This forum is bugging out, won't let me post the links, says I need to post atleast 10 post in the community, I think I've surpassed that so I guess Ill do that manually...
I look at your stats and your gear, and I can't fathom how you do it.
If you have vids or streams of your play on your DH please link them.
But my question is, with your build and gear, how do you have all the content completed, I just don't see how you can live through some of the damage to be able to progress. Less than 10k health in act's 3/4 is crazy with absolutely NO RESIST gear?
How you deal with the invisible mobs and come out of nowhere, or some of the affixes that don't allow you to just out run or blow them up because they are either shielded or too fast.
Please elaborate, or others that have simular stats and build
I disagree. Load up The Black Soulstone. Take the waypoint to Zultan and hit up his chambers. You can usually get 5 stacks between the 2 chambers unless you get the rare pack of baneling guys. Kill Zultan after the 5-stack, tp back to town and start the quest for Belial (go to the bazaar to start the event) and then tp back to town again.
From here you can take any waypoint you choose. Ancient paths has a chance to get a goblin, road to alcarnas, sewers, all have rare packs in them. Farm packs until you're blue in the face and tp back to town to kill Belial. He always has a rare pack right before his entrance too.
I would like Act 1 slightly better if you were given Halls of Agony level 3 but I guess that would be too easy. However, the drops are simply better in Act 2 if you have the gear.
I dunno. I see this run and I counter you with:
Quest 9 (enter the cursed hold).
Clear out weeping hollow. (4-6 elites and a goblin)
3 crypts (up to 6 elites and 3 goblins).
Festering woods (4 elites, 2 dungeons 2 elites, random event 1 elite and a goblin)
Fields of Misery (only if you get the mine or the scavenger's den) - 4 elites each and a possible goblin
southern highlands : 4 elites, up to 2 dungeons (up to 10 elites!), and 2 goblins
northern highlands : 2 elites and a dungeon (up to 4 elites) and a goblin
leoric's manor (1 elite, possible 1 inside)
HoA: maybe 10 elites? - 2 goblins
Cursed halls: 2-3 elites, and a boss and maybe a goblin
Butcher
Maybe even finish off with cathedral 1-4 (around 10 more elites and up to 3 goblins)
I think it might come down to a time/efficiency (and boredom) thing. Act 1 sucks cuz it's so boring and near impossible to die when you overgear it. Act 2 sucks cuz, well, it sucks. Too many ninja mobs. And those act 2 dungeons are miserable.
Its not fair, I bust my tail farming Inferno A1, and I've maxed at 500,000 gold, but yet and still I'm seeing upgrades for me (bows) for 45,000,000 gold, I mean that's crazy how in the hell are there so many people with that much gold in this game already?
I've heard "luck of drops" but what are you guys looking for to know what items will actually sell for Millions of gold, I found a set piece last week, that I put up 4 times, first 2 million, then 1million 2 times, and then it got snatched up for 500,000 (I was broke) but still, that's a set piece and I just got 500,000 for it.
EDIT: I don't get your fan of knives argument. You waste an entire smoke screen to run to them and run all the way back?
Instead get a ranged slow like Entangling Shot or Elemental Arrow with Frost Arrow, that way you can slow them for range and not waste ~5 seconds running to them and then running back. Just slow them from range, and kite. If they jail or other nasty things that's where you use your smoke screen, IMO.
I don't use that strategy unless I have the Discipline to waste. Like I said, when elites are chasing me I use Fan of Knives to damage them, Slow them, and give me more breathing room. You will quite often find yourself in close proximity to multiple enemies, especially when playing alone. Being able to do 320% damage to all enemies within a 20 yard radius every 10 seconds is a blessing.
It's a beautiful fucking skill. I know that you disagree, but it really does work for me. Like I mentioned earlier, it has saved my life thousands of times.
There is a lot of synergy between FoN, Smoke Screen, and Tactical Advantage. You don't have to run through them to cast it. You could very easily SS/FoN/Run away just the same. The only reason I would ever run to an enemy with SS is I am out of kiting space and have to kite the way I came.
Might be a little off topic, but Leirissa, do you do streams, I'd just like to see if/how you manage to run in Acts 3/4 with only 9k HP, yeah damage is nice, but I can imagine, with an Immune fast pack, you are resetting the game right?
plenty of champion/rare packs out there so i just skip them. They dont drop better loot so why going through all the hazzle trying to kill a pack that is 10 times as tough as any other pack.
When I get these 2 affixes together, I'm SOL, I don't care what other type of affixes they have, but those 2 kill me, this is the spec I use, that works good for me on bosses, and kiting. Post 1.0.3
Now 2 abilities I might be able to drop:
Spike Traps, works perfectly for kiting non-invulnerable mobs, if you don't have to kite, between dropping traps and Devouring Arrow, mobs wont get to me.
The Shadow Power, I basically only use with the Reflect damage affixes.
If someone suggest to use Tortured Ground rune with Caltrops over Jagged spikes, the stun still isn't enough for the Fast Affix.
Maybe I'm just Google stupid, but when I saw these videos I wondered the same thing myself. I found no such way to override the in game cursor in such a manner.
Yeah, interesting change for melee, but I don't see the point in making the Mortors harder for range, the game is hard enough and as a ranged, mortors is what I hate the most besides the combination of speed and immune.

So what do you guys do and suggest??

Also is this ability viable against Immune champ packs, would an immune mob detinate the trap or just pass over it?
If it isn't viable, what do you Spike Trap users use to get around this issue, without changing and losing your NV Stacks?
Thanks in advance guys/gals
