    Whats your favorite mob affix?

    I know theres a LOT of hate for the different combination of abilities that rares get in Inferno, but I was wondering what is the 'single' mechanic that people enjoyed/was surprised by the most?

    I really enjoy the arcane enchanted ones. It can be frustrating when combined with some other abilities but I think the mechanic itself is very fun to deal with. (barb btw )
    Watching the champion pack throw down 3-4 arcane sentries at once and trying to dodge them is fun for me haha

    EDIT: Me and my friends laugh at each other whenever we get stuck in a corner and we see the arcane sentry drop right next to them >.< They weren't kidding about them wallers lol.
    On that note, wallers are awesome too

    Well as melee on easier difficulties I can keep my mouse held down and usually I keep 'target' on the original monster.
    On higher difficulties I tend to differentiate them by their health bars

    Oh god illusionist on the smoldering constructs >.< (The bug like casters in act 2 zolton kulle stage, that shoot fire :O)

    Arcane is fun if it's not matched with something that makes them unavoidable. Teleporters and fast are fun for me too because it's basically a useless aphix as I'm melee.

    Extra Health, Fire Chains, and Arcane Enchanted was one of the packs that I ran into earlier today on Hell difficulty. I think I died at least 5 times. XD

    I hated Arcane with a passion, but I've come around to your way of thinking OP, they are fun to dodge now. In fact I thought about it, and they are pretty much the only one together with Frozen that I don't just dislike or don't care about. Frozen is a bit the same as Arcane in that you have to dodge them, only less deadly in a direct kind of way.

    Molten / plague & firechains on ranged mobs is great
    avanger is cool but never notice any hugh problem as most things 1-2 shot me (:
    Illusion is cool ability too, they die so fast so its like a massacer^^
    (and yes im in infernal act1)

    Waller is probably my favorite affix. As a wizard it tends to make kiting much more interesting, and shooting the mobs much more difficult.

    Mortar is my least favorite affix.

    Waller, jailer, vortex, extra health.

    Free loot as a melee.

    Health Link on mobs that bunch up is amazing. Go go AOE.

  11. #11
    Favourite?

    Waller.

    A lot of the time it will work against the mobs rather than for them.

    Missile Dampening is pretty funny as a Barb, get to see a nice train of spinning Sidearms heading towards every mob.

    Except when it's a kiter mob. Then it's easily my most hated affix.

    I agree arcane can be super fun. It's like a mini game in itself trying to avoid them.

    Nah, those aren't completely useless against melee, when paired with other affixes or on certain mobs, like say, Hellhide Tremor!
    Oh, god. I hope I never get a rare/champion pack of Mallet Lords (that's the name, right?) with Fast, Waller, Jailer affixes. Please, no.

    The one where they slow down my elemental arrow so i can stack 10 of them on top of each other and then walk them into it. It's awesome.
    Yep. Players mad at us is a superior situation to players being mad at each other. -GC

    Missile Dampening is the best ever. I've only seen it once though. I fired off all my hatred in Nether elemental arrows, they all clumped together and the mobs ran into them and insta-died. Was fantastic.


    Linked-Health and Avenger also makes me happy.

    As a barb I love illusionist. More bodies to charge/revenge heal off

    Oh I totally forgot about missle dampening.
    I've seen it only 4 times I think.
    1 time in night mare, and then 3 times in inferno (yesterday and today). The spell effect is pretty cool in my opinion. (I believe wizards have the same skill?)
