I can solo all of act 2 spare belial (need about 2k more DPS). [email protected] is my battle.net or madslane#1316. I'll be game to help clear/farm act 2. Not up to par for act 3 yet.

Dunno about anyone else, but I'm making a nice profit via the RMAH due to gold prices. :)

For sure. And we aren't stinge with loot. When we find something we think will help another, we just post it and ask who wants. The more we power up, the quicker we get better loots. I'm going to spend about 800k later tonight when I get on to try and max out some gems if anyone will need some. Those provide huge bonuses. But my WD doesn't need any really at the moment.

I'm running on central time. I'll probably be on around 830 to 9 oclock, and should stay on till about 11.

I have my gem guy to rank 10 and can make up to star level gems. If you haven't fully upgraded yours yet I can combine some for you. Star level gems cost about 600k on the AH but you can make them for about 150k or so through the merchant.

Razor, a friend, and I finally beat Act 2 after a lengthy battle with Belial. Took us about 7 tries... and we downed him just as the server messages about shutting down appeared. Was a tough battle for sure. He just kept 1 shotting razor and my friend due to them bieng DH's, and it was a race for me to just keep reviving them, as my damage wasn't that great. I was basically just trying to stay alive to keep them up. Was a ton of fun though, and really intense.

Haven't had this much fun in this game ever. The new patch surely was a great improvement for coop play. I actually now prefer to play with a friend than play solo.

I figured out his pattern on the 3rd time. If he did 2 quick small smashes in a general area, he would then do a 3rd really big one that would cover that whole area that the 2 small ones were in. If it was just 1 small bash with a pause period, the would then go for the spray attack or do another small bash in another area of the map. After the spray, he normally would go for the pools everywhere. Once he enraged that one time, he did double pools attack, and that just got us lol.

When you and marcus finally figured out how to dodge his spray, it got easier to keep you guys alive. But before that, every time he did his spray, I would just start to run to one of you for a rez :p. The only things that really got to me was his pools if i couldn't escape, or his really big smash attack. That would bring me to like 5% health, in which if I didn't move enough, the next attack got me.

But having to rez both of you let me learn his attacks pretty well. I was able to be like, Ok, I can rez now, or I just had to run around until he did his pattern. But without your guys damage, I couldn't have done it myself. I just don't do the damage. I just soak it up and outlast it :p

Lets see how we manage act 3 now :)

I made it as far as the Spider Queen in Act 1 Inferno w/o resorting to the AH. But after wiping about 10 times on that fight solo'ing on my Barbarian, I gave up my AH-less conquest and tried to pick up some gear. I was being thrifty (only 200k in the bank) but hopefully with a new boots, head piece, and shield I might be able to get a little further. Blah.

200k? I have 22k and I'm totally stuck in not only Inferno on my 60 DH, but several of my Hell mode characters are just totally getting rammed in act 2. I was having very few problems playing before 1.04 but now it's like, ridicules :(

Thus, I can't even buy anything (good) on the AH now. All my money is going towards repairs and potions :(

Idk... Try to find stuff that if for ~1k and is about to expire. Focus on survivability primarily and then DPS... I had to play through HELL about 4-5 times (well, act 3 and 4) before I had enough gear to get to the Spider Queen in Inferno. It helps if you have a friend play with you so you can help each other out gear wise. If you die more than 3 times on a group of elites it is probably time to go back.

See... as a barb I focused almost entirely on offense. Going into inferno I had 20k dps and 30k health and it was fairly easy. Defense is great and all, but you don't need defense if you kill everything in 1 hit.

I'm now at 40k health, 50k dps, and 600 all res with buffs and act 3 is kind of tough, it's actually somewhat of a challenge. I'm working on getting more all res gear and life % gear though which should hopefully help. Dps all the way though. :punk:

That being said.. GW2 is out so I probably won't touch this game for a while. :rofl:

But if anyone wants access to a level 10 gem artisan I'd be more than happy to log on to give you access to mine. I also have a level 10 blacksmith but I don't have all that many extra plans for him.

GW2 is out already? I thought it wasn't until tomorrow.... or is that what you are basically implying ;P

LOL, i feel the same way with all of you on my list. I hate to bug, except those friends I know in real life :p

But I'm never busy on the game, and always looking to help, as that is my nature lol. I should be on as well at various points tonight, and since I dont work tomorrow, probably till the weeeeee hours of the morning. I'll be busy though the rest of the weekend with other events and such.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      This is about the EU given consumers options, Apple is all about not giving options and locking you into its own services, this hurts Apple far more than it hurts the EU market because it makes Apple products look less appealing by Apple refusing to offer its own service because they have to give options to rivals, the end results are consumers might look at alternatives like Android. It's a game Apple can't really win when there are alternatives and Apple will in time change course on this, until then, let Apple hurt themselves in the EU market.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.
