Struggling to get a hard copy up here in Newcastle too. It's almost as if Blizz/Acti are forcing you to download the digital copy which is 30% more expensive!

How much health do you have? I have 55kish HP and tend to get 2-4 hit dependant on mob and if i pot/prep heal.

I am doing fine in Act 1, don't die at all now unless i do something stupid and get caught.

Act 2 is just damn right naughty.

around 25k, been focusing on getting my damage and armor/resistances up instead of HP since pots become useless when it gets so high.

I was relying on smoke screen + lingering to get around but since the nerf its been so much tougher.
 
I changed from LF to SR (special recipy I think thats what it's called, reduces cost by 2);the extra 2 dis plus buffs from my xbow means I can use SS 4/5 times before having to use Prep. THe extra 0.5 second from LF just isn't worth it post nerf. I'm also considering dropping an offensive skill (probably Impact, I rely on elemental arrow for everything these days) for vault with the cooldown rune as a backup escape plan.

What are DH like to play in Inferno?

I hit Act II last night so am about to hit the hard part. Act I wasn't too bad. I have a friend I play with though who's barbarian. He plays it well and tanks mobs while I try and DPS them down. Depending on the ability of the elite groups though some are OK the others are hard or impossible. Had one group where they were blocking our path and the only solution was to exit and restart the game :(

Still, I love the DH. They rock. I find though SS and Vault are pretty much life savers.
 
Finding Inferno much fun on my Monk. I mainly play with a barb friend and he is having a much harder time of it than me. Whilst fighting a pack of champs or an elite he can die 3 or 4 times while I kite/kill them waiting for him to come back. Act 2 is definitely a step up though.

Currently struggling a bit with 450 resist all 31k hp and 11k dps. I begrudge buying stuff off the AH but dont know if I can be bothered to farm act 1 just to get some more dex/resist/vit armour pieces.

There are some crazy high figures for HP and DPS being mentioned here.

I'm on act 2 of nightmare, and my monk is getting about 4-5k health, and 200-400dps depending on how i kit him up (with either gear focused on hp or on damage). This is at level 38.

Does this sound about right?

think I was around there at start of NM on my monk, it quickly ramps up once you get higher level. My DPS and HP has doubled since I started hell, and I'm not even through act 1 yet
 
Horrible runs of Siegebreaker today :/

Not 1 good item in 5 hours, not even a blue. I can't even remember getting a decent bit of armor either in the past few days - all the stuff I make money off is weapons. Armor I tend to get is like: 124 Stength, 67 Dexterity, 40 Lightning Resistance, +2500 HP on globes. Instant vendor fodder :p

Act 1 not too bad. I've got myself some decent resists and i can do butcher runs easily.
Act 2 is where you will be one shot by almost everything. I have 50% Physical Resistance and 37k HP, i die in one shot.

Do DH's still rely on Smoke Screen BTW?
I've hardly ever used it, found it pretty terrible tbh, i prefer Vault + lower cost rune and Caltrops + 2 Second root rune. I seem to have more control over an area this way. Ohh and i also love Mines with long fuse, 80k crits are amazing!
 
DH are really easy to play in inferno, you just stack DPS stats only, and kill things before they touch you. If they get near, you smokescreen and then leap away.

Needs more nerfing imo.
 
Having a tough time on inferno act II with my barb, its ramped up pretty severely compared to act I. I dont want to go with one of these ranged builds using weapon throw or slam but I might have to at this rate.
 
Does anyone know of any site that has all the stat caps?, I've gone and bought all the highest Intelligence and vitality items i can, and attack speed, but I've kinda neglected crit chance and crit damage, i have 2180 intelligence, apparently over 1900 int the scaling of it starts dropping, i only have 18% crit chance which looks painful, so im guessing i need to drop a few hundred int and go and find some crit items with lower int, but im curious to see what al the other caps are before i waste any more.

Check out Qik on his stream: http://nl.twitch.tv/qik1

He's currently soloing Act 2 and farming Belial for drops/gold. He still dies a few times but does generally very well. Has links to his gear and skills if you wanted to check it out.
