Using SS to deny death on those moments you go "Oh fuck".

Thanks for making this 
The Blizz forums are a mess trying to find an official source with all the info together.

Fixed the formatting, let me know if it makes sense!

Well they completely wrecked one of the few viable monk builds for inferno, but it needed to be done. It was clearly not supposed to work the way it did.
It looks like wizards won't be able to do their super low vitality BS build anymore, but I'm not sure if the DH SS nerf was enough. I can still see them soloing content way above their gear level in inferno. We will see I guess.
|
Wizards won't be able to do much at all... Force Armor is pretty much complete junk now, forcing us to stack vitality again. And if we want to REALLY survive, we're going to stack a whole ton of it. Even then, Wizards just die so quick. I don't know how they expect us to get past Act 2 Inferno.
I'm gona sit on my bank and wait around while people experiment before I buy a whole new set of gear on the AH. Until then, I am going to have nightmares of Molten/Mortar/Vortex/Jailer

Is there still a good way to farm equipp/gold fast, except just questing, after they disabled many of the good stuff

Funny thing is, they still haven't fixed the Act IV farm yet. It's the best one too.

It's been hit or miss the few times I do it.

The Act IV farms are good but Act II chest was the best, 30seconds for 6-8 items (3-4 of them being rare) was how many people made millions

What is clear from this(to me) is that people were not supposed to be advancing in inferno nearly as quickly as they were. They were using unintentional and broken builds/abilities to basically turn invincible because only the most serious grinders are geared enough to be getting through inferno act 1 in a "real" way. Everyone else was just exploiting these loopholes.
I know everyone expected to go through inferno almost as fast as hell, but I don't think that is what Blizzard intended at all. They basically want you to farm act 4 hell or early act 1 inferno for hours and hours to be able to get enough decent gear to progress. Whether this is fun or just "bad game design" is up to you, but it is a Diablo game. It is supposed to be about grinding content for a small chance at getting decent gear.
Personally, I'm on the fence as to whether I want to farm Skeleton King like it is beta again, or just play a different class or take a break all together (I'm currently playing a monk). I'll probably do a mix of all of the above.
Edit: I expect them to continue to play build/content whack-a-mole, as more broken combinations and more exploitable pieces of content are found. Get it while the getting is good I guess...

Yea, now wizards have to put up with the same BS that everybody else does.
Glad they fixed the monk stuff. I didn't like the idea of having to abuse glitches to get further in the game.
|
So happy with the patch notes. Wizards finally have to come up with a real build and not abuse force armor.
Welcome to the club guys.
|
Eh, we can still cast a lot of crystal skins with critical mass. I think all will be fine.
|
Misery loves company, funny how non wizard people are so happy that now wizards must suffer like they do. If everyone suffers then it's equality right?
|
Oh man, they really fucked demon hunters and wizards lol.
As as DH, this is how I feel right now -
