its ok as a monk i guess.

another issue is that 80% of players (thats a pretty random estimate) are DH.

So here's what inferno looks like:

join/leave/ join/leave/ join/leave/ join/leave/ join/leave/ join/leave/

Because all DH are looking for other classes and don't find it. Its literally a constant spam of join/leave because it's impossible to play with a proper party.

Plus there's some inferno elites you simply CANNOT kill as DH (when the whole elite group as reflect damage for example). you CANNOT have crazy DPS and crazy HP, so the more damage you do the faster you die. If you die/rez (with the increasing timer) the elite will go in rage mode after a while (kills you in 1-3s from distance, cannot dodge it) and while you're waiting, heal all the damage you've done. It just doesn't work.

One of the many reason why Inferno is not that fun. Most people just skip elites by doing run-die-run loops if they don't have a proper party.

I never play public games and only play with a group of friends, so I can't comment on that aspect. With regards to class distribution, I have a good mix of friends playing various classes (I think I only know one rolling DH).
Time to come to hardcore, no any DHs in sight. Tho you can easily find parties with 3 WD and nobody else :)
