One of the AOE+extra health+reflects damage on something that's already highly mobile base mob. Like the stupid fucking lickers.

I am a bit happy with the change,

the SS/Prep/Bat/Marked for Death/Hunger/Multi shot build was stupid good with all of the runes.

Having that much invulnerability was way to powerful and kind of ruined the best part about our class which is playing tactical and microing like a fucking Korean Terran player. The games only a week old guys.

There will be other builds....

Agreed. 20 seconds of invulnerability is just dumb.

I'm in Act 2 Hell and haven't really had any problems, just kite and kite then when they get close I invis and run to the other side, continue kiting.

Only really have a problem with vortex+fiery chains+fast.

Which elite mobs give you guys the most problems?

Thanks...



Let me know if other numbers are helpful. I tend to try and DPS the crap out of things until I'm in the poop and then SS away. Finding it a little tricky without caltrops though, which is what I used for normal so I am used to them in the way I play.

Resists and Vit are not useless, not at all because you will do nothing if you are 1 shot every time at least playing solo.
You need big life pool like 30-40K and like 900+ resists or 1200+ in ACT 3 just as barbarian also needs.


Edit: It's hard to get the good items to do that but that is all about playing Inferno, you need incredibly good items( this means hard farming) and strong strategy and awesome coordinating team.

Edit: 900 resistance on level 60 monsters means spell absorbtion of 75% calculated = 900/(900+5*60) = resistance /(resistance + 5*monsterlvl) and 1200 resistance means 80% spell absorbtion.
As for armor to get 75% damage absorbtion an lvl 60 you need 9000 armor and for 80% absorbtion you need 12000 armor

Monsters in Act 1 are level 61, in Act 2 - 62 and in Acts 3 and 4 - 63. And each of those have Tier items that ONLY they drop - so a total of 3 Tiers in Inferno.

Quit theory crafting. You won't have anywhere near 900+ resists, 50k life, and enough dps to kill stuff. I'm guessing you've never been to inferno because as soon as any DH steps into act 2, they say fuck this shit and go 100% dex and power through it. Even after the SS nerf it is still quite easy to finish the acts as long as you skip unbeatable elites.

Critting for 70k+ damage is a lot more important than being able to survive 2 hits instead of 1.

It's hilarious how true that statement is.

I wonder though, if you build somewhat tanky enough, whether you can replace Smokescreen with Shadow Power + Gloom and keep up a 65% damage reduction + 20% life leech for 30 seconds and make it viable.

Butcher in Inferno, how are you guys doing it? All the videos I've seen of people killing him involve them getting extremely lucky with dodging the chains. Does anybody have a more reliable tactic for this guy?

You only need about 25k hp to not get one shotted. He's relatively easy to beat since hooks, charges, and melees are easy to dodge. You just have to be fast with the smoke screen to not take damage from chains.

Edit: I'm getting hit for about 50k from elites. With proper resists you can probably have 30% Resists * 65% Gloom so 50k hits turn into 12.5k and I would get 4-5 shot from 50k hp. Hmmm, nope that still sounds retarded.

Twitch Smokescreen his AoE chain. It still takes me like 4-5 tries unless I get a lucky Dodge lol. Otherwise nothing should ever really be hitting you.

You can also try stacking +37k HP and just run to a health well every time you get nicked. You'll need more HP when playing with others.




It was consistently hitting me for 34k. =/

The sound plays before he does it, our DH avoided it 100% of the time (with the stealth imunity) on all our farm runs

I guess I'll try turning my music off and listen very very carefully.
edit: After dying a few more times - any chance you can describe the sound effect? I can't hear anything distinct.
