IAS nerf was the worst part & dropped my base dps from 51>38k, switching from nether to frost arrows actually feels like a dps increase though, although I use cull the weak rather than sharpshooter so it probably is lol.

Ball lightning is also a great substitute.

Did a male barbarian love and leave u and break your heart at some point japes? :p

It's widely known that barbs were under specced prior to this patch, hence the changes to bring them into parity with the others. :thumbup:

i dropped from 16k to 15k, which is fine atm. I didnt invest in ISA.

melle gets shafted once again, repair bills are massive now and on my barb after 40mins of farming my gear is all red (core of arreat) my DH is still going after 2hrs and hasn't even got yellow armor yet

obviously this is because melee gets beat on more often but they should have compensated for this!

edit (ignore durability stat looks like the new must have stat lol)

Does the 3% life steal on nether tentacles suffer the same cap in Inferno as life steal on weapons?

lol didn't even think about this...

I played a bit this morning and it didnt seem that bad. I knew they were going to nerf it a few days ago when I one shot killed an Act 2 elite while I was dead. the guy had missile dampening on and the NT hit him about 30 times.

There seems to be more changes than were documented in the changelog. eg Act 1 town is separated from the large field, the bridge acts as a doorway.

Cool, this game is officially stuffed. I wont bother playing it anymore.

My wiz went from 46DPS to 28k DPs, tried to do a Act 3 seige run and couldnt even get past non elites. Repair costs are a joke. .. But apparently Act 1 is uber easy.. whooptie.

Thanks for destroying my experience Blizzard. LOL my 970DPS Wep with 216int has dropped down to 840.

So my 6million gold is what now 300k? Gloves worth 4mil worth what 500k?

Big fuk you blizzard.

Do some real beta testing next time you make a game like this, actually complete inferno mode as part of beta testing, and you would have seen this miles away.

That was in the changelog :o

Only if they were trying to punch above their weight, which ranged classes could get away with. A well geared Monk/Barbarian was basically invincible pre-patch, it will be an absolute joke for those players now.

Shulda cashed out man on the RMAH. People were still spending $100s on IAS items up to a couple of days ago :P we all knew the nerf was coming!

They've nerfed evasive fire too. It no longer shoots over wallers walls. Probably hundreds of stealth patches (nerfs) that will be found over the next few days.

At least with the IAS nerf my DH only dropped from 58.5 -> 52.2k dps. Thankfully I've been stacking other dmg for the last few weeks (basically couldn't afford IAS gear..)

Hungering arrow can shoot around it a lot of the time, it's what I normally do

so far its costing me about 50k per hour lol insane

Not true.

And how does one become well geared without grinding it like a full time job or spending big $$ on RMAH?

The reality for the majority is that they are being brought into line with the other chars. DH's now look to not be overpowered which is good. :thumbup:
