| I'm so confused. Last night I was facerolling through inferno azmodan on my barb, even with a friend in the game staying dead the whole time (to test if I could sell it to people.) Try it today, and I'm just getting owned. Fireballs hit me for over double what they did last night. I didn't change any gear, spec, or anything. Am I going crazy here or did something get stealth changed with this patch? |

| At the moment, grouping up increases both the health and damage potential of monsters. Are you saying you were in a group both yesterday and today? I've heard nothing about Azmodan buffs, so if you weren't, maybe you were getting unlucky with high damage rolls, or something. Last edit: 2012-06-13 04:50:20 |

| Is an increase in damage even sensible in a game where there is no healing class? |

| I soloed him last night and took no damage. I did it again last night with a friend dying at the start to test if I could sell it, and it was easy as well. Now I'm getting owned. Was the no increased damage in groups hotfix from saturday reverted with todays patch? If so it would make sense because that's what it feels like currently. |

| Seems the same to me, noticed no difference in farming him. |

They removed the health buff in groups.
There is an increase of damage.
Nothing got buffed or changed. |

well, they hotfixed grouping damage. It is probably possible that the patch reverted the hotfix. |

| I checked Battle.net forums, and there are several threads discussing a possible stealth buff to Act III across the board. Maybe it's not just Azmodan... |

| I can confirm that Azmodan runs seems a lot harder now. Also, I noticed new set of elites on the way. |

I thought they had removed the increased damage but kept the health buff for groups...

In cooperative games, monster damage will no longer increase when additional players join the game. Please note that monster health will still scale based on the number of players in a party |

| Well I just cleared Azmodan on my alt for the first time, and while I wouldn't say it was easy, it was still tankable. Didn't get to try before today, so I can't say if it got harder, but the path up to that point seemed about the same to me. |

| You either changed equipment for MF or something and did not change it back. Or you accidently selected the wrong difficulty settings. No need to get into conspiracy theories about stealthy patch updates. |

Sold all my gear, put on some spares, did some Azmodan runs.
It's not any harder. |

Obviously blizzard increased the difficulty while at the same time nerfing drop rates to force you to buy gear off the rmah.
Oh wait, sorry I thought I was on the battle.net forums. |

Blizzard has said Act II - IV Inferno is already too hard.
More likely they just buffed Azmo because people were farming him to no end? |

| I think its just bad luck with the elitemods from time to time. I can do siegebreaker for hours doing 20 min runs, but from time to time you just get bad combos and it takes a while longer. I do think they increased reflect damage though. Maybe kinda little stealth wizard/dh nerf. |

| I doubt any stealth nerf or buffs have gone through; Diablo has always been filled with dice rolls. It's far more likely that you, and everyone else crying about drop rate nerfs and damage buffs, are just having unlucky rolls. |

| Honestly it seems like Azmodan got harder. I did it on my barb a few times and could always eat the fireballs with no problem. THen, I did a run helping my friend like yesterday, and I could no longer simply eat the fireballs...or else I'd be quite dead very quickly. |
