Tried MP7, very very slow. Seems like MP 5-6 is my sweet spot for solo. Tried a 4 man game MP5 @ Belial, and we got steam rolled pretty badly at least half a dozen times when Belial has less than 20% life. In multi-players MP mode, you really need everyone to pull their own weight, else you are in for a very tough time.__________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

Well, I've been doing alright. My WW spec still kinda works at the lower levels (1-3), but at MP10 I can't heal through the damage fast enough even on trash. I've been playing MP4/5 and surviving alright but in MP5 things take a while to kill with 50k damage as a throw barb.I've had my best luck with drops since the patch though, found a Skorn and a chest wit 153 str, 90 vit, 70 res all and 2 sockets which I hope to sell in the 10's of millions range... I hope. Do you get more XP per kill for higher MP levels? I havn't really noticed a big difference between MP1 and MP5.

Are you running Battle Rage (Bloodshed)? It's pretty efficient if you can support the fury cost. edit: You do get much more experience. I usually get like 4 bubbles filled by clearing the entire act 3. Now I get about 3 filled just up to Ghom. __________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. John Wayne

Sucks I'm a Wizard CM build...need much better then I have to be viable still, need more crit% mainly ...Also more DPS, MP 10 is impossibly boring at 40k dps, I can freeze them fine, just 6-20mil HP takes awhile.. __________________ I shall have the souls of all who defy me. "Lord Crovax"

Must have just been the difference in clearing speed that made it seem like not much of a difference for me. I havn't tried it yet, but it sounds really good! I still have only -2 fury cost on my Lamentation so Into The Fray is still very much an important part being able to throw non-stop. I check every day for better belts though but I'm being pretty picky, hopefully I'll sell some stuff soon and won't have to settle for either good stats OR -5 throw cost and be able to get both.

Battle Rage (Bloodshed) makes killing stuff very fast. My kill speed in MP5/6 is same as 1.04 after I switched to Bloodshed. Of course, you need to get a -5 belt at the very least to attempt this.

We should have an MOTL starcraft party or something. Either original or extra crispy starcraft.

I can't even reliably do MP 4-5 on my DH, it is not very glass cannon friendly. I probably just need to completely revise my gear...

MP 10 is damn insane, just need 500k dps thereabout to solo...Only can solo mp3-4, 5-6 have to co-op .... Anyone crafted hellfire ring so far? I lack of an organ so far.. @Dimh: Even before 1.0.5, playing glass-cannon DH is a NO-NO as majority of players are farming act 3. 400 resist/4k armor will be pretty suffice, but dps must be pretty decent. __________________ If MTG is a metaphor in our lives, it will be Yawgmoth's Bargain.

Oh well, that makes me feel better at least... I haven't gotten any key drops, but I've only been able to farm once through Act 3 so far due to other commitments. Gonna try tonite I guess.

My friend's DH can farm MP5/6 pretty well. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Clamjer-1610/hero/17675579 You can use his as a benchmark on what needs to be improved. __________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. John Wayne

600+ resist for DH is too over-rated, based on the 3.4k armor. He will definitely count as "340 resist" there about due to the fact that he have to make sure armor and resist must tally well. 10 Armor = 1 resist . __________________ If MTG is a metaphor in our lives, it will be Yawgmoth's Bargain.

With the current MP, it really doesn't hurt to have more AR.

10:1 is just a general guideline, but its easier to get AR than it is to get armor if you're valuing it at 10:1. I'd get armor when available, but stack resists the best you can. Really it just comes down to what you can afford. Currently ~100k dps wiz is best I can do.

20k HP is definitely not enough to roam MP4/5. __________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. John Wayne

I am sure you are fine. Your DPS on paper is 58k, but it is more like 90k with the bonus from passive and 300th spear. __________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. John Wayne

Crafted a Dex Hellfire ring. Turned out to be a crap ring with good Vit overall. Still, it is far much better than Leoric Signet a lot.Fought the infernal uber bosses 2 times with MP6 and 7 respectively. Totally hate the SB/Kulle due to the reflect damage and slow time and whole team was annihilated for few times. __________________ If MTG is a metaphor in our lives, it will be Yawgmoth's Bargain.

Found an IK belt with perfect LS and crappy bash stats. Sold it for 15mil. I also accidentally sold my -5 throw 175 Str 59AR Lamentation for 5mil, instead of 50mil.  Anyway, I dropped my DPS a bit to just slightly below 100k, because I really need to up my AR and get my damage deduction bonus from IK set. I can farm MP5 act 3 with ease, but MP5 in act 2 is just ridiculous. Everything hits like a truck and a half in act 2.

Seems like 99% of all MP10 farming is Barbs. Should I just roll one and give up on DH?Oh found a 97x DPS Three Hunderth Speer. What are the relevent stats on that (other than crit damage ofc..) that (I assume barbs) are looking for?

It needs a socket, and at least 40%+ throw damage. The one in my profile ( http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Acky-1140/hero/19572176 ) cost me 50mil, and that was a steal. __________________ MOTL Fantasy NBA 2010 ChampionLife is hard; it's harder if you're stupid. John Wayne
