Why is +cold the resistance everyone chooses for OWE?

anyone on the European servers, it'd be nice to have a CP buddy to do some runs once in a while.

Beginning of Act 4 inferno, I would kill hundreds of the swarm, and move on with 2 or 3 minutes still to go with it in full effect. There can be a downside to that length though... your force armour wears off after two minutes so at some point you can kill quick, but you are a sitting duck if hit!

Brilliant !!!! It cut my run down by half. The only thing it didn't melt was the butcher.. I kept the hydra and took out force weapon since I was still melting people it didn't hurt me much. Plus on the butcher i can set hydras to help kill the bucker. Only problem I had with Archon was i would start tanking everything. Some elites explode when they are die and that killed me a time or two haha.. Good Tip Shawnski.

Jar of Souls will never be the same for you! Sit in the middle and spin like a fast clock....

I have to be careful with my tips that I post... I think Blizzards motto is "If you like it, we will nerf it" so I don't want them catching on to anything that works.

Or you click the jar and leave the room , find the elite , kill said elite, and go back and break the jar without fighting the skeletons ??? Yes I still get all the rare drops.

Kill them all, get two minutes of Archon to go kill the elites, come back and collect the cashola.

Does anyone know how elemental resists work? I prefer Diablo 2 method of just having a % of damage reduction on your characters attributes - one which would decrease base on the difficulty you were on.

If I have 300 resist on a given element, what does that actually translate to? What number would give you immunity on a given difficulty?

Hover over the resist line in your tooltip, and it will tell you how effective a given resist is..

Lol that's funny, no idea. Does that mean +cold are more expensive on the AH maybe?

[Raekwon]

Goblin farming can get boring but we run with 4 people each in their own game and when someone gets a goblin everyone joins. There is very little downtime doing it this way.

If i'm playing by myself I just run the Act 1 Champ pack loop.

[Hemi-Cuda]

imagine what it must feel like for someone to plop down a few hundred dollars on an item and get something better in a random drop shortly after

I have no idea why anyone would spend real money on items or gold. How does that give you any sense of accomplishment? Why not just drop a couple thousand, outfit your character in all-uber gear, take a screenshot, and then quit, if all you want is the "best stuff" for some esoteric reason.

I buy stuff from the gold auction house, but that is with gold I have earned in the game. Clearing out Inferno Act I takes a couple hours with my Wizard, and a little longer with my Monk, but soon enough I'll have the gear to be farming in Act II. If I get to Act IV in a few months, what's the hurry? Diablo II was played for years; why rush?

On another note, I really like the frantic clickfest of being a glass cannon style wizard. I don't use the cheezy hydra anymore, just Meteors and Arcane Orbs, with lots and lots of running around like a homicidal coke fiend, freezing dudes, then blowing them the hell up. Sweet!

I also buy stuff on the RMAH with proceeds of stuff I have sold on the RMAH. It is essentially the same thing, if you think about it, but gives you 10 more auction slots.

If I do decide to sell a big money item, instead of stuff for $5 here and there, anyone know how I make sure those funds go into paypal rather than my battle.net balance? I can't seem to figure it out, but have attached both my paypal and a credit card to my account.

Yah that makes sense, as you're getting a net benefit. I'm sure if I find a godly item, I'll probably sell it for money as well - I just don't get the people that are gearing up and *spending* their real money to circumvent the whole point of the game, which is to acquire loot.

Actually, I do understand - it's partly a status thing. And partly an instant gratification thing.

at the bottom of RMAH sell screen when your placing an item for sell.. there is a place to select b-net balance or Paypal auction...

I have been selling some of the gloves I have crafted that I don't think are all that great on the RMAH... listing for 1.99 with a BIN of 2.49-4.75 . I have sold about 35 bucks worth in the last 3 days.

Got a nataya's soul to drop in the dank cellar. Lucky it had dexterity on it as most dont and got a nice $50 for it. I'm loving the RMAH

Rathji got a nats something in there too.. F everyone who finds nice things lol... I have found a TALS armor before. I got killed 10 times and asked a buddy to come kill this elite pack. He kills in like 5 sec and Tals drops for me.

However today I am playing. I craft some gloves for a friend and say Im gonna go finish this run. he says want help? I say sure. We walk in to lvl 3 halls. There is regular rogue skeleton standing there and it drops a legendary for him.. WTF>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Rathji]

I got Nat's shadow there. Now I only need the Mark for the complete 5 peice set. If I want the awesome 4-peice set bonus now, I need to use the 500dps 1 hander with no socket, which costs me about 10k dps.

Yeah and everyone knows it and priced the ring at stupid prices.
