But first you gotta have money to make money, lol. I can't seem to get my bank account to stay above 15K, and I keep spending it to expand the stash and train the artisans XD
Wow, I'm not sure what to think about the gem combine reduction. It's been 3 gems to combine up since the very beginning. This is a pretty big deal.
Hahaha. Most of this stuff hasn't impacted me yet, so I can't comprehend the effects of the changes. I'm not Level 60, not in Inferno, haven't had the Nephalem Valor buff, etc etc etc. Meanwhile the gem thing as I mentioned is a pretty substantial change to something that AFAIK has been constant since the first days of D2 twelve years ago.haha WHAT. is that really the main thing you are taking from that post? dont really care about the gameplay balancing and high-level item distribution..? naw, combining flawed gems is where the action is at
Technically since you get double screwed on cuts (one to Blizz and another to take it out from blizz into paypal from my understanding, and that's not going into the fact you technically have to report it on taxes), I can't see it being that profitable in the future barring very rare items. But yeah, for now since it's all brand new, definitely be a decent moneymaker if you've been saving lol. Would've been my sole reason for getting it if I'd bought Diablo 3.I just got this game yesterday, and I wish I got it earlier. It's very very fun, my first Diablo game, but the main reason is this real money auction thing. What the fuck? Pay 60 bucks for the game, get your money back and more possibly from this if you put enough time into it. Pretty damn crazy.
Rabid Dogs doesn't proc bad medicine. If you wanna proc bad medicine use Gargantuan with Big Stinkerso i figured out a way to make zombie dogs/pets semi-viable, at least through hell. a combination bad medicine + rabid dogs (to proc bad medicine), jungle fortitude and zombie handler reduces the damage zdogs take by a whopping 40% from passives alone, provided you can keep consistent poison damage on all the mobs (locust swarm is excellent for this, so is the gargantuan runed with big stinker), and also increases the max hp of pets by 20%, making them a whole lot tankier.
int is obviously the main stat in this built, providing damage and all-too-important resistances, which your pets inherit. vit is not important as your pets don't scale with it, so instead i use strength for the armor and dex for the dodge (up to a cap), poison/fire resists for plagued and molten mobs, resists in general and on-hit ccs (stun, freeze, etc).
zombie handler can be subbed out for fierce loyalty if you plan to use hp5 or thorn items, and leeching beasts can also be used on dogs if you can provide enough poison support with locust swarm/acid cloud.
so far my pets are doing fine in hell and can p much tank everything in nightmare, and they may even work in inferno act 1, though i haven't reached there yet. still working out some stuff, will post the finished built when it's done.
Hard to tell how the market will be long term but the first week has been good to me for 15 hours of "work" i got 5 million gold and this...Technically since you get double screwed on cuts (one to Blizz and another to take it out from blizz into paypal from my understanding, and that's not going into the fact you technically have to report it on taxes), I can't see it being that profitable in the future barring very rare items.

Now if only WoW would have a RMAH...tons of crap I would be more than happy to sell instead of having useless gold.
Lucky! Is that solo farming or in a group? I've had totally shit luck with standard Cydaea/Azmo runs, which are intensely frustrating when playing solo and dealing with constant spear chucker elites, ugh. It's hard to say what the market is going to be like until commodities and gold trading opens... kinda hope they come out with an ETA on that soon. Also related but I'm a little disgusted that people would actually spend $250 on a single item... but taking advantage of other people's bad decisions is basically the backbone of the RMAH, I guess.Hard to tell how the market will be long term but the first week has been good to me for 15 hours of "work" i got 5 million gold and this...
Interested to see how long the market holds water before the inevitable saturation point happens with items very rarely leaving the econmy
