I got to play for about an hour and a half today on my Wizard. I was getting 1-3 hit deaths and didn't know what to do with my gear/skillsets to adapt to survive. The patch hits and I'm thinking that it'll be easier to get through act 3, well yes and no. Sure I still get three shot by certain attacks, my IAS wasn't too high so my damage went from 35k to 28k, and I still don't know what skillsets to take into this nerfed game.
I tried my kite build, feels weaker somehow and things don't necessarily die any faster. Not to mention all my attacks are as slow as when I used to have a 2H, so kind of a bummer. I got 2 rare packs at the same time and was able to keep up with them but things haven't necessarily changed, at least that I can tell. I got a rare or two more than I usually got, and I can compete against rares and elites but I still feel like I have no idea how to play the game. Maybe thats the way Blizz wanted it, but I do miss games like Dark Souls, Darksiders, and Uncharted. Dark Souls was tough, but I knew what I had to do, I wasn't clueless, and when I finally beat it, I felt like the world's biggest badass. When/If I beat Diablo on Inferno, I think I'll just be happy to put the game away.
