Trying to figure out exactly how much EHP I need for force armor to reduce hits to 35% from most Act 3 (inferno) monsters. I got through Act 2 stacking defensive stats, and coming into Act 3 I've realized that they're entirely useless. Even with 6.5k armor/800 resists I was getting two shot by fallen grunts. I want to see how much I can afford to give up for DPS stats before I become 100% squishy.
do you use a nice shield?(high block% and highest block amount, I believe that last kind blocks 3k-4.7k or something like that). It seems 25k dps is way too low though even if you are sitting on very high res/armor you simply need a good amount of DPS so u can clear things fast enough on act 3 I suppose.
just out of curiosity, u were getting 2 shot with that armor and those res with prismatic armor? what was your hp and damage?
ps: Im also interested in a database of monsters not only damage wise but also their hp in general and other useful things to know.
Damage an A 3 definitely qualifies as "stupid", but at least there aren't as many cheesy mechanics as A2.
So true!!
And the mob types in Act II are also far worse in my opinion.
In Act III the only really annoying and often unkillable packs for me were those tongue-spitting small twats in the Keep depths. Their 1 tongue attack almost 1 shots you and they are way too fast to kite (and there's no room to do that anyway in the keep depths...).
Those are some of my least favorite mobs in the. I'd STILL rather die to them than to Ninja Naga or those stupid fast ghouls though. At least in Hell I was often able to kill the frog f*ckers (that's what my buddies and I call them :-p) IF I could keep them mostly off screen and LOS them. If they're too much of a bitch to kill that way in Inferno, I'll probably try out mirror images.

With the orb, my DPS is REALLY poopy. I've been farming Royal Crypts a bit (go go 230% gf, 30 yard pickup and frozen storm) to save up enough gold to buy a better weapon, but I also just have very little gear with IAS or crit since I focused so heavily on resists and armor.
