I see.. it still seems weird and unlogical too me.. But I guess you are right..

Reason I asked is I´m tired of being forced into 3-4 legendaries on every setup I make.. In order to afford those pieces I had to use versions with low stats on them purely for the increased block..

Since those items with good stats and good res are all priced at 50 million plus.. The 1-5 mills all have terrible stats aside from the block..

I want my gear to have stacked stats on every piece..It's such a shame % block is only on rare shields..

Your shield does not have 30% chance to block, it has a 22% chance to block. The +Block% mod is already included in the displayed Block % on the shield.

So basically sell it. And I got ripped off

and how do you kill lort?

i dont understand how im still getting beat in a3. the only improvement i think there really is to make is getting a justice lantern and yet im still getting my ass kicked in a3. do u think im just playing badly

Your gear looks great :/ I wish I had that set. Are you using the same talent set-up as he does?

Hey guys,

I've been boosting my dps ever since the Tyrael nerf, and it's currently at 18k. With my current gear I can complete the Siegebreaker run in 25 minutes, which is pretty good. You can check one of my runs here:

The gear requirement has gone up a lot, you actually need badass gear to do Act 3 now. I realize that a lot of you may now be unable to complete the run due to enrage timers, which sucks, but I think that we can work around that.

First, I suggest you guys try to play multiplayer. Since they also removed the increased damage from additional players, it is now viable to tank in a group. You may want to change a few skills, in particular Ground Stomp is great. Others you can try are Threatening Shout and Seismic Slam (Strength of Earth). Seismic slam is amazing against normal mobs but really struggles against elite packs, as they are immune to knockback. Also I found out the hard way that the little flowers in whimsyshire are immune as well.

Blizzard is also changing the loot tables soon, such that top tier loot will drop in Act 2. So being stuck there won't be the worth thing in the world!

Oh, yesterday I also did a full solo clear of the game s a sanity check. Starting at 5 stack Siegebreaker, I went down and killed Cydaea, Azmodan, then Iskatu, Rakanoth, Izual, and Diablo, rolling 5 stacks the whole way. It took me around 2 hours, but I did get 4 bosses worth of 5 stack loot so it was still good. In particular Cydaea and Azmodan are close to each other, so getting 5 stacks for them may be worthwhile. I will try this route again today.

yup. guess i was a little late though since the day i finished my setup was the day they nerfed tyrael.

Cydaea+Asmo is great but you're more likely to run into troublesome packs that kill you a few times, which can really throw off your efficiency.

Powerful, more Strength would probably give you the biggest bang for your buck since you could really use more Armor as well as more DPS.

What sort of budget to we need now then as a minimum to do A3 siege runs?
