Elite Counter

[enterthedragon]

Please forgive me if this isn't the right place to post this or if this is a double from somewhere else...but I could not find it with a quick search. If it's on these forums please direct me to where it is located.

Is it possible to count the number of elite packs killed so that when you get to 494 (or something close to it) you have the option to stop farming or to switch acts? Unless I'm taking the Blizzard statement "500 elites killed = legendary" to literal... But if I gold farm hell it would be nice if I'd get some sort of warning when I'm getting close to a legendary drop so I can switch to something more in tune with the type of legendary I'd like to acquire...act 3 inferno for example with enough of a warning to get 5 stacks before the drop.

Please let me know if this exists or what you think...and if it's possible and you can create it -- thanks!

There is no such thing that guarantee 1 legendary with 500 elite kill. That was the rumor from a troll poster on forum before patch 1.04.

I'd be interested in an elite counter as well -- but more along the lines of elites per hour (even better, elites killed per hour).

For example:
Minions: 800 per hour
Rares: 50 per hour
Unique: 40 per hour
Boss: 10 per hour
Treasure Goblin: 12 per hour

My thought is by adjusting your gear, you should see your average per hour also adjust. Adding 300 strength caused my rare per hour to go up by 5, minions by 80 and bosses by 1.

Thoughts?

Rares items / hour that you can find in Trinity folder is perfect for that. I test different gear, spec etc and see which one gives best rares / hour
