@Cloudenvy: According to Blizzard, that's just a rumor. All compromises so far have been by traditional means (phishing, trojans, using passwords on other sites that have been compromised, in addition to not using a mobile/keyring authenticator)

Random players appearing on players with comrpomised accounts are most likely the characters that said loot was transferred to.

If there was a correlation between public games and players getting hacked, Blizzard would very likely have disabled public games.

Been using the Intro-song to Katamari Damacy for a couple of years, suits me well. Starts out quiet and then escalates. (also, that sountrack is pretty good, lots of unique sounds).

For notifications, I use the Fez opening chime... though it's a lot louder than I expected.

@Humpchies: They do some Steamguard-similar stuff, actually. But a lot of it is connected to the Authenticator-model of security, which works better anyway (and according to Blizzard, there are no reports of accounts with attached Authenticators being compromised so far...)

I suppose you don't have access to any iOS, Android, Blackberry or Zune device? There are mobile authenticators for all of those. I wouldn't use the "desktop authenticator" linked around here, though... as it kind of defeats the point.

@ryanrulez: Yen (JPY) is Japanese currency. Yuan (CNY) is Chinese currency.

800 CNY is about 125 USD.

800 JPY is about 10 USD.

60 Monk, farming Act 1 inferno for gold for Auction House trawling:

Currently at 11k DPS, 5.6k Armor, 34k hp, 301 resistance (to all). About 40% dodge (with Mantra of Evasion, without the 3 sec buff).

Downside to using "One with everything" is that you are using a passive to replace a stat you could have on gear. The positive thing is that you have access to a lot cheaper gear (as there is only a subset of people interested in single-resistance gear). I expect I'll be able to hit about 400-500 resistance to all easily.. which is bound to keep punishing my DPS, but I'm still dying a bit too quickly to be comfortable.

If I stick with Diablo for the "Long run" (which I doubt I will), to build a "perfect character build", I'd eventually transition away from One with Everything and get "resistance ot all" on gear, I guess.

What's your dex at?

Just over 1300, currently.

@svxtc: Here's what you need to know (Blizzard's site about what to do, if you find your account compromised):

US: http://us.battle.net/en/security/help

EU: http://eu.battle.net/en/security/help

And, to make it less likely for it to happen again, if you have a smartphone (iOS, Android, Blackberry, Zune), you may want to consider picking up either:

US: https://us.battle.net/account/support/mobile-auth-download.html

EU: https://eu.battle.net/account/support/mobile-auth-download.html

(I think it's the same links, but included both to make sure)

There's also a keyring-authenticator available from Blizzard's store, if you don't have a smartphone:

US: http://us.blizzard.com/store/search.xml?q=authenticator

EU: http://eu.blizzard.com/store/search.xml?q=authenticator

Hope that helps!

1. Leoric's Crown (level 22?), on my first playthrough (normal). Lots of strength, might use it when I play a Barbarian.

Then I found a Lidless Wall with fairly decent stats for a monk late in Act 4 Hell (I think?), which has served me well for a while now.

@Xeirus: I agreed through most of the game, but when I got to Inferno, I needed another heal (cooldowns felt too long) and being invulnerable for a couple of seconds gives you a great opportunity to stop worrying about dying for a few seconds and just try to get in as much damage as possible in those precious 3 seconds.

Also, at 10 spirit, Serenity is practically free to use, making it an excellent "oh shit" button to hit when your health starts plummeting.

re:Mantras... I swore by Mantra of Healing from normal through hell, used it on Diablo-Hell, even. I moved over because it feels like evasion will be the way to go in the long-run.

But, like I said, I'm just setting foot into Inferno, I'm hardly an authority on monks. (and your needs for Nightmare and Hell is very different from what you need to do in Inferno).

@Xeirus: I'm playing a 60 monk, working my way through Inferno.

For Nightmare, I can really only suggest that you keep playing around with your skills and trying out different abilities. If you are struggling, you should focus on more defensive abilities... though I think that a more offensive build is significantly more efficient at the level you are at.

Really, the best thing you can do is just swapping around abilities and finding what you like (but still keep swapping things out every now and then).

At 60 I'm currently running a very defensive build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#WiXgYh!YXZ!ZZZaaa though with the problems I'm currently having, I'm not sure if I can recommend it (probably just need to get better gear)... and besides, you sholuldn't need to be that defensive at your level.

Anyway, there are some other fan sites (Diablo Fans, part of the curse network, I think?) where I found some pretty good forum posts about advice for Inferno builds.
