Well gotta say that i'm surprised by the huge difficulty leap that Inferno has. Not so much in Act I, as it's barely above Act IV Hell difficulty, but the difficulty leap between Act I and Act II is pretty darn big.

I breezed with my current build through act I and I can't even touch any elite/champion mob on Act II, and even normal mobs destroy me XD.

Same here, I had a big mouth up until the first Fast, Fire Chain, Frozen, Reflect Damage, Extra Health boss group showed up... The Elites are truly hard on Inferno but regular mobs are no challenge at all.

PS: I entered Inferno with my Barbarian as well! 30 hours gametime for three difficulties, which also includes a couple of hours of gold and XP farming so its not too shabby! Diablo was really, really easy once I upped my damage, he's not even immune to stun and my Whirlwind attack made minced meat out of him in no time.

I really have to pick the pace with my WD, but I'm torn between finishing Hell with him or farming gear for Act II Inferno for my DH. Now that I got the hang of the Butcher, I can farm him easily on Inferno, and if you do Cursed Hold + Butcher runs, you get some pretty decent loot. 

I heard that Diablo is pretty easy for Barbs, mostly because of Permastun.

I finished Act II Inferno with the Demon Hunter today, I have to say that its a lot easier to play than the Barbarian, maybe I'm going to have to go one-handed and shield and up my armor and resistance heavily.

I found a weapon for my Barbarian though, over 1100 DPS plus Holy Damage and Attack Speed! Woot!

Edit; servers down again... and the auction house disabled for the second time in two days. This is beyond ridiculous!

Did you have a hard time on Act II or did you upped your gear? I'm currently at 42K DPS and still having a pretty hard time with elites. 

Also, I've started crafting a couple of the Exalted equip. Got an amazing 192 Str and 76 Vit shoulders if you're interested .
