so true ! people dont understand that faster way to get items is to work irl for like 1 day earn 100-300 euros and be boss in d3
Exept most players are already working and spend their time in D3 for fun. And there's no fun in buying best gear straight away, you could hack D2 for best items, play for 1 hr and delete character couse playing him wasn't fun. Also as poster above said buying new game will give you more fun then buying stormshield for 60 euros.
Yesterday without the patch. i could farm goblins etc. with MF gear on. no problem at all.
Now i can't even kill the damn goblin (with only DMG gear no mf at all) the fucker just gets away from me.
My dmg (on demon hunter) is nerfd soooo hard that it's not viable anymore. yeah funny i can take 2 hits instead of 1 but how will that help without any dmg
Now i can go and buy new items for my character, just so blizzard will nerf those stats in another patch... I'll bet next nerf comes to crit dmg /chance
This patch is idiot and the 50% ias nerf is just way to much.
Seriously DH QQing about not being able to kill goblins (calling you on overexagerated lie), when as a tank barb you had zero chance to kill one unless he would get stuck in some corner.
WOTB (insanity rune) - as soon as you enter 3d phase use it, then use it as soon as it's of cd. Also you can dps during meteorites if you kite to then side then jump in the middle.
It's great for you no doubts, but the same can be aplied to ppls who got ahead on start and were selling 500-600 dps weapons for millions. Majority is less dedicated to game, didn't read forums to figure out exploitive ways of farming (hello Tyrael farming mobs for you, hello act 2 goblins) and fallen behind unable to get upgrades for themself and recieving loot barely worth selling.
I don't know yet if blizzard overnerfed Inferno (i was clearing act 3 without much problems prior to patch and working atm), but some fixes were waranted to give ranged characters initiative to grab survival stats and let melee to actually melee outside of defensive cds.
P.S. Think they shouldn't have nerfed things like desecration/plagued/motlen/arcane etc. becouse those are avoidable mechanics, but straight melee/ranged dmg output needed nerf to allow a wider variety of builds.
Balance is indeed horrible. Not only class balance, difficulty balance, loot progression balance, BUT most of all skill/rune balance. Seriously only dumb couldn't see how bad are one skills/runes compared to others - i've no faith in Blizz internal testers anymore, they're mentally handicaped if they didn't see how BAAAAD are tons of skills and runes for them.
P.S. I'm half way through act 4 inferno on relatively fresh barbarian so i'm not struggling or anything. I'm just surprised how fast i figured out that specific rune/skill isn't worth bothering with (1 click or tooltip for some) after all "hard work" invested into skills design.
As a fellow barb i couldn't care less, also i've no pity for all those DHs stacking IAS and skyrocketing their dps to unreasonable numbers. As someone who also plays monk, i hope mobs dmg drop will compensate monks for loosing some survivability through IAS-LOH synergy.
52K hp, 14K dps (25% more with berserker rage), 900 all res/1K fire res/1200 phys res/~10K armor, 400 LoH/20% block with sacred shield. Doing 5NV Cyadea/Asmo runs in under 1hr time, skip some retarded packs from time to time.
P.S. Damn bored of this repetive farm, especially when you aren't getting decent items in 5+ runs in a row.
Finished Act 3, half act 4 (have like 60-70 hrs on barb since rerolled from monk). Personally even though i'm not the one really strugling i think some nerfs are needed to support more balanced gearing for ranged characters, allow melee to actually melee outside of ignore pain/iron impact and give a chance to ppls stuck in Act 1 to find upgrades for proper progression.
IMO next step towards balancing would be LoH nerf to bring it more in place with HP/sec. LoH obviously should be better, but not by insane margin it is now. Generally i'm afraid that after nerf to inferno some ppls will right click elites/champions/bosses with high LoH and i consider it bad when one stat is seriously ahead of others for progression.
In ~15 5NV Cydaea/Asmo runs i managed to get great 1H crossbow that's not going to sell becouse DH's aren't fancy dualweilding (dunno why), and great 80str/160vit/77 resist all helm that went for 2.5mil in first 20 mins (guess it was cheap for such). Rest is nothing to even talk about - vendored. What's even more annying is that in past 2 weeks i got lvl 60 legendary staff and 2H sword, why wouldn't it be a stormshield.
Anyway, worst part of playing tanky barb is being unable to stack at least a bit of magic find. My monk with ~100 MF is getting rares from champions frequently, not to mention 3-4 yellows per boss. When i tried to look for MF gear for my barb it either costed A LOT, or would be straight downgrade to my defensive/offensive stats that i really need to keep killing elites.
Don't want to break your hopes, but not dodging 2 attacks in a row might get you killed in Act 3, that's why high armor/resistance and live/hit builds are dominant. And you generally ignore all things that allows monk to get high res/armor, as somebody mentioned act 1 can be done with ease, i can run it with 180 MF gear (gimped primary stats) and still walk over everything there with only 400 LoH from amulet.

P.S. If you can't live through 10 hrs of downtime you seriously need to think about consulting doctor on the matter of game addiction.
