...because the real boss is Herald of Pestilence! My barbarian could tank and faceroll frenzy all of the game's bosses in normal mode and didn't give a shit about any AOE they might have thrown.

Herald of Pestilence, on the other hand, killed me faster than my ping of 300ms would allow me to dodge his crap.

Summary: first playthrough took 18 hours, I died seven times, all of them to Herald of Pestilence. I vote for making him final boss!

use more skill

The only advice, per Gary Whitta, you need. Shoot that guy.

I'm voting for that Frozen, Illusionist, Arcane Enchanted pack I encountered at the start of the sewers in ACT 2 Hell. Good god that was hectic.

Try facing Mortar, Arcane Enhanced, Molten, Vampiric mobs on Inferno. We had to give up.

Not faced it myself but the toughest i've heard of is: Extra fast, horde, invincible minions, fire chain.

Apparently it's literally unbeatable.

Oh, I thought it's the boss with the ooze things first... those little guys haven't been that hard for me (as a wizard) either, though. I guess it's harder for melee classes.

The worst ones for me on nightmare so far were three of those spinning dudes. They had vampiric and mortars. It would probably have been fairly easy with a wizard or a demon hunter, but when you have to get close (I'm playing monk) and those fuckers are constantly healing themselves from hitting you, it's a little more difficult. I tried staying just far enough to be away from the spin move, but then I got hit by the mortars. Eventually I was able to get to them one by one and I found a pattern in their attacks to exploit.

That was harder than any boss fight so far.

lol, I believe it. That sounds.... fucked up.

I loved watching the No Life livestream last night. Having killed Diablo in Inferno they still get absolutely stomped by trash packs. Especially in the inferno Whimsyshire. Killer unicorns, the real threat in Diablo 3.

playing nightmare and that damn pestilence arm he throws out hits so hard, wait until you get rare ones with molten/vortex, sucks you in to the green/orange death circles.

Those fucking Pestilence Heralds are screwing my ass so bad in Hell. I HATE THEM!

I haven't had too much trouble yet, only in Act 2 but how do I kill that Fuad asshole? He just keeps on regenerating.

i thought Herald of Pestilence was extremely easy but im a demon hunter.

i have a ton of problems with any mob that has jailer + mortar on hell dif and if they have invulnerable minions to then im screwed when solo'ing

Jesus that actually exists (I guess why shouldn't it right?).

That's just... invincible minions is bad enough but with that shit, oh woah. Actually I still can't believe that exists^^ Then again they probably didn't put in certain restrictions.

I hate vampiric enemies. WHY WON"T YOU DIEEE

And as a monk, anything that leaves a trail of lava/poison behind it is a pain in the ass.

All I know is that the Arcane Sentries that pop up in Nightmare mode really fuck me up.
