Sigh, why are there hidden immunities, what purpose does it serve?
Hmm, sounds like a Bow only Zon will be more frustrating than its worth to play in hell.
Let's face it, with the Immo timer the fire tree is pretty much useless and there is no lightning tree for Bow only Zons and trying to whittle away the massive HP total for Hell Cold Immune critters with a Skystrike is simply an exercise in frustration.
So LF,FA hybrids will be the way to go. So much for discouraging cookie cutters.
I've been playing in 1.10 Act one hell for a week now and I'm even more convinced that Blizz has pooched this one. The risk - reward balance in Hell is way out of whack.
They've ramped the aggresiveness, damage and life of the critters through the roof but have not increased the rewards for killing them.
They've decreased the experience above lvl 70 and have not really done much about drops.
If I spend 15 minutes and 150k ( merc revives ) killing a boss pack I expect some king of decent reward - not normal blues. Hell level monsters should drop hell level gear - if I see one more white longbow drop....
If you're going to make hell that much harder fine, but if you don't increase the payoff it's simply not worth the extra effort.

Some people are like slinkys, not really good for anything but you just can't help but smile when you see them tumble down the stairs.
