Nice items!

Had a breakthrough by finding a rare axe (440 DPS) and was able to kill Hell Diablo with my Monk last night! My DPS is only ~7,500 and HP ~20,000...didn't think that would be enough but it was. Then I tried Act I Inferno and I don't last a minute with champion or elite monsters, so it's back to farming Act IV Hell for a while, LOL.

To stay on topic, I found a 2 handed staff last night in Hell with 867 DPS, but it's not really useful to me.

You might reconsider that, Helx. I was in the same exact situation as you; I beat Hell Diablo with my Monk that was using some ~400 weapon, but when I stepped into Inferno I got stomped by the first champ pack I met. Through running Hell a few times I netted myself a 809 DPS staff with something like +194 Dex, easily the highest damage weapon I'd found by that point. I thought it neat, but I didn't bother putting it on. "Double the damage, but waaaaay too slow!" I said to myself.

Soon after I ran into Pijus online and showed him the staff. He asked me if I'd tried using it in Inferno yet, to which I said no. Through his coaxing and curiosity as to how well it might work, I gave it a go. Surprisingly, it... actually worked. It wasn't ideal, surely, but it gave me the ability to actually kill stuff. ...Yeah, I died against some of the easier packs, and the mobs with really nasty mods were still super scary, but with that staff I was able to go through the crypts kill the skeleton king.

Running Act IV Hell can get you some gear, I admit. But for me, the tease of ilvl63 gear from Inferno was too great. I'd rather struggle in Inferno instead of doing easier runs in Hell and miss out on the top tier stuff.

Been a while since the last update - hadn't made a lot of weapon progress, but this weekend was decent.

Barb:

Actually a better weapon for her DPS-wise than that Demolisher, with the +str and crit bonus. The +int amounts to +10 all res too.

Wizard:

The wand offers her less DPS than that demolisher, but you can see why I opted to use it anyway. The Demi-Lich probably needs no explanation. Just wish I could find a nice rare one.

Picked the game up again, and made it to A4 Hell with some junk 200 DPS bow. Needless to say, this [still mediocre] drop from Diablo was... welcome, to say the least.

Kind of tempted to make a separate character that abuses AH for gear, just to see the difference.

I just finished act 3/hell. Found this mighty weapon with my barbarian just before I got into Arreat Crater.

It replaced my not-so-mighty 249 dps blue dagger. I dont have picture of it. You should ask Headrig why.

Found this towards the end of Act3 hell. A major overhaul of my skills and this weapon allowed me to cruise through Act4 hell with hardly an issue. Going to do some Hell Pony runs now and see what that is like. Figure I'll need something with a bit more damage before Inferno, but this has been sweet so far.

Nabbed myself the highest DPS weapon I've found thus far.

Even with a 5k DPS increase, it's still not really that good. The item I've got equipped is still the best weapon I've found for my Monk, and that was well over a month ago (minus the two weeks where my computer was down and out, thus no time to find an upgrade when I couldn't play).

Edit: Well. I stand corrected.

It's not epic, but it's a 33% damage increase as a straight swap (12.6k ==> 16.8k). It's also my sole source of free spirit regeneration, so I'm pretty happy. The hit to my life pool, though, is a little too much for me to give up so easily, so I've had to drop to 15.5k damage in order to maintain about 28k life. Still, I'm feeling like I'm edging a little closer to Act II Inferno thanks to this little baby.

I found a pretty nice beatstick for a caster last week; I put in the IFT with some other stuff, but I guess it can go here too since it makes the most DPS for a Wiz or WD out of anything I've found.

Spoiler

And once I get my new WD past Hell, I'll let her use it. The Wiz does OK with her previously posted desolator wand. The WD is gonna need something that can crank out the DPS. I also have a blue mojo with, like, +100-340 damage and +100 mana for her to use.

I've got this stashed for a future Monk. Found it a few days ago before starting up the WD.

Spoiler

The main concern I've had with starting up Monk and WD is competition for drops with DH and Wiz. But I've gathered up what appears to be at least a decent Inferno starter set for a WD, so I went ahead. (I also just want the stuff outta my stash). I've also got an OK shield set aside for Future Monk, but aside from that, all the dex/vit/ares armor drops I've been finding have been going onto my DH.

Wow, last night while farming Act I Inferno (cathedral) I popped a chest and out came a blue Grim Heaven Hand of Death monk fist weapon with 999.6 DPS!!!!! Bumped my monk's DPS to ~20,000 and I think will help me move into Act II!! Didn't get to play with it too much but I was able to take care of elites without breaking too much of a sweat! Will post a screenshot this evening...

[OldSoldier]

I think my best weapon is something around 250 DPS. Guess I'm a bit behind you guys...
