To recap, monster damage in inferno will be nerfed by at least 25%, and a lot of defensive skills will be nerfed as well.

Its look like they going to nerf the war cry impunity.

hope monster command will give us a very good drop when setting at higher difficulties....

most probably would be the same drop rate..this is just for added challenge..same like hardcore

Monster damage nerf 25%? I also heard my monk armor got nerf by 50%

I haz sadding

thanks god WD not much changing. happy WD users since it started.

If monk armor nerf 50%!!! Really damn man my monk 7k armor buffed become 3.5k armor!!! how tank oh ...

Only armor from dex (Seize the Initiative). I don't mind losing 1100~1200 armor, considering monsters are going to deal 25% less damage.

Five character buffed cant comparing warcry buffed, if war cry get nerf my barb have problem...

They are going to nerf monster damage by at least 25%. There is no need to panic.

Ic if going balance sure be find....

No, it is the passive skill being nerfed.
With the new patch, seize the Initiative, your armor is increased by 50% of your dexterity.

If you have 2000 DEX and 4000 armor, with this passive skill, you'll get 6000 armor (4000 armor + 2000 DEX).
After the patch, you will have 5000 armor (4000 armor + (2000 DEX)/2).

Perhaps it's time to upgrade STR and armor.
I have just purchased a new pants that give me additional 300+ armor.

hmm, do u think stormshield(or other shields) will be more useful then or before 1.05 ? just found one stormshield but has STR stats only..

Monk doesn't need shield.
The monster damage will be reduced too. So, I think it doesn't change the game play after all.

for barbs i mean, wondering should sell it now or after? haha..

any mention when patch 1.05 coming??

Barbs can do well without shield too.
You may want to look at the build without shield.

Stormshield is worthless nowadays, unless you got 1 with high block rate and crit chance.

I got 3 Stormshields after 1.0.4, with one of them having 33% block chance. It's so cheap, I don't even bother to sell it. Screw anyone on Blizzard who decided Stormshield don't need buff.

Inferno is easier.Mobs hit tickles.Wee! Sell all the defensive gears!
Player x is hard.Mobs hit like a truck.Boo hoo...buy back all the defensive gears...

My advice:Better safe than sorry.

go high end build...never gonna regret anything...cuz u have everything already...

Oh my Impunity 50% > 20%

Me barbarian now below 600 AR after war cry
