    i just figured out that some champions seem to get the better of me and very very powerful i can take em though but it's really really tough. im asking for tips on how to farm/get better items for hell mode and above plus, should i go solo on Hell? or be with someone else?

    I enjoy both grouping and soloing in Hell.

    I noticed that when Grouping, I have to be with my partner(s) at all times, or i'm useless. I also end up changing spec until i've balanced out with what my partner is doing.

    Solo play yields you the ability to progress more, but I still find myself getting challenged almost every step of the way.

    I would say grouping for progress through Hell, and solo for gearing up and grinding content below your progression level.

    Then again, play whatever feels like fun.

    Don't be afraid to run Act 1 and bosses. Perfect your build. Change it up. Do some crazy stuff.

    I found a ring with Weapon Throw uses -2 Fury. Guess what build I started using?

    Are you level 60 yet? I'm assuming yes but just verifying. A full 5 stack of Nephalem Valor will net you two guaranteed rares from bosses.** In addition, NV at a full 5 stacks gives a bonus of 75% MF/GF. Obviously, this will help your farming.

    Re: Solo vs group play. Just remember in group play that your MF is averaged across you party and in solo play it's not PLUS you recieve 20% of your follower's MF. Of course, in some cases it's easier to progress with a party (in some cases it's not).

    Other than that it's patience. I have found 5 legendary items so far (no set items) and none of them have come from bosses - in fact one of them came from a weapon rack and one came from a barrell.

    ** NOTE: This is being changed with patch 1.0.3 - after patch is installed the guranteed rare from bosses will decrease from two to one.
