hmmm I haven't felt like playing again since my 5-day break for a trip. maybe a sign that it's time to start playing in groups instead of soloing. I did want to finish hell by myself, but it was getting pretty frustrating last time I played - not the act bosses so much as the champion and boss mobs. Some of the special ability combinations were pretty much impossible for my current character to beat, and others were incredibly tedious to beat, knocking off one guy at a time in between madly running around. I think I need better equipment if I want to get much further solo.
I played Hell in a group and depending on who you're with, it can actually be more difficult as the monsters scale up. I played with one other Barbarian and we did amazing, however later I played with a random group and basically rage quit as we couldn't kill Belial, so I just left the game and did it solo on the first try.
And yeah, some of the Champion packs can be rough. Jailer, mortar, vortex, invulnerable minions, etc. Sometimes you'll run in to a pack that your skillset is just not equipped to deal with and it gets painful.
