As the title suggests, we're going to be reducing the amount of damage monsters do in Inferno whenever Monster Power is enabled. Before I detail what's changing, though, let me first explain why we're making some adjustments.

When we originally designed and implemented the bonus values for monster damage in Inferno, we were unaware that a bug was causing monster abilities (i.e. Rare and Champion affixes) to not scale correctly with each Monster Power level. While this bug was caught during testing and did not make it into the game, the result of it being fixed meant that monster damage -- specifically damage done by monster abilities -- was ultimately higher at MP1 through MP10 than we intended it to be when 1.0.5 released.

So, to bring monster damage back in line with our original goals for the system, we're implementing a hotfix that will reduce the scaling bonus to monster damage in Inferno difficulty by approximately 25% for all Monster Power levels.

Here are the new damage values that will be hotfixed in for each MP setting:

MP1: 109.60% (down from 114%)
MP2: 120.12% (down from 130%)
MP3: 131.65% (down from 148%)
MP4: 144.29% (down from 169%)
MP5: 158.14% (down from 193%)
MP6: 173.32% (down from 220%)
MP7: 189.96% (down from 250%)
MP8: 208.20% (down from 285%)
MP9: 228.18% (down from 325%)
MP10: 250.09% (down from 371%)

Please note that these changes will only apply to monster damage in Inferno difficulty. Monsters in Normal, Nightmare, and Hell will be unaffected and continue to use their current values.

This hotfix is currently scheduled to be released tomorrow morning during normal Tuesday maintenance in the Americas, which means the new bonus damage values in Inferno will take affect once the game servers come back online.

My comment is, the main problem is not the damage.
It is the HP of the monsters.
Imagine 4 illusionist elites that cast shield on each other. 

High monster damage could be the secondary problem though.

Damage reduction is the great 1st step for DH.. Then I can move from mp4-mp6..

Yes, reduce damage reduction will help players to progress in MP4-MP8.

If you look at MP10, it is not quite possible to farm.
Just give you a scenario, 4 illusionist elites will spawn into 16 elites.
And they cast shield on each other.
By the time you kill all the clones, they already have new clones with shield surround you.
Imagine you have fire/poison/arcane under your feet.

But they said its inefficient to farm at MP10 right? I mean I know some like the challenge... but may be just lower it to MP8 perhaps?>

Imagine that when we fighting those elites in mp10, ur kid cry and say: I wan BaBa, I wan BABa... Haha, I won't go higher mp because my time to play game no stable..

yesterday follow pro MP6 also i die like nobody...

7xx AR really not enuff...

but now i think can tahan abit since reduce dmg...

But yesterday elite abit ganas la... arcane, molten, descrator and vortex... die lor like this... 

stake more LoH, Life Leech, AR, armor and ias. surely not die. 

WD Wira already power now 

MP1: 109.60% (down from 114%)
MP2: 120.12% (down from 130%)
MP3: 131.65% (down from 148%)

MP8: 208.20% (down from 285%)
MP9: 228.18% (down from 325%)
MP10: 250.09% (down from 371%)

That mean, those that farm in MP5 (previously 193%) can probably farm in MP8 (now 208%)... the damage reduction is huge...

MP1: 109.60% (down from 114%)
MP2: 120.12% (down from 130%)
MP3: 131.65% (down from 148%)

MP5: 158.14% (down from 193%)
MP6: 173.32% (down from 220%)
MP7: 189.96% (down from 250%)
MP8: 208.20% (down from 285%)
MP9: 228.18% (down from 325%)
MP10: 250.09% (down from 371%)

ps: but agree with ALeUNe that HP is problem... that's main reason I refused to farm in higher MP, i can kill twice as fast in lower MP and it's more fun.

stupid change. current version is just nice. they like to make certain decisions then call it bug.

Well they are doing this probably cuz Jay Wilson's favourite barb is taking in too much damage. So since barb can't be OP, they decide to nerf the dmg to make them OP.

Must be many people complaint its too hard.. XD

So now the drop rate remains the same (add on summore when go higher MP) hence we all get better gear = spoil market price..



I see the calculation the old MP7 difficulty is similar to the new MP5.. 

dafuq is this   

I think they do wrong thing la. I think most players are not complaining about their damage but their LIFE of the monsters are just too great. Macam take forever to kill 
But in a way now I can go to MP 8-9 try try test test water 

wow~ ppl doin mp 7-8 can go 10
ppl doin 5-6 can go 7-8 this is wat is see?

It is the HP of the monsters. Not quite effective to go MP9-10.
And the enrage timer of the uber bosses. Not quite possible to beat the uber bosses in 8min.

Bro if go 7-8 MP level uber, co-op every single hero need more DPS can manage wth in 8min....

since v kill uber until today v already know their boss body language ...

To do MP10 effectively, i think the entire team needs to have DPS > 200k each.

DPS alone is not enough.
The team players must not be glass canon build. Balance build is very important.

u're a monk player right?

u're a monk player right?

he played all lol..

yeah, i have 4 chars as well but my main is DH. I'm guessing his main is monk.

if every one in party got 100k > dps unbuff can kill mp10 boss, i believe

u're a monk player right?

He is diablo 3 legend man..all char oso powerful, one piu piu, mobs all die. If u party with him, no need to afraid of any mobs, even if u in MP 10. So taiko...I salute him 

MP10... i still wonder how i can kill the bosses in 8min with my current DPS. 
I hope Bliz can remove the enrage timer so that I can spend 4 hours killing the uber bosses.

If spend almost four hour kill uber really take long time....

Hahaha... that's not the point.
It is just not possible to kill the MP10 uber bosses in 8min, with my current build.

I think wonder how I can dish out 1.5m damage per hit.
(Darn, bad Ah Zhong... why you mentioned 1.5m damage?)

if they decided to remove it, i would like to try to face them at MP10 lol.. if u spend 4 hours, so i think i will take 5 hours.. 

Enrage time is a gear/DPS check.

Yes, I believe this will be achieved soon. Very soon.
As they are barbs that can dish out millions of damage per hit now.

Imagine 4 barbs with million damage per hit...

Hahaha... that's not the point.

Yeah, give me a credit card or debit card and I can do the same as well.

1.5mil? that must be the power of the hammer 

By the way, do they already implement the reduction of damage on their previous update? Coz I cannot feel any different doing MP 7. HP still moving fast like rain falling from the sky.

Yes, the damage has reduced.
I can WW into arcane now.
