tbh with ur stats soloing belial should be pretty easy
i'd suggest fists of thunder cause of the knockback though, helps alot against the adds

Quick question since I don't have a char at level 60 yet... (currently 59)
None of my skills show exactly the stat it gives, like Mantra of Evasion + armor would say "Grants a bonus amount of armor" instead of "Grants xx% bonus armor"

Does this not happen until I reach 60? or is there a setting on options to change this?

Thanks for the help !

hold ctrl while mousing over the skill/rune and it will show the exact stats.

Awesome Thank You for the help

for those going 1 handed. How high of a dodge % can you get? How do you increase it?

don't worry about resistances on belial. his poison bombs one shot you no matter what, so focus on HP and damage.

when i killed belial it took me about 40 attempts, getting to phase 3 with little to no problem on at least 30 of them. his poison bombs are just so annoying because you can get stuck.

my advice:
stack armor, HP and damage
use all your abilities/passive to decrease his damage done by 45%.
use serinity with 4 sec rune and save it for his poison bomb phase incase you get stuck or think you're about to get hit.

furthermore, i dropped my dual wield dodge/dps build for this fight. i focused on healing, and decreasing my damage taken. i put on a shield and got up to around 7100 armor while still maintaing 18k dps.
i used the summon dude to help with the add phase. also the heal with 15% dps increase. sweeping wind with increased damage, cripping wave with decrease damage done rune, and the passive that also decreases damage done by enemies hit.
i debated on using SSS as another get out of jail free card for his bomb phase incase i get stuck w/o serinity but ended up not needing it. you could experiement with it

learn his rotation and it should be NP except for the poison bombs



because of diminishing returns, the highest I can ever get at the moment popping all my dodge cooldowns is like 70%.
i use guardians path passive, dashing strike with dodge rune, mantra of evasion with backlash, and the first spirit generator with it's dodge rune.



go into options and then gameplay. enable advanced tooltips, and while you're there also make sure you have enabled elective mode

Guys, resolve vs transcendence ??? i cant decide...

what are your other two? what is your build? for which encounter/act/level/etc?

there isn't one end all be all spec. you will have to change it up. normally for farming inferno i don't use either of those, but on hard elites and bosses i will take both.

my other two are one with everything and seize the initiative and this is for inferno for farming in inferno,which ones are you using? and what primary ability?
