Diablo 3: We need a thread

[shawn]

I can't seem to kill Diablo in Nightmare on my DH under any circumstance. Most of act 4 has been a cakewalk right up to him, but I just take so much unavoidable damage that I haven't even been able to push him into phase 2. I've been trying to use smoke screen, but you can only pop that like.. twice.. then you're out of discipline. Even Diablo's melee attacks are hurting like hell, despite my dh having 15k hp.

Even if I stocked up on vitality, I can't see how I'd get through phase 2 without the two healing wells there. Instead of a light breeze killing me, it'll just take a stiff wind. And Diablo's roughly hurricane force, or so it seems.

Lost a fourth attempt at a HC character after loosing my first, lol. It has been fun, but Diablo I believe has come to a close for the time being; will pick it up again down the road.

Shawn: would levelling and buffing equipment help?

Shawn, is this Diablo?

Srsly though, what's killing you most? I've only fought him once as a monk in normal, so I'm not sure what hits hardest as he fell over pretty fast. Are you vaulting enough? Because vault is the best skill ever. Maybe drop a sentry and just kite around for a bit? I'm only 30 on DH, though, so I don't exactly have definitive experience.

After playing every class in the game, I have to agree that Monks kind of are OP.

It did seem that way, but again, I only played it in normal - "Oh, am I taking tons of damage? Oh well, I'll just hit that skill that makes me completely invulnerable to everything AND heals me!"

No. My DH is already more powerful than my wizard was at this level, except the wizard has diamond skin and teleport. The demon hunter doesn't have any skills to absorb damage, other than the aforementioned smoke screen, which is 14 discipline.

Everything kills! Even his melee attacks seem to be hitting like a truck. And I can't exactly vault away from them, since he teleports to you and hits you in the time it takes to back away. I just can't seem to figure out how to mitigate damage all the 'normal' damage without diamond skin. 8 seconds of immunity every 15 seconds! Other classes just can't compare to the wizard when it comes to mitigation.

I may be off but what is your resist to all elements? Or at least to physical. I know my monk has like 300 now but you might need some 150 or so

150 in nightmare??

I have like.. 11. Largest is 31 in lightning resist.

Well I don't know, it was a rough estimate =P you can try closer to 80 and see if it helps
