 My armory profile is outdated so here's my skills:Frenzy - 4% damage Rend - Range (damage vs bosses) Ignore Pain - Duration or life steal (haven't decided) Revenge - 30% chance (earthquake vs bosses) Warcry - 50% res WotB - 100% damage I really like rend since you can kite enemies easily with range and one hit kill most mobs. Only problem is I've got nothing vs waller/jailer except hoping that WotB/Ignore Pain takes me through if I'm in danger. | ||

So I just got to Inferno with my Wizz ( a bit late to the party, I know  . Id be grateful if you could help me out on this one, I wouldnt want to die too quick.So here we go: My character armory profile: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Douillos-2124/hero/19600501 This is me in VERY defensive mode: Im around 450 resists 3K8 armour UNbuffed. With prismatic (instead of force) i feel im really solid. I have 32K HP, which is a little less than I used to have, but I had to sacrifice a bit some DPS. With this build I am approx at 19K5 dps. If i switch my skill around ( echant weapon instead of hydra and glass cannon instead of evocation) I get to 25K dps, 391 resist min, and still 5K5 armour Unbuffed. My first question: do I have a chance in act 1/act2 inferno? It seems to me that im ok defensive wise, but im a bit afraid of being short in DPS... Also, what build do you guys use? I feel that all the builds i can find looking around are just glass cannons for softcore players... What do you guys use as wizzards? | ||

Your stats sound fine for A1, but not A2. get A1 on farm, then look at progressing to A3 (skip A2 due to mob types) in the next patch once difficulty is reduced. Build wise, i'd go Piercing Orb for AoE and the pierce effect for signature, Blizzard, almost any rune option for its crowd control, allowing you to drop temporal flux passive. Change Temp Flux for illusionist. Prismatic over force until your stats are far, far better. Play this build by dropping Hydra, then blizz, then spam Shock Pulse Orb. Control the situation and you should be fine. Any questions, Nethermind#1663 on US. | ||

It really reassures me that i cant get one shoted, is that a false sense of security? With prismatic I get to 560 resistance, is that overkill ? | ||

It was changed very early on, so that if an attack can exceed your post-mitigation life, it will bypass force armour. So it is great when your effective life is huge. You are not there yet. 560 is not overkill. I would run 700 in A1 and be comfortable. Dont worry about overkill too, its HC. Down the line, you'll only want that higher and higher. | ||

Ok thanks again I ve been playing my build for quite a while because im really good at stutter stepping, so using blizzard is going to be a bit strange, but It should be fun | ||

I was able to tank Shatterbone without double nukes, he got me down to half health but otherwise I haven't been close to dying. The problem is my DPS and attack speed are really low and my resistances could be higher as well. Haven't done any farming and don't really want to farm either, especially since you can't buy shit on AH now anyway, it's all dead. I bought my 850 LoH 920 DPS weapon for 500k and it was literally on the first page of a 600 LoH search... but maybe that's just how HC AH is. Here's my stats including passives, Enchantress and Warcry - Impunity. http://i.imgur.com/lJRGK.jpg What do u mean the AH is dead? There's plenty of items, but there's not say 5000 windforces up at a given time. Weapons are cheap due to the crafting for them not being shit anymore hence the standard of what is expensive has gone up, to sell one for a few mill it has to be 850+ dps, crit dmg, socket and some stats. Not to mention that once you get some gear LoH isn't that important for a barb anymore. | ||

Douillos: Well there are a few but all are from 1.0.3 unfortunately and most are barbs. 10k DPS is enough up until Belial though that's for sure. Act 1 about 400 AR and 40k life should be enough. | ||

Basically if I want to upgrade my LoH weapon I have 5-10 to choose from... For my part im really happy our AH isnt the same as the one in Soft Core. It makes the game that much more challenging! | ||

Uh yeah, 1k dps weapons are rare. This isn't softcore you know, people die with items, there are way way less HC players and there is only a selected few farming A3 on a daily basis. Hence the chances of loads of 1k dps weapons on the AH is kinda slim. To top this of like half of the really good items are traded privately between friends and other forums aka not on the AH. The standards of what is "amazing" on HC is lower, and has always been lower. Besides you don't need a 1k dps weapon, it is way overkill. And the AH not being flodded means you can actually sell items that aren't u know, top top of the line like on SC aka the economy isn't down the drain since people aren't corpse running act 3, bypassing gear checks, farming content they shouldn´t be able to farm etc. So i can just say, welcome to HC, you must be new. On a different note, like as i am pressing "resume game" to start an act 2 clear my internet dies. Fucking luck of the century, 20 seconds later an i'd be dead(that would've been my FOURTH dead decked out 60 DH to a DC btw, can we get a disconnect timeout already blizz?) and it turns out it's a nationwide problem with the people owning the fiber so above ISP level even. | ||

Damn, Nice save I had an internet box reboot while on a pack of champs act 1... Lucky I play in public games and a monk saved my sorry ass... But those 5 minutes while my box was rebooting were the longuest of my life :D Btw you on EU server? want to have a few runs one of these days? | ||

So I tried the first quest of Act 3, went pretty well, took down a Fallen Overlord pack but later encountered Fallen Hellhound with molten/frozen/jailer and they kicked my ass, had to escape... so well, time to farm AH for better gear. | ||

Before this I took him down on PTR and it's a pretty big difference. So I tried MP3 since Blizzard said it's the same difficulty as 1.0.4... well guess what, the snakes owned me instantly, even though they do pretty much zero damage on 1.0.4. So I guess MP1 is more like it is now.

I did my first try yesterday act 2, a little jumping mob put me at 50% just by jumping me... kinda put me off FYI 530 res 40K hp 37K dps... I mate said 50 dps 50K hp and 650 res before act 2 as Wizz, but man im getting sick of farming act 1 | ||

 ) because of this thread making it seem appealing I have a level 15 monk that uses a templar ally and just beat Butcher. I am using a shield and best-one-handed-weapon I find combination. So far it has been enjoyable and thankfully normal is face-roll easy Should I advance to the next act or redo the last few quests in Act 1 for better gear/experience? Also, if my character dies I lose all of his/her stuff, but does the stash and crafter (jewelcrafter and blacksmith) levels carry over? If not, what is the point of leveling up the crafters until you get a good way through the game? | ||

as a monk, id say you can happily play through all of normal, its not very dangerous. maybe buy some cheap low lvl vit gear to be on the safe side... | ||
