Am I ready fo NM Diablo?

**LiftedUp** · 22-06-2012, 17:04

Hey all,

Lvl 51 WD: 24k hp, 2.8k dps, and resistances all at 30%. The last few stages of A4 got me a bit worried as I wasn't one-shotting most monsters anymore, and I am a bit scared that my res are too low to face D. Am I just being too cautious?

Any thoughts/advice appreciated.

If you were OK on norm Diablo (eg, not getting caged constantly, not spending all your time frantically looking for globes), you'll be fine on NM Diablo with those stats.

NM Diablo is substantially harder than Norm Diablo. The biggest thing to watch out for as a WD is this: your clone casts Zombie Bears, and they do a metric asston of damage. Stay as far away as possible from it when it spawns.

NM Diablo was the first time Spirit Vessel procced on my WD - I'm still a little surprised I lived.

Appreciated guys, thanks. I haven't done it yet but will likely tonight. After watching the Inferno duo take down Diablo in Hardcore, I picked up at least a few tips to use...e.g., the shadow clone will eventually disappear if I keep running, and I can use the gaps in the level itself to confuse/drive Diablo him(her)self.

For NM Diablo with my barbarian I had around 62% damage reduction from armour, ~2kDPS and 13-30 resists.
Dodge chance was 12% and block chance on shield was 19%.
Total health was, I think, 24k.

Never in any danger at all, though barbs do get that 30% less damage compared to other classes.
