I imagine if you wait until the patch hits you can do it quite easily with some decent armour/res gear. My wizard doesn't have any skills to regain hp but even with 9400 armour and 800 all res she's getting hit for 2-4k by most enemies, some 3-5k which is manageable with a little Frost Nova and Diamond Skin but still a problem when I get zerged by 10 Serpents. Elites? You would need some serious damage and health gain to survive them with a 2H weapon and a slight hit to armour/res. Health globes are just so unreliable for healing sometimes.

I'll try it after the patch tomorrow morning. I have no intention of getting a shield yet
Not seeing many choices of weapon upgrade for myself right now. Using a 900dps 2 handed with vit and str around 100 and 925 life on hit. Going to need to save for a long while to get anything worth upgrading to from a quick look.
that 900 life on hit is hard to beat
i tried 2hander before on nightmare and it was quite fun wacking enemies in one blow with overpower and exploding fallens but with inferno i doubt that will happen lol
Ok, now im kinda losing my patience.
Zombie bears are bugged, they hit everything, companion's, minions, even slopes, if you use zombie bears on a slope they just hit the slope in front of your face, they have already said they are not fixing until patch 1.0.4 which has no ETA, ridiculous.
And then i go and hear that when PvP hits, there will be nothing to it, there are no benefits, no rewards, no leaderboards, nothing, so what's the point?, Apparently the End game for D2 was all about getting your character the best gear, but i think after all these years people have moved on from such a simple game, there needs to be more to it, although, there wont be.
Im guessing there will be quite a few diablo fans that will still play this end game, a few months down the line, but i cant seem to get a feeling for whether ill be able to do the same thing week in week out, all the PvP needed was a leaderboard, a ranking system, something a little competitive on the side, which mite i add, would make allot of people happy, competitive sides of games are what brings allot of folk back for more.
yet again it looks like another game that has/had so much potential, blizzard are its downfall, ive defended them before, but **** it.
Not to mention, this is one problem out of one hundred, losing hope.

PvP in diablo3 was never going to be competitive. They've said this from the very beginning.
Plus you wouldn't want it to be competitive because then you're going to have blizz balancing things for PvP and PvE which isn't going to work, just look at WoWs imbalanced PvP.

What the?Really?
Yep and I bet you it'll be extended. Blizzard are so damn lazy, I know it didn't take this long for the US server.
My gear is pretty much all 60 and for yellow it was 18k, so I imagine it's not too crazy, but no more spending every penny on new gear!
Repair costs is going to make it really difficult to collect gold now. Lost 9k DPS from the attack speed nerf but the game seems much easier now (got into a act 4 hell public game for a few minutes before it kicked everyone)
Which seems retarded as you're meant to struggle with new challenges, then when you manage them you get rewarded with making it easier. This way it ends up more like HC where you'll farm for weeks to make sure the next stage is "easy" enough.
Spent a couple of hours making the whimsyshire staff last night, LOL it's hilarious!
Have upgraded it to nightmare, will do the same for Hell so that I can farm relatively good items following 1.0.3!
Am down to 4'000 gold after doing it, *GULP!*
Getting the blackmushroom and the glibbering gemstone was a *****!!!

Disagree, Diablo 1+2 was epic, same with Starcraft (even SC2 was very good!), Warcraft 2,3 etc
Take those nostalgia glasses off, they will hurt your eyes.
Even some of the most die hard fans can't make sense of some of these D3 changes.
The statement was "Blizzard have <swearie> every game they ever made" which isn't true.
I don't like the changes to D3, at all, but that doesn't stop me liking most of their previous titles, just because D3 seems to be going down the pooper
I got the black mushroom on my first ever run
had it sitting in my inventory for ages before I looked up what it was
