In Hell difficulty, almost all creatures have at least 1 immunity to one type of damage.

If you are a brand new player with no access to gear to twink out your characters, Hell can be brutal. If you want to be able to farm any and all areas, well, you will need godly end-game Ladder-only runewords and hundreds of hours of farming and trading if on. If you just want to beat Baal in Hell difficulty, most classes can do it with a bit of farming. It also depends on what you want to do in Hell.

It depends a lot on the class you are playing and how much gear you have access to from other characters.

With the D3 expansion, Loot 2.0, and the concept of greater rifts, they've been able to morph that into a fairly fun loop, especially now that Legendaries do all kinds of wacky things along with making the numbers on your screen get bigger.Īt launch, though? It was frustratingly simple, and the only way they could make Inferno mode properly difficult, and the endgame grindy enough to be satisfying was to make it all into one big stat wall that you had to bang your head up against for long enough to get enough numbers to hit the next stat wall.ĮDIT: Just realized that I misread '5m' as '5 minutes', and not '5 months', meaning I'm just necroing a terribly old thread with a wall of text. Number not high enough? Monster splat you. Inferno difficulty was hard, but it was just a numbers game.Ĭompared to the sort of stat puzzle that is D2 itemization, D3 was (and continues to be): get better item, make number go up. To be completely honest, I don't think you missed much. Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
