Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[FoxBat]

Blizzard wants to increase repair costs to discourage zerging, but what about the players aren't employing these kind of tactics and are actually trying their best to stay alive and play normally, but die over and over anyway due to the unavoidable death mechanics mentioned?

You are "zerging" by their definition whether you intend to or not. Pulling a boss near a waypoint or whatever and respawning many times over to gradually whittle it down because you have no other way of defeating them. Supposedly with enough gear you should survive more than one hit, but seeing as Blizzard didn't playtest a3-a4 after doubling the difficulty, they wouldn't know exactly how its supposed to shake out.

The thing Blizzard seems to be wising up to is 1/2-shot difficulty is not a good idea. Defensive gear should be viable and competitive for ranged softcore characters. If that happens with the incoming damage nerf to later inferno, then upping dying consequences may be a better idea. Although I think some of these crazy abilities need a nerf on their combinations, too much of a damage reduction to everything else won't have a good effect.

Of course, wanting expensive defensive gear to be desired by ranged characters is clearly being done solely to boost auction sales. And upping repair costs is to just encourage you to buy gold. . I'm wondering what wouldn't be interpreted as a sign of greed at this point.
