Diminishing returns. Boy i gain 10K DPS with the 2 socket.

Well, I say keep the 2 socket. It looks Badass man. 181 DEX, 99CD and 2 socket again. But then, ur 1 socket very hard to sell la. Easier to sell that 2 socket.

Well, how much does such 2 sockets go on US server? if you can get lots of gold to do upgrades to other parts, maybe is much better to sell. Tell you what, go find AH and see whether you have anything you wanna buy and see whether selling that manticore can get you those stuff. If can, i think you should sell.

but bear in mind, now is -416 DPS if you switch to 2 socket but if you manage to upgrade other parts and keep that 2 socket, it'll slowly become +xxx DPS.

So, get some IAS and CC. Good Luck!

p.s: mine lousy la.

Then that's good. yeah in the long run is gonna benefit you even more.

Wlcling is right on the base damage. Is also why i opted for a 1.2k with 1 socket instead of 1k with 2 socket. but then if u manage to get more IAS and CC, the 2 socket will benefit you more.

C'mon gems on US servers are dirt cheap. I've been reading the threads here.

oh btw, the best way to get CC and AS is through rings.

Well, manticore users gotta increase their AS or u're loosing a lot man.

I don't agree. More IAS means faster hatred regen, crit, procs and also more damage done within the shortest possible time. Imagine a static DH with high IAS, before he or she moves again, a fast shooting one might have able to launch 3 shots compared to the 2 of a slow one.

I think is like improving your weakest part.

and besides with higher AS, you can stutter step much much better.

So I won't say a manticore user should focus on CD instead of AS.

Haha. Ryperer knows better =P

Well, i made around 70mil selling my inna's belt and the inna's pant that i bought for 1.4mil or was it 1.3mil.

And yesterday while chatting with edge85, i found a slorak's madness that sold for 200mil. I think i under sold it cuz insta buyout again. So no idea there.

Then also sell stuff for like 100k to 150k each. Should be there la.

Nope no bid on 4 and i forgot the time left. But i can't justify paying like 50 to 60mil more for 64 VIT. If is 30 AR, sure i'll pay but man is VIT.

What about this one

The none lacuni is: (19mil bid, 99mil b/o)
- DEX 160
- VIT 35
- AR 65
- CC 6 percent

You lucky dude. Lately my drops have been towards wiz gears. No idea why. But yeah i won't b/o that piece of bracers, maybe look at how the bidding goes. Ideally i want some AR on my bracers so i'm considering the rare as a lacuni with AR is in the 300mil region and the one without is 120mil region.

Added on November 12, 2012, 3:46 pmWell, it has 65AR and an extra 1percent CC. I definitely won't b/o on that piece. i was thinking to save up an extra 60mil and buy a lacuni with AR but then 200mil extra for 30 AR? That just doesn't add up at all.

Mempo with Dex and CC is TOTALLY out of my budget. Here is like minimum 750mil. So unless i strike jackpot with something EPIC i can only window shop there.

The pants had 100DEX on it and pick up radius. Lousy pants i would say but people love to bid and most importantly they like to WIN. =)

Well, i think americans are much stupid but yeah..

don't get the 70mil for 64 VIT and 1.4mil for 64 VIT part.

Location: Act 3 Arreat Crater Level 2
Monster: Occulist Elite Pack
Affixes: Reflect Damage + Extra Health + Health Link + Desecrator (luckily not waller)
MP level: MP10
Party Members: 3 DH and 1WD.

Action Taken: We all RAN.

6mil? hmm.. well you have no AR so places to get them for a DH imo would be

1. shoulders (vile ward)
2. bracers (any rare with CC)
3. pants (inna's temperance)
4. belt (inna's favor / witching hour)
5. helm (mempo of twilight)

p.s: for future references.

Well, i see you have embrace on, maybe get a bloody footprint to get that 7percent CC. Rings has to go as well.

For rings, you have imo two ideal combination for a manticore user.

Option1 has the following rolls
- XX-XX damage
- XX IAS
- XX CC
- XX DEX

Option 2 has the following rolls
- XX DEX
- XX IAS
- XX CC
- XX All resist

Again, for future references since DISC is very important to a DH player. You can get DISC at the following parts

1. Natalya Embrace (max 10 DISC)
2. Dead Man Legacy (max 10 DISC)
3. Stone of Jordan (max 10 DISC)

For amulets, i personally prefer the following roll:
- XX-XX damage
- XX IAS
- XX CC
- XX DEX

but, you can also go replace average damage(XX-XX damage) with the following:
1. Resistant to all elements
2. Vitality or
3. IAS (expensive option)

Right now, how are you coping with inferno with monster power? dying too often? killing takes too long? let me know and i'll give you more feedback.

The pleasure is mine bro.

Anyway the positive are:
1. Nice HP pool you have there.
2. Nice CC as well.
3. Nice AR, as 1 hour ago, i had less AR than you. Yeah, totally tofu me.
4. Your DISC pool is fine.

Things you need to work on.
1. 1.50 AS is too slow.
2. 1.8k DEX is too low.

So yeah, you want to earn gold? well, u can either farm MP1 alkaizer route as many times as possible OR pay 30USD and join Ryperer's private GAH/RMAH classes. Personally, i'll recommend the former.

p.s: u didn't get the manticore too early. 157k is a steal

@lksing78

Is Nightstalker not vengeance for disc regeneration.

@dante1989

here's how i test myself whether i can do that particular MP level when i don't have such good gears.

Go Act 3 and find those annoying phase beast. Kill anyone around them and when u're done, let them smack you. If you can take the hit and not get one shotted or red screen, you pretty much are able to do that level.

not just a bit.. will boost A LOT. very nice of you guys man..

It seems hulkie is a big fan of unity. May i ask why?

oh btw dante,

if u're gonna get a DML, decide which hatred generator you wanna you use.

Dead Man Legacy

I want that signet of yours =)

oh, i got a new bracers. 35mil

141 DEX
69 VIT
72 AR
6% CC

I totally get you. Pre 1.0.5 was hell for my DH as well. So i rolled a monk and made money selling ghom kills to DHs and WD. It was heaven back then.

Oh a tip for dante, i think rings like litany would be very cheap now. Basically those with AR on it. People are going to tend to favor hellfire ring and a ring that brings DPS to it. Since litany is a defensive ring, not popular.

I never did like the traps mechanism. Too slow for my liking and definitely too slow when farming mobs. I think the boar is better and i think many people don't understand that

DPS = Damage X Time.

If u're gonna be always on the move, you r not going to be able to sustain your DPS no matter what paper DPS you have. This is my opinion la.

But i can see you came up with a nice combo there with caltrops and traps. So kudos to you.

On ice climbers, on the EU servers, many felt that best combination would be Lacuni + Depth Diggers + NAT booots/ice climbers(12%MS) but this combination is expensive. I've yet to seen a DH uses ice climbers and u might just be the first! The inna's combination works well for calamity users as well.

Oh btw, i think Bola shot > Hungering Arrow. On low MP levels when you can one shot mobs, HA beats bola but on higher MP levels, Bola is much much better.

I like the NAT ring you want. I want that too but i know is going to cost a bomb and i dont want to ditch the hellfire ring.
