Sirian's Day One of Diablo 3

[Tyrmith]

Belial is pretty hard at first, but he has a fairly predictable attack pattern. Once you know what to look for, you can avoid most damage without too much effort.

Yeah, once you get his pattern he becomes pretty easy imo, simply because for the dangerous part of the fight, the safe spots to stand are the same every time.

Aparently, just like real APM and blizzard APM in SC2, normal ping and blizzard ping are two different things.

Well to be fair, theirs is the real indication of latency, the others are just a lazy-man's way of implementing it that ultimately doesn't mean a whole lot.


And yeah Belial was the only boss I died to on my first run through because I was too stupid to realize I had to run around like crazy when he fills the whole platform with green dots. Instead I stood there trying to DPS Az spooked me though as his on the floor circle thing filled up basically the entire area as well, later I saw videos of people just standing in it and keep up attacking.

My problem with Belial was that I would be trying to move, and he would swing one of his arms in front of my cursor, and I would start attacking him instead

So, yeah, I died a few times before I figured out I could bind a key to "move", and keep moving even when his big ugly body got in the way. Of course my fingers are not used to doing that, so it was all a bit clumsy, and I don't like how there's no camera control and if you're right at the left end of the platform and he puts his arm down, you can't even see yourself.
