Basic Math - The Failure of Diablo Melee

[Mavfin]

<great wall of text I didn't want to just copy again>

Just as an example, my DH in Act I Hell is running 26K health, and 2500 armor. The only thing I really hate are the leapers. Vortex sucks, but I just save my vault, and hopefully toward the nearest health globe. Frankly, I need more, and I'll get the gear for it soon.

I can't imagine how often I'd die *as a ranged class*, let alone a melee class if I only had 16K health, as Sirian had when he originally posted that the game was FAIL.
