Thread: Post-patch inferno... too easy?

Anyone in inferno try out act 2 or 3 since the patch? I went over to Act 3 to try it out... and even with my main attack getting nerfed pretty bad, the place felt like cake. It was almost like going back to Hell mode.

I have pretty decent gear (Maybe ~3-4 million worth) and am built like a total glass cannon, but even I can take multiple hits from mobs in Act 3 now.

Hardcore mode actually looks much more appealing now that Inferno will be so moderate.

Thoughts?

Still getting creamed with 65k hp, 10k ac, and 300 resist all in act 2. Trash mobs went from challenging to snoozefest, but i'm still having marked difficulties with the champion packs. I could probably skip content and solo bosses, but i'll be damned if i'm taking the easy way out.

played act 2 for about 20 minutes.. Spawned in on 2 champ packs.. Died like 4 times, repair costs went up to 40k. Went back to act 1 for a few ...

Will attempt act 2 and 3 when i get some new bracers and a new weapon. I need to have at least 30 dps in act 2 to be effective, if I dont, it takes too damn long to make it worth my while.

I know I can handle act 2 it's just that it's more efficient to farm act1 for the time being.

i tried to kill azmodan since he was killing me before the patch, but my dps dropped so much i couldnt reach him, so i cant really tell if its easier. gonna try act 3 from the start tonight.

I haven't tried Act 2 yet... that place was horrible. But Act 3 dropped in difficulty a lot.

I didn't notice too much of a dip in DPS myself because I don't use IAS items.
