A word about act 2, I've been playing there some and some in Act I. I spent about a week in Act 1 where I didn't die, or really come close and Act 2 is a big step up. I'm trying to change things to judge Act 2 difficulty in Act 1. So far running without energy armor at all and leaving a rune off diamond skin is easier than Act 2 with the full build.
Certain monster types are just death incarnate. Lacuni Huntress with horde? I couldn't even stop to cast 2 things. Bees with mortar / waller / jailor / arcane? Bees stay at range, you get close to one, the others are mortaring you.
Act 2 is not just about the damage increase, but the base monster types are in a different class. I'd honestly gear for Act III in Act I and get through Act II in a straight shot... if you can.
I was at 7.2k / 725 min resist / 40k life / 19k unbuffed DPS and dying to certain packs like those above. I parked the huntresses. Something defensive in lieu of magic weapon feels like a must have.
