Official Diablo 3 thread

so I'm reading blizz forum and basically I ran that monk for nothing and that there's almost no way I go through inferno solo

I dont get it, were you EXPECTING to be able to go through inferno solo easily?

inferno isnt supposed to be fun for any class, its a fukkin grind where you are supposed to die 500 times in half an act and spend shiitload of money on repairs until you farm the right gear.

fun, challenging game ends after hell...at the very most act 1 inferno

after that...its a grind

belial (and most bosses) aint really hard on the first two levels. you just gotta figure out what they do so u can counter it.
I cant vouch for other classes, but if you play witch doctor or demon hunter the last phase where belial starts nuking everythin...when he starts doing that...like couple of seconds in turn on spirit walk (witch doctor) or smokescreen (demon hunter) and collect health globes. otherwise run around shooting him

Thats EXACTLY what I do and spirit walk doesn't last long enough. Every time he does those acid pools, I do spirit walk and it seems like his acid pools just last longer. Soon as spirit walk ends I die, full health and all

 

[Fury616]

yea, at least most of it. I dont get people who just rush the main quest...cuz best loot drops from elite packs, not bosses. and elite packs can be anywhere

I end up leaving most games I join cuz mufukkas just rush straight to the objective. I'm just like why the fukk are you playing this game if you just gonna breeze thru and not enjoy it.

The problem though is that inferno is more broken than challenging. As it stands most of the time you will be running from everything as elites are harder to beat than bosses. As someone who plays as a demon hunter I'm not too upset about the nerf to SS as I feel like we can still play the run away game pretty fine. But I still feel for monks and barbs as they have to get close to be effective and that's just asking to die against some enemies.

have you played monk ?

if not you can't really understand how flawed the character is

I'm supposed to go melee with elites who can one shot me in order to build up my spirit ? All that's really left is tanking while using 4 defensive/healing skills and taking forever to kill anything

your vitality was 520 at level 58 in hell ?
I have more vit right now at 46 or whatever the fukk I am

Whats 520 to a nikka like me, could u please remind me...

I never build up my Vitality. Not when I got Diamond skin and Energy armor on deck.

Get in, do as much damage as possible, kite, get out.

My Disintegrate is giving me 10k+ DPS

ok I guess u have a point. I usually dont play melee classes, they get boring to me quick. I guess kiting with monk is really hard.

hmmm do spirit walk a bit after acid pools start.

also make sure you got skills that leech life.

I beat him with this build on nightmare (had zero problems on normal):
Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III

A monk's base Spirit Regen is Zero. In order to gain spirit one must engage monsters in melee combat. Unfortunately melee combat is essentially not an option when facing Hell/Inferno Elites due to insta-death. The result is that every monk must take Serenity which provides a 3 second window to enter melee and regenerate a small amount of spirit. After 3 seconds the Monk can perhaps activate one combat ability with the spirit gained, and then retreat. He then runs around for 20 seconds with no spirit and no defenses, trying to sneak in a hit or two on a mob to regen enough spirit for another Serenity. If the fight is too difficult or the Elite too tough, the monk will be left absolutely incapable of regenerating any spirit, therefore unable to do anything at all. This is how much of a monk's time is spent: running around with depleted resources, unable to regenerate them, and absolutely useless to the team.

pretty much sums up playing a monk. Imma try to force myself and finish the game with a gang of people if necessary but reading those threads on blizz forums from peeps who have 10x my experience in these kind of games discourages me a bit

nah, all them cats on the blizz forums only complain instead of finding new ways to beat the game.

aight....guess I gotta do some more grinding cuz I don't have leech life.

that's not my impression.. and some of them are very far into the game

I find them very proactive in their complains. They're suggesting many reasonable fixes that could get implemented
