Subject: RE: The Witch Doctor is growing on me....

I keep forgetting I'm leveling a WD as well...

Thing is, I'm seriously trying to complete this game in inferno with the DH but I'm a bit bogged down at the moment in act 3. Previously I was brick walled at Ghom who is an absolute bastard in 1.0.3 inferno, I had to figure out this wacky DH tanking build that by all practical purposes will only ever work on Ghom, I managed to kill the bastard just the other day.

But by golly, I know you and Sim are getting some hefty 10 - 20k repair bills in act 1, well mine are shooting upwards of 50 to 60k on act 3, and this is on a single elite fight. I'm literally having to go back to act 1, grind for lvl 60 ~ 63 stuff, salvage everything and sell the mats on the AH for about 400k profit + gold found for each run which is about 600k total per each completion of act 1. This 600k will give me about 3 hours or so of act 3 game time before I have to blow it all on repairs and have to go back to act 1 again.

The retarded elite affix combos that sometimes give us problems on act 1 become ultra retarded with the souped up act 3 mobs, god help you if you get an elite or champion soul ripper pack.

The other problem is that I'm trying not to progress too much by myself, I'm playing it with the Steam denizens but that bunch is hideously underpowered for the area, and I mean treasure goblins just outright waltz away because there's simply not enough dps.

I may just have to give solo a try, I'm fairly sure I could get all the way up to act 4 and end up getting stuck on either Rakanoth or Izual, both of which are an absolute pain in the ass for DH players.
