    posted a message on Solo Inferno Belial, Starting Act 3
    It's funny, I was saying the same thing a few days back. "Inferno past act 2 is stupid, things just hit way too hard. I can die with ignore pain and WotB up, wtf? You have to play tank, it's dumb having to kite stuff as melee. Why can wizards/dh do act 3/4 in crappier gear?"

    Actually, I just found my post from 3 pages back on questioning if Act 2 was even possible. http://www.diablofans.com/topic/42963-is-it-possible-to-solo-act-2-inferno/

    In fact, a few days ago some guy posted that he could solo Act 2 inferno with relative ease and I called bullshit on his claim.

    Can you show your gear ? Looks pretty good to me


    Is there an easier way than taking screenshots of all my items? Add me on friends (Warguyver#1300)

    No, I just found 2 socketed legs with 141 vit, 41 all resist and some life regen helping a friend do act 2. I've found boots/bracers previously with similar stats. I've also found 800 dps one handers from act 1. There's no extreme luck involved; the fact that I found almost half my gear in under a week of farming inferno and can almost complete it is proof of that.

    Not really, act 2 stuff can roll 40-50 all resist. 1handed weapons can roll 900+ dps with life on hit. You can literally go through Act 2 inferno by farming act 2 inferno slowly. AH simply speeds it up.

    I'm still trying to decide between Leap and WotB. Leap is amazing due to the 300% armor bonus for 4 seconds on a 10 second cooldown. The landing snare also helps deal with ranged mobs that like to run away from you. On the other hand, WotB is equally amazing at dealing with nightmarish/frozen+waller packs giving you 15s of double damage and inability to be CC'd.

    My barb is currently at 50k hp, 1000 phys, 950 fire, 800 resist for rest. 9.2k armor, 12000 damage, about 900 life on hit.
    I've probably spent under 6 mil in total buying gear.

    I can solo Inferno Belial (and the rest of Act 2) with ease. In fact, Belial is easy enough you can practically beat him using nothing but frenzy and revenge.

    Just like the rest of you, I thought inferno may have been over tuned for melee but I must say, I really do feel like blizzard hit the sweet spot with the difficulty. Inferno has been challenging enough that I've asked myself, many times, if it was actually possible, and it turns out that it is.

    Just managed to get a half decent clear of the first part of act II today. I've never played anything but solo barb. While I agree with you guys that the game is heavily biased against melee I think the tuning difficulty is'nt actually too far off. I've got optimium rare lvl60 act I gear in about 90% slots and I can now *just* clear act II. It seems that they have the tuning set exactly right for barb. In that you need 90% of the current act gear in every slot to take on the next act. The problem is that kiting as ranged means you don't have to have that almost perfect gear if you never get hit by anything.

    Biggest advice I can give other barbs trying to solo at the moment is to stop stacking vit. This isn't wow and we don't need huge health pools to suck up massive burst so our healers can keep us up. You need to mitigate incoming damage and spread out your mit through equal amounts of armor/resist all/dodge as to make the best of the curve. Also, make sure your using the enchantress, shes by far the best follower imo. Armor buff is huge and her occasional CC is life saving. That and mine does about 2.5k dps.

    I run a 2h Barb, and I have no problem with Act 2 Inferno (with the exception of Belial). You do not need to be super tanky to be a Barb in Inferno, and I have never used a 1h and shield in Inferno while solo. In some ways the best defense is a good offense.

    Calling BS, there's way you have no problem with Act 2 inferno. Belial is actually pretty easy for barb as long as you have a good strat for second phase.

    I find it really really hard to believe that so many of you say you have act 1 on farm.
    Judging from what I read here my gear is better than most of yours (50k hp, 70% dr and 13K dps, etc...) and I still die a fuckload.
    Sure I've killed SK with 5 stacks up but to call it "farm" .. nah far from

    Then you suck. Inferno act 1 is a joke; I just timed my last run. From start to SK kill --> 28 minutes. SK --> Arach 36 minutes. Arach --> Butcher 42 minutes. Died twice to fiery chains + molten pack, rest was a breeze.

    I honestly don't think it's possible for a barb to solo Act 2 or 3 Inferno. I can die to normal packs with ignore pain and 60% dodge wrath of berserker up. I'm not sure gear can even help with this one.

    Just tested act 3 in my full tank gear (63k hp, 7000ish armor, 55% physical reduction, 35% dodge) and I died in 2 hits from a random white dog.

    You can't afford to switch specs thanks to Nephalem's Valor. Can you farm Act 2 with your setup? (eg. Kill 5 elite packs --> kill story boss consistently)?

    You're suggesting kiting with hammer of ancients? Hmm, I haven't thought of that yet; I will definitely try it out. Thank you for your input.

    Serious response please. Act 1 inferno is pretty east to farm; Act 2 feels impossible.

    I'm pretty damn farmed in my full tank gear (60kish hp, 50% resistance to physical, 41%~ resistance to all elements, 30% dodge, and 9.5k damage).

    I can die to normal packs with ignore pain up.

    Someone teach me how I'm supposed to solo act 2 please.

    Farming gear: 15000~ damage with battle rage, 45k hp, 5600 armor, 25% dodge with dodge warcry.
    Using an 820ish damage 2h weapon with 2.5% life leech (15% mf)


    http://us.battle.net...VRQik!bXd!Ycbca

    Max self healing build, took inspiring presence because sometimes you have to kite until your ignore pain is back up.

    I can solo SK --> butcher runs in about 2 hours as long as I don't get retarded rare spawns.
    Act 1, all in all, is pretty easy now.

    Act 2 however, someone please tell me how you're supposed to solo this.

    Can solo Inferno right now at ~13000 damage, 45k hp, 5.5k armor, 35% dodge. I can farm everything up until butcher. Barbs feel pretty good right now actually.
