So I broke down today....

[Lissa]

It's really hard to believe they nerfed Act 2 onward, it still feels retarded to me. I suppose damage is somewhat less spikey, but not much, and more importantly, the monsters health is still stupidly high. Also, maybe it's just me, but it seems like the monsters abuse their traits more in Inferno than lower difficulties. I ran into an elite sand wasp pack that had shielding, extra health, frozen, and fast. They would just pretty much chain cast frozen on me so I could almost never move, and when I COULD mobilize and kite, their extra health and shielding made it impossible for me to make any kind of a dent in them, so I just left to avoid the absurd repair costs. I really dont think it was nerfed enough, not even close really. All my items (except 1 ring) are ilvl 61 minimum, most are 62, and yet it still is not enough. Granted, I have only 18K DPS, but just the fact that is way too low with the items I have is proof that Inferno is really a broken system. I dont know, but I'm beginning to tire of Blizz's philosophy of "monsters over powered, player under powered". That has not what Diablo has ever been about, nor should it be. They need to go back to the drawing board, take notes from the Blizz North team, and re-think their entire philosophy if you ask me. I give props to people who made it through Act 2 and beyond though, you guys must have the patience of a doctor. But for most people, the brick wall that is Inferno is enough to turn them into patients of a doctor.

Act 2 has been nerfed, it was a lot worse before 1.03. The problem was, then when they nerfed Act 2 onwards, they also nerfed IAS which hurt a lot of people. The fact that they also instituted a bug with IAS on non-weapons and haven't been willing to fix it is another issue as well (I got lucky and got an Andariel's Visage with Dex prior to 1.03 and now, if I can find a replace, I'm looking at potential selling it because the IAS is broken on it and there's no traction from Blizzard on when it's going to be fixed, if ever).
