Diablo® III

This is truly annoying and i believe it might be a failed hotfix - to me it seems to work sometimes(however rarely) so they might have tried to put a chance for it to only hit 35 % in there, however retarded, Wizard solo is pointless atm

This is retarted!! so angry at blizzard! u cant even play the game with a wiz now.
funny thing is it says u only take 35% if the hit is more then 35% of ur life...
It more like you take 1 hit, not 35% is gone from ur life but 100%
the spell works correcly like the descripton "NOT" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

first with the servers upon relese now this!
Dont know how many billions they have , and they cant get decent servers. like dont havent had experience with that before. LOL
JOKE after JOKE after JOKE!!!

well done blizzard!

I completely agree with them nerfing it so people can't run around with 5k hp and insane hp regen and just lulz thru !@#$.
What I do NOT AGREE with is us who actually have 30-35k~ HP and all res have to suffer for this as well.
We can't a thing, I mean I have 480 all res and 35K HP and with Diamond Skin and the glyph (32k~absorb) I still get one shotted by nearly anything.

Learn to play your class properly is all I can say. If you spent money on gearing up for obvious exploit that is your loss.

I completely agree. Am currently playing with around 30k HP and the skill is quite helpful.

Its gonna be one one-shot after the next from now on :P

You and everyone else saying this are idiots, plain and simple. YOU are the one who should go and try to play Wizard in Inferno solo, then come back and tell me how balanced it is compared to other classes. Take your time, I'll be waiting.

This thread is not about anyones learn to plays, it was made for a reason, to get official clarification on the matter.

Too bad we aren't getting any, but nice to hear experiences so we have solved that anything that can kill you with one shot, the armor wont work for those hits, which is pretty much anything.

For example, the wizard set, Tal Rasha's wrappings give you about 10k life, so with that and base life you got somewhere around 14-15k life. With gear that is definetly made for inferno. Does that mean wizards are supposed to use the 8 remaining slots for blue vitality parts to kill a random thing, nevermind champions and rares.

Kabooom, welcome to the life of barbarians :D

blizzard made inferno so we can skip it to the end evading mobs... and then just run around the boss potting till he gets tired and goes to sleep then we can pew pew at him .... till he wakes up and 1 shot u ...

I've had experiences where one hit brought me down to 5-10%, so I do not think that's how it works.

Learn to play. My roommate is a Barbarian and we are progressing through Inferno with 2 men just fine. It's people like you who think that Wizards had a I WIN button, yet can't tell your asses from your elbows piss me off the most.

Force Armor was the sole reason they could progress through Inferno

So we are not supposed to progress thru Inferno anymore. Not a question.

• Energy Armor
  
• Skill Rune - Force Armor
  
• Amount of damage absorbed from a single attack will now cap at 100% of a player’s maximum Life

As you can see here from the recent [url="https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4662223"]hotfixes blog[/url] that we posted, a change has been made to this ability; it will now only absorb up to 100% of your characters maximum life. This change was made because as most wizards know, this ability was overpowered; Force Armor was the sole reason they could progress through Inferno and in most cases be near invincible.

With this change it will bring wizards more in line with the survivability of the other classes in the game.

Which is being one shotted by any monster in inferno act2+ with a good gear

Or you could've buffed monks/barbs/witchdoctors to bring them more in line with the survivability of the other classes in the game.
That way everyone could have a good time.

Wish this game would be more like D2.

"Good" gear is crap in one week from now. Stop whining.

AMAZING choice of words here, could of phrased it a little differently so that it doesn't sound like you are saying wizards only progressed through inferno because of the skill you have just nerfed?

• Energy Armor
  
• Skill Rune - Force Armor
  
• Amount of damage absorbed from a single attack will now cap at 100% of a player’s maximum Life

Do you actually think that is balanced? Force armor was the only viable defense wizard had, now we can either build tanky with vitality and resistances or deal damage, well done Blizzard another fail.

This is Diablo it should all be soloable. Can you please hire people who know what they are doing, thanks.

That's bull,you would still die if got hits in quickly. And you screwed up a lot of people by doing this without warning, as people farmed//paid for items to help em towards this build. A fair warning was in place for this.

Can I have the gold back for any purchases made? it's about 500k at least.

This is disgusting customer treatment, way to go. This along with all the launch problems, is just HORRIBLE.
