EPTNightmare was easy but even zombies hit pretty hard in hell. I'll probably try to get level 52 so I can change the rune on revenge.
It finally feels like I'm playing the game. Leveling from normal to hell is boring/a pain.

I dont think it will be possible for anyone now for a LOOONG time. Killing Belial phase 3 in under 3 mins? Siegebreaker in under 4? Gotta be kidding me. | ||

Warden with guaranteed Fast, Jailer, Molten, Desecrator?? Good luck with that one lol ^^ Blizz sure knows how to troll us hc players. | ||

I was playing Hardcore, my first d3 hardcore character and just cruising along and then I decided to look at the AH. I'll be honest, items overall seem too cheap, I bought some and now I'm kind of regretting it, feels a little less fun / hard right now (I'm still in mid-hell). So weird that I can put any gem in a weapon and still use it (it says level requirement, but doesn't enforce on the item). It also feels weird that it doesn't make sense to salvage items for recipe items as they're mostly cheaper at the AH than the items I would salvage would sell for. I think the most disappointing thing is that even with items I just bought for gold I feel like it's literally impossible for me to find better items from drops right now than what I'm wearing and that's always what provided the most thrill for me in d2 and d3. I wish I could go back to a world where I could un-know how cheap things were at the auction house. Ignorance is bliss. | ||

It doesn't mean he would have died without it because he would take different measures to stay alive. And Belial in under 3 minutes is doable. I did it last night on a WD with ~22k DPS unbuffed. I wouldn't attempt it on HC with that kind of gear though. Phase 1 and 2 are also a pretty big joke now. | ||

There is no other measures to stay alive. He already had EVERYTHING he could AND hydra. You can't reliably survive on diablo as a wizard w/o really over gearing it. | ||

The Belial enrage is fucking ridiculous. I'm not going to be doing it on hardcore until I have 30k DPS with the same resistances I have at the moment. Doing it on softcore, Belial enrages at 5% or so with the DPS that I have on my hardcore WD, and my last try with 19k DPS procced my cheat death when Belial died. If I get hit once during the fight I'm fucking dead at the end of it, because I barely beat the enrage timer. Seems like I'll be stuck on Act 2 for a while, unless I can get a free ride from someone in to Act 3, but then I guess I get stuck on Ghom because he's even more ridiculous than Belial is. The game is harder pre Act 4. If I just get to Diablo I can kill him, because Diablo is a fucking joke now. The earlier bosses are harder than the last one, which blows my fucking mind. But I guess Blizzard wants to give you Inferno Hardcore for free as long as you can make it past Azmodan. | ||

Only 2 players did it as a team pre-patch and none have done it post-patch. are we sure none have done it post-patch(i know krip/krippi were first and only before patch), I doubt future diablo kills will be as public/important? Seems like progression is a lot easier if you have the dps/gear to avoid enrage timers if hardcore players have been farming post patch, the quality of gear will have shot up. Sure act 3/4 drops suck now for those farming softcore, but this was a huge change for hardcore. Anyways.. for my own progression, Im lvl 31 nightmare mode on a witch-doctor.. I also found a really really awful lvl 15 legendary chest piece and sold it for 20k, I was happy with that as it let me buy new gear before killing diablo. Going to work my through nightmare now, got spirit vessel finally for extra safety. Didn't come close to dying except for 1 time I got myself surrounded with spirit walk on cooldown, and ....another time on azmo, I got stuck in an infinite loop, I'd run away, rubber band, Over and over and over.. i paused game, unpaused, and kept rubber banding, right into his lazers even.. I wasn't too upset as I was just on normal, but i even paused called my girlfriend in too show her, it wouldn't let me do anything and how funny it looked.., unpaused, showed her, then decided to try spirit walk, and finally spirit walked out of it and it didnt rubber band me(about 20-30 rubber bands to the same exact spot in total, had to spirit walk to stop it from glitching), luckily im stacking vit for hardcore mode.. but ya pretty entertaining, wish I had it recorded. Goal is to make it to act 4 hell and farm slowly, very slowly, don't plan on spending too much time a day on this, just something to do when I feel like it, I'm in no hurry, hopefully act 1 capable gear isn't tooo expensive, cause farming act 1 elites seems like a nice way to find items now for HC.(I find goblins dull) | ||

I had no resists when I did hell butcher either. Just run away before his big wind-up hits and don't stand in the fire. You don't really need resists for Act2 or 3 Hell either but the margin of error starts getting smaller around this point (i.e. you have to play smart vs elite packs, and lag means almost certain death). I would start hunting the AH for allres gear and also shoot to improve your hp to around ~40-45k, DPS to 3.5-4K. | ||

You have to take that into consideration. They had gear pretty much from act2 goblin farming. Act3 was very risky to farm and they even died doing that. Now, you can farm act2 goblin and get much better gear which makes progression through act3-4 and bosses much easier. | ||
