A few ideas of how to save D3

[Roland]

Anyhow, the Jury's still out and my original post was more of a goofy "holy cow this is hard" statement. I'll be sure to give it more time and I'm thinking grouping up with some range DPS will help.

Get me an ~800 base DPS weapon, then we'll talk. I'm bidding on a ~630 DPS weapon (current one is ~530), so that should boost me up pretty close to 13k DPS. I'm hoping that will allow me to farm Act I Inferno for mats, gold, etc. (remember, DH's have to kite like mad, so you need more DPS because you have zero sustain).

OTOH, I guess that proves to me that no amount of defense is going to save my poor DH. There's just no way I can approach that kind of tanking, so I might as well go full-boat offense. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping to keep upgrading my gems (currently sporting 50/50 Flawless Square / Perfect Square), and just incrementally upgrade my weapon (and other stats where I can). At least I got to Inferno on my own - that's something.
