Lost my first hero today. Lv 59 Wizard, internet connection went down and the single herald of pestilence that was onscreen killed me while I timed out

Oh well, time to test out my leveling kit again

[Roranora]

ohno Wiz '-';;;;;;

did you archive it? finally grow a third tab? XD

bummer about the wiz d/c death, but WD still immortal-ish

[aurik]

Yeah, archived I don't have enough room on my active roster to leave ghosts around.

New wizard already to A2 / lv 16.9. Probably can get it to nightmare+ tonight!

[Fireal]

awwww sorry aurik. sux hard. glglglglgl with new wiz

[Fireal]

Bagels- I usually have gf aggro by then on weekdays. I play a lot on weekend mornings/afternoons tho if you play then

[Oxyminus]

Fireal -- be careful. Those champ mobs with Waller vortex frozen vampiric, with an occasional desecrator affix can be rough! I'm generally trying to cut down on my daytime/afternoon playtime, but, I like playing co-op games so I'm trying to keep my wiz around the same lvl as other people. We'll meet
Up sooner or later!

[Syntex]

So I think I'm the 2nd furthest on BG now in HC.

He was a lot easier then I thought. Grabbed a frenzy shrine right before the fight and laid into him. not even 90 seconds into the fight he bit it. They made him waaaaay too easy.

Lag and whatnot stopped me from trying Magda. She will die another day.

I am scared to try anything past her tho. I bullshit my way to the city by hugging walls and whatnot. I refuse to fight a champ pack in A2! Although at some point I'll have no choice. :/

[Rhyis.]

Nice work. WotB/WC/Earthquake is definitely the safest way to kill him.

[aurik]

Bleh lag. Wanted to hit NM on my wiz tonight. Oh well, better safe than sorry.

[Fireal]

I feel pretty safe so far in a1h. Only in the fields of misery, but haven't had any scares and I still 1 shot everything. 25% movement speed is a godsend for kiting. Only had to zone ainvulnerable minions so far. I get confused with those and just hightail it outta there. Idk wut else to do w

[Roranora]

Focus fire! 100% pierce attacks help ensure you at least get some damage done to the Rare with every click that is true, regardless of minion placement

Or run

@Q@;

so I have to leave to another job at 4am tomorrow, gone probably another 18-20hr. wtf work, quit it. i wanna d3

[miokomioko]

I would say it mostly depends on the mob type. Sometimes you'll get lucky and the minions are just spread out, fuckin' around while you wail on the rare (like those insects). Then there's shitty mob types like a Covent because their minions will be the little summoned demon spawn that get up in your grill while the rare stays at a distance.

I can manage to take on a few elite packs at a time right now (Lv.55 monk in Act II Hell) thanks to Serenity and Seven-Sided Strike (which has the nice side-effect of making you briefly untargetable/invulnerable) but I still occasionally end up resetting my game when I get a really shitty pack like Vortex + Plagued + Invulnerable Minions and get chased into the nearest dungeon/building. Being unable to build resources off the minions is a massive inhibitor.

[Syntex]

I can usually burn down a Invul Minion pack quickly with WOTB.

Only when they are arcane enchanted are they dangerous.

[r4ptur3]

congrats syn!

[Fireal]

i take back my no scary moments blahblahblah a1 hell. i don't think i'm gonna venture into caves anymore unless i have to. so small and tight and demon hunter so squishy. i didn't die, but mortar jailer extrafast leaper things no fun jailed bombarbed superredcallofdutydangerdangerdanger battlescars potion caltrops hithit vaultvaultvault zone t esc leave game alttab hardcored3panicattack

[Vuitton]

I hate caves, too. I got fenced in and died to an arcane enchanted mob on my last Wizard. Now I keep teleport up just in case.....

[Plow]

ignoring invuln minion packs is definitely the general way to go with DH, ball lightning (our only decent 100% pierce) is just too slow moving to use on shit that moves side to side as much as big clumps like that always do
