Ideal Stats per Boss Progression

[Laccnow]

Nightmare Belial

Wizard lvl 46
18,3k hp
82-95 resistances
1,6k dps
915 armor

I was considering to level up to 50 before trying Belial, but I really wanted to get through this, so I tried. Killing him was easy, even with a messed up skill setup.

Hell Belial:
Level 57
HP: 35,5k
res:297/247/268/247/247/247
armor: 5812
dps:5,2k dps
Without buffs, using Tough as nails and nerves of steel though.

Fight was a breeze, was worried at first but never lost more than 1/5th or 1/6th of my hp and basicly tanked all hits except his "ultimate"

I just lost my first HC barbarian on NM Belial. I was lvl 45 -- 12K hitpoints. It was very close, I probably could have beaten him.

Reading these forums to try to better prepare myself. Noticing that I was WAAAY off what most had there.

Some average values from my 5 characters (1 per class), they all are still alive and kicking. I'm playing with selffound items only.

Normal Belial: lvl 27 / 2k - 2,5k hp / ??? dps
Normal Azmodan: lvl 30 / 3k - 3,5k hp / 300 dps
Normal Diablo: lvl 32 / 4k - 4,5k hp / 400dps
Nightmare Butcher: lvl 39 / 7k - 8k hp / 700dps

Nightmare Diablo

Level 52 Wizard
26,4k hp
3,2k dps
1180 armor
Resistances from 96-130
Played solo.

I expected a somewhat easier battle, had to drink potions. I think I shouldn't have experiment with skills just before fighting him, I tried out this build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...kXR!aXb!aZcYaa

I guess it's time for me to test and understand more the wizard skills as I expect hell to be way harder than nightmare.

Wow, you guys are so much more cautious than I am. Going through HC for the first time, completely solo, never repeating anything.

Wizard
Normal diablo - 2k hp, 600 dps, level 32
Nightmare butcher - 5.6k hp, 1200 dps, level 38
Nightmare belial - 8k hp, 2200 dps, level 43
Nightmare azmodan - 13k hp, 4100 dps, level 48
Nightmare diablo - 15k hp, 4300 dps, level 49 (act 4 gives you no xp ...)

hell butcher

wd 56

38k hp
4.8k dps
1600 armor
120 ress average

[AlexanderBarin]

Inferno butcher with relative ease:

Barb unbuffed (e.g. pre maniac, pre wotb):
54k life
11.5k dps
150ish all res with impunity
8.5k ish armor

In terms of spec, I did use superstition and both armor passives, and superstition is useless on this boss, so if you're not running 5NV, the fight is even easier when you drop super for something like 25% dps at full rage passive, or ultimate reducer for double EQ, double WOTB.

I dropped a few pieces of all-res for this fight (since you only get hit by physical and fire, and much of it is avoidable completely), and put on more str. My 5NV stack gathering stats are quite different.

Just killed Ghom in NM with my barb. At the Arreat Gate now.

Level 46
18k hp.
4k armor (buffed)
1.7k DPS
16% dodge.

Good stuff guys, surprised there aren't more DH or WD posts, although I guess barbs are probably the safest. Any input from DH or WD is welcome!
