1.0.3 Act 3 build, DEMOLISHING everything! Seriously, Act 3 is a cakewalk now.

Barbarian and witch doctor who used to have massive dps before 1.0.3.
The fourth that time was a demon hunter.

I played with the witch doctor today in act 2 a bit. Aside from an insane champion pack it was actually doable, not bad considering the most I've spent so far is 50k for my gloves.
Playing a crit build (34% chance, 110% dmg) with Fists of Thunder and Quickening to stay alive. I need a better weapon though, only 8k dps unbuffed. Then again, I only gave 1500 for my current dagger.

Hm according to my calcs if you got a weapon with say 60% crit dmg, and a gem with 60% crit dmg, that should increase you DPS to roughly 15k. Could be totally wrong, but give it a shot, 600dps weapon like that shouldn't be tooe xpensive.

Thought this might be interesting to some people in this thread, just a little vid explaining who I am and what I'm trying to do with the healthy gamer.

Nice introduction. Being a "healthy gamer" myself I feel it's nice to see there are like minded chaps out there trying to balance gaming and not only maintaining a healthy body, but also gaining. I know a lot of people with the same mindset so here's a little something back to you, as a "thank you" for sharing: you are definitely not alone


It's actually neat how playing games and working out can go hand in hand, because gaming gives your muscles great recovery if you time it right and manage that self discipline.

That's actually a really good point will have to use it in future videos. Gaming HELPS you recover!!

I know MMOs help me lose weight for sure, sometimes I'll go 12 hours without eating when a MMO releases hahaha.

Intermittent fasting? I used to do that for a bit. Stop eating around 8pm, then have first meal at 12 noon. 16 hr fast, no calories in between. It sounds really insane and hard, but its actually very doable, and it feels great!

IF is great. You really have to go out of your way to gain fat on IF hah. Do you still do IF? Makes it so much easier on the schedule too, I really don't see how anyone has the time to eat 5-6 meals a day.

I only do fasted long runs now >2 hrs to teach my body to metabolize fat over glycogen in a depleted state. Those runs feel better then when I eat a solid breakfast. I started trail running (trying to run an Ultra-marathon soonish) a while ago, and it didn't really go with IF and when I need to eat. But it was great and easy actually!

Thanks brother Feels great to just live how you want to live.

WOW that's real mental toughness there to run an ultra marathon. Closest I've come to something like that are ruck marches in the Army, just did a 12 miler with 75lbs of total kit in 2 hours 56 minutes for our expert infantryman's badge, but that's not even like half the time you'd go for a ultra marathon. What distance are you going to start with? Ever see the David Groggins guy's videos?

Well, hopefully I'll run a 50k or 50 mile next year, that's at least 6 hours for a 50k (really depends on terrain), should be ready. Yea, Ultras are mostly about the mental aspect. Being out in the woods running/hiking, usually alone, for that long...
