    I mean, try this with one of those Ravenous Dead in OT. They are very slow. Turn on display damage numbers. Stand next to one. They raise their arm to hit. Their animation is slow enough for me to move out of range (like I would do in any other ARPG) before it hits. So I'm like 2 meters away when the blow still connects and damages me.

    Of course, stuff doesn't kill me or whatever, it's just annoying. If you've played other ARPGs extensively, this shit is so counter-intuitive lol.
    May be a minor lag issue, but I've noticed with things that cast meteor (or similar) in A4 that I can be out of the displayed blast radius prior to the spell finishing and still get hit. This has been problematic at points. x.x

    Frankly, this wouldn't bother me at all if the blast radius of Diablo's fireball was based on the fireball's position and not yours. As it stands now not only do you get hit by the fireball you have the whole fire patch to run through no matter what :\

    I've had a rough day with some other people I've recently pulled in to HC. They're liking and getting better and definitely progressing. And both say they can't go back to normal mode, but they still traveling the learning curve of HC.

    It's just a different type of sustained concentration. You know, people can be awesome and untouchable when they're really focused, but that's always up and down, and your minimum level of focus and defensiveness has to be higher. They've had a few dumb A1 deaths trying to hastily get back to where they were.

    a wife aggro death, a UPS man at the door (and just hit T, but didn't watch it finish) death, and a cornered wiz death late in A2. No deaths for me since the first night disconnect death, but it's certainly slowed the day.

    I see Aurik tearing up A3.

    The real question is who will world first clear inferno on HC.

    I honestly think it will be easier then most people think because the boss fights are a joke if you understand the mechanics. The issue is wading through all the crap to get to that point.

    Almost always a very thorough corner-to-corner clear of each area before proceeding. I plow through cutscenes and dialog in early A1 I know everyone knows. But as for the combat, make the most of what is loaded and placed in each area.

    that sucks rata, fortunately a lv 16 can be made in 3-5 hours so not that bad of a loss. Still sucks though

    Beat Diablo this morning as well (last night was having a bit of latency so decided to wait).

    Solo 31 WD / 4444 hp / ~55% mitigation (~60% with dogs up, which they were for most of the fight)
    Spec: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...eYT!ZdW!aZaZbZ

    No problem whatsoever with the fight; probably dropped below 3k life only twice when I got caged.

    Now I get to chill out in A1 NM where the monsters are slow and pose little danger, instead of hectic crazy act 4.

    I'll probably be leveling my wizard from 5 late tonight or tomorrow, along with gentle A1NM farming for money.

    guess i'll beat up a2 with barb. DH coming back very soon. before monk start. Scyleia was dominating; carelessness and awful group play got me pinched off


    since Eury #1 was a disconnect death, here's our first archived hero '.'


    Scyleia added a lot of value to the acct, for sure. still angsty about some items i let go. my bow was only meh though. armor/helm real nice
