Question: Hell difficulty equipment...

[Roland]

With Roland's help, Rakanoth crumbled before he got that far through his attack sequence. He then carried me through the rest of Act IV with very little trouble (I swear, I would not have hesitated to quit the game and start again with a couple of those Elite groups we met). Apparently, enemies do not live long enough to hit you when you have enough DPS. Meh, where is the fun in playing the game properly?

It was interesting to see a different build playing alongside. I will definitely test a few tweaks on my build after seeing what Roland was doing.

Yeah... that Invunlerable Minions / wahetever / whatever Fallen Angel pack was less than fun, especially followed by the Illusionist / Extra Health / whatever meteor-dropping sorcerer guys that I had to solo right afterwards. I'll admit it got a little hairy a couple times, but such is the power of mods. Sometimes they can just wreck you, even if you're far out-geared for the situation. Also, getting frozen by multiple Izual frost bombs and then immediately smacked by half a dozen fallen angels in succession did not cooperate with my life total. Sloppy play on my part, but thankfully Big D was a piece of cake.

Glad to lend a hand, and hopefully those wonderful upgrades we found along the way will carry you onward. Experiment with skills and see what fits your style. I'm probably one of the only DHs who uses Bola Shot - I kinda pride myself on that - but Sentry has its uses, especially for boss battles. Just remember: everything's tied to your weapon, so if you have a crappy weapon ALL your skills are going to suck.
