I thought I had found the worst combo (for melee at least) - arcane, molten, desecrator
until.....
arcane, extra life, horde :cry: Usually I can take out one of the monsters quickly which means you get one less arcane to worry about, but with horde AND extra life... sigh. I dont want to know what will happen to me when horde is switched out for health link.
 
<Arcane, Molten, Plague, Fire Chains> as Melee in Halls of Agony corridors has been my worst

As much as people rage about the ridiculous combos in Inferno, it's a LOT of fun (in the extremely challenging sense) :p

We (Barb and Monk) found 3 wretched mothers - Horde, Molten, Extra HP, Fast... now it sounds easy enough, except we must have gone through 150 zombies before actually reaching them, then we were kited across the zone :o

Agreed, its such a sense of achievement when you kill a mob without dying when at first you were sure you wouldnt make it
 
Worst elite I've faced so far was a group of the little jumping things in Act 1 Inferno as a Barb.
Jailor, Molten, Desecrator, Vampiric. Once I've used WotB, I have little to get me out of jails. All that would happen is the thing would jail me, then cast that eruption on me.... which seemed to heal him back to full health :cry:

My worst traits to see on elites/champs are: Arcane enchanted (even though you can try run away), Molten, Firechains and on creatures that don't melee attack, Mortar.
 
My WD hit 60 on Friday. Mortar + fast + whatever mobs in inferno are the worst.

Try Horde with Illusionist... Not fun.
 
As a Barb, shielding-dese-extra health-avenger has been the worst....
 
Worst for my monk so far has been Extra Health, Vortex, Horde, Arcane enchanted in Act 2. I mean I don't even get a chance to run away. I'm pulled in every direction but the one I want and 9/10 on top of an Arcane orb.
 
Meh, faced a champin mob with Horde, Invulnerable, Molten, Vampiric. Had to leave that grouo as the I could never lower the dps as the minions are always shielded. Coupled with my love for Molten/Vampiric combo's, I would last about 10 - 12s, have the champ almost dead and then be killed by a hit like 30 metres behind me. By the time I was able to find the mob again, the champ was at full life :(
 
So Far the worst for me by a sensational MILE just because of their general passive skill let alone the affixes they get was the Phase beasts in ACT 2.

, Chain link molten Extra Health,Mortor. Kite and they chase you with mortor,obviously theyre not quick but with their invis,if you blink and the link goes of you are dead in a second.

IF someone would be so kind as to give me some approval here,to my knowledge Hell act 4 and act 1 act 2 inferno have all drop the same gear but at slightly different rates.Ie same item level catergory.

With this in mind,is it not more worthwhile farming Hell act 4 as its quicker? The quicker I can farm the cash the quicker I get to my target of 60k HP as a monk

Bud I cannot 100% confirm, but it does sound familiar.
I would do this farming quickly though, as the patch notes for 1.0.3 highlight how and where ilvl's will drop... Hell not being a viable place to farm for high ilvl gear anymore.
 
Patch 1.03 drop rates in here
Hell Act 4 wont drop iLVL 63 items at all, and iLVL 62 is 4 times as likely to drop in inferno act 1

Wasted stat for a monk to be honest... more HP is great, if you have your damage reduction at 70%
