I have been farming Warden and Butcher myself, it doesnt take too long to do and getting 5 stacks is fairly fast. There is a good gold return and tons of blues to sell, since both bosses drop 6 or so blues and 2-3 rares.
I had my 5 stack drop off for some reason when i accepted the quest in cursed hold, so I go on to the hold clear it then hit the cemetary for the crypts and get any remaining stacks and then port back to the hold.
I am using the same spec, I haven't done much of act 2 yet but I am cruising through act 1 at least. 1 hand and shield, resist at 400 but I know i gotta get more than that for sure. So going to farm act 1 with some 5 stack nephs and butcher and hope for higher resist gear.
I like having 2 get outta jail skills, especially arcane/jailer/molten/plague/frozen and then charge back in for more health. Popping wotb on packs and bosses really helps on burning them down. But thinking act 2+ ignore pain is going to replace wotb.
I used one hander and shield all through NM and into Hell, it gives a lot of stats plus armor and block. But like stated, your weapon needs to be the best you can get at your current level.
Barbs main stat is strength which gives armor and dmg, dex will add to your dodge. Need a lot of health is Hell, str vit should be on all of your gear if possible dex is good to have as well. I use amethyst and rubies in all gear sockets.
Are there supposed to be rares drop off of bosses in Nightmare? Figured since it was a new difficulty, there should be a chance at new rares. Or does it work differently?
Thought being a melee char i would want a ranged follower, but the self heal and other abilities for the Templar are better and can save ya from dying. Plus he talks about the Scoundrel always talking about women is kinda funny.
Just the 15th and 16th here, couldn't take the rest of the week. But a couple days is good to get in and get some stuff done, work a couple days and then a weekend slaughter fest....
:Thumbs Up:
Most Gamestops are doing a midnight launch, because Max Payne 3 comes out the same day which is helping some of the smaller stores to have a midnight release. In my smallish town they are having one because of this if not they wouldn't have because they didn't get enough D3 pre-orders WTH!!
If you really want the CE goodies I would wait, no sense in buying both. The systems may not be stable till Tuesday morning anyway, won't be missing that much.
Although it could be ready to go at 3 am but dunno....
