Great guide, really helpful.

For those of us looking to upgrade our gear, do you have any suggestions about where to farm for items or gold?

fuck you rock

e/ but a few questions:

(a) You forgot diamond skin in your force armor calcs? Diamond skin can save you a lot of hp if you combine it with low hp and low regen. or it just dont work like that anymorE?

(b) Luke has 20k Hp. Suddenly, he loses his footing as the ground under his feet trembles and welts, sending a shroud of sand so thick no eye could hope to see. A roar that breaks spines into pieces could be heard. Luke peers through the now dispensed dust and sees something too terrifying for words--three skeletal beings linked by chains that stared right into his eyes. Death, it meant. Before he could escape, one hits him with an attack intended to deal 10k damage. His magical barrier, however, holds up, and his life only drops by 35%, to 13k hp. He flees for an instant, chewing on an energy bar and healing up to his full 100% health. The beings, however, would not give up, and chased him down. This time, a critical shot of 21k damage landed right into Luke's face--instakill.

How it actually works (worry not, story-time is over):

Ex. 1: Luke has 10k Hp. Luke is hit for 9k damage. Force Armor reduces that to only 35% of his health--leaving him with 6500 Hp.
Ex. 2: Luke has 10k Hp. Luke is hit for 15k damage. Force armor absorbs 10k (the maximum amount of Hp Luke has) of that 15k damage and leaves him with 5k Hp.
Ex. 3: Luke has 10k Hp. Luke is hit for 20k damage. Force armor absorbs 10k of that 20k damage--leaving him with 0 Hp.

Cool? Cool.

--> So wouldnt the 21k crit leave Luke with 19k life instead of instakill? :S :S

(c) So the way force armor works is that up to damage equaling 100% of your life but not less than 35% of it, it reduces it to 35%, and then between 100 - 200% of your life it absorbs fully? I still dont get it 100%

Why is blizzard considered superior to energy twister? Is it just the ability to kite, as opposed to standing and casting? Twisters can be stacked, doing a ton more dmg.

That's the point. A lot of people think he would just die, because the damage outweighs his life--but he wouldn't.

Any damage above 35% of your life (that's not above 100% of your life) is reduced to only 35% damage to life. Any damage that's above 100% perfect of your life Force Armor Absorbs damage equal to 100% of your life.

You can't stand and cast in Inferno. You must kite. And twister doesn't slow enemies.

Has there been any consensus as to the useful of Arcane Dynamo as a passive? 75% damage on venom hydra seems very powerful, but I concerned that the amount of kiting required in Inferno might diminish its effectiveness.
