[HU] Hell Unleashed 1.8

Did someone actually play beta of upcoming patch? Does game feel any better? Feedback pls

overall its much better, but imo for playing alone enemies have too much hp. as melee fighter trash dies too slow (need hire merc but its not great) and as caster boss dies too slow. both are resident sleeper for solo at least for me (hui ppl seem to have no complaints about it), but with team it could be pretty good

How is skill plan ? 1 point in everything and crapy synergies ?
How are the drops ? Unique/quest mobs drop 3-5 rares/uniques ?
Solo any act bosses ?

on caster spells all synergy is removed, melee skills and auras etc have synergy still.
bosses seem to drop uniques still, gris drops set still but i didnt see more than 3, sometimes they drop 0 uniques.
i soloed andy and got to tal rasha tomb as fissure dru, killing coldworm was cancerously slow, juggernaut was ok. overall some bosses die ultra slow so i just cant tolerate it such as smith and countess, its just too long fight so i skipped them. andy and guardian was long-ish fight but for act boss it was ok, need some dodging skill for andy but its fair. so now i was at duriels guardian and holy shit it takes so long i dont think i will do it lol, it even drains my hp down so i cant stay more than 15 minutes there but his hp doesnt even go below 2/3 in that time so again i cant tolerate such bs. so i started two weapon barb and it survives ok but trash killing is too slow for me with 20base ed tirel rw in scepter for 45 dmg each (not bad, seems to be best base but...) its still slow and i start to get tired of it playing alone.
from thread i read rune drops are like 1.7, so thats fair, no infinite grind for it hopefully.

but yea idk about duriel guardian now, might not be doable with fissure/molten boulder, especially considering duriel himself is even tankier as the documentation says... i will see if i can get to it with 2 weapon barb or try again with caster druid but not sure about it. i can certainly buff my defenses but offense probably not so i will probably not be able to tolerate the duration of the fight

Well, considering you were solo, it sounds quite okay. If it was like this in good 2-4 player party, that would be completely different stoy. So lets say it's just MP biased

Thank you for informative and interesting posts.

Probably it has high resist of your element.

guys i want to urge you again to try this out, even start new char and play for 30 minutes and observe the flow of the game. if you find anything you dont like and its a fair criticism then it can be fixed before it comes to realm, we can help to make it as enjoyable an experiece as possible so we wont have 1.7 again

can solo it. i died once and he didnt heal to full due to that bug, but you have to consider that i was lvl 29 (no bo) and my gear wasnt that good.

tbh im enjoying the long boss fights more now. its like an endurance round where you have to minimize the damage you take and maximize damage output/long term survival at the same time. not sure how it will play out with server delay but on sp its pretty nice, at least with melee char.
not sure about casters yet since fissure dru or low lvl molten boulder is rly bad for stationary targets (duriel guard).
perhaps some bosses could get nerfed a bit for the sake of game flow

And who of you two having "those days"? :lol:

i think one of my weapon had ow and barb now has ow passive that starts 5% (lvl 2: 6%!). that reminds me, that ow is quite weak early game, i rly hope it will be stronger at lvl 90 or so because modder said it is better now due to overall values being lower so monster hp are lower as well. so far im not seeing that work out in a gg way

Life loss per frame:

(cLvl * 9 + 40) / 256

maybe... it looks like you can ow hell countess in about 6 minutes with lvl 90 or so char... but hell andy 40 minutes lol
