That was not including sockets. So while the max could be a little higher I am sure there was at least one item with 278 vit. <br /><br />Act 1 is pretty much completely trivial with my gear now. I've spent a lot of money on some slots (my hat is insanely good and I think I spent around a million on it, will check when I get home from work) but I still die a fair bit in Act 2. I think that's because of my mere 16k health and I intend on investing as much as it takes into an item with vit soon. <br /><br />I played a bit in Act 3 with Tom and Sky last night and force armor was proccing on basically every attack. Some guys were killing me in one hit through diamond skin!Ziggynyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518980519046202646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20397621.post-69800756224450652842012-06-11T09:46:14.823-04:002012-06-11T09:46:14.823-04:00278 vit?

I've never seen an item with a stat that big... is this including gem slots?<br /><br />For Act 1 Inferno I think you should be looking at switching to prismatic and gearing accordingly (which just makes resist better). I didn't spend more than around 150k on any piece of gear I have (I paid 300k for one very recently, but it wasn't even much better), and act 1 inferno is not a threat to me at all anymore with just one defensive ability on my bar. I know you are using a two-hander instead of a shield but I don't think that *that* much of a difference (the armor from my shield is reducing damage I take by around 12% - kind of a big deal but it wouldn't make that much of a difference from where I am right now).<br /><br />Even in act 2 the only things that would be triggering force armor are the thrown bombs from the lacuni (the base damage on those appears to be around 140k).Sthennohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429676469805661834noreply@blogger.com
