Diablo III: Reaper of Souls

I've finally managed to get most of my gear up to scratch and finish up my Disintegrate build that I've stuck to from day 1, and am now doing GRs. I find it extremely frustrating to do GRs with an unstable latency, ranging from 250ms all the way to 500ms and some spikes above that. It just gets painful trying to play at times. Can't count the number of times that potting or casting Frost Nova is delayed by latency and hence causing my death.

I also find doing GRs more and more stressful. I have to walk a F-load distance just because 5 Elites decided to drop every damaging affix possible on top of me at the same time. Does Blizzard even understand how stupid that is? It's not about how much toughness I have. It's about how ridiculous their mechanics are. Making monsters do more damage is one aspect of challenging, but dying faster many times simply makes for a frustating and depressing game.

So many things are poorly thought out from the start, and takes too long to fix. They really need to rebalance A5 monsters - some just do a ridiculous amount of damage. They need to take off the damage from Jailer and DoT from Frozen, and make Thunderstorm casts not stack if 5 are casted on the same spot. Horde Wallers are simply wasting time if I can't hit them and they can't hit me. In a time-limited GR, those things really don't make sense.

And there's something about encouraging diversity by incentivising other builds, versus doing so by punishing certain builds.

Think I'll save crafting materials so that I can craft another dozen or so Devastators, since the game doesn't want to give me my Slorak's Madness.
