I'm not really confident that this gear setup and profile work as well as folks are claiming. With a lot better gear (1bil-2bil) I can see it working, but the items recommended are simply not adequate to come even close to MP8, let alone MP10.
edit: Ignoring elites with this setup isn't optimal. Yes, ignoring elites would be efficient vs spending the time to kill them -IF- it didn't cause deaths. I found that killing elites basically increased my survive rate 10 fold, and I am comfortably doing MP7/8 with little issue.
In summary, it works, but I have to kill elites.
Thanks so much for the guide. I just started back up in diablo and only spent 30kk with mostly sniped gear. Most of the gear is worse than you posted so I'm getting 10 deaths an hour but running mp10 with 1k iph and over 50mil xp is fucking epic. XD
If you don't have good enough gear, I really think you should skip elites :S Even with skip elites checked i tend to kill a couple from splash damage. The crits from my sprint while they chase me between groups is epic. If you're under geared you also need those reg mobs to leech life so you can take the elite hits. Sure you'll take a few deaths but it's worth it for the items.
I'm not sure what's going on, but I followed this guide with the recommended item purchases, and I am off from the stats quoted as being required. That being said, I am not terribly far off, and I can barely run MP3 with the recommended items. The profile works ok, but there are so many elite packs in this area that almost all deaths are caused by getting CC'd by them, and dying after the bot can't figure out how to deal with the CC (fear/wall/frozen etc). I've attempted to run this profile on MP6 to start, and was met with chain deaths. After backing down to MP5, I average 8 deaths per hour, which is still totally unacceptable. In fact I needed to back all the way down to MP3 to get deaths under control.

No. Unless you are like 350-400k dps unbuffed then you shouldnt be figthing elites. They will still die, but not from direct damage.
Give us a photo of your complete trinity setup and we can tell tyou what to tweak in order to get it to work better.
