Hi guys, I have noticed that my A3 bot has not yet attained any items worth more than 10 million. I am running A3 about 45 mins per run with 0 DPH. MF, 284 with 5 NV, is not great but i think it's ideal enough to see some pretty good drops. I am here to get some advise from pro botters in A3. Should I get more MF or get MS+ more dps to decrease the time needed for each run. Feel free to throw in your ideas...

Another question, I'm investing 1-2 Billion into a char for next patch. Thinking about a monk or should I go barb..
Thanks DB community.
 
Sounds like you way overinvested in your toon. How long have you been running him with no good finds?

What pargon lvl?

The one I'm running now is a Barb whom i invested 130 million in. Now hes at paragon lvl 37 with 284 Magic Find.
The next toon will be a monk that I'm thinking of investing 1-2 billion in. Once I get enough profit I will sell the gear as well as the current gold market inflates at a rate that is faster than the US unemployment.....

This is a bad plan if your trying to make money, and your MF gear is going to be more and more worthless and you plvl. I wouldnt spend another dime on the 130mil barb, remember hes going to get stronger as he levels and you might get banned at any time.

And for 130mil the barb should be ROFL stomping act 3. I spend 50-100 mill on my barbs and they die once in while but its not worth the extra investment.
 
As for item finds its all luck, ill go 5 days with absolute crap then get 5 items all worth $100+ the next day.

Not going to invest more for my barb. I am wondering is it normal that i havent seen any good drops with 280 mf for 3 days now. all the legendary drops i got was pretty bad.

Yes, keep running him. You will get somthing worth $100+ within a couple more days im sure. Thats alot of MF
 
You know, investing a lot of gold doesn't necessarily mean you will have a great toon. For 50-70M budged you can build a barb that will trash act 3 and dies only 1/2 times per run due to some insane witches (-50% armor ) frozen/desecrator/arcane combo (that is if wotb insanity is down). Sure u can spend 500m on a char, but its simply not worth the risk.

Btw, i am talking about a sword&board barb with rend build.
Also don't forget, if you plan to include azmodan in ur run, you either will need like 1k loh, or at least 175k dps buffed with wotb frenzy.

Ive had alot of luck with a 20mil skorn and then everything else under 2mil.

Thank u for ur advice,
but I can kill Azmadon easily with SNB build. 75k buffed dps 800AR, 12K armor, 42 block 40k hp...
my concern is the shitty drops i have been getting for the past 3 days.

imo block is way overated...

Skorn + Andreals + Lifesteal Belt and the rest can be garbage will all res
 
60k hp, 1k all res, 1.3k LOH and 95k damage with berserker and you can kill azmo real quick by standing in the aoe and pummeling him.

Under 75mil
 
Why don't you sell the billion gold for cash and buy more licenses of diablo III and demonbuddy? My lvl 24 paragon barb with 20k dps found 4 legendaries in 1 hour while my lvl 61 paragon barb found 1 all day. Who needs magic find when you can have more barbs? That's all you need, an army of barbs, and you will watch the loot flow in.
