Diablo 3 General/Gameplay Discussion

[hotsuma]

end game is like 2 eliete packs at the same time lol had that in act one inf last night, luckly it was not act 2 haha . they really need to be more snarable the process currently seems to be someone runs away and the other people dps the elietes running after him, frost nova seems to hold them up for about 1 second, on bosses that is fine but when its the only thing stoping them from stomping my ass into the ground other than my health its a bit weak. also i have decent run speed increase be nice if i moved slightly faster than they did we seem to run about the same speed so getting some distance to stop and do some damage is not really possible.

luckly i have enough health \ resist (and im getting 3k health back ticks while i dps) i can usually tank them a bit then run away and health pot back up but dont really think that should be the only option for a mage.

I've died more in 30 mins than the previous 150 hours

You wait till you hit one of those Fast, Vampiric, Fire Chains, Frozen, Molten, Arcane Enchanted, Desecrator, Plagued, Electrified, Knockback, Mortar, Nightmarish, Telporter, Vortex, Waller, Illusionist, Jailer mobs with the Invulnerable Minions! You will know which side your bread is buttered!

Or you are kiting one pack and accidentally run straight into another pack on the other side lol

I am glad it's not only me

yeah , in some cases thats like game over depending on the combination
especially if they get brought to where you spawn, its like die , spawn , die , spawn , die , leave game count down 10, 9, 8, die , etc lol

Inferno is meant to be difficult, all they need to do is rebalance it so you can mitigate damage and do some decent damage as well. You still need to kite, but not kite around the entire map for instance.

It's stupid stuff that they gotta get rid of. People are complaining cause they just wanna hack n slash, i don't think inferno should be like that. I'm comfortable with how it is except for the lack of balance with elite packs and the fact that my spec has to be 99% survivability so my damage isn't as good as i would like it to be.

they're the only real issues + decent gear is sh1t to find

Could we be talking about Molten, Minion, Extra Helth, Desecrator, Immune, Reflects Damage??

I am 3/4 through act 3, Bridge crossing and managed to get a ways through it with my "tank" Wiz and a cpl others.. but as you say some elites we had to kite away to a "safe" area and then tele onto someone in a "safe zone".. The bridge is fairly kite friendly but you have to run back a heck of the way to get clear of the ones that you just cant beat.. Funny thing is, Act 3 is costing me a lot in repairs and pots :P So have to go back to act 1/2 to farm some items/gold hehe

[Acesi7]

lol, it's so true.

Wizard here and least fav...

Reflects Damage, Mortar, Vortex, Fast, Invulnerable Minions

Seriously, Die for hours on end...

Try kiting, enrage timers...

Getting better at it though, increased attack speed helps with short quick shots on them...

[PsychoSmiley]

Fast, vortex, molten, mortar. I can't stand this currently as I can't get a handle on the situation. Can't engage close, can't engage ranged.

Vortex, Molten, and lasers are what mess with me, sometimes mortars as well.

I can handle desecrator and plagued, i tnak through plagued and desecrator i just sit in a corner so they can't get to me and tank them there. but when they vortex me around and have lasers waiting for me it is frustrating! Doable though.

Only thing that i can't beat are mortars. Sometimes even when im right next to them they just all hit me it is so annoyingly bugged and does my head in but whatever. that's it though! I manage with the rest!

Figure out what skills you can use to kill them

I'm running a basic build which i dont think is suitable for inferno, but it has worked for me so far up until this point.

Dont really want to spec to cookie cutter, so perserveering.

Or you get 2 walls sandwiching you in, can't move at all, and you see multiple lasers pop up around you lol

I like that they say what attributes teh mob has when you curser over them. This helps with strategy before you realise they've blasted you.

Not as easy when your mouse cursor is on the other side of the screen because you're trying to run away from impending doom lol
