I don't recall what date I entered Inferno difficulty was, but a lot of time was wasted trying to play in groups before Blizzard hotfixed mob damage while grouped - before that change, playing in groups larger than 2 was effectively impossible for me.
I mostly put that in because i've heard quotes of requiring millions of gold/years of farming to get necessary gear. It wasn't truly directed at you, and I apologize for that.
Everything you said is exactly my point though. Is just overall reducing the damage of everything really going to change anything? We know melee can get through inferno, it just requires a metric ton of gear or so. Simply lowering the amount doesn't change the fact it's like you said, a matter of gear and numbers. You've said it yourself, either melee is geared enough to look like a god, or undergeared and gets its ass kicked. I don't think changing that line is the solution to improving inferno. I would think it'd be better to make it so that line is blurrier, and you have the whole "I'm tanking it now...not sure for how long" feel.
I suppose I just wish they'd do class balance first before inferno changes, so probably just being selfish. I'm not actually just saying this from a DH perspective, this is also from my monk's perspective atm.
I admit, I may be incredibly biased though. I enjoy beating everything on the highest difficulty setting, whether it's mass effect insanity, tales of vesperia hard mode, or I wanna be the guy. My type of fun is...niche.
