    Wait, Azmodan has a rage? What is it? I just did him the other day on Barb and it was a long ass fight with my 10k dps. I didn't notice any changes in damage amount or abilities being spammed during the fight. And he's not listed on the 1.0.3 update notes with the other bosses.

    Think he just throws more pools around, but if you were pretty much straight tanking him the whole time, probably not surprising you wouldn't notice since he may've done 'em off-screen.

    I didn't straight tank him the whole time. I ran from the pools. That's why it was like a 10 minute fight. But he didn't increase the spawn rate on them.

    Maybe they took it out of the final patch? I'm not sure what happened but I'm certain they had said he was going to start spawning a lot more pools after 3 mins.

    Agree with Plow.

    I was almost positive he was supposed to increase the spawn rate.

    You guys making much selling commodities? The lowest price per unit isn't quite low enough on some things. Who is paying 25 cents apiece for exquisite essences?

    When they reduced the chance of salvaging legendary materials from items did they just completely make it impossible to get brimstones except on legendaries? I haven't seen a single one since off magic or rare items.

    So how do I get better as Wizard in Inferno? I have been running Butcher with a Venom/Blizzard setup and it has gotten extremely boring to the point of not even playing anymore. I get smoked in Act 2 and I just don't know what stats to look for with the 400k gold I have. Current stats are

    25k DPS
    23k Life
    2232 armor before energy armor
    resists ranging from 493-636

    I have 0 life on hit I'm sure that is a big one, I just don't know where to begin on the AH because once I start looking into crit gear etc my resists will plummet since I'm broke. Help a guy who has no idea how to play this game right lol.

    Your dps is low which is a big thing. Look for improved attack speed on gloves, they're cheap and do wonders for dps. Act 2 just blows hard for wizards. most things leap at you or have a nasty ranged move, so don't feel like you're doing anything wrong.

    I saw a Wizard in Act-3 Inferno that was pretty much soloing everything with some setup that involved Mirror Image - Mirror Mimics (so all clones' spells actually work) paired up with Frost Nova and Illusionist. (Probably a few other things like Cold Blooded, etc.)

    He would bum-rush in, freeze everything with Frost Nova, Mirror Image some clones out who would then randomly Frost Nova as well, and any time he took a hit of damage, his Mirror Image cooldown would reset, and he would pop them out again who would continue to spam Frost Nova.

    Of course he had to have a decent amount of life-on-hit and a shield to make it work, but it was pretty gnar.

    Hows your weapon? I have about 40k HP, 44k DPS, 0 loh, about 5k armor (after energy armor), and only bought about half my gear, and farmed the other half. Diamondskin/teleport/venom hydra/force armor + seeker missile/blizzard. I have less resist than you though (400ish tops). About 2k INT and 900 VIT. I used to have problems clearing things (28k previously with force weapon) as well until I focused a bit more on damage, since that allows your hydra to just dot everything to death if you can't really get in there to damage (jumping lacuni for one...).

    If you can, try to upgrade some of your res all to more INT if possible. IAS ring/INT are good. INT/movement+12%/VIT boots are cheap I think, but tacking on res all is gonna bump it up hard. Look up some +200-300 INT weapons on AH. If you have been salvaging your ilv61+ items, you can pawn off your exquisites on AH pretty easily for 1500+ per (haven't checked prices recently). Check their sell price vs. AH price though; I rather sell 1500ish+ items to merchant rather than salvage, since iridescents are near worthless.

    Don't worry about crit dmg until you get your base gear together to good shape. Crit dmg, movement speed are all very good once you can start farming act 3. Running around in 25% movement is pretty awesome too.

    On an item like the following, if you add a piece of the set you get all 4 of the stats listed below I assume. If you add a 3rd piece of the set do you get those 4 stats added again or just nothing extra? Been curious for awhile how that works for sets.

    ^^ if it's anything like WoW, no. You only get the stats that are explicitly labeled, in this case 2 is the only set bonus.

    My DH has around 50k dps, and I feel it's still rather weak in order to farm act3 consistently (act2 is np). The question is, roughly how much dps does one need in order to farm act3 easily? Will 60k dps be sufficient?

    if you feel you're lacking in punch try using sharpshooter and cluster bombs with either grenadier, vengeance, or both. they allow you to simulate far more damage than you're really worth. right after the ias nerf i was in the 45k damage range and CA/CB really helped me work over just about everything with average gear. make sure if you go that route, though, that you get as much crit chance and damage as possible on your gear. your starting goal with CB's, if it doesn't already, is to make sure that one crit from the smaller bomb is enough to one-shot trash mobs. once you're able to do that you should be moving really quickly through zones and it all becomes a matter of how good your aim and tactics are against elites.

    Haven't logged in since the haste patch and haven't really played since just before it. I have like no gold on me, made a few $'s off of act3 farming champs.

    With all the changes, whats a safe place to pick up from and start farming again? I have like 38k gold and 60k dps with sharpshooter. Should I just spam act1 for moneys? I'm currently logged out at the act2 goblin ancient path. Not sure what kind of gear I should be wearing or what.

    yeah i'd probably just do A1 if you only got 38k gold and haven't played in a while. some "buffer" money to get acclimated to A3 farming would be prudent. doubt you'd find anything super nice but it's a start. then i'd try to build up to a decent goldfinding set so i could do sarkoth for a few hours and then go from there.
