Hope good legendaries like storm shield will still be good.

I'm thinking the only hotfix we'll see is that Frost Nova (and possibly any other immobilization skills) will not fully apply to act bosses, and possibly sub-bosses like SK, Mahgda, etc. It would take a pretty sizable about of crit rate+ gear to pull off what he's doing to Diablo there. Or maybe they'll just nerf Frost Nova so it only slows mobs, instead of immobilizing them.

Probably. It's honestly super easy to do, all you need is some IAS gear and +crit chance. The build pretty much works itself, you just hold down the button for living lightning and wail on your diamondskin or nova.

It takes hardly any +crit, you can get 10% naked and those two abilities combined hit more than fast enough to make even 15% crit completely viable. I think it's much more likely they'll just limit the passive to only proc every 2-3 seconds or something.

Crazy. I would think they'd have caught stuff like that during internal testing >.>

Anybody getting fucked by Izual for no fucking reason? I facerolled him a couple of hours ago, and now for some reason he's kicking my ass. He's haxing too. Did they break him in the patch?

gotta make sure you aren't in his direct line of fire.. he's got that 'charge your ass/kill you in one hit' move.. so just gotta sort of stay across the pits from him so he can't get through you.

**Deadgye** · 2012-05-24 18:03

The problem was that he was charging me sideways... my fight with diablo after showed me what was happening. I was running behind diablo as he was doing his lightning attack and I was taking damage. Then when he was almost done with it I teleported back to in front of him. The game has apparently just been rubber banding me without even displaying it.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-05-24 18:25

Izual explained to me why being a melee in d3 is a terrible idea. Then I switched to a tanky-build, called in my wizard buddy, and he explained it to me again. My wizard buddy then proceeded to sit on the other side of the pits and wear him down. I have since become a ranged-tank-barb. Throw Weapon is my Fury dump! Of course, I can't get fury while kiting, so I'm still pretty goddamn useless. But at least I'm not dead!

I wouldn't say this is entirely true, at least for vs Diablo. For groups of mobs, its definitely true, but you need a lot of +crit and +ias for it to work against a single mob like Diablo.

source: I did this last night, lol. I never tried with much less than +30~crit, but I did try without double +ias/+crit rings (in addition to the +ias i already had) at first. Although it would work for awhile, you only need to get screwed on the RNG once to die (everything he has will 1 shot). So making it through all 3 phases without that happening with suboptimal stuff would be quite difficult/luck based.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2012-05-24 19:26

Actually, I've been playing through Hell some (Izual was NM) and I'm pretty pleased with this tanky Throw Weapon build. With War Cry I can actually get some fury while kiting, and there's usually some trash around. With Ricochet rune I can keep up to three mobs dazed, making it easier to kite elite packs.

We'll see how long it lasts, though. My builds have evolved quite a lot as I've found various ways to be raped.

Barb is getting less and less easy to play

Act1 Hell, and a pack with invincible minions, and the main guy walls and recovers..
