Sounds reasonable to delete your guy. You know, instead of just logging out and playing it when balance changes have been made...

When someone deletes a character everyone logged in at the time should get a percentage of the value of their equipped items and what is in their inventory.
I'm sure they will put that in patch 1.03.
I hate this new generation of crybabys.
First we get a WOW toony design
then people bitch because they can't insta win on the end game (that is supposed to last years) after 3 weeks!!
Not only that, but they bitch about drops as well, since I they don't have time/ can't be arsed to put the effort for it.
So, what does Blizz about it? nerfing difficulty and buffs items / drops.
Now get off my lawn
What specifically are you talking about?
How melee is broken as fuck in inferno? Have you played melee? I've played both ranged and melee, and ranged is so much easier.
With monks you basically have to keep attacking to get spirit to regen, which means you get hit a lot. It only takes a few hits to die beyond act 1 in inferno, and there's no equipment suitable for act 2 found in act 1.
Wizards regen mana all of the time. They have ranged, invulnerability, melee, illusion. There's just no comparison. Melee is weak compared to this.
Pretty soon I'll have 3 characters in hell. I've got a Barb in Act 2, my WD just got to act 1, and my Demon Hunter is almost done with act 2 nightmare. I'm super excited for the balance changes (secretly been waiting this whole time).
Also I'm pretty sure I'm in love with my DH:

I never paid more than 100k for any of the gear I needed to get through Hell as a barb. I did get stuck for a while in act 4, but I changed up my build and got some more gear and it became really easy. A lot of the gear I got to get through it was probably around 50k or less
I want to go back and quote all of the posters who told me botting would be irrelevant or impossible in Diablo 3. Blizzard made no real effort to fix the problem, so of course it's going to be an issue again.

How does this make any sense when the only time anyone cares a lick about the story is their very first runthrough on normal with their first character? And even then, not so much for some people.
I got tired of playing my DH with all the kiting and one hit kill...
So I leveled a barb to 60 (legit leveling, doing every quest in each difficulty) and shit barb is so fun ! I destroy everything in act1 inferno and now I farm the gear for act2.
I already have 800 loh, 50k hp, 10k dps... How much resist do I need for act2 ? 500 ? 700 ?

Okay so the life on hit gems: How much are they? I bought a weapon on the AH with a socketed 100 LoH. And I want to know how much the upgrades to that are? And if anyone has one for sale, that'd be good.

Gems are up on the AH, I just bought a star (i think?) that gives me +300 LoH for roughly 500k. Pretty cheap actually.
700 is probably on the low end. 8k armor, 800-900 resists is comfortable.
I'm assuming you're talking about stats buffed with war cry.
I can handle A2 fine with my DPS build which has 7k armor 900 resists
edit: I had no LOH the first time I went through it though so you might be fine with just 7k/700
Did people really think botting would be impossible? I thought that online only would stop duping, but not sure how it would stop botting. I am in no way a tech expert so I wouldn't mind hearing how botting works. As far as I know duping isn't a problem so that's a good start at least.
Act II Hell Hardcore (56 Barbarian and playing with a friend as WD every night). We're beginning to think the WD should wear a shield. Shit hurts.
Just dropped Ignore Pain for Threatening Shout (with Taunt rune) and Leap (300% armour) for Furious Charge (8% Heal), significantly better results for us. I do like the Leap then Taunt combo but the -15% dmg debuff is sufficient enough for rare\elite packs so far.
Current Stats:

Haha, no problem :x Good luck with Act 2~
Flawless Squares (best drops) are +65. It gets to +300 on Stars (27 Flawless Squares + 500k Gold to craft one) and +600 on Radiant Star (all of the money).
On that note, there's a Radiant Star for sale at ~25M Gold. Get to farming guys! :x
I didn't. It's in the first OT somewhere but I don't really want to look for it. I assume you don't either, so I'll summarize the debate.
Basically, people assumed that botting would no longer be a problem because Diablo 3 provides the client with less information about the game than the Diablo 2 client does, thereby making the game more difficult to automate. However, people have just responded (like they did when 1.10 came out in Diablo 2) by making less sophisticated bots that complete more mundane tasks, like standing at the beginning of Act 3 and letting a catapult kill everything.
Just keep running it. Took me forever to get. It is probably the worst one in regards to RNG

Star Gems are 500k to craft from the Flawless Square stage, I think. So if you get it lower than that, it's lower than it'd cost you to craft it.
Ok thanks. It seems I need atleast 50 all resist on every armor. ^^
Yeah, it's 500k. 27 Flawless Squares -> 9 Perfect Square -> 3 Radiant Square -> 1 Star. So that's 9 30k combines, 3 50k combines, and 1 80k combine.
Also, I love the prices on gems; Flawless Squares? Meh, ~1.5k. Crafting components are barely above vendor costs! Sheesh.

I asked a fuckload of highly relevant and important questions, and was one of the first 3 questions posted in the AMA, and of course I didn't get answered.

In their defense, the cutscenes are pretty good.
Everything else is Lifetime-made-for-TV-movie bad.

Okay, I am getting destroyed in Act I Inferno in the Cathedral as a Monk. I'm dying within seconds to every elite pack I come across, unless they have easy-mode abilities, which is rare. It seems every one is some combo of molten/mortar/waller/arcane/vortex.
I thought I was doing alright, but I can't progress at all now in the Cathedral.
Stats:
DPS 14388
26K Health
258 Resists to all
288 Life per hit
2557 Armor
Are any of those stats really low or am I just getting really, really bad luck with these ridiculous elite pack combos?

Get some higher resist and it should be manageable. I'd recommend going with a bit more evasive of a build myself but turtling up with resists and the like works as well.
What kind of resist levels are we talking about? 500ish?

it's a loaded and rude question (more of a statement really). He's not gonna throw his writers (and boss) under a bus and proclaim that yes, his games story is indeed shit.
How much Resistance do I need for Act 2 Inferno as a DH to avoid getting one/two shotted?
Right now I have around 350s to 390s on most of my resistances. My health is around 25K and I am on the hunt for a 900-1000K damage weapon which I almost have the money farmed up for, my current one is just above 700 but has 100 Dex, a socket which has Crit Damage +60% rune and 18%+ IAS. Dexterity is at 1600 round about.
Last time I tried Act 2 I got to Road to Alcarnus and stopped. Could've progressed further but deaths were too frequent, it wasn't what I would call comfortable living.

If you have good GF gear, you can find the Royal Crypts way point in Act 1 Inferno and just smash the pots in that entire area. It's practically risk free and there a lot of pots to smash (you can also attempt the 50 items destroyed achievement). It's boring but it gets the job done in giving you easy gold.
Depends on what you're getting hit by. For the most part I think with another 10,000 HP you'd probably avoid a fair amount of one-shot kills, provided your armor was similarly invested in as your resistances (around 2.3-2.4k ish or so).

waaaaat, 112 intel, 13 percent attack speed, 3 percent crit chance andariels visage for 75k.

I have 2650 armor, so I guess that means that I need to look into getting into the 30K health range. Thanks.
You might as well in prep for 1.03. As things stand this journey of building for survivability ends in act 3 and you become reliant on spending Discipline to take any hits. A number of things in act 2 will do the same.

Man every time I think I'm gettign sick of farming, I buy an upgrade or two and it makes such a world of difference. I never thought I'd say this but doing 5 stack ZK > Belial runs on Inferno is now easy as hell as a Barb.
Here's unbuffed stats as well as the build I use

I actually have a decent amount of Discipline (50 total) and can get off a lot of SSs with the help of Prep. The problem is that there is a small gap in between the SS or when I am out of both Disc and Prep that I am running around kiting only to get clipped by something off screen, a fast Elite or the numerous other difficult to avoid attacks in the game.
Yeah, I mean this is the life of every DH in Inferno. All I'm saying is that it is an unreasonably high bar to gear to survive these hits without mitigating them via Discipline come act 3. You can still gear high survival and run Gloom and it will extend your in-combat time w/ Discipline longer than SS will, with the caveat that you will now need to more actively mitigate damage with positioning. Otherwise you're pretty much stuck playing the SS game and avoiding one-shot kills until 1.03 comes out for everything beyond act 2.
Better than constantly having waller/desecrate/vortex on everything
