increasing your own atk spd does not increase your hydra's damage, as its damage is based on your base weapon dmg and int

the damage displayed on your character board is your average dps, meaning around that dmg will be dealt if you attack for one second. on the other hand the damage you see you do is only affected by your base dmg and primary stats.

nope. you try unequip a skill slot, meaning that it will do 100% of your dmg. then you use magic missle = 110%, you will see what i mean

just put it in this way.
if you put 1 100 int ring, then the damage number that you actually do to a monster per hit = 100% more of base dmg.
if you put 1 10% atk spd ring, the damage number you do to a monster per hit is the same, but you atk 10% faster.

if you have high base dmg and low atk spd, atk spd adds more to dps and vice versa.

anyone try if atk spd also affects hydra's atk spd?

Force Armor capped at 100% means that if the mob is dealing damage more than your max hp, you will get one shot-ed. It stills works the same if mob cannot 1-hit ko you.

currently using hydra/blizz kiting. magic weapon for extra dps, energy armor, teleport as escape mechanism.
