So now I have to spend millions again to gear up for Act III? and then repeat for Act IV?
*** do I need to do? 1000K all resist, 1000K life regen, 200K DPS?! shiet is ridiculous! fuk this, I need to masturbate.

So many questions to ask... Let me start with these questions first:

1. How are you dying? Like are you getting killed by elite affixes, normals, uniques, environmental hazards, ect. When you die, is it because you got cornered, jailed on plague or desecration, or vortexed into arcane? Stuff like that. Essentially paint me a picture of how you are dying.
2. What is your playing style? Are you kiting? How are you using your skills and when? If so, how are you kiting? Are you making use of choke points and the terrain? Act 3 has tons of great terrain strategies you can use.

As for immediate suggestions, when I recommended life regeneration over LoH, I did not mean to imply that you should just forgo LoH completely. LoH is still needed to help sustain ranged DPS as you can typically gain life back with LoH much faster provided that there are enough viable targets.

Awsome, thank you for doing that, it will help newbs like me biggrin.gif

Too bad I can't trade though, it says I will be able to 3 days after I got the game, but it's been 4 and I still can't. The day after I bought it I got an email that says
Quote:
Greetings,

Thank you for purchasing Diablo III! Your payment has successfully processed and your account now has full access to all game features. You are now able to use the following without restriction:

* Auction House
* Matchmaking
* Global Play
* In-game Chat
* Friend Requests

It says "full access to all game features", I can do the things it does list, but I can't use the RMAH or directly trade so obviously it's not full access to ALL game features.



Oh well, I want to beat it on normal without any outside help first, and it's so easy I don't need better gear (so far) anyways.

I get killed mostly by elites with affixes like reflect damage and fast. My play style is kite, kiting, and more kiting and smoke screen when I get vortexed, jailed or cornered. I'm pretty sure I just need more vitality, all resist and LOH. I think I'm done trying to progress through inferno since I will have to re-gear again for Act IV and me dying a bunch of times won't help me with my anger management. I have more fun playing Act I and II and helping people get through them since I can pretty much tank.

LoH will help mitigate reflect damage. As for fast enemies, I just CC them with my Wizard using Blizzard and run in circles. They maybe fast, but if you are running in circles, they should not be able to catch up as long as you keep CC on them. I personally don't know what CC you have, but I recommend looking for skill synergies that allow you to keep enemies relatively perma-slowed or stun locked.

hey guys I came up with an idea that will fix the magic find system and all the gear switching and I thought it's brilliant.

Some called the gear switching an exploit, some think its legit, annoying but have to do it anyway because its best for both worlds.

The idea is :


GET RID OF THE ENITRE FREAKING SYSTEM!!!!



except the valor (because it's natural)




Thanks for reading tongue.gif

Alright. This is ridiculous.

I'm playing on Nightmare difficulty, and I'm escaping from Hakan II's palace, through all the imperial guards. I try to run, but there are so many that they block me in. I repeatedly spam Shadow Power (Blood Moon) while using Multishot (Fire at Will), and they still manage to kill me almost instantly provided that they have me blocked in.

Seriously, what the hell.

EDIT - The rubberbanding is annoying as hell too.

I hope you're not trying to run to the exit without stopping. Take the escape a little bit at a time and you can limit it to only fighting a 4-6 enemies at once. I'd switch multishot for elemental arrow (ball of lightning) if it's available at your level, can't remember.
