I'm in Act IV Nightmare now and I already don't use my Legendary weapon anymore.

What are the abilities you currently use?

I use Serenity (Reap What Is Sown), Breath of Heaven (Blazin Wrath), Seven-Sided Strike (Sustained Attack), Mantra of Conviction (Overawe), Fists of Thunder (Static Charge) and Sweeping Wind (Fire Storm) with Transcendence, Beacon of Ytar and One With Everything as Passive.

I was switching around my abilities a lot, pretty much everytime I levelled up, just so I could try new things out. I don't remember what I was using last.

Oh, I finally managed to login again! Freaking Blizzard, it's been about a week now!

I finally managed to look at my yellow rare weapon again (lvl 46 monk) and it's ok. Fist Stink (fist weapon): 149.5 dps, stats are +26-73 damage, +93 dex, Increase atk speed 13%, critical hit dmg +20%, 2.20% dmg converted to life, +22 exp monster kills. The Dex boost is nice for my monk!

This is probably the best mod possible for both Barbs and Monk weapons, especially once you start hitting the high DPS ones (700+). I used to carry a Cbow with that mod, but since DHs on Inferno are pretty much glass cannons, I focused only on attack focused mods. 

Act I with DH in Inferno was really easy compared to the struggle I'm having with my Barbarian at the moment. I suppose Act II gets a LOT worse though...

Nothing can prepare you to the difficulty spike of Act II, trust me. I'm prepping my WD for a much smoother run in Inferno (currently at 320+ resists and 2.7K armor), but still, Act II is pretty bad.

It also doesn't help that the starting battles in the act are ambushes by Lacuni and flies that do 25 - 50K damage per hit . And these are just regular mobs. Don't even get me started on Extra Health mobs, 2.2M enemies? Really? >_>.

@bolded  I have 500+ buffed resists and still fire and poison drain life at about 6k per second (I have 32k life and it takes about 5 seconds to completely drain) and 1 pass of the laser things wipes about 10k life.

500 is pretty nice, i'm hitting the 390 - 440 mark with my Witch Doctor, while also having 32K life and 2.9K armor and Act I Inferno is being a walk in the park. I just met a Plagued Extra Health Fast Invu Minions Scavenger pack on the Scavenger den, which completely destroys my DH and took them down with relative ease with my WD.

Also helps that I have 21K DPS on him .
