act 2 elite farming, 5 games per hour too much?

[Wonder]

is 5 games/hour fine? Should I load different profiles, one after another? Im boting for one day only, tx for info.

Having some problems at act 3 thou, guess I need more than 20k hp, dps aint everything hmm

I would gear up for act 3 farming. It is worth it. I've been runnin act 3 for about 1 1/2 weeks and made 150 million gold. Never made that much in the month I ran act1 & 2.

Thank You for reply!

ok, but my gold and magic find will hurt. Now Im standing at:

21k hp
1200 LoH
700 res
70k unbuffed dps

24% speed from gear and 10% speed from pasive

And this is wearing gold armor. I just buff res to 1k and health to 35k hope ill be ok. Oh Im a monk btw. How do I set sweeping wind to be used only when elites are on screen? Since I one hit almost everything, and dont have innas set, and use a slow skorn (1400dps one thou) I sometimes run out of spirit.

I amke 360k gold/hour on act 1 and 300k on act 2. Not counting items (which were all crap till now anyway). And thst not playing with setting at all.

IMO gold find and magic find fall way behind survivability and killing power solely based upon you receive both from paragon level.

check the act 3 subforums, plenty of information there to get you started.

Eh doing act 3 fine. Had to change 10% run speed to resolve thou, my damage dropped to 54k ;( get rid of my gold armor, which is a shame since +100% gold and proc drops gold too, will try to implement it in, but will be hard.

Still wielding my 1400 dps skorn thou

50k life
54k dps
870 res
1050 loh
500 life per second
-8 phy
-6 ranged

And do you folks run same profiles over and over, or you make some longer list (like act3, act 2 act 3 act3...)??

No. Act 3 over and over (until the patch at least) the best gear drops in act 3. There is no reason to farm anywhere else. With the advances in Giles trinity entry level into act 3 has never been so cheap. You could probably start farming it for sub 10 mill gold now and then gear up from drops (would be slow at first). Thats essentially what I did with my barb. Got enough survivability so I could do it with 4-6 DPH. Then geared up from drops and I rarely die (maybe once a night if that)
