    im about to deinstall the game, its just frustrating and not really fun on inferno
    don't want to do it before beating the game fully though, so I can talk bad about that piece of... uhm, ya....shit,without jerks telling me "you mad cuz you sucked"

    its not really a good game, bad server preformance make things even worse, you pretty much can't play without dying to something due to lag/1-sec screen freezes and character-set-backs

    not really fun when the screen stops for a second (hi ingame-streaming) and you see mortar explosions.
    not really fun when you try to run away from something just to find out that "suddenly" every mob got the vortex ability and you get set back right next to them

    act3 inferno is giving me a headache though.
    no exceptions anymore, absolutely *everything* one hits now, I can't survive anything, I switched Battlescars on my prep-skill to chance on cd-reset. because there is nothing to heal anymore, i'm either at 100% or at 0%

    since my friend plays a monk, i know that stacking HP and Resis won't help either, unless you want to spend 20.000.000 gold. as melee its impossible to finish the game selffound...

    I'm waiting for a patch, it can't stay like this

    How do the people who manage to beat it anyway? They say that if you go around skipping elites then you should be able to finish the game, even if Inferno mode is supposedly impossible to finish.

    I am currently in Act 2 Inferno. I had to buy a crossbow to beat the butcher. My DPS simply wasn't good enough, but when I switched I just chained smoke screen and he died. I focused on a crit build, and with sharpshooter my DPS is around 50k. I know that isn't really consistent, but it is what the first burst does, and that is usually what you are able to hit in Inferno anyway.

    I keep dying for the stupidest reasons, like the residue poison of some enemy corpse on the ground.

    Is farming the butcher worth it? I think with luck I should be able to stack 5 NVs (this is the hard part) and kill him (very easy part).

    Just assembled my staff of herding, waiting till a bit later to use it. Should I expect the pony level to be especially difficult?

    It is supposed to be Act 4 level of the same difficulty, and since the requirement is to have finished that difficulty, it should be a cake walk.

    I'm surprised some of you are playing on underpowered machines that won't let you fully enjoy the game. I try to play on a computer at work, but you have to play in this tiny window and you'll die a lot on harder modes because it's hard to see what's going on and the lag.

    I'm getting into trouble losing track of my mouse pointer during heavy battles. Since I can't locate the pointer, I can't click to get away from swarms of elites who are hitting me for 5k damage repeatedly.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    from what I've heart its harder, at least on inferno

    mobs have more HP etc.

    I'm @ Act4 inferno atm, and I gotta say, if thats true then its really hard.

    A friend managed to get all the stuff for the pony level and we did it on hell mode, im a DH and hes a monk, i died maybe 2-3 times because of mistakes on my part but it wasn't very hard.

    At the moment i pretty much have act1 inferno on farm status, and i find it pretty easy to get 5 NV stacks aswell, i can handle almost all elite pack combos, the ones a do skip are mostly packs of enemy-types that are fast by default, that has the "fast" stat on top of that aswell, those i can't kite for shit and they swarm me do death instantly, also skip most packs that have "invulnerable minions", those are a pain in the ass.

    The difference from act1 to act2 in inferno is quite shocking lol

    Can you elaborate what this means, exactly? Whenever I think I know what stacks are, someone uses it in a context that doesn't make sense to me, and I definitely have no idea what NV is an acronym for.

    Finished Nightmare difficulty tonight. I know it's not that far compared to others, but I played with friends who were on a lot lower act/quest than me until they got where I was. Think my DH is lvl 51 now, which from what I was told is pretty good going into hell mode.

    Nephilim's Valor buff. It gives 15% Magic Find and Gold Find and stack up to 5 (total of 75%) and you gain a stack every time you kill a rare/champion-pack when you are level 60. Once you ding lvl60 you start getting those stacks and you get them on any difficulty (just clarifying since a friend thought you only got the stacks on Inferno). The buff holds for 30 min and refreshes every time you kill a rare/champion-pack. I farmed Azmodan before i was strong enough for Inferno and without stacks i got like 2-3 blues. With 5 stacks the spider boss and Azmodan gives at least 2 yellows and 5 blues each.

    Edit: btw Whimsyshire on Inferno is no joke. Everything, even the little flower, 1-shot you. And rare/champion is almost impossible. Me (WD) and my friend (DH) went in to try it out. We managed to kill of 2 of 6 elites we found. And they had easy combos. Was just time consuming. But i can see how this can lead to profits once you can farm. If you dont open up any clouds, presents, mushrooms or the Pinata and then when you have cleared the map equip MF gear and open everything there should be some heavy loots. 200% MF + 5xNV buff. Gonna try that later on hell and see how much i get from just looting those.

    Wow the elite packs on hell difficulty are insane enough as it is. I can't imagine how ridiculous they must be on inferno. I've fought a pack of 4 frogs with fire chains and molten and possibly horde. I died 4 times and haven't even hurt one of the frogs to below 75% health. Guess I'll need to group up and try it out.

    the clouds are the reason why I'm going there soon, 5 stacks + 180+mf on equip is going to be awesome

    if I can't handle the champion/elites there, then thats fine, just pull them all together somewhere in a corner of the map, the normal monsters seem easy enough since they don't have any special abilities like those nasty "mini-diaboli" in act 4 with their charge ability.
    they arn't ranged either. probably the easiest way to farm equipment for and from act3/4.

    normal frogs from Act 1 or soul-lashers? (act 3/4 - tongue rape from 1 screen away)

    on inferno you skip them, there is no way to defeat elite-soul lashers there.
    the problem is, very often its impossible to skip them (at least in act3)... then you have to restart the map (hurts alot whenever you managed to get your NV stack to 5)

    Not sure, they're blue frogs that glow yellow and this is in hell mode in the cemetary in Act I. I was able to get away from them and run around an area several times while healing between ass-kickings, but sometimes they did somehow magically pull me to them, so I guess that is soul-lashing. I can skip the crypt they are in, but I hate running from a fight.

    Can anyone say if my stats are on-par? Whenever I read forums about D3, my stats seem underwhelming compared to others:
    Level 52 monk on hell mode act I
    20k hp
    2650 dps
    2640 armor

    Had my first run-in with champion soul lashers on nightmare mode. They showed up in literally the first room I entered in the basement quest on act 3. They had fast and fire chain, and was the first time I physically could not kill a mob. Kind of a pity, too, because up till that point I had logged about 80 or so hours into the game and only died maybe twice.

    I kill the ones I can, but completely skip the ones I can't in Inferno. DH with vault (Tumbling), SS (Lingering), and passive Tactical Movement can escape anything, even teleporters and fast, given enough space.

    Me and a friend kept clearing Whimsyshire Inferno today for farming. It's so much loot. The clouds, oh the clouds. Did it just like i said. Cleared it out and then put on MF gear and opened everything with 275% MF and 125% GF (I include NV ofc). On 2 runs (got DC last run and couldn't get back on afterwards) i got a yellow 2-h crossbow with 1070 DPS and like 100+ Dex. Sold it for 1.4 million. And my friend found a yellow belt that he sold for 500k and Legendary Hellrack (best Legendary 2-h crossbow) that he put up for 1 million. And he found a pair of gloves that gave 120+Int, 120+Vit and 15%AS. Similar gloves on AH was out for 3.5mil or more so he put them up for 2.9mil. Oh and i got myself some upgrades in my gear. So all in all it was a really good place to farm. Gonna continue today i guess.

    btw last run when we got DCed just as we had cleared everything and was about to start looting the clouds we where only able to kill of 2 of all the elite packs. The two other runs we just killed every elite except maybe one that got a crazy combo. The last at least 4 packs had super crazy combos. Like Arcane Enchanted, Waller, Vortex, Jailer. Or Invulnerable Minions, Fast, Jailer. So usually we have 5 stacks when its looting time.

    Does Staff of Herding disappear after you use it?
