Switched to a decent crossbow and turned on Sharpshooter as Passive skill last night, I'm now at around 11.000 DPS!

Finished nightmare last night, Diablo wasn't so bad but I died about a dozen times in the last half of Act IV, the difficulty took an incredible turn for the worse. I actually ran into a group of Elites that were practically immortal, there was no way to defeat them. They were a group of Corrupted Angels, Fast, Vampiric and attacking while I had both the Templar and Tyrael in the party. Had only 36.000 HP or so each but they munched on Tyrael and the Templar for ten seconds and their HP was back to full. Managed to get one down to around 3000 HP but the HP bar shot right up again as I vaulted away to heal and he attacked Tyrael.
The followers deal so little damage that it really has no effect.

On a very positive note; the auction house has become a lot more reasonable in terms of pricing.

 

 

Edit; and we're back to Error 3003. This is beyond stupid. Blizzard, get your shit together! I want to be able to play single player in the game that I own and have paid full price for!

11K DPS??? And me thinking that 1.9K DPS was decent for nightmare XD. Then again, the WD Firebomb is seriously OP .

I'm up to 14.3k DPS now... Demon Hunter packs a punch! But I see weapons in the AH with up to 1300 DPS, which is more than triple my weapon's damage output. People are critting around the 200k mark with Inferno gear.

We killed Leoric on Hell, he had 1.33 million HP.

how many people were in the group?

We were only two. He wasn't really that dangerous though, with Dodge and Vault his attacks are useless and the mobes he spawns are weak and serve only to heal you. I think the greatest main story challenge thus far for us has been the first boss on Act IV on Nightmare, he is surrounded by an endless horde of weak mobs, they cause quite a bit of damage, move quickly and prevent him from being hit. Got him with piercing attacks through his minions after a while. Diablo was fairly easy on Nightmare though.

So far, the story bosses in Hell are weaksauce, the only real challenge is Elites and boss groups in the world, some of them are truly badass. (Jailer + Mortar is always fun).

So that'll leave Leoric at about 1M Hell Solo. Not bad given the right DPS. 

Jailer + Mortar is obnoxious, but nothing is worse than Vampiric and Plague. They're almost immortal with that combo, especially since WD relies on minions for aggro >_<.
