The hate going on in the D3 forums regarding patch 1.03 is amazing xD.

Funny thing though, most of it, if not all, comes from glass cannon DHs that solo'ed Inferno because their loot won't be worth millions any more .

I don't agree with toning down the overall difficulty of Act II and further Inferno acts, they only needed to up the gear drops which were in fact quite ridiculous. Having to get gear from Act III or Act IV to make a viable melee build for Act II or any non-glass cannon range build is a shitty mechanic.

No wonder people sell spawn points for resplandecent chests from Act III and IV for hundred Ks a piece or boosting Act II chars to Act III because Act I and Act II gear is shitty at best.

Thankfully, Blizz is ending that broken economy and giving all a much fairer shot in the game, especially to those that don't want to abuse the AH as most "OMG IM SO LEET D3 PLAYER THAT SPENT 1000Billion GOLD ON THE AH TO HAVE 100K DPS DH" Inferno completers seemed to do.

I don't agree either with the difficulty nerf.

Act 2 was brutal it is true but now that i have gone back to Act 1 and found it ridiculously easy with my upgraded gear I worry about the overall Inferno difficulty post-patch...

I didn't find Act I to be that difficult to be honest, it was doable with Hell gear and Hell skill setup without having to go Glass Cannon. I was actually able to take some hits even from elite mobs. 

Act II was the real Inferno brick wall and it hit you hard right from the start. The canyon area where you get ambushed by tons of flies and lacunis is probably one of the hardest spots in all of Act II .

if you know it's coming it's not that bad.

I actually didn't die at all in that area.

I switched my spec to seeker magic missile at the start of the act and took easilly care of everthing there...

if things get out of hand you have space to run back too..
