(I was posting as DStheHermit back then. Forgot my password and even which e-mail I tied to that account, though.) If he says "learn to play", then you probably do. I don't know if you saw Chesspiece's "Inferno for Dummies" video, but you've got less health than his Wizard, who is farming Act I. Yet I've seen you complain about later acts. If Chesspiece has better stats than you, but is still farming Act I because he lives in fear of Act II, and your stats are lower...what do you suppose is the proper course of action? He doesn't even use Teleport, even when fighting Waller/Vortexing mobs. I haven't seen any DH skills in action, but the largest advantage I saw from Chess was a shadow-hydra, and he wasn't even cheesing it around corners or anything.
Also, does invulnerable mean strictly invulnerable, or are there still ways (even if obscure ways) to defeat them?
Past games are irrelevant in this case. I was one of the best players on D1 (and I could have many people vouch for me, as well as physical proof with videos), but like Elric's case with D2, it means little here. We are talking about D3, not D1 or D2. And the fact of the matter is, I've unlocked Inferno, he has not - not to mention he has never seen me play, so no, he isn't really in any place to be judging my skill. Truth be told, anyone who has even unlocked Inferno and is attempting it deserves some credit, as hell difficulty itself in this game is an ass kicker.
If the pattern from previous difficulties remains the same, Act 2 will be unreasonably difficult - although this has to do more with the actual monster mechanics than it does difficulty - just that in Inferno the difficulty of those mechanics will be spiked. Alot of people who are in Act 3 or 4 have even said this. Many of them had to get gear that would drop in Act 4 from the AH just to get through Act 2. This makes sense to me because Act 2 was the hardest for me in all the previous difficulties as well.
The only way to kill Invulnerable Minions is to kill the so-called Champion individual of a pack, since it is the only one that can take damage. This is cheap IMO.
