shit, and with your shit to tank for me, it should be easy pickings. I say this assuming you guys play with 1-2 other people at the same time. If you're soloing, you can get away with lower DPS. I find that if your DPS isn't around 800-1k though by early NM, you're almost useless in 4 player games. Also guys, you can buy stuff in the AH you know...you don't have to grind, unless you really, really want to max/min. Well, you might have to grind in Hell and Inferno.
maximummcnugget Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Last night I ran into this crazy random event in act 2 in nightmare mode where I fought a unique boss monster version of those worms things that pop out of the ground and eat you. After I killed it it spawned a dungeon and in that dungeon where the most retarded boss monsters. They all were arcane enhanced, thus summoned a lot spinning lasers in a narrow cave. Lets just say I died A LOT trying to clear that.
