some items are pretty bad, like the boots. 12% ms are a must for me. the shoulders are bad too.
album with all but the weapon
I'm a glass canon. I'm working on getting good items with resi/armor/vit/int.
edit: I only list one ring, because they are the same.
thank you so much for doing this. it pretty much confirms what I suspected: though my weapon is 1007 damage, it's IS the reason why my damage is so low. My other items are fucking fantastic...but my weapon is simply not enough for Act II.
For now, I'm stepping down from trying to beat Belial. I battled all the way through Act II and I tried for 2.5 hours tonight just trying to beat him.
In a nutshell: 30,000 dps is just not enough to take down the endless stream of invis trident dudes. I tried every reasonable combination tonight, but ultimately, he just gets overwhelmed.
In 2.5 hours, I never even made it to the second part of the fight. I never got part 1 Belial below 60% health. I kept trying because I figured it was just something I needed to do better. Nope. Simply put: damage is king. If you're not doing...by my estimates...40k-50k damage, you're not sniffing a Belial victory. Period. There's not enough space to seriously kite and not doing enough damage means the inviso guys can get a surround and take you down. There is no way to keep them away long enough for the cooldowns to reset. Before the Energy Armor nerf, it was possible with just 30,000 damage and < 30,000 health. No longer.
Fellow Wizards on Act II (Inferno) who want to solo Belial: I encourage you to go back to Act I (or skip forward to Act III) and just farm. Farm a couple of million and buy a weapon like the one la_briola here found. 1200 damage (or that in total if you're 1-handing it), good +damage, maybe a socket, and whatever other stats you can get. Otherwise, you need not apply.
I'm stacking paper tomorrow and I will own an uber weapon by the end of the weekend. fuck this noise.
Regards,
A disappointed Dreams-Visions who is hella grateful to la_briola.
P.S. --> if you're not using the auction house, it will probably be a long, long time before you find an uber weapon good enough to boost your DPS to handle Act II reasonably. you might get really lucky, but understand it's a low-ass probability. Use your time wisely.
I farmed the whole day and almost got a whole new set for my WD friend but only one or two items for myself. :sadface
