zzzzz

Yeah, every single class on normal/nightmare difficulty is a snoozefest. The difficulty curve is a complete load of ass, really. Normal is so easy you can autopilot through it; nightmare requires you to be concious but not much more; hell gets tricky by act 3-4 but isn't really difficult; inferno act 1 is fun and difficult if you have terrible gear, easy with decent gear while all the other inferno acts are absolute assrape.

I dunno who the hell thought this scaling would be a good idea, especially for a storydriven game that requires you to play through all the acts many, many times. Someone at Blizz needs to be fired.

Re: Diablo 3

I love how Inferno Butcher's massive wind-up attack hits me for 13k... but an eel in the sewers in the next act hit me for 37k



It's like the Act 2+ Inferno damage numbers were determined by some designer's 4 year old son one afternoon

Yea... no.

Honestly it really is dude. All attacks in phase 3 are broadcast loud and clear and all of them 1shot you.
Dodge or die- it's 100% skillbased, you could honestly kill that part of the fight naked if you played perfectly for 60 hours straight or however long it'd take.

I kept dieing because in order to avoid a punch i had to vault to the left and immediately after he would breath and there was no way to get back to the right. Once you get lucky to avoid that situation enough times in a row you can win. The explosions all over and the dodges themselves are easy. But being in the right place for the breath each time wasn't that easy if you wanted to dodge all the punches.

If i had 50 discipline instead of 30 then maybe I could use smoke screen or more vaults and it would be easy, but i can only use like 3 defensive abilities and I'm out.

Re: Diablo 3

Just downed Belial Inferno too. Asmodan looks easier, but his act is also a mess with lol elites.

Any tips for Rakanoth in Act IV Inferno? He's probably the next brick wall.

Not sure what class you play but the fight is extraordinarily easy to cheese as a wizard.

In other news I solo'd inferno Rakanoth while half naked using a retarded Ancient Guardian build. (had to take off all my gear with life regen on it because that would have killed me lol)
Was at like 5% health the entire fight, good stuff.
If you're having trouble making it work, instead of Meteor, run Storm Armor with the Scramble rune. It will take way longer but far less chance of dying.
The last passive and skill slot can be anything because as far as I can tell they are all useless. Maybe Blizzard with Snowbound and Cold Blooded for more damage or something.

I would bet DH could do something similar with Smokescreen or Gloom, you have plenty of time to regen discipline because there's like 20 sec between attacks.
The only important thing to remember is that if he gets close to you he will summon adds, and Soul Rippers = death.
Make sure the boss is never on the screen and you're fine.
(I realize spending the entire time running around in circles half naked while never having the boss on the screen is probably not what Blizzard intended for this fight but **** it works so whatever)

Re: Diablo 3

Im stuck gobo rushing and Dank cellar farming Can't get the 3M I need for a 1K DPS weapon and I suck at figuring my resists out

[Wineandbread]

Re: Diablo 3

You don't need 3 mil for a 1K dps weapon. Maybe like 1.2k-1.4k...

I'm not really well geared enough for Act III atm and tired of farming so I went ahead and played other classes for a while

Thoughts on:

- Barb: Really fun. Leap OP huehue. Stunlocking bosses is fun in normal but I don't see it working farther down the line. At nightmare act I following khazra barricade

- Monk: Fun but a little squish early on I felt. Had trouble in normal act II against noxious guardian elites until I leveled and got serenity. Need moar dodge; only in Act II normal

- WD: idk if it's just my twink gear (not even really, just a red square gem and two yellow squares, rest was found) but I am destroying shit throughout normal, esp once I had dire bats. Had a stupid death against azmodan cause I tried to tank his balls of fire, which apparently, still a bad idea on normal. I see wall of zombies being really useful later on, and grasp of dead is also great CC. On nightmare act I after skeleton king.

- DH: I made a hardcore DH at the very beginning but never really leveled. I've only just beaten skeleton king so I'll reserve any judgements. Kind of bleh the first 10 levels though.

I don't know about inferno, but the bosses in hell are still easily stunlocked. Even moreso now that I have the frenzy rune that has a chance to stun on each hit. I actually don't use leap though. I just go for ground stomp. I built tanky as hell so I don't really worry about getting overwhelmed. With a ton of life on hit, spamming revenge, and wrath of the berzerker, it's really hard for me to die. And now that I'm stacking all resists, I can stand on arcane sentries and be fine. I'm only lvl56 and close to belial so maybe things change, but that's what I've seen so far.

Re: Diablo 3

You can get a 950-1000 dps weapon for 300k if you settle for a blue. Its enough to get by, but isn't optimal.

you need to be in all purples, all the time

Re: Diablo 3

Well then WTB 950-1000 DPS wep for anything under 1.1M... Cause 1.1M is the cheapest I can find for a 950 magic...

Re: Diablo 3

search with 200k max buyout or something and sort by DPS :P
