I have a 38 Necro about to finish Act 1 NM and the game just feels way too easy...
I am going summon-spam (every skill is in Raise Skelly or Mastery with 1 point in Amp Damage) and it seriously feels broken. The only thing I've found even remotely difficult so far was Diablo because I haven't spent the 3 points to get Summon Resist yet, so his flame wave 2 shot my whole army. Once I get an Act 2 NM merc for Might I can see this becoming a complete joke, though.
Besides physical+poison immune bosses (which I would do exactly 0 damage to) does this ever actually get hard or are Necros that broken?
I maxed out freezing arrow and cold arrow, what should I go for frost immunes? immolation arrow probably still sucks so one of the physical damage skills.
One of the physical skills is the standard route, they buffed immolation arrow a bit this patch though.
which physical skill though? after cold arrow, valk, and freezing arrow I don't think I have a full 20 points to spare.
Just fired up a sorc in pahnr2/wang, if anyone's game to start a fresh character.

I AM HOUN I MAKE GAMES AND POSTS THEN GO AFK
Yeah yeah yeah. My kids started bugging me about Pokemon, so I transfered all my best Pokes to my daughter, and wiped the card for my son to start playing.

It gets harder, yes, if only because of monsters with piercing attack (gloams). Have fun dodging lightning bolts.
Also, eventually (Hell Act IIIish) the monsters do become tough enough to slow you down. But by then you should be able to waste them with CE anyway.
Amp does remove most physical immunities. It is possible to meet a PI monster you can't remove via Amp but these are pretty rare (it must have over 120% physical immunity - there are no monsters naturally this resistant so it would be a PI monster with Stone Skin mods or somesuch). For those you'll just have to trust to poison, or whatever elemental damage your mercenary can dish out. Or CE, which does 50% fire.

Ughh Bear form ALWAYS manages to run out in the middle of a fight . Its like a rule for it to run out on a boss so it can one shot me.
Ha ha. Murphy's Law, as applied to werebears.

I'm down to try this new ladder and patch out - where are the majority of you silly gooses playing?
East/HCL? or East/SCL?
I'll likely make a fishy to start, would love to get him rolling and share the phat lewts I find with a PA crew.
Can find me as *zhen_rogue once I determine HC or SC.

Playing from a CD image fixed that for me.
Plus the lag from his death animation while it loads from CD. That let you snag drops before other players could react :P
Thanks for seeing me through Act 1, I played a little of Act 2, but it ramps up bit. Need to gear myself out better.

Play 15 or 20 levels with a softcore character and get the hang of how they work. Then recreate that character in HC.

YOU WANT IT
HC has no advantages
unless being like no great name is what you call an advantage
Well, you get different titles for beating each difficulty.
I'm pretty sure that's the only perk.
Besides the ADRENALINE or whatever.
