And.......?
 
I dunno if it's lag or what but my game has been jittery as fuck the hole afternoon. Game would slowdown to standstill & bit just when facing large hordes. After dying 5 times in a row due to this shit I decided to rather play something on Xbox.
 
Made it to Act IV on my Barb, yay.
Been crazy with so many deaths and skipping of elites. I've calculated that some of these mobs just have to be broken, since sometimes I get hits that is definitely more than 240k per shot.

What difficulty you on? I'm almost to act IV on nightmare. Been a tough journey but enjoying the Barb again.
 
Hell mode is no fun with a wizard if you are playing alone. Most of the packs I encounter are shielding / invulnerable, mortar, fast / extra health and you just don't stand a chance not even with 3 defensive abilities. I frequently have to kite them to my most recent checkpoint and then just grind them down on each rez... I can probably kill about 1 in 3 blue packs without dying and with tremendous effort.

From now on if my friends aren't online I will rather level an alt through boring normal and fun nightmare.
 
Act 1 Inferno is luckily not that bad. I heard that from act 2 forward it gets really bad but that it will get nerfed in the next patch.

Now in act 1 my monk has been able to do everything except for two packs. One was fast, invulnerable minions, vortex and something else and the other one mortar, shielding, wall and something else. I just had to skip them for now. The skeleton king himself was very easy though.

Ugh and I farmed Whimsyshire Hell for about 5 hours on Saturday and it was pretty pointless. Didn't get any items worth mentioning and they were all level 59 and lower. Plus I get more gold just doing act 1 inferno. In fact it does not seem worthwhile unlocking Whimsyshire Hell at all. It's a lot of gold for very little reward.

Thx and ye, solo up to about halfway into Act 3 then joined forces with a DH friend. Azmodan is not melee friendly!


@Solitude

imo Act I is just right, but it is just to much of a jump to Act II. It should gradually go up so that Act II gets as hard as it is now but only towards the mid to end point of the act. And then same with Act II/IV

Atm I think Act II is relatively easy. Its quick for me to get 5 stacks and kill Belial, but Act II & IV is a massive jump up again and really not much fun. Specially since the Act II gear does NOT prepare you for it and that is my biggest problem with the game atm.
Something that patch 1.0.3 hopefully fixes.
 
My Wizard is progressing nicely through Act1 Hell, but zomg have I learnt to kite like a boss! Blizzard + Venom Hydra seems the only thing that gets the job done at the moment. I have read however that there is an alternative using Wave of Force and Mirror Images, but you need to be 59 to unlock those skills... Can't wait.

Its sad that the Wizard had the largest amount of variety while levelling, but once you get to the really difficult content, the only thing that works is a Blizz + Hydra and running marathons around Sanctuary. Lets hope when 1.0.3 (or future patches) comes out, other builds will be made viable.

Regarding Whimsy farming, after 2 runs of NM, I also felt that it didn't have much point, but I do know for a fact that Inferno Whimsy is lucrative, so I guess it'll be worth it at the end.

It's like that for most classes, once you get to the harder content you'll find that only a handful of your skill/rune combinations are actually viable. Just ask all those Whirlwind barbs in Inferno, oh wait there aren't any. :D
 
Managed to max my Jewel Crafting and Blacksmith at last.....

Now to up my resistance to all :), the Act 2 Inferno awaits

Lol! I dropped Whirlwind in Act 1 of Nightmare already. Seismic Slam with the Rumble rune works much better with my build. But yeah me and Grimspoon where chatting about it on saturday while playing, you tend to settle on a few skills and stick with them.

Did you see that they are reducing the training and crafting costs in 1.0.3? I stopped spending any money on training until 1.0.3 which is a double-edged sword because it basically also means that I can't use my JC or BS until the end of the month when 1.0.3 finally comes out.
