Demon Hunters have been nerfed over and again; so far, I have managed to dodge every bullet 
No DPS loss as I was not exploiting IAS (it was obviously going to be nerfed quickly), but my DPS is pretty pathetic anyway.
Between Elites I still cannot kill and my continuing inability to get reasonable drops, I have had enough. Perhaps the next patch will make the game fun, but for the moment I honestly cannot find a single positive about it. Hopefully Torchlight 2 is better and able to scratch this itch for me.
I feel like a complete idiot. I thought by searching for items on the auction house, I could just go to the latter pages and see the low-end costs. Apparently not. I thought there was not a single item for sale below hundreds of millions of gold. I tried setting the maximum buyout to 100,000... holy crap, affordable upgrades, and here I am with 400,000 to splurge!
In minutes, I doubled my DPS at a minor cost of life and resistances. I have not seen an enrage timer since, get my five stacks in next to no time, then have plenty of time to spare for actually using that. With magic/rare items out the wazoo, I was finally getting good drops (oddly enough). I have even upgraded two items from those drops (nothing fantastic, but +dex and +vit on higher armour is an upgrade!) bringing my life back up to where it was
I have noticed an odd bug while farming. I have seen many Elite groups where their attributes were not listed. They were tossing mortars or whatever, but their life bar/title was the same as any other creature. Purely cosmetic, but adds some nasty surprises.
