Aren't there moon clans in act 1 too? Well either way, I think an oppressor packs way more of a punch.. especially not being able to dodge it at all.

How are DHs killing Siegebreaker now that he has Damage Reflect
DH has skills which suggest otherwise.
With LoH, Life steal, regen, pots, and a healing merc.
Who is going to be farming oppressors when you get the same loot with the same odds in Act III?
So your comment is irrelevant.
Not just gems though. The raid sword I like (I'm only level 52) used to cost a ton of resources plus 10k gold. Now it is few resources and less than 2k gold. A lot more room to try repeatedly for good rolls.

Crafting is incredibly useful.

This dude made 250 million gold in 2 days by crafting 6 property gloves, shoulders and bracers for his viewers. You can get the best stuff in the game for those slots with exalted grand patterns.
Hell.
Hell I believe.

The tears on the official forums over the IAS nerf are hilarious. So many people threatening to sue/quit (quit diablo and go back to WoW. Seriously).
Yeah, him and another streamer from Sweeden do the same thing. Buy mats off the AH, craft all day, make a LOT of gold.
Yeah. Gonna enjoy reading them later at work.
Thanks.
It's actually not that funny. You gotta figure people spent absurd amounts of real money on their real auction house on items that are not even close to worth that price anymore. I'm sure quite a few people got seriously burned.
While that's cool, what I really meant was that it is now a more legitimate way to get items to use if, like me, you refuse to equip yourself from the auction house.

How bad are repair costs?
Ahh I see what you mean. Especially now since the 5prop plans have such a reduced price.
Not bad if you don't go around dieing a lot. Pretty costly otherwise. Up what, 10x now?
Fully broke I was at 36k a bill as a Wizard. It totally halted my Act III progression.
Everyone calling Demon Hunters cheese before today's patch are full of it. Clearing all of Inferno was incredibly difficult when the slightest thing can one shot you. Plenty of the other Demon Hunters I know wouldn't even brave Act 4 let alone had a pretty difficult time in Act 3.
I still do 106k DPS after the patch but I lost 20k DPS. 170-250 resists with around 25k HP. I basically survive one hit from almost anything including most but not all boss attacks (cleared act 3 in one run through ezpz).
We'll see how I do tonight, I've learned how every enemy/ability in the game works so hopefully nothing changes for me and I just dodge everything like I've always done.
I don't see why glass cannon builds won't be even better in groups now.
edit: bliz definitely made my style of playing much more cost prohibitive
People say I was playing the game wrong/abusing the game and they're glad I got punished for it? LOL! Self righteous idiots. I think maxing out DPS and then actually learning how to play the game and what the enemies do is the funnest way but I guess I'm objectively wrong. I should be buying resist gear so I can stand still and shoot, you know, play the game proper.

You are not supposed to be rushed by an Oppressor though.
Compared to other classes? Not really.
Like I said, my monk could just sit there all day, which is no fun either but at least I don't need to worry about repair costs.
I'd go a wizard personally.
I watch my little brother use his lvl 60 Wizard, seems really fun!
I just wish there was a way to level up really fast and get a lot of gold really fast as well...
I would play with other people but no one seems to wanna play :<
You didn't say compared to other classes. You just said they weren't designed to take hits. They can take hits just fine if geared properly and even more so with certain skills. Sure, they can't take hits as well other other classes, but that doesn't mean it can't be done at all.

i am disappointed most guys in my list are just soloing Inferno at this point to farm. i should just delete them off my list.
Numbing Traps passive. 25% less damage for 3 seconds.

I'm with you on this one. It'd be funny if we hadn't all spent $60 on this game expecting a finished, balanced product--much less those folks who spent additional dollars for equipment destined to be busted.
It's a rational expectation that once they introduced the RMAH, they wouldn't be breaking the items a week later.
From 4 to 5 stacks in Inferno Act 2 in no time, no deaths and no difficulty whatsoever. Swapped Nether Tent to Ball lightning which still hits a target more than once but does less damage in exchange for an absolutely massive hitbox. And massive is probably an understatement. Fire these down any path or corridor and absolutely everything is getting tagged.
If these changes were what it takes to get the class envying DH haters to STFU then a celebration is in order. Im heading back to farm Act 3. Not even reflect damage will phase you with the incredible life leech Ball Lightning gives you when it tags a mob multiple times per shot.
Yeah there are some mobs that are still terrible as far as fight/flee AI goes.

After seeing Kripp do Act 2 with a Barb awhile back, I was convinced that the DH's "die a lot to succeed" playstyle was ultimately inferior when it comes to handling more difficult and demanding tasks. It was evident that they were gonna get hit super hard.
I'm not going to try and justify Blizzard's actions because it's impossible, but they DID talk about plans to nerf attack speed before the RMAH actually came online, so there was at least a small heads up that it was coming.
