If it does this, it is a) not very well advertised and b) pretty stupid. I haven't noticed anything to suggest it hits for less after the initial hit and if anyone had actually used Ball Lightning they would know, just like Nether Tentacle, it has the potential to hit the same target multiple times. I may try out Nether Tentacle again but my experience so far with Act 2 is if I get hit I die so what use is life steal?

And no I don't bother with hatred generating attacks. Bat Companion + Templar + equipment has given me 8.6 ish (and my gear is extremely poor and in dire need of an upgrade). I am finding many occasions where I start to run low on Hatred lately but I think this is more due to my terrible equipment meaning that Ball Lightning/Impale/Caltrops aren't doing enough damage so I use more than necessary.

I've seen it stated quite a few times about the ball lightning damage but I haven't done the math myself. I've read things about the 155% damage being only if it hits a target twice and that it's just another bugged/error tooltip. So essentially it hits at around 75% compared with NT which hits at 155% with each hit. And with NT, if it crits, it'll crit everything it hits which afaik Ball Lightning doesn't do. That's why it's a staple in many builds, if you find the reduced damage/possible stun to be more useful then okay, but typically NT does more damage and thus when you're trying to down mobs as quick as possible, it seems like the better damage choice.

Oh right. That's something I haven't seen before. Have you had to sacrifice other stats in order to get the hatred regen or have you managed to bag some good deals/items?
 
Right guys. Any lvl 60 monks out there that want to share there build. Im struggling so much on Act 1 inferno

I have no money to buy gear and every rare I find is rubbish!

Farming is like grinding. Doing stuff repetitively like the same area to try and get a certain drop or lots of gold.

Stacking is like getting more NV buffs to use for a certain purpose like farming bosses.

I think I understand the 1st point.
You scour an area for everything it has to offer and batter the tough dudes then exit the game & do it again?

I'm only L54 so haven't got NV yet (L60?) so I'm still unsure about stacking:o

Stacking is just when you get a buff (like NV) multiple times. So NV can stack up to 5 lots, giving you 15% times 5 MF and GF. :)

So basically, the ammount of benefit you can get is capped, but you still have to farm champion packs to get up to 5 stacks. :)
 
Tip for MF: Have a second set with as much MF as possible, wait until rare pack is near dead, run away and switch to MF set, come back and chip away until dead. Works great!

Did you guys know that there are some people who only pay this on hardcore. Start in hardcore normal and progress all way to Inferno.

THat is very brave way to play.

Heh, aye.

No way I could play Hardcore, I'd die a little inside if my character was dead and I made it all the way to inferno... all those hours down the drain :p
 
Any DH's fancy giving me a valuation on this?

Edit: Nevermind, apparently it's not worth much according to AH xD

Now have had 4 recipe's drop for me... Exalted Helm, Shield and mail(2). If only they were the fine or grand versions :( Anyway, if anyone wants to use the BS, just ask :)

I have had major lag spikes this evening and got d/c twice. Might be the servers or might be my ISP?

don't know but its flippin annoying - may leave my next attempt on Diablo till later when maybe quieter on the servers

so annoying when DRM gets in the way of you playing or completing a game .. being booted out randomly is (1) stupid design and (2) annoying

pretty much spot on.

Agreed. I understand that they didn't want people just fighting bosses, but it almost defeats the point of the bosses themselves. Especially as far as the story is concerned, they're supposed to be the strongest demons. Add in the lack of variety in bosses. When you compare the different stages and the way the third phase changes the perspective on Belial, and then look at the rest of them which are pretty much just attack attack attack.

There's nothing wrong with a certain randomisation in loot, but they've taken it too far. There's a chance that something rare will drop, there's a chance that it'll be for your class, there's a chance that it'll have appropriate stats, and there's a chance that it'll have a decent amount of those stats. It's just too much!
 
Anyone whos past belial on inferno mind giving me a hand beating it? Died more times than i can remember now pretty sure im geared for it just useless at dodging his attacks.
 
any high lvl witch doc here?
