How are people doing 20-30 Minute Act 3 Runs

[flyguy]

So I only recently started botting act 3 but I am really interested in upping the speed of my runs. But it seems that whatever I do I always end up with a 45-55 minute run. I switched from 12% move speed 50k dps 1h+shield to a 130k dps with 2 handed skorn 25% MS and saw absolutely no difference. Now i sold that skorn and switched to ww barb and sit at 63k dps buffed (90k with WotB) and runs take me the exact same time.

Here are my stats:
1605 STR
1035 Vit (47k hp pool)
8100 Armor
800 All res
45-50 Crit Chance
458 CD
1.8 APS
24% Move Speed

Anyone who is able to get 20-30 minute runs have any tips? Or should i just shoot for getting a higher dps with my ww build?

I bought the exact gears or better from one guy who claimed his build was 25 min/ run. I spent around 130 million without all the perfect star gems. Sword and board build 74k with battle rage. never reached 25 min per run and it is not even close...
those ppl say they can do 25 mins probably tweaked the bot a bit???

hmm im starting to think that people have eliminated inefficient areas from their runs which probably shorten them. For example, Sky crown, imo, is horribly inefficient because it takes 11min to clear while only providing 3 elites max (typically 2).

Anyway if there are any tweaks or tips out there i would really like to know!

You also have to keep in mind that their run times depend on how many profiles they are running.

I can tell you that my WW barb is pretty stacked at 85k dps unbuffed, i run 12 profiles and it takes me about 45min 0 death.

they could be running half the amount of maps who knows.

Thumbs up for your experiment and stats. Looks like you're the kind and helpful minority that bothers to share such info.

I actually wasted $200 on my own experiments (and also from the fake advice given by malicious users) and i still have >24 DPH in Act 3 Inferno.

Either they have dev/private builds of the bot or private/donated profiles.

There's always the ponzi scam possibility that people are trying to cash out from Diablo to bot MoP/GW2 and scamming you in buying their 500Mil worth of gear.

See above remark. Shorter Profiles might result in greater possibility of flagging/detection but then again who knows.

Increase your gold pile pickup and reduce your trash mob radius and get max movement speed.

Why to fast? Have you ever watched Alkaizer stream how he did paragon farming? That was speedy

That is inaccurate, mine shows up the samething. A better way to get an accurate read is (if you use a profile switcher) check the times when your profiles are Queued in the Log, it should show it as a list then check the time again once your run is done and is requeued for the next run

 

[mexican11]

I got 300k/h on average - Always 0 deaths. 60 Just 60 Paragon atm though.

24% Momentspeed

9,5k armor

yeah uh that is inaccurate af...mine says the same thing (4 games per hour) when i have been going 18 hours straigh @ 45 minutes per run soo. But who knows...you could be at 15 min runs but imo its unlikely until you actually time it.

 

[chutch93]

people who do very fast runs of Act 3 inferno usually are doing for paragon XP alone and not gold/gear like most of the botters here are trying to get. Most people cut out most inefficient areas and simply go for big groups to bomb down for mass xp and dont even stop to loot. So i doubt a bot that is looting and killing will get anywhere near that mark.

 

[drizzt001]

I play Champ Hunt - 1.2 Gangnam Style. Including Azmo and 2 Town Runs it takes aprox. 50 mins.

I play monk have around 100k unbuffed and 24% Movement. I have invested enough money in my equip. but I don?t think it is possible to run Act 3 - 1.2 without changing the profile under 30 mins.

 

[flyguy]

a little update for anyone that cares. with the updated trinity and act 3 profiles i am now getting 32minutes-45minute runs. 78k dps ww barb buffed (w/o WOTB) 40k hp + cheap IK 5 set and 24% move speed

Mind PM'ing me your profile would like to see your "cheap" IK set - Also if you have any of your old WW gear before you upgraded let me know. I'm sitting at 1729 strength, 1222 vit, 10.5k armor, and 49.4k DPS w/o WOTB, 50.5% crit & 460% crit dmg. Average 0-4 deaths an hour.

you need more str, get close to 2k

 

[impulse718]

turn trash mobs down to 3-4 ticks it speeds up the run by a ton.

 

[ballerguan]

Im doing 35-40 min runs with monk 97 dps unbuffed 34% ms, only picking up high lvl items (62+ for wpns and armor 60+ jewelleries, thus lesser town runs) trash mob trigger at 5-6, dying 0-1 death per hour on the latest rad a3 champ farm profile.
