30% less damage taken seems like a big help


and how much armor you running?

6300 it looks like + impunity...

well, now that "he who should not be named" is fired... i might have to patch up the game and maybe try to remember my password for this once great franchise of a game

if you think this one person being no longer involved in the game is going to change it enough to make it enjoyable enough to play tomorrow IF you disliked it yesterday.... I wouldn't waste time and HDD space putting it back on.

A new game director potentially means a new direction for design philosophies. Hopefully someone who enjoyed D2 will actually be fingered this time, instead of someone whose only experience in game designs was for RTS. I am really hoping the new game director starts the process of bringing back some real depth and more RPG elements back to the franchise. They need to bring back Cain as well, even if it is zombie Cain to ID all our loot. I am freaking tired of right clicking over and over.

so before blizz goes for a nerf they just say its a bug and that they are fixing it?

the reason people are "face tanking" is because they are doing 200k+ dps, which was VERY rare when the game first came out. Therefore, with life steal, life regens so quickly with AoE and consistent dps that you don't need those numbers.

mp10 fallen maniac says otherwise

Nukes... hate them...

...they are designed for that purpose.... to explode. so that is not a very good argument... plus, if you get in a large enough mob that isnt maniacs, its not hard to survive a few of them blowing up around you.

i was referring to normal monsters that dont kamikaze. the OP was stating that pre patches, the original inferno required all that resist and armor, which obviously wouldnt hurt, but I was explaining that now days you dont need that much because high dps + life steal works for normal monsters. maniacs, if you consistently die by them... then you are just not good at the game. They are designed to kamikaze and one shot you, so, you trigger them to explode, then manuever out of the way, or you have them in a large enough mob so your AoE life regen will be enough to keep you alive i they explode around you.
