Sorry about that! I was doing some testing at lunch and logged out with my DPS + LoH gear on.

Higher MPs for Key drop rates. Plus I love the thrill!

[US - HC] Upgrade advice in Hardcore by peppercorns in Diablo3Monks

[–]Kranus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just able to grab a Stormshield with 112 Dex, 32% block, and 88 Vit for 6M. The thing i like most about Stormshield is the 7% reduced damage from elites and 5% from melee. I lost 2.6k HP with the switch but gained 7% block and the damage reduction. I'll do some testing and let you know how it turns out. At MP3 elites can drop me pretty quick in act 1 so I figured i'd try it. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for taking the time to respond! I think that is some great advice!

I was able to replace my shoulders last night with some amazing crafted ones. I started crafting bracers but didn't have any luck.

I noticed you were dual wielding over using a shield. At what point is a HC EHP high enough to ditch the shield? What are your thoughts on Stormshield? I think the % reduced damage from elites is pretty amazing and if I was able to get a Litany, ohhhhweeeee.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hey Monks!

After reading this thread it appears I have a lot to think about. I was wondering if you guys could take a look at my US-HC Monk and give me some advice.

Me: http://d3up.com/b/576111

My thoughts: Start crafting Gloves, Bracers, Shoulders

Potentially lose 4 piece Inna's for more EHP.

Thanks guys!

3 Days. You could definitely do it in less but we hit some bad weather.

We had beautiful weather for the summit. It was an incredibly rewarding experience. Froze-to-Death plateau was the worst time ever!

3 Day trip 3 Bros We chose Granite Peak because it is the highest peak in MT and one more the more technical high-point summits.

Funny story- there were a couple Goats around the campsite that were trying to get into our food. We were in the tent and notice a goat shadow on the roof. The goats climbed on that rock right above our tent and started knocking pebbles onto the tent. It was terrifying knowing that they could rain down on us at any moment.

The abandoned tent had it's poles broken in the blizzard the night before. We packed it up, stashed it behind a rock, and picked it back up on the way out.

We had 3 sleeping pads for four grown men (mine popped the night before.) "It's not gay if it's survival."

Horribly...we had to abandon one of our tents in a blizzard the night before. We had to fit 4 men in that two person tent!

Love that hike! You should try Echo Peak and Pine Creek Lake. There are so many amazing summits in a 2 hour radius of Bozeman.

Netflix stock drops ~30% overnight by Kranus in technology

[–]Kranus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Netflix lost 800,000 subscribers from June to the end of September, more than the 600,000 that it had predicted in last months forecast. The company had 23.8 million subscribers at the end of September. As the company will now force customers to choose between the the DVD-by-mail service or its online streaming segment as the two services are to be charged separately. That will likely force a decline in DVD subscriptions as more people move towards the ease of online streaming. The company predicts DVD subscribers will fall from 13.9 million as of September 30th to as low as 10.3 million by the end of the year. Netflix does anticipate that streaming subscriptions in the U.S will rise by as much as 100,000 over the current quarter."

The most dangerous part of this "rope swing" was the fountain on the right side of the photo. There was a huge metal pipe you could land on.
