If you are having a hard time in Diablo 3 past normal mode,
here are some tips that you can follow:
1) Try playing in a party
Despite increasing the damage, and health of monsters,
playing in a party has a lot of benefits. In a party, I find it easier to play
through the levels and somehow manage to survive longer or not even die at all.
This is probably because of the skills of each class working together bringing
down tough elite packs instead of the usual kiting or running and dying when
skills are all on cooldown. In addition, playing in a party allows players to
resurrect each other hence giving another chance for all those mistakes,
misclicks or just plain bad luck that could happen versus act bosses such as Belial
in hell and inferno.
2) Repeat farming areas that are easy to do
If the player is having a hard time progressing especially
in inferno, it is best to farm on the easier places to gear up and get more
gold. For example, inferno act 2 is way more difficult than inferno act 1, so
it might be a good idea to run a few skeleton kings rather than trying to
progress to act 2 where all of the monsters simply hurt the player a lot and
take a lot of time killing. This is a Diablo game, so much of the end game content
revolves around farming for good items and perhaps PVP when it is implemented.
3) Skip monsters or elites that are very difficult to kill (in
time the player will have his/her revenge)
People say that experience is the best teacher, and true
enough I have had quite a lot of crazy elite fights that feel next to
impossible to do. For instance, I have faced a bat boss with molten, plagued,
vortex, invulnerable minions, horde. They were literally all over the place; it
became next to impossible to target the main elite while trying to avoid lava
trails and poison pools and getting sucked right next to them. I do like a
challenge and so after more than 10 deaths, the boss finally died. However, I
believe this is cost ineffective as the time it took me to kill the boss and
the gold lost due to repairs compared to the mediocre loot that the boss
dropped was totally not worth it. The only saving grace was the fact that I
have beaten a crazy ass boss, and that is all. If the player has unlimited
supply of gold, then by all means go ahead, but for everyone else, it would be
best to skip them or try to run past them, if not just reset the game. I
believe once the player has better or top of the line gear, then they could
possibly beat all these near impossible combinations without much struggle.
4) Be wary of the surroundings
In Diablo 3, there are a lot of traps and nasty surprises
that await the player at every corner. It is best for the player to slowly
proceed through the map or move carefully rather than running at full speed and
recklessly setting off traps or luring more unseen monsters like burrowing
leapers or imps. Believe me, nothing is more annoying than dying to a nasty trap
or environmental trap such as the slime spewer found in act 2 caves. I probably
have died countless number of times to that in inferno where it usually 1-hit
kills my wizard.
5) Save up on gold
Sometimes players tend to forget their gold is limited. They
tend to splurge over items that are not really too important or buying a lot of
crafting materials that they do not even need yet. Surely, it would not be a
bad idea if the player has a lot of gold but more often than not, they do not. Always
remember to have spare gold for repairs, crafting, removal of gems or that
great deal that can be found at the auction house (I actually found quite a lot
of great items at the auction house, but I could not afford it as their prices
were around 200,000 and above but very cheap for their worth).
Thanks for spending time to read this post and have fun
playing Diablo 3.
