For the DH's having trouble with health, try take Brooding as your passive, it heals me to full between each spawn.
(Note: I'm only using single pillars on Hell)
RE: whites vanishing - I'm not entirely sure about how it works either, but I've had it happen to me too. I THINK that white/greys have a set time duration, and afterwards they vanish once it gets "refreshed" somehow. My guess is the duration is very long, like 2-3 hours, so if you're just testing this after 30 min of afk'ing it wont work. I don't know if maybe you just need to actually DIE, or maybe just go afk in town for a few minutes.
RE: 2 towers having diminishing returns - I get 100k an hour from two towers. 50k from one. Seemed to work just fine with two, but I haven't tested 3. I've run this for 8+ hours straight and gold still drops even with item clutter, so I don't think it's a problem.
With regards to my previous post asking about spider colors, I was totally mistaken. I simply had more poison resist, so the green ones were doing way less. As most people are probably in random thorns/regen/gf gear, I HIGHLY recommend getting some easy sources of resistance if you can find it. With low amounts of res, additional res becomes quite effective. This also means stacking more int on your gem slots is good, if you can afford to cut vit. I'm not entirely sure whether they do partial phys and partial elemental damage, but they might end up just doing 100% elemental damage based on how my extra 30-40 poison res was reducing their incoming damage by like 30%.
Yeah I have to agree, I don't think there's diminishing returns on this.
1 hour worth of gold drops: 82825
2 hour worth of gold drops: 169791
(tested by just AFKing for 1-2 hours and coming back and looting all at once. These numbers also AFTER repairs.)
I've also been vendoring most of the items(untill i can find a way to reliable de spawn white items without losing everything else) and it definitely felt like I vendored at least twice as much loot on the 2 hour run.

Off of 3 towers, using 226 GF: 151k an hour average. I'll do some testing to see if I can erase white/grey items later.
If i leave i can get some of the items to disappear. It isnt all though, theres a line with like 10% left. Odd
i thought u had to move to trigger picking up gold?
I just tried this on nightmare:
2 towers
133% gold find
2 hours 40 minutes
109k gold after repairs
= 41k/hour post-repair profit for 2 towers and 133% gold find
That's consistent with the numbers others reported, and the overall figure is lower since this was just a test run with limited gold find and 2 instead of 3 towers. However, it took me like 10 tries just to get a game with 2 towers, and I actually made more looking for the damn things than I did after I found them. Still, it looks like this would be quite profitable when equipped properly for it.
just testing:
1h 20min 89k Gold + blue's (only 17% gold find) as barb with _keyspam on Hell.

Is it just me or does your character need to move to trigger the spawn of the spiders?
as auto to collect the gold?
What are you all doing to negate the DC's when you are gone too long? Im using a keyboard with macro capability and it still boots me.
So weird, I have my g110 macro to cast 432 every 30seconds and I always come back to a Disconnected screen. Its infuriating cause you see ALL those piles of gold, Literally the whole screen is just 1 gold pile.
