Okay so people who have beaten diablo on inferno, I have a couple of questions:

Did you do it with just +12% move from boots or did you get some additional +movespeed? The legendaries with move on them seem pretty bad except for Tyrael's Might, but a decent one costs a ton of money.

Is there a tell for when he's doing the prison thing other than that it's been a while? It's easy for me to dodge them if I know they're coming but other times I'll be sitting there nuking thinking I'm safe but then I get caught and then die.

Does MM+seeker go further than AO? I'm unsure on what I should use as my damage dealer other than venom hydra. What I've been doing is MM+seeker/venom hydra/force weapon/DS/force armor/teleport w/ wormhole. As passives I've been doing glass cannon, arcane flux, and galvanizing ward but I'm not so sure about the last slot.

I've been making it into p2 but not getting very far in there. My gear is 41k dps/44k hp/310 resists/4800 armor.

how much do you think a .9 or 1.00 aps with ~200 more dps (1350 compared to 1150) would increase my DPS? my current weapon has 1.39 aps. let's say the same exact crit dmg% also.

dps * (1 + (int / 100))

(min_dmg + max_dmg) / 2 * atks_per_second * (1 + (int / 100))
with
min_dmg = weap_min_dmg + off-hand_min_dmg
max_dmg = weap_max_dmg + off-hand_max_dmg

IMO Archon is useless in inferno, because you have to either be in melee range or channel to do damage. You're going to end up needing more survivability spells on your bar after level 60 because everything has like 10x as much health as it did in hell.

Anyway I got stuck hard on Belial today, such an aggrivating fight. I'm at 37k dps with 22k life, arcane orb/venom hydra build and I can't get past phase 3 because of my latency to the US server. I did get him down to 10% once. Phases 1 and 2 are a joke but I'll die when I'm FAR outside the range of a green circle when it lands. I'll take some screenshots next time it happens.

I assume it would just get harder with more people in the party so it's just gonna be one hell of a grind to kill him.

Personally, my one and only goal for days on end was to kill him no matter what, and after doing so I've not really had a goal for my sweet little Topaz. Inferno Whimsyshire is fun and challenging, but it still lacks that little something/something to make it feel worthwile. I mean sure, you can always farm more gold to buy even better gear, but I'm only doing that if I have reason for it. Now that I've killed off the big bad guy at the end, I feel like I'm lacking a reason to farm. Sure, there's gonna be PvP implemented in patch 1.1, which is gonna be fun to try out, but I think they'll redesign so much regarding classes/skills/gear etc, that there are quite simply too many question to preemptively know how to prepare for that, so I'm currently leaving that question unanswered, and I'm leveling up alts instead, and it's a ton of fun. I've got a Barb in mid NM that I'm progressing with with a friend, and also a solo Monk in early NM, but I'm loving the class so it's likely gonna be 60 in a matter of days given how much I can see myself playing it.

So, to everyone else, what's your current goals after beating Inferno?
