I have not seen Inferno, but it is still very clear that RedRadical's stats are not up to snuff. Several times in Nightmare difficulty I lost 20K in a single hit. In Nightmare. You do not have to have played in Inferno to know that enemies will hit harder. If 20K is something you can face in Nightmare, then 33K health does not sound enough for Hell difficulty, let alone Inferno.
I am currently in Act I/Hell, still with 22K health, and I can already tell this is nowhere near enough. I just (literally) faced a Jailer/Waller/Invulnerable Minions/Fast Rare group and they did 1/3 health per hit (and were a PITA to take out: Invulnerable Minions is plain stupid). I aim to hit 30K by the end of Act II/Hell; I am seriously considering going Hand Crossbow/Shield too, as I am not happy with my defences (37% damage reduction, 26% dodge). If RedRadical's character were mine, I would regear just for Hell difficulty, let alone Inferno.
As an aside, is it just me, or do enemies have a general increase in speed as you go up the difficulties. In Hell difficulty, even though both my mouse buttons put 60% Slow on enemies, they are still moving at the same speed as me; Fast enemies remain faster than me with the debuff. This seems kind of stupid, and I can imagine boots with increased movement speed will be a priority for me in Inferno.
