Demon Hunter, level 25 looking for Zoltun's body in the Archives - And yeah, taking my time :) Gotta scour those maps for anything and everything I can find.
there are a lot of people, the majorty in fact that are still playing in Normal. Personally I just hit level 45, playing Witch Doctor and am starting Act 3 on Nightmare.
43 Wizard on Act II, Nightmare. Also have a 15 Barbarian
Gotta be honest with you. The game is beginning to be a bit of a grind for me. My wizard hasn't been able to use a single rare drop since finishing Normal and I'm begining to think that legendary items are just that, a legend.

Legendary don't drop until Hell. And I agree, a lot of my stuff I bought on the AH, but I have an occasional good drop.

not true. will post pic when I get home. Got a legendary from a chest at arouind level 20 in beginning of act 2.
I've put in over 60 hours now and not a single legendary has dropped for me. Magic find sits around 70% for my guy too. I bought two orange off the AH so far. I would add more MF% but survivability is tough right now for me even at act 3 NM. I die ALL the time.
Kinda been irritated with Diablo 3's bullshit server issues this week. I have very limited amount of time to play and every time i log in they're deploying fucking patches either to clints or to the servers and I can't play in the window of opportunity I have.
I'll see if I can find the video, but there was a guy going apeshit about the rares he was geting dropped. I must say, I have to agree with him on a certain level. Some things that stuck out in my head were WD masks with rediculous amounts of strength, no int; a barb sash with no strength and a int up... Some of this stuff seems useless if you plan on decking out a toon for multiple runs. I hope this is something they fix.

Like I said, I will see if I can find it.
It's their randomness factor. It doesn't make a lot of sense at lower levels.
I hit the 1000 Dex mark on my Monk last night with some gear and that's about where I would like to stay, the diminishing returns of adding more doesn't benefit me so much. What I really need now is more Str and Int. Why, if I'm a Dex based char? for the added armor bonuses and resists that strength and intelligence give me, but what it really means is survivability.
I also think sometimes times people forget, myself included they are playing Diablo. Your gear is one of the ultimate goals, not everything that gets dropped will be perfect for you.
I'm Level 55, 1/2 way thru Act 2 HELL and let me tell you, the difficulty has amped itself up to irritating levels. I've died more in the fist 2 acts of Hell than I ever did thru all of Normal and Nightmare total. I keep trying to figure out ways to tweak my spells and gear to give me more health and deal more damage. But shit i'm at 5300 DPI right now and I can't deal with the hordes of Elites they're sending at me, i may as well be spitting on them. They're total bastards too... lobbing a couple hundred fireballs long range so you can't get close to fight, if you do get in close they wall you in or pull you to them and then wall you in and rape the shit outta you. I was down in one cave and a swarm of 4 or 5 elite insect swarms was killing a 4 person coop group over and over, i finally bailed on the cave, didn't need anything down there and probably spent 8 grand fixing my gear.
I think playing multiplayer at this point is mandatory.
It seems like single handed weapons top out in the 300dps range for level 55 so there's not much more I can do at this point. Sure I could spend some money and go from 305 to 370ish but that just seems like a waste. Instead i'm spending money on armor pieces with sockets to up my Intelli and health, health sits at about 19k right now.
I reallly don't see any way forme to get to 14k DPS unless the weapons at level 57 are significantly better than the weapons at level 55. Also I can't dual wield, stacking double weapons would be the shit but.... I can't do it.
Ive browsed the weapon options for a level 60 and if i had a couple million credits to spend, i could get a weapon that did 1200dps or so i think was the highest one I saw earlier today. But by the time I have that amount of credits laying around, those types of weapons will disappear into the RMAH and all that's left for credits will be shitty shit. I'm not gonna spend real money so I can see Diablo 3 coming to an end for me real soon if all the good 'for credits options go away come june 12th when they launch that RMAH.
It would be nice if my own game dropped good shit but probalby two or three rares that have dropped for me have been worth while using. At least half the rares i get are for other classes sso they're worthless to me. And sicne the lateest patch i swear rare drops percentages have gone WAY down. So it just seems to me like th eentire system is built in making you hav eto buy the gear you need for real money so activision can take a percentage. All i can say is I hope they set a cap for the max dollar amount you can ask for something or we're going to see shit listed for a million real dollars i gurantee it.
Sorry, I need to clarify. I'm actually at about 9500 to 10K base damage, but Sharpshooter adds a buff to give my first shot 14K damage on critical (i think). I assume there is a similar type of damage buff for WD, but I don't know.
My bow is 420dps (i think). Only one bow, two handed.
My 305base damage dagger has 200 intelli on it besides some other good stuff. I could just abandon worry about stats on my weapon and just go for the cheapest highest damage I can buy. I saw a 420 axe last night for 50g's but it had nothing else going for it. I"m not sure how to calculate if 100 extra base damage would put me further ahead with the 200 loss of intelli. All my spells are a damage % based on my weapon damage so there's a balancing act between damage and intelli i need to do. My most powerful spell is Haunt which does 525% damage over 12 seconds. SO if my dps is 5300, that should do about 27k damage over 12 seconds if my math is right.
The WD is very much about stacking spells to maximize damage, not actually shooting or weilding the weapon in-hand. I usually try and hit a crowd with Locusts which is an over time spell that infects everyone. Then hit them with spirits or confusion to make them fight for me and take extra damage, then i'll step back and shoot my blow dart gun or bring in a herd of Zombie Bears.
But just for a point and click single attack, the WD is probalby one of if not the weakest characters.

Level 22 Monk, in Act II looking for that dude's blood.
Just hit lvl 50 last night. Proceeding into Hell sometime soon. Eris the LadyMonk.
Holy crap Jedi Kez, I thought I was alone in taking forever to get through this game, lol. Something in the name perhaps?
there are a lot of people, the majorty in fact that are still playing in Normal. Personally I just hit level 45, playing Witch Doctor and am starting Act 3 on Nightmare.

I got a couple of Legendary items on Normal (they are orange in color).
not true. will post pic when I get home. Got a legendary from a chest at arouind level 20 in beginning of act 2.
Level 46, and nightmare is still kicking my a$$!! I suppose I should L2Diablo
I've put in over 60 hours now and not a single legendary has dropped for me. Magic find sits around 70% for my guy too. I bought two orange off the AH so far. I would add more MF% but survivability is tough right now for me even at act 3 NM. I die ALL the time.
ah sorry, for some reason I thought Legendary started in Hell. I haven't seen a single one in 65 hours, i'm level 52 in Hell.
Well, would have posted a pic if I could have logged in last night. Will try again tonight.
lvl 55 Wizard. Jumping all over hell.
Kinda been irritated with Diablo 3's bullshit server issues this week. I have very limited amount of time to play and every time i log in they're deploying fucking patches either to clints or to the servers and I can't play in the window of opportunity I have.
Couldn't say that better myself. Just hoping they get this crap figured out soon.

gotta buy weapons and gear from the AH, unfortunately.
I'm almost 14K DPS, level 58 DH in Hell Act 2. About 30K health.
just have to grind out for levels and gear if you hit a wall, whether that is through finding it receiving it or buying it through the AH.
It seems like single handed weapons top out in the 300dps range for level 55 so there's not much more I can do at this point.
