Its a couple things.. First using a mac and having to run it through cam twist. The other is I set it up to only catch the diablo window so I can't have diablo at full screen. I have tried everything to make it look more clear and of better quality.

I finally started crafting a lvl 41 one handed Legendary Crossbow pattern I got and only made about 25k so far since it's a low level legendary and the ones I made were not particularly good but I made a small profit. But after reading nicker I am clearly doing it wrong lol

Do we have a CP channel going? (Assuming it's even possible to do such a thing)

So I have a crappy lv 60 Wizard with 4k armor, low resist and 10k dps. I need better gear. Is it better for me to farm Act 4 Hell or Act I inferno? If so, which quest in Act I should I be farming. I'm pretty weak so I think my options of what quests I can do solo are limited? Or is it just better for me to team up with someone here who can destroy Inferno, and pick up items in their wake?

Act 1 is better, but you might have problems doing it.

Weapon is probably the most important thing, maybe I can keep an eye out for something for you. What are you currently using?

Add me (Rathji#1666) and I can send you equipment option links in chat.

So finally leveled up to 60 (DH) with a mil in the stash, so ready (ha-ha) to play Inferno. Any ideas what should I buy first? Bellow average Weapon (or weapons as I think I will keep the dual wield) or dump some money on armour upgrades (don't have any resists for example) and wait with the weapon purchase till I have several mils to spend?

If you have high damage but low survivability, it will be easier to advance in inferno than with low damage and high survivability (as a DH, anyways).

I don't play solo, I play in groups where usually one char has uber gear (or at least it was uber in hell

I wasn't spending much (if at all) all the way up to Act 1 Inferno, bought my 2x200 DPS xbows for 10k in total.

So I was thinking survivability would be a priority since I don't have the gold for high damage weapons yet.

I'd definitely go weapon, become a glass cannon.

While I don't think a glass cannon is a good idea with repair costs like they are (I just moved from such a build myself), a weapon is by far the best choice for your first upgrade.

Don't peg yourself into 2 x 1 handers though, because the cost is higher for 1 handed weapons (and then you need to buy 2!). Using a single 1 hander and a good quiver is good, especially is you can get + max disc on both, but when you are buying compare 2 handers as well. I wouldn't be suprised if you got an extra 100+ dps for the same cost just by switching to 2 handed weapons for a while.

edit: Right now I have some weapons that might be good for someone who just hit 60 and can't afford any real good upgrades or someone who has yet to hit 50.
494 dps 2hbow with level reduction 5 - level 55 to use)

432 dps 1hxbow, 71 dex, 283 life on hit, +45 crit damage

160 dps izzucob (legendary 1 hand bow) - Level 56 to use 48dex,40vit,5ias,+8max disc - Obviously the 2hbow is better but this one is legendary so I can't bring myself to salvage it without seeing

731 dps 1 hxbow - 120 vit. - level 60

730 dps 2hxbow - 2.5% life gain - level 60

I won't post any of them to AH right now, if someone wants one (or will need one in the near future) contact me in game - Rathji#1666 - and they are yours for no charget, but if you want to toss me some crafting materials in return it would be nice, especially for the legendary one!

Also have:
a couple quivers as well 14/15% ias, with some dex, vit, +max disc, %life, hatred regen,sockets
couple pairs of +12 movememnt boots with good dex, some with + AR, some with + vit
few shoulders with +dex, + vit, some with +AR
few amulets and rings +dex/vit, some + crit damage, some +AR
2h mace, lvl 60, 997 dps +110 vit

I am looking for a good bow upgrade (don't care what kind, but preference is 1hxbow -> 2hbow -> 2hxbow). Right now I have 817 dps, with 174 dex, 54 vit + socket. If someone comes across one, let me know.

Does the trick of putting on MF gear right before you kill the elite pack or boss still work?

Yes, they are fixing it though according to a blue post. Just trying to figure out the best way to implement it.

My god. So I tried doing Inferno for the first time since 1.03 last night. Went into the Field of Misery, ran into a yellow Grotesque immediately outside town. He wiped my ass about 3 times. Ended up with 90k in repair costs. Immediately went back to playing my lv 50 monk in Hell. That seems kind of ridiculous to me. Looks like farming Act IV Hell really is the only way for me to go right now... sigh.

Same here - made it to 60 after 1.03 dropped. Gear is ok on my Barbarian (13000 dps at least), but I can't make it past the entrance in Fields of Misery.

Apt name.

Ahh well, Diablo 3 is fun till you hit inferno. My problem with it is that I clearly need to buy gear off the AH to "farm" Act 1 inferno for the gold to buy gear for Act 2. Yeah, the moment a game makes me "farm" anything it loses it's appeal. So I'll probably level another character to 60 and then finally get bored of the game.

So, revisiting this, is there clarity now on how the DPS on two 1H Crossbows relates to the DPS on a 2H?
