Bravo Jeank, Belial is very hard. I think the other bosses are easier.

All your toons share the same stash. You can make up to 10 characters, so I just made a new toon, ran him into town, and used his bags for additional storage. It is a little clunky, but it works.

When I think I might have something in storage that the toon I'm playing needs, I run him up to the stash and put in whatever I'm considering.

I tried to be methodical so my monk banker holds dexterity stuff, my wizard banker holds intell stuff, etc.

I just kept running from him. He reminds me of that boss in World of Warcraft in, I think, Uldum. His movements were almost exactly the same. The only difference is there wasn't a place that you could stand back in and be completely safe.

By the way, when I finish the normal level, are the other levels the same story just harder? Or are they different areas?

Jean, L4L is under the weather today but I am sure she'll be back soon to answer you. I have not played Diablo III yet so I am sorry I can't help.

Ana

Ana, thanks so much for your help.

JeanK, the story is exactly the same. The gameplay gets harder and the loot gets better. I've made it through normal (which is sometimes considered practice), then Nightmare, then Hell, then Act 1 of Inferno...but the repair prices really inflate in Inferno (20-30K for me) so I'm not progressing there too much. I have read that Inferno is really meant for well geared groups, but then again, one can read anything!

Hmmm I probably won't play the other levels then. I generally lose interest after I've seen everything there is. I still have to get back to Skyrim, and World of Warcraft's expansion is coming out in Sept. I haven't been playing it much at all, but I did order the expansion.

Diablo 3 is really fantastic! I'm having more fun the further along I get. I wonder if they'll come out with expansions for it.

Son said they normally do. I know which way I'd like the expansion to go, but won't say so as not to spoil anything.

Thanks to my friend, Linda, I beat Diablo with her help today! I was on normal difficulty, and don't know if I want to progress with that toon if the story is the same. I'll probably go back to WoW and the Beta of MoP for now. I really enjoyed D3, but hope they'll do an expansion soon. Kinda felt it ended too soon. Thanks L4L for your help, too!

Bravo Andrea, that is a long fight!

Congratulations, Andrea!!
