Energy Armor:/Skill Rune - Force Armor: Amount of damage absorbed from a single attack will now cap at 100% of a player’s maximum Life


This actually made me happy because I am running a lot of vitality. Currently at 12k hp and 2900 dps and only at level 44. Still in act 2 of Nightmare. Fighting Belial will be interesting, probably will buy some new gear before fighting him.

12K is overkill for ACT 2 Nightmare, and 2900dps is quite high. You are gonna be fine with belial. My wizard alt finish Nightmare(solo) with 2.8K dps lol. One shot almost every boss expect Diablo -_-. I only have 11K HP when I fight Diablo though. And I didn't use FA cos Its not available till your 54

I had 1k dps when I finished NM ._.

Crit build works very well in Act 1 inferno, haven't tried act 2 or on yet, I'd imagine it wouldnt work that well(espescially against the wasps), either way you are going to need vitality.

I go to my normal kite/prismatic armor build for act 1. Feel that's overall better against all the rares. The one weakness that the crit build has is simply the affixes attached to certain mobs, otherwise it can deal with just about anything at any act. Maybe it's better for you guys if you don't have a lot of gear to do act 1 with.

Also, how much hp do you need to do belial now? I'm sitting at 24k with my gear atm.


for belial enough to survive his minions early on. which 24k with decent armor and resist should be enough. when belial transforms just dont get hit, as all his attacks are signaled to you. I honestly dont think you can get enough health to block some of his attacks.


though i think i need help dealing with act 3 inferno. i just do not have a build that can go through all those ranged and elites in tight spaces. What are some suggestions, other than the crit build(no money). and the kite builds i know, i die to fast because as soon as I walk around a corner and find out whats there im dead.

Crit build is high level play now eh???

the mobs are facerolling
so I am too

this is going to give me such a bad case of RSI.
Either way I also tested a Wizard build with kiting but if a mob hits me once its basically half my hp, almost 1shot on some(leaper mobs are a bitch, and there are a LOT of those in act II)

hey whats behind this door TONGUE LASH

Seriously, act 3 (especially once you go down into the keep) is a painful place. I've just been attritioning my way through with arcane orb/venom hydra spam but eventually I run into champion soul rippers and just call it quits.

I made it through the keep on pure luck (no soul ripper champions lol), and made it to the Tower of the Damned areas, and those are just as impossible, maybe even more. There's no room to kite, no secluded areas to take unkillable champion packs. Now with FA nerfed , I'm even more stuck =/

Well, good to know my character is sufficiently broken then. There were a few rare mob combinations that were giving me problems in Nightmare. Jailer + molten is a royal pain in the ass. Arcane + waller is vicious. And I still hate frozen + anything. If I get frozen I pretty much die.

Hmm, what do you guys think is the optimal crit %? I'm running 30% and I feel that's overkill and takes away from some other good stats.

Also, they should make diamond skin scale. Completely dumb after act 2

LOLOLOL i had 30k dps and 4500 hp before this hotfix hit.. Used to roll act 2, now i can't even survive 1 shot from a normal mob WITH diamond skin/force armor on. Already had low motivation to play this game anymore when i was owning, now its dropped to zero.

It's a pain, but if you didn't expect a mechanic that outright ignored vit/defense/resist to get nerfed as a 'too good to be true' thing, then... well...

I did expect it to be nerfed, but something like FA caps to 50% instead of 35. As it stands right now, i have to change every single piece of gear (except weapon) that i have, in order to be much less efficient than before. Anyway, screw this game, first Blizzard title that doesnt manage to keep me hooked for at least 4-5 months. They must be losing their touch.

Nah, you just need "enough" vitality depending on where you are. You can definitely be fine swapping only half your gear and keeping the DPS gear.

I just bought gear for crit vit build and it doesnt work properly.After belial in act 2 you cant kill most of elite mobs anymore.Any combination of invul. desecration plagued arcane kills you.You have to stand still to stunlock mobs but even 1 of them cast you desec vortex arc orb plague you are dead.Any most of ranged mobs one shots you aswell...

Honestly, no one has the right to complain yet because the crit build is still in the game. There's nothing more overpowered right now. After that's out then we can whine
