I'm not guna lie. I kinda cheated my way threw act 2, skipping everything I could skip to burn threw. But once I got to Belial it set in, I'm really undergeared. I'm talking dieing to phase 1 constantly. So I started farming gold to gear myself out threw the AH, and today I spent 5 Million gold on gear, which really is not a lot considering the prices of the better gear, but I spent hours on the AH looking for upgrades.
It was really demotivating hitting a wall at Belial, but today was a good day.
My first attempt I got into phase 2 and died. My best attempt before the kill I got into phase 3 and died on the 2nd aoe phase.
Many many attempts later I joined a public group.
4 of us it in. Me, 2 DHs and a Wiz.
On our 3rd attempt we got him pretty low spaming rezes phase 3, but after that attempt the Wizard called it quits.
So me and 2 DHs on our 4th attempt.
10 seconds in the first DH dies. We keep going in phase 1.
10 more seconds the second DH dies. I keep going in phase 1.
20 seconds later the first DH to die leaves the group. I keep going, still in phase 1.
15 seconds later the 2nd DH to die leaves, I make it to phase 2.
Heart is pounding but I get threw phase 2 pretty well with no close calls thanks to revenge and my new gear.
Get into phase 3 and I'm saying to myself, does this guy have an enrage timer?
The last 2 aoe phases bring me down to a sliver of health left, and at those points my heart is litteraly beating out of my chest.
But I killed the mofo, and really not that any of you care, but I'm super happy right now, and stuned that a game can make my heart race like that.
I fuc*ing powered threw and got the sh*t done.
For the people out there thinking about buying a kill from someone, like I was, or giving up and making a DH, like I did, Dont do it! Gear up and kill sh*t. Very Very rewarding in the end!
Exactly right. I just don't understand why people would want to buy their way through the game, ignoring all the challenges. This is why you work hard to overcome them. It just feels fantastic.
Grats! Also you should check out the 1 million dollar challenge post for some cheap ways to gear up and still be buff. Personally I'm having a blast with Barb in act 2 - after a bit of gearing up I'm tanking Belial with my face while my friends are still getting 1 shot if they don't dodge one of the green things. I think if this game had DPS meters most of us Barbs would probably be on top just from the fact that we don't ever have to stop attacking when we are geared for tanking. Just wait for the repair cost hikes next patch and you'll be happy you're able to tank
