Act 2 - Champion Hunting with death support

[Gardettos]

Lol, I didn't know that the act mattered for plans, I though I was just extremely unlucky because I've never had anything but crappy 4 prop plans from weeks of act 1 farming.

I think it does. I only get 4 prop in Act 1, 5 prop in Act 2, and 6 prop in Act 3

cant wait for a3. Keep up the good work Gardettos...I thought death handling was impossible until I saw this.

Whats quest is needed?

 

[thekingkong]

as long as you got the way points it shouldnt matter. Go with quest 9.3 or something

 

[Dbuddy]

is block or high def/life the only way to reduce deaths in act2?
poison/arcane and hard hitter still troubles my monk, not sure if i should switch to shield and loosing much damage

Well with Arcane and Poison, I have those avoidance turned off. It seems that when I try to avoid them I tend to die each time. You should be able to sit in about 4-5 of them before dying, this is with 1.2k LoH though.

What is your armor/hp/resist/loh at?

Great work by the way.

I have an strange bug at Oasis (profile nr. 5)

At this point D3/DB fucks up my VM - the VM feels like the CPU clocked down to 100MHz! Other VMs and the Host System is fine! The Bot and D3 run, but extremely slow - a vendor run would take about 10-15 mins - have seen this

Here the problem uccurs (everytime!):

(The graphics errors are normal since i upgraded my OS - need to be fixed by VMWare (VMWare Fusion, Mac))

35k life, 5k armor, 1k LoH, 23k dps, 874 res, 33% crit and ~100mf
avoidance is turned off, yes

 

[sifer]

Wow, I cant seem to survive with in this profile, 62k dps, 1200 all res, 7k armor, 50k hp, 200 mf,400 loh, im just getting rofl stomped deaded by arcane desecrator. Is it worth it ? or just go for act 1 super fast farming.

Do you use any melee damage reduction? if not, you need to grab a lot more armor ~ 7k and more hp(40k+ hp, preferably 45k). To be honest, the best way to achieve this is by grabbing a shield.

Everyone gets roflstomped by arcane/desecrator. I'd personally would turn off avoidance for everything beside desecrator. More LoH would help you quite a bit.

umm if you use earthquake and wotb you should kill elites within 5secs with that dps. In that time they wont be able to pull out all that shit. This is if you're a barb ofc

More life on hit was what did it for me, my Act 2 barb has 1k and then all his other skills stuff that heals too. Put on superstition to help with desecrator/arcane/etc. If your DPS isn't killing things fast enough for you to survive, its worth trading some for life regen to offset the ground effects. My barb has 16k DPS and kills things just fine.

Just a thought, with that kind of DPS, maybe make sure you have Bloodthirst passive, get life steal on a weapon, and get a belt with life steal? There might be other eq that has it also. At 62K DPS, every 1% life steal is like 620 regen per second while in combat

My barb is similar yours with 1.1k arcane while everything else is 1k resist, 1.2k LoH & low 17k damage. I tank just stand still and kill everything without a problem. I did die to frozen/desecrator/arcane/fast (Currently the only thing I've died to.).



anyoen able to clear this with a monk? if so, what are your stats?

Perhaps it's the 400 loh. Sac some dps for moar loh.

Yikes A2 profiles have a huge jump from A1. My best barb runner- 1400 LoH, 850 res, 20k dps, 43k hp, 250mf was getting raped too often. Would probably have to sacrifice to around 150-200mf at the min.

If your armor is at 10k and 1k all resist buff, you should be fine. Also, 50k+hp really helps

Thanks for the profile mate !

Any idea why my bot only focusses the Treasure Goblins for ~1 second before turning around and running away? I've got GilesMonsterPriorityChanger installed and set to "prioritize" :/

Kind regards

Probably because of this


<ToggleTargeting questId="1" combat="True" looting="True" lootRadius="80" killRadius="40" />


I have it set to 40 but need to put it back up to 60 for everyone else. My build needs a smaller kill radius cause I am ranged and try to spam through walls.
