Just killed SK on inferno.

Okay, i just killed the skeleton king on inferno, and i must say, it isn't really harder, he just does shitloads more damage, no new tacts, nada. I expected new mechanics, but nope :/

Thoughts? what do you think about that there are no new mechanics just damage and health?

From one side it is a little dissapointing, but from the other side, imagine different tactics for different bosses on different levels. It won't change anything, just make it less repetetive, afterall, in the end, when we reach lvl 60 and inferno, we farm champions and elite packs, not bosses. But I think that end-act-bosses should have at least 1 new ability per each higher difficulty.

That's exactly how it works. This information has been available for days.

Yeah, I thought Skeleton King, and the Butcherer in Inferno Mode looked just as easy (mechanic wise) in Inferno mode as they did in normal mode. Stating this seemed to send a lot of people into an uproar though. At least those champion packs are challenging!

It's not WoW. The harder difficulties are just that, more health more damage. These aren't 'hard modes' per se where the fight changes. If you want a challenge, try doing some of the unique achievements to each boss.

They should just add a few affixes to the boss to make it more random and maybe eliminate the issue with farming bosses. If the bosses have random affixes, then it's not so easy to farm them.

aye I did it earlier and can't say I wasn't a little disappointed (I have read barely anything about it, spoilers and what not). It actually felt easier because I'd done it 3 times already. Hoping they actually get harder.

If you're farming bosses, you're doing it wrong.

i know this isn't wow.... i've played D2 since 2nd grade and i didn't stop before diablo 3. But really, why shouldn't there be new mechanics? after nightmare i could completely avoid ALL attacks on the bosses, it is not hard at all.

the only hard thing after nightmare are the random elites, which are very op tbh.

They don't have new abilities, but i think they have enrage timers on inferno.

I never hit it on SK, but i hit it once on Butcher(It's 3mins) When the fight has hit 3 minutes, the entire room goes on fire and you die. Anyways, i'm not really too bothered about the bosses not having new abilities, I'm farming champion/rare packs for 5 stacks of valor buff to get megaloots from the bosses.

Bosses are story lines, Mobs are loot pinatas. Game is about farming and not having fun silly goose.
