Saw an advert for Diablo 3 on facebook.
Had a picture of Leah...

Got my monk level 60 last night and both of the Shenlong's set weapons (12k dps weee). Almost done with Act III Hell. Inferno sounds fun.

after playing wizard for so long, every time I hop back to my DH, it feels more squishy and less fun
:(

Mr. Boss Kiter!

Mr. Squishy is what he is in nightmare mode...

Don't worry, I'll tank those demons!

Sure you will....
Ask lawlserj how well that works sometimes....

well i mean i WAS able to tank 3 things on my barbarian yesterday but i've heard barbarian starts to suck at higher difficulties (does good damage but dies really easily i've heard)

Molten Fire Chains.
Just sayin'.

we need a tank monk!

Trust me, Monk doesn't do much better against those sorts of auras. Pretty much have to kite.

lol
When lolserj dies things look bad.
You know it's going down hill when the glass cannon wizard and DH are kiting 3 blues....

GRASP OF THE DEAD! >.> <.< >.>

im stuck on inferno now. act 1 in the burning town that u need to kill 3 elite dark berserkers.... i cant beat them

Anyone want to add me to play? Playing with bad randoms is frustrating now D: I'm a lvl52 DH that just started Hell.

Battle tag: Itachi#1488

Just fought Belial on Hell... holy ***.

Going back to the subject of tanking. Am I just too focused on damage output or can demon hunter not take a hit for ***? Ever since about the middle of act 3 on normal every boss was able to one shot me from full health; had to beat them all without taking any hits. Needless to say that took an attempt or two and got a bit frustrating.

DH can't take hits to save their life.
I had the same problem so I started sacrificing tiny bits of dmg for health. Now I usually go for items with equal dex and vit so I can get max dmg and health. That being said at 41 my 6k hp still gets shredded, but it's usually in like 4-5 hits not 1-2.

Demon hunter can't take hits. In hell or Inferno, you pretty much always die in one hit even if you have like 20k HP. That's why all DH's take Smokescreen and Preparation. With those two, you're invulnerable for a large period of time and Smokescreen breaks most, if not all, binds.

Dunno if it was already posted or not, and on that note.. So who's made it to the "secret cow" level yet?

yep..... i have about 33k HP in inferno and I die in 1-2 hits as well.... I use the life leech skill combined with airstrike (20 bombs) , triple trap skill, preparation, bola shot and chakram to wipe large group of mobs. And if they manage to kill me grenadier will finish them, it does about 50-120k with my actual 12-27k dps. 32% evasion with 42% damage reduction is helpful too.

Solo setup for skeletonking in inferno was:
Bola shot, preparation, chakram aura, triple trap, knockback shot, life leech shot (almost never used it)

Edit: templar merc with 48k HP and cure/Aoe stun skills

I hate you all, want this game so bad after opening this thread just now.

Figures, was all ready to beat Act 4 since I have the day off and bam maintenance. Just hope they fix they crap that is making my character run like pond water in some areas. Otherwise game has been enjoyable so far.

I just did this on a tanky monk. I went in prepared to die multiple times, but he was much easier than I thought. Used this build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bZgYjh!dYX!ZcaYca

With my gear, every single lashing tail kick heals 2.5k. On tough elites I keep Mantra of Evasion's 3 second effect up which heals 4.2k every use. 30k HP with earth ally up, 1 handed weapons and a shield for fast spirit regeneration so I can keep healing. Most enemies aren't a problem anymore (illusion+vortex and either plague, desocrator, arcane or molten are the only real problems now since they get me stuck on top of their crazy damage and serenity can't break me free).

On my monk on inferno I currently run with:

Breath of heaven + damage boost rune
Cyclone strike + healing rune
Serenity + duration rune
Evasion mantra + armor rune

Fists of thunder + teleport rune
Crippling wave + enemy damage down rune

Transcendence (life per spirit spent)
Chant of Resonance (spirit regen)
Seize the initiative (dex adds to armor)

Weapons are Shenlong's Endless Tide and Shenlong's Crashing Wave
~500 DPS each. My total damage is ~15k with breath of heaven up.

I do not use one with everything because all of my resists are ~200 currently, and it would not make a difference (working on getting even more "+all resist" gear). I have ~18k total HP, which I'm thinking is too low atm, need more vit gear as well. Cyclone strike heals me for ~5k a pop and is relatively spammable. For elites with annoying traits I usually end up kiting until serenity is ready and zerg for a few seconds at a time. I have yet to have any problem with non-elite mobs, they die in a few hits. For general combat I telepunch in, hit breath of heaven -> cyclone strike (to draw enemies in) -> spam crippling wave for area damage. For single targets I just use telepunch (especially moving targets).

edit:
I'm Schiffy#1274 if anyone wants to play

just beat butcher with monk on inferno. need to kill him in around 3min. or the whole room catches on fire. (he has 2.9m hp)

my MNK looks like a SAM

random question but does anyone know if it's possible to give items directly to people? I know blizzard is excited for their POS auction house but when I get a drop in a game with friends that one of them can use it, I want to give it to them.

Either drop it on the ground for them to pickup, or right click on their portrait and click on trade.
