ok

just tried going to Act 2 solo for the first time

did NOT go well at all

after dying 10 times, I finally managed to get 5 stacks on myself

and then the 6th elite pack is the big underground lizard thingy with reflect damage.....

since they underground plus i take hits for nothing, I need to take my time

and then something i've never seen before popped up

yes, the enrage timer

so now I REALLY take damage for nothing

after dying about 7 extra times to this pack I quited

all I got from those previous packs were 1 rare and a bunch of blues, couldn't even kill this 6th pack to secure my 2nd rare

how lame is that

why nothing for the most awesome class?
have you looked into the 'budget barb' build? it's a low dps, high armor/res + LoH build for under 1mill (total equipment) that can be used to clear out Inferno act1-4 (solo) a d3 streamer has done it for ~500k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YZd680H5EE&feature=plcp is the gear used.

I've hit my wall in Act 2 inferno. Can't last more than a few minutes in the desert. This is my setup:




Any suggestions? I'm assuming I need higher resists and more LoH, but I'm a noob at D3.

Search the AH for: All resist @ 50, Str @ 50, Vit @ 50 for all your armor..you need a lot more AR. Your helmet should always have an Amethyst in it for life %. I don't play anymore but my barb soloed Inferno Diablo ez mode before selling all my gear.

I agree with the above post. You are missing a lot of VIT on your pants, bracers, shield, and ammy. The ammy is nice because it has LOH, and a lot of STR though. I would try to find a chest with some all resists, STR and VIT, and hopefully a couple sockets. Also, the weapon. Looks like you are a bit of a tanky spec - I would sacrifice some damage on that weapon for some LOH/VIT. Even drop to ~750dps if you have to. It looks like your resists are all being buffed by your shout too - and those are definitely way too low for inferno A2 and beyond. Barb seems to be a more expensive character to deck out =(

'melee attackers take xxx dmg per hit' has got to be the most useless stat in inferno. Especially glass cannon DH's. Just sayin'

as a ranged class, of course.. you don't want to be hit at all. I don't know about monks, but barbs have a skill for +50% thorns, which can add up to well over 1500dps/guy attacking. Not useless as a bonus stat on similar priced/statted items. also, wd's pets get it, with proper passive, so @1000/hit x 5pets x # of enemies attacking them.. it can add up.
I can't be for sure, but if illusion's attacks trigger thorns, that could definitely be extra useful in clearing out those packs.

wd is the most underestimated class.. yet when people realise how awesome big bad voodoo is they always want you to buff them or you to debuff ennemies with hex or even tank with your pets and some other story


witch doctors arent love for their awesomeness in general they are just loved for tini bits here and there


yet it is the highest burst damage class



wich class can burst over 2000%+ weapon damage in less then .9 second? wich class can burst for over 700+% wich class can give mass healing or even make a monster take 20% more damage at will


yes the witch doctor


believe in them and they will reward you with that feeling you receive after doing something amazing


i feel like the wd is treated as a utility class instead of a jack of all trade class do you have that feeling too since you play wd too ??


its called thorn damage and its useful to make the pets for the wd a helpful addition to their skill bar


since your dogs only do 9% of your weapon damage per tick you really need more help to finish the mobs fasters.. if you add tons of armor and resist your pets survive more making you win


its not a useless stat like no repair cost after dying gears


just find the gears that matters for your build
