55 Monk, my first character past level 10 (for extra thrill, I wanted my first playthrough of the game to be on hardcore): I was just starting hell mode, after staying in nightmare extra long to make sure I'd survive hell. I was fighting some arcane enchanted elite when my internet cut out. Woops! >_<
55 Wizard: Again, stayed in nightmare extra long to make sure I could survive hell. I just got to hell mode The Butcher and was feeling very confidant because I had cut through everything easily. The butcher was giving me no problems so I popped archon form and used my archon blink to get in a good position to deal damage. He dragged me into a fire and I couldn't get out or cancel archon and use diamond skin before dying. I was too confidant =(
60 Demon Hunter: I had been farming act 1 inferno for about a week or two (this is after the drop rates were changed so I can get iLvl 63 in act 1), and was very confidant in my skills. So confidant that I decided to chase a treasure goblin through a pack of arcane enchanted wallers. It didn't end well. >_<

Like how less? Good tip. Thanks.

Also remember to run with a friend. Like how less? Good tip. Thanks. There is always a 10 seconds idle if you exit the game outside of town, even if you do this by killing the process, but if you disconnect and then kill the D3 process, the microsecond you reconnect will start this 10s countdown. I wouldn't recommend always exiting the game if you feel even the slightest lag, you might save yourself if you come back. It depends what situation you are in or how long the lagspike will last.

Yeah, like I said, more than two seconds, which is normally how long the slight lag spikes last (at least on Asia) But if you are experiencing a lot of lag spikes - relog, itll help.
For me if the lag lasts for more than 2 seconds I know itll be pointless, so I just quickly tell my friends Im stuck so they will watch me a bit while I kill the process.
If I dont do this, it can take up to a minute before the game boots me finally, so 10-15 seconds is much better than 70-130 seconds.

Ahaha. Well the problem is when I get interested in a character I don't really stop playing besides sleeping and going to class, and after playing for 5-10 hours straight it's really easy to just get sucked into a rampage that you forget how mortal you really are ._.;

Servers just went down. FUCK.

Was playing in a group with 2 friends (monk and barb, me as dh). After farming a1 for a month we finally decided we had good enough gear to progress to diablo. A2 was easy, cleared in 5 hours without problems. A3 got very tedious, had to reset the game in the tower to cydaea several times because there were hard champions right at the start of the dungeon with no room to kite. After 10 or so attempts we finally made it to the last tower step, where the first thing we see is a bloodclan occultist champion pack (the guys who shield each other). We decided to split them so that one was seperated and couldnt get shields, unfortunately though they had illusionist so even a single one still managed to make illusions and get shields all the time. The fight went on for 5 minutes and i constantly had to dodge fireballs from illusions. I couldnt dodge all of them but they were only doing 5k dmg each (i had about 700 fireresi unbuffed, 1150 with warcry and monk aura). Suddenly one of the fireballs that i couldnt evade did 32k dmg and i died :| So annoying, i shouldnt have stayed there when i was constantly annoyed by the illusions. Also wasted all of our groups remaining gold on a new weapon on that day so we could progress a bit faster. Meh. Demon hunter sucks.

DH's do suck as far as staying alive is concerned. You should roll a wizard instead, nice dps with 100x the survivability.

Died to a game crash in Act 2 inferno and my poor spin to win fem-barb is dead. RIP U BUTCHY BUTCH

Me and my friend, lvl 57 barb and lvl 57 monk respectively, died in Vault of Assassin (Act 2 Hell) yesterday. I was chain CC-ed for 20 seconds by nightmarish and frozen. We first ran into blue snakes with fire chains, frozen, shielding. Tough, but not a problem. While running from frozen orbs, we went slightly into unexplored territory (like half a screen) and bumped into golden skeletal archers with nighmarish, invulnerable minions and waller. I took an arrow to the face which nightmarished me to walk into frozen orbs. The snakes proceeded to lay frozen orbs at my feet again and again and again. It took a good 20s or so for my character to die while being stabbed by 3 snakes and 4 skeleton. At no point could I regain control of my character (wrath of the berserker was on cooldown). My friend died 10s later when he ran into a dead end, ran out of spirit, got frozen and stabbed by snakes.
We had a good laugh and re-rolled. Back up to lvl 20 after a few hours. Better gear or more levels could not have saved me, I think. Lessons learned: never move into uncharted territory while fighting elites and try to have wotb on cooldown for every engagement, especially in dense areas like VotA. Easily the best fun I've had playing this game.

HC is no fun anymore , farm farm farm farm 800 all resists barb makes everything easy Back to SC2
Oh btw you can get to level 50 in about 8 hours if you spam farm act 3 scorpions, and level 60 in another 4-6 if you get a friend to jump start you in a3 hell scorpions until you can get gear to self run.
Best solo method would be to spam the A1 First quest where you kill the Wretched Mothers, then keep spamming it until you can do A3 Light the Fires easily with decent gear, then just spam kill scorpions in A3.
Other good parts to do would be Leorics Manor where theres like 30-ish monsters, but the elite spawn there has killed a lot of people I know.
Wretched Mother runs is UBER safe unless you like running down unknown dungeons (one has a guaranteed elite spawn with I think 100% mortar), and gives very decent exp early on.
A3 light the fire and scorpions can also be very safe if you simply kill the first wave of monsters/scorpions and leave/restart game, but if this is too spammy/boring for you for Light the Fire simply run all the way through till you finish the catapults, while for scorpions you can run all the way through until you kill Azmodan, but this takes almost 3-4 times longer to level vs simply killing scorpies.
Regarding gear-wise, 300-400 all resists makes you very safe regardless of character in A1 all the way through Leoric, which gives you plenty of decent farms. Avoid bad fights when you can (Frozen + arcane + jailer/vortex/waller + Molten/Poison/Desecrator in really small areas), do NOT be afraid of enraging the boss in A1, had it happen to me and it didnt do much damage. Always focus fire down one mob at a time when fighting elites (one of the blues/minions) as it reduces the damage done by enrage greatly (enrage damage stacks per monster still alive, so if you are down to only one mob the enrage will do almost no damage depending on your character)
Farming the quill rat elite early on in A1 Dank Cellar sounds good on paper, but in reality it doesnt give any good drops. The best method would be simply run a couple A3 hell until you are rich enough to stack (Main stat + all resists) from AH (should be very cheap since no vit), spam purple gems in sockets and maintain a 35000 + hp (I prefer 40000), 4000+ armor then simply suck it up and go out the north gate. Its a pretty big area, and mobs dont do that much damage (With decent gear zombies did 1500 damage to my barb, 2000 damage to wizard, but the wizard wasnt supposed to tank so its ok)

I was farming Crypt of the Ancients to powerlevel, good XP too.

Level 43 nightmare act 3 keep. Was taking on a large pack of mobs + elites (might have been a champ too i think I saw a yellow but not sure), had done it many times before with little problem, for some reason my health dropped a fair bit, and I got frozen down to 1.2k, i leaped out and piss bolted but got held up by those skeles that fall from the roof and path block, just enough for the elite to catch up wall me and then freeze me, had no where to turn with no health.
14 hours wasted ugh.

Level 52 monk Hell act1 trailling the covern
My first honest death in HC. This was due to me being undergeared and overconfident I died from arcane sentry when my serenity was on cooldown

Level 67 barb.
game was so boring, I ran into a pack of champion lacuni slashers towards the end of the alcarnus arc A2 inferno and they took me super low pretty fast and I had this flash of relief briefly across my mind. When I realized how unfun the game had become that I was relieved to die and only still playing by inertia, I just took my hands off the keyboard and didnt reach for leap or shieldwall or wrath.
