Diablo 3 - Page 11

I can't beat diablo. Level 32 demon hunter normal mode. Any clues?
I started the game over from the beginning and it took me all the way to belial before I reached level 33.
So far I've found one legendary item, a helm. Over Powered demon hunter early in the game is a hoot. Just fire off the electric bolt and watch it zap everything on the screen in one shot.

He'll rip a DH apart up close. You need to keep moving. Respec for the fight.

Put hungering arrow on left click, so you don't have to be precise and you can shoot at him while he's off screen at just let the arrows home in.

Put impale on right click to dump all your hatred into him and do as much damage as quickly as possible.

Throw down a sentry, to whittle him away. Definitely use the arrow rain every 30 seconds.

Above all, use vault or smokescreen to just keep away from him.

Diablo is actually a pretty easy fight, but you need a ton of patience because he takes a long time to kill and you need to kite constantly. If you start getting impatient and try to "risk" your kiting to do some damage, you are probably going to get 1-2 shot.

I don't have DH experience, but make sure you equip at least 3 defensive / kiting abilities, and rotate between them.

There are 2 health buckets on the main map, make sure you kite back and forth so that these are available to you if you need them.

Try to move perpindicular to him rather then moving backwards away. He shoots that fire ability which goes straight until it hits you, so you need to be moving up/down in relation to him so that it misses.

When the floor things start rumbling just run and don't try to do damage. Dodge all the cages or you'll eat big damage. If you get caught, start spamming a defensive ability so that right after he does his headbutt thing, you can get away and recover.

Thanks, I did notice that moving in a figure 8 pattern rather than in a circle kept diablo far away from me like you said perpendicular, but if I stop moving for more than a second then the cages get me and it's game over. I get to the shadow part of the fight and then my shadow clone kills me pretty quick. I might make level 34 before I reach diablo again. Maybe my new legendary helm will be the key. It's not going to be my awsome skills with keyboard and mouse, thats for sure.

You could also make a trip to the AH and gear up. Buy gear with vit as one of the stats so you have a bit more of a health cushion when you make mistakes.

Are you using the Templar follower? I always use him and have him trained with all the health/survivability spells.

Yeah, the health fountains are key. It's going to be very difficult not to get badly hurt at least a few times, probably more often than your potions cool down.

Play with one other person and diablo won't be able to even touch you. I feel as if this game is meant to be played with others vs alone.

Have a guy up close ( Barbarian ) and have a guy from affair ( wizard ) and you will destroy pretty much any boss out there.

I have been using the Templar as my 'tank' for most of the game. Problem is when I went to say hello to diablo my templar and eventually the angel that ran in there with me were caught in a cage. So it was me all alone before the fight even started.

It seemed to me like the follower was deliberately taken away from you. He was all like "go on without me!"....so I did.

Oops! I forgot about this when I posted, no he definitely does not want to help you fight Diablo.

"Hmm, fight Diablo huh? Uhh... I think... my mom is calling... Oh hey! I got caught in a cage, definitely can't help you. Sorry!"

God, if you want to destroy things, do a barbarian....using a 2hander, on nightmare, I had Diablo dead in 3mins30seconds, (all 3 phases). You do have to be smart in phase 3 and step out of the lightning, but GG on wrath of the berserker. Asmodean was even more nuts...about 45 seconds, just standing in everything .

LOL thanks Dashboard. I have a few friends with Witch doctors, so I will just run with them instead of rolling and leveling one .

Do you guys think it is better to use a two handed weapon with the barbarian or a one handed and a shield for protection/bonuses. I am torn.

This is on normal, but also interested in nightmare as I will be hitting it soon.

I personally don't like using a two handed weapon. It isn't as fast and doesn't do as much damage as dual weapons.

"Farming?"

You did play previous versions of the game right?

Ok, I will go easy on you... this time.

"Farming" is the process of clearing out an area multiple times in the hope that a unique or rare item would be dropped... This is similar to doing "Boss Runs" over and over again, as some areas of the game tend to drop better items than others. Usually when doing this you would load up on any items in your inventory that would increase your magic find %. This was quite commonly done in D2.

Nope.

Really?

Who has the highest hardcore char?

Took these suggestions and smoked Diablo on the first go. Level 32 Monk.
