Is there anything more I can do if my account has been hacked beyond submit an account recovery ticket? I submitted one several days ago and haven't had any response yet.

Is there a detailed explanation somewhere of exactly how life-on-hit works vs. lifesteal etc.? I just picked up a one-hander with dramatically more LoH than my previous weapon -- before I was using a socketed lifesteal weapon with a 300 LoH gem, the new weapon has 800+ LoH and some lifesteal but a smaller percent. The weird thing is that the green healing number seem to have gone down! I was expecting to start seeing great big +800 health per swing numbers, but instead, I've gone from typically seeing 200-500 green with spikes of as much as 1500 on crits, to seeing, well, typically in the 50-80 hp range. Playing a monk using sweeping wind/cyclone and deadly reach/keen eye. Any ideas as to what might be up?

For some reason, LoH only shows up when it's actually healing damage, and never in a higher amount than you need. Lifesteal always displays the full amount leached, even when already at full health. Why it's done that way beats the Hell out of me, but that's the likely source of your confusion.

Ooohkay that suddenly makes a shitload more sense. It was freaking me out because (having used lifesteal since forever since I couldn't afford LoH) I was expecting the green numbers to pop with every swing, and playing in hardcore mode I didn't exactly want to do extensive "testing." Thanks!

Another thing with LoH is that every skill has a different coefficient. I've seen some charts floating around, but I don't think they're terribly necessary unless you're trying to calculate which is better, LoH or LS.

Is removing a battle.net authenticator from my account and then adding it back on at some later date a relatively speedy/painless process? I had planned on playing today with some friends, but I lost my phone on Friday night (pretty sure someone took it), and for a variety of reasons I don't see myself getting a new one for another week or so. edit: nevermind, I was able to install the app on an ipad and restore it using the serial/restore code.

What's the "trick" to getting some of the ridiculously high DPS numbers I've been seeing lately? Was a DH today listed at around 70k, and a WD on a stream I watched yesterday was up to 140k unbuffed. Is it just a matter of stacking crit chance/dmg, or...?

Usually, you'll at least get a "hey, we're looking into it" notification? I'd say submit another ticket, or better yet just try to call it in. Worst case scenario, they'll have you send in some ID (faxing I think?) to confirm it's really you, then they can start tracking what went wrong. Back when I didn't have an authenticator, it never took more than maybe two to three days from start to finish.

Stacking Crit/Crit damage is the most common way to get high DPS, but for really really high numbers it comes down to stacking all of the DPS stats. Crit/Crit Dam wont get you there alone. People breaking that 100K unbuffed DPS mark are stacking Main Stat/Crit/Crit Damage/Attack Speed to huge levels and then using very high DPS weapons on top of that.

How the hell does the gem economy work? Seems like it'd be a huge loss to craft a gem and sell it, regardless of quality. Who crafts those things and why?

It's a loss to craft and sell, but it's not a loss to sell what you pick up. I haven't run the numbers, but it may make sense to craft gems for your own use, as well. And gems only drop up to Flawless Square grade. Above that, you have to craft or purchase crafted gems (which are undoubtedly sold for a profit).

Calling Customer Service, of any business, is almost always faster than submitting a complaint electronically. My WoW account was hacked before they had authenticators (way back when) and I called. I was on hold for a while, obv, but then they fixed it within minutes.

I crunched the numbers, and it's not much of a profit at the first rungs (perfect square and radiant square). You need the two gems, a number of tomes of secrets, and a silly combine fee. The finished goods aren't much more profitable than the tomes and the non-drop gems plus the silly fee. In the case of perfect square gems, they sell for the cost of the tomes + the fee. Maybe the gems from the dropped gem patterns you teach Shen sell for a profit?

It's been a few weeks since I've done much with them, but the Star gems at least were selling for a tremendous profit. I haven't bothered getting the higher-leveled recipes yet, but if you can find the tomes/gems yourself, you'd be able to make a tremendous profit off anything beyond that. It seems the highest-level Emeralds even sell for more than $45 *each* in the RMAH.

They buy crafting materials for below the AH price in trade channels and then resell the crafted gems for a razor-thin profit

FairGame posted:Reading the AH thread about how people don't get how + dmg on rings/amulets/offhands work, I want to make sure I understand how it works. Yup. They're also not as good at end game because the item's max possible +dmg doesn't scale with level as quickly as actually weapon dps. i.e. if at level 1 weapons to on avg 10 dps and rings add 2-3, at level 60, with 1000 dps weapons you're expect rings to add 200-300 but they don't.

It seems the highest-level Emeralds even sell for more than $45 *each* in the RMAH. - Each perfect square gem takes 3 flawless, 3 tome of secrets, and 30,000g. - Each radiant square gem takes 3 of those (so 9 flawless gems, 9 tomes of secrets, and 90,000g) and also 6 tomes of secrets and 50,000g. - Each star gem takes 3 of the radiants, (so 27 flawless gems, 45 tomes of secrets, and 420,000g) as well as 9 tomes of secrets and 80,000g. At the moment, flawless square emeralds are 569g each, so the raw gems you use would sell for 15,363g. (I just searched for the price for 27 gems) At the moment, Tomes of secrets are 741g each, so the 54 tomes you farm/use would sell for 40,014g (I just searched for the price of 54 tomes). So you'd pay 555,377g (in gold plus the lost sales of the gems/tomes you farmed) and you'd make ~670,000 at the moment. Assuming you sell on the AH, the AH takes 15% so you end up with 569,500g. 14k profit on a 555k worth of gold and materials, plus the combine time. Plus, the time you spend farming those gems and tomes. Also, the going price for a star emerald right now on the RMAH is $1.07. (Flawless are ~$3.25, Perfect are $10.05, and Radiant $31.29). That Radiant Star Emerald used 729 dropped flawless square gems (AH value of 414,801g using my smaller search above) and 1631 tomes of secrets (AH value of 1,208,571g). Total investment (combine fees + mats farmed) = 16,608,571g for 31 real dollars.

Are there treasure classes in this game like in Diablo 2? e.g. if monsters within the same act, have different chance to drop certain affix tiers/property items. The MF guide hints at this quote:For example, if a monster has a 4% chance to drop a 6-affix rare item and you have +50% magic find, it now has a 6% chance to drop that item. and Jay Wilson does as well from the Best Buy AMA in may quote:Jay Wilson: I don’t really know how to answer the treasure class one, lots of areas have different treasure classes but we try to make areas relatively equal depending on challenge and monster level. MF is not capped, though. If this is true, then a difference would exist between farming A3 and A4?

Raising this thread from the dead... When farming for EQ, what is your typical rule for blue/gold items? Leave them on the ground, salvage them if they're over a certain level, sell if they're worth a certain amount? I have mostly been salvaging everything but for the first time I sold my mats and realized I'd have a lot more money if I sold blue items if they were worth more than ~300.

I don't pick up blues anymore, and I'm strongly considering not picking up sub-63 yellows :p Going back to town to sell something for 300-800 gold doesn't seem worth it anymore when a single white monster drops 1,000+ golds a few paces away... My question: I play a Witch Doctor and I'd like to max out my move speed. What legendary items are recommended? I have +12% move speed boots already, but what legendaries should I look for? I saw the Lacuni Bracers or something but they're rather expensive and their intelligence stat is not the greatest...

I recently bought a Sky Splitter (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/sky-splitter) from the AH and it has a 17% chance to "Smite" enemies. From what I can tell it stuns and deals damage with a lightning strike effect. My question is how is the damage dealt calculated? Any help would be appreciated.

So this is the first Blizzard game I've ever "purchased" I paid for a digital purchase using paypal but for some reason it got cancelled. I didn't know I had to activate an SMG account, I've reordered it since because my account is suspended. How long do you guys think i'm going to have to wait to play the game?

Can someone link the image explaining the issues with stats and loot in D3? I can't seem to find it with Google or image searching. Part of the picture compares how a piece of loot in D2 is usable by all classes whereas only 1 or 2 classes in D3 want a piece of loot due to stat distribution.
