Not drastically, no.  Beams *definitely* do less damage now, by at least around 50% or so.  It used to always hit me for 5 digits in a3, now only 4 digits.


i don't notice a difference and my resists haven't changed more than 50~

Alright and now I'm stuck at the beginning of siege breaker. I can't touch any elite packs with desecrator/plague/ or arcane. Arcane basically kills me in 1 second. Is this normal or am I missing something?


To directly answer this: you're not supposed to get hit by them.

Got a question, if anyone would be so kind to help,
Basically Im struggling about which 1h I should buy, I dont have unlimited funds but I can either get a 8-900 dps wep with 300-600 LOH with maybe a socket to improve LOH even more) or I can get a close to 1.1k dps 1her with no LOH.

My stats are 870 AR, 42k HP, 35 block, 15% melee dmg reduction, 5k armor all and 16k dps unbuffed.

Basically my question is; Is LOH worth the huge DPS dip?

Yea, but looking at my stats, and well from experience, staying alive is not really a problem, I basically facetank everything in act 1-3 with very few exceptions (depending on the affix ofcourse), will 1000 LOH make a huge difference and enable me to facetank everything in act 3?

LoH is only needed in 3/4player groups when its nice for the group for u to stand still an tank everything while they nuke. If u play solo you can skip LoH and go dmg ( if you have the gear) im talkin to go pure dps mantras ect ul need 900 AR 45k+ health ul need to dodge arcane frost while u dont have cds other wise u just nuke for 4 seconds run for 4 and repeat an stuff dies fast with minimal kiting

If you're getting killed by Desecrator fire, molten fire, plague pools and arcane lasers, chances are you are using the wrong skill. Switch to Deadly Reach + Keen Eye rune, and learn to Shift attack vs mobs from a few feet away. It's called Deadly reach for a reason, it has REACH. You will no longer be standing in places that kill you.

Also, save your 3 second invisibility for when the arcane laser is almost going to hit you. That way you don't have to stop attacking and move. If it's not available, and you can't walk out further to avoid the lasers, walk right through them in the direction they are coming from. It shouldn't hit you for more then half your life. When your on the other side of the laser, heal either by BOH or a potion. For desecrator fire or plague pools, if you happen to be standing in it, just stop attacking, take 1 step to the side, and shift attack some more. It's pretty easy. Try to never run away from mobs, that's when they tend to hurt you the most. Try to always be a few feet away. Never too close, never too far :)

Use earth ally, and always summon him so he's standing between you and the enemy. Since your shift attacking while standing still from a small distance, there will always be room for your meat shield to be between you. Trust me, this helps a lot ! When I figured this out, it made area's like the Keep a total joke. Just learn to position your ally right in the doorway, while your standing a few feet behind him shift attacking.

Of course, all this is based on you already having high enough resists, armor, and LOH to actually be able to tank a decent amount of damage. If you're super weak, nothing will save you. If your stats are pretty good, but are still dying, adopt my tips and you'll walk through areas where you used to get raped.
