whats your main hand weapon?
i lost like 11k dps equipping soj. but i clear about 5 mins faster
I originally started gold farming back when it was profitable, and used autoit for sark, best botting spot since you get the best of both worlds, loot and gold. got banned, remade started over as gold then progressed to act 3. i didnt start act 1 or 2 since i sniped some great gear before prices hiked up like crazy so ive been upgrading my bots ever since. Currently im content with my 2x 1h so im upgrading my 1h+shield and and 2h ww. Everything ive been making has been profit since 3 weeks ago. it takes time but pays itself off eventually.
my DPS is low, anybody can tell what the problem is:
1778 str
1309 vit
crit hit chance 53%
crit hit damage 310%
all resis 1000
hp 48k
Dps 51k
all stats are when im buffed. im using 1h/ss, main hand damage is 800.
You sound like you know what you're talking about. My barb is currently paragon level 4 and I have him botting Act 1 with CIGGARC's champion hunting profile. Making about 90-140k GPH. I know the GPH is terrible but seeing as it's also leveling up paragon do you think this is my best option right now? I don't have enough gold to spend on gear with good stats and GF %.The only alternative I've found is to run Act 3 nightmare with my DH using fragmam's profile and I make about 300-350k GPH with that, but it's not leveling paragon.
How much LS, LOH do you have? You need more str, and def a better weapon or your rends will be gimped, try to get a 950+ dps weapon if you can.
Your on the right track, if you dont have any mf gear and rely solely on paragons, its always good to work on them because it benefits your character greatly, not only mf but stats as well. also I find that act 1 gear requirements arent as expensive as the later acts so it shouldnt break your bank in terms of upgrades. Unfortunately your best bet is to camp the AH and see if you can snipe some decent gear to upgrade to later acts because imo, relying on RND luck for champ farming could be frustrating at times.
Since you have a GPH farming, i would make sure they are making as much $$ as possible since they are a direct cash resource, its risky in terms of getting banned but i see no point in gold farming if you cant* maximize their profits. Your essencially asking to get banned while bringing in nothing. the margin between 350k - 500k is almost 50% of what your currently making, which is hella lot.
@ placebro, i updated my original post, both content and grammer, i really should proof read before posting.
