2. Bring in a world event dependent on certain very seldom actions being performed by the players. Like Uber Diablo event.
Again, my applause to you for bringing this up. Was there a bigger thrill in D2 than to be mindlessly farming and see that boner-inducing message on your screen? DIABLO WALKS THE EARTH!!!
Sadly, the spawning of Diablo in this fashion was accomplished by selling thousands of duped SoJ. I would suggest that D3 devs cough up a slightly more sensible (yet still uber fuckin rare) manner of creating the spawns.
New, random events, like the few there are now, released on a consistent developmental basis could really spice up farming. Aand, dev/blues could advertise in what zone these events could spawn to encourage farming diversity and maybe achiev props?? Could be seerious boner-inducing stuff
I agree, having a lot more fun with the game now. First, are expansion details anticipated at blizzcon? And 2, is pvp still on the agenda or is it only brawling and if yes, will this have to be an expansion feature?
Any1 heard any whispers or speculations on the 'true' real money value of gold per 1mil post dupe? Or how much gold was actually duped in total?? And was it really only 415 players who exploited the "bug" as the blue post says???
I'm actually really liking this build, a nice change of pace from archon farming and the damage is just about there there. The only thing is survivability, I'm running with blur and all res gear and still archon seems a lot tankier. Want to try and sneak diamond skin in there somehow but don't want to lose teleport and, w/ my gear at least, can't really sacrifice any AP generators.
Aaand, if you're farming pretty efficiently and not dying, grab an Andariel's Visage, can seriously boost deeps and looks awesome. Or the mempo equivalent if you can afford it.
I don't particularly need any of the questions answered.
I do, or at least would really appreciate some of these questions answered. I would want to know just what kind of economic monster I'm up against. When I farm, I'd like to know what kind of market I'm selling into.
I don't play monk anymore but I will point out what I see as more obvious points of improvement, maybe not on the survivability aspect but should certainly help with dps and with that, improve your lifesteal:
First, on a 100m budget, I would definitely upgrade the gems in both your weapons to the 100% crit damage in each, thats an easy 40% crit damage increase right there and shouldn't cost you too much.
Second, I would get trifecta gloves (and a trifecta ring, if you are willing to ditch the hellfire) which also shouldn't cost too much at this point, even with the same stats you have, including cold resist. (Hellfire is nice for the bonus xp but yours is unfortunately not very good. So I would say here, either ditch it when doing those high level MP's or try to farm a better one because that ring slot could do you a lot of good.)
Your amulet can definitely be better, I would say continue to craft those, along with gloves if you don't want to AH at the moment (also gives you something to continue to play for).
I would buy Lacuni's Prowlers with the full attack speed and also with crit chance, I'm not sure how much these are anymore but could be a nice little improvement even with (close to) as much resist all.
And finally, I would suggest trying a new weapon set up, i.e. having one weapon with >1k dps/3 lifesteal/socket and your other weapon with >1k dps/crit damage/socket instead of trying to get both stats on a weapon which gets ridiculously pricey over 900 dps. This will still be the bulk of your budget getting two new weapons but definitely an improvement from what you have. And don't shy away from yellow (rare) weapons instead of legendaries, can be just as good, just make sure they have 'black' damage instead of holy, poison, etc.
These improvements are in no particular order (except the gem upgrade coming first) so just play around and see what you can get away with with that hundo mil.

And these producers, do they have rmah's? Kind of a serious question.
