CC and kite heavy build. I’ve been stacking castspeed for the most part along with crit and a crit damage socket in the weapon. speed>int~vit>crit chance.
and walk speed is a mandatory stat on the shoes. I’ve 2,17 cast time, so I need one mana reg item (got 14 on weapon) to cover my mana cost.
atm I’ve 45,5k hp, 26,5k damage, 15,5% crit and 120% crit dmage (70% from gem + base value).
depending on the boss I change grasp/bomb/hex or something to BBV / Army / Haunt.
Dual wielding is only worth it if both weapons you have are similar in DPS numbers. Otherwise it’s a DPS loss to DW. The Guardian’s Path is pretty nice when DWing, though, due to the extra 15% dodge. Monks and Barbs are having a really tough time in Inferno past Act I. I tried my best to avoid going sword and board, but eventually succumbed to it when I found a good shield on the AH for cheap. It sucks that I’m forced to go a tank/kite build in order to survive Inferno, but I can’t really farm Act I forever…
I wouldn’t waste too much money on that build because it will obviously be nerfed soon. Just look at that video…that’s now how Inferno (or any mode for that matter) is supposed to be played.
Yeah I solo’d all of Act 1 inferno on my WD and it wasn’t really all that much harder than soloing Act 4 Hell. Soloing Act 2 Inferno gets quite a bit tougher. Those fucking Lacuni hunters and disappearing snake soldiers are a pain in the ass to deal with.
You guys soloing act 1 inferno, how are you dealing with the champion mobs? My wiz has pretty horrible gear aside from the 1h + offhand i bought off the AH as
soon as I hit lvl 60, 35k hp with ~20k dps. Regular enemies go down easily enough, but it seems like 90% of the champion ability mixtures I simply can’t deal with. I’m hoping it’ll get easier once I farm hell difficulty a few times to upgrade the other pieces of gear.
My regular kite method just doesn’t work since the mobs seem to always have jailer/vortex/wall and move way too fast. I really don’t want to have to resort to the critical mass with infinite frost nova bs b/c i know that shit isn’t going to last long.
Well what I’ve been doing is starting a game in ACT 1 inferno on the quest where you have to kill the Warden. (It’s the one right before you have to kill Butcher.) For some reason the Warden drops a ridiculous amount of loot and he’s easy as hell to kill.
What I do is I go to the Graveyard waypoint and visit the 3 surrounding crypts in the immediate area to get my Neph stack up to 5. The rares in these crypts are pretty easy, very rarely do you come across OP ones and the Crypts give you a lot of room for kiting. After 5 stacks of Neph, Warden and Butcher drop a lot of yellows. Last night doing this netted me this pretty thing.
Also this pretty boss chestpiece. Too bad no INT on it, tho.
galatic thanks for the info. ive been farming that now with my mf gear on, warden drops like 4 yellows and 10 blues, its crazy. butcher usually drops like 2 yellows. need to gear up cause act 2 inferno elite mobs destroy me.
