I haven't found a good enough build to solo act 2 after the nerf. I am kind of undergeared so that is probably a factor, but i also whiped like 10 times on butcher today because the multihook one shots me. | ||

There is now essentially no way to survive on Act III and onwards, the crit/stun build only works somewhat, as anything ranged will oneshot you before you can freeze them. Complete overkill from blizzard imo, if it was >20k that was needed that would easily have been enough, but this is just ridiculous. | ||

It's still really overpowered compared to every other class (esp. melee) but now it's possible to actually die. Definitely works in Act II, it does not in Act III. Or rather I should say, if you have enough crit you can handle most melee groups since you should be able to permafreeze them, however you will be oneshotted by everything no matter what, so only five or so normal ranged units are insane. | ||

I may have to upgrade my gear from what I was using while leveling (got rushed through the game after giving up on my first char, stacked +exp/vit gear) but that's not a big deal. Almost done with A2. About 27k hp, 50k with Diamond Skin, 4,2k armor, 300 resistances. | ||

force armor effectively lets you survive hits with a nominal damage of up to 2 times your max hp. so if you, for example, get 30k hps, you can survive all hits of up to 60k damage. obviously not gonna save your from the super tough bosses or if you get inside a large pack of ranged units, but its better than nothing. | ||

It is a very defensive build built on kiting4eva. It's not got much dps since there are no damage boosting skills so I had to switch it out for ol' Patchwerk but worked very well with a bit of practice. It can deal with most elites though some combinations are pretty fucking hard (fast or vortex I'm looking at you). I haven't tried it in Act 2 and beyond and I've since switched my build to a much more offensive build, but hang in there with it and you might find you like it. | ||

It at least lets you survive some stuff that would otherwise obliterate you so it's still the best armor spell. | ||

The main problem is there are a lot of mob attacks that are unavoidable which make kiting a bit useless. For example all the medusa in act 2 could just go invisible and they are completely invulnerable to your slow/stun. Another problem is Damage overtime really hurts quite a bit..... Gosh, the most painful thing is now i have to re buy all my gears and price of every single Vit + Int are going up sky rocket......... JEZUZ | ||

why not make it so that u reduce the effect of life gen, like make it you need 20khp or so for the 35% dmg to work then you can't insta regen life to tank, you would have to run around edit: feel sry for those who spent so much on no vit gear lol, lucky for me i didn't fully commit to it now wiz needs armor + hp.. | ||
