slow time good ah ? what it does ? cast liao like nothing happen, i switch back to the aoe freeze

It makes no sense that att speed increase dmg, unless is in a ideal situation where mob stand there let u free hit or other character that can continue spam skill which we call DPS. Instead of looking at the info display by the game, i think the best way is to see the dmg done on mob itself. I dont think attack speed can do higher damage on mob in single hit compare to int.

Here it is http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/5825330/Di...-5_23_2012#blog

Can anyone explain what is the "new" FORCE ARMOR mean ?

Ermm sorry i a bit noob, does this mean those with 4k HP build now if mob dmg is 5k (over 100% of max life) then is 1 hit KO ? but if mob dmg is only 4.5k then it stay the same right ?

At which level ? Hell ? Inferno ? i used to think so too but now i change from +dmg (ring, amulet) to INT. Those +dmg (ring, amulet) i found at most +7-12 dmg+socket but i am now using 90 INT+50 VIT ring, 140 INT+70 VIT amulet (can get below 20k at AH) which give better dmg wor.

170k dmg everybody will be one shotted, only char with high evasive stand a chance. So after the latest nerf still got ppl can clear Inferno ?

want to ask sifu at INFERNO, u guys still using 2 handed ? 1 hand + source ? or 1 hand + shield ?

1 hand
- rich (1 hand and source need more gold)
- use a lot signature spell (no AP cost spam fast means more dmg)
- ice beam & archon will benefit from attack speed
- more stats
- harder for strong mob, if run no time hit = no dmg

2 hand
- not rich
- use high AP skill (attack speed means nothing if AP can only cast 2 spell)
- use blizzard & hydra
- can marathon easier, cast then let spell do the dmg and concentrate running

but if u have enuff gold to have 1 hand and source = 2 hand dmg then 1 hand is always better, 2 hand is cost effective for those who just reach inferno and need gold to upgrade their gear also.

Do not get mislead by the DPS on the weapon or the damage on the detail, is a number calculated by blizzard formula for noob frenly. Just like adding attack speed will instantly added damage on the detail make no sense. That is because those noob frenly figure are calculated by a perfect environment where mob stand there let u free hit. Even if u added attack speed (+12%) but still doing 1 spell per 2s (either no AP or running from mob) how it gonna increase ur dmg ? For real dmg, see the number below the DPS or see the dmg done on mob. For Wizard that use blizzard + hydra, if u going for 2 handed, choose mace instead of sword even it display the same DPS for both weapon.

Since u said u use a signature spell yes 1 hand is better, i just wanna point out those DPS u mention does not reflect ur real dmg.

Ya, compare 2 same DPS mace and sword, mace have higher dmg but lower speed, there is not much to spam if is using blizzard + hydra so attack speed means little thus pick the higher dmg one, 2 handed bow is the worse min and max dmg range too big. Ya me too would like to switch to 1 hand but i am just too poor guess i am gonna stuck with 2 hand till i complete my gold find equipment but to match 1 hand + source dmg = 2 hand dmg need massive gold

Erm depend on ur skill build and preference, like Sky.Life he use signature spell thus attack speed is important to him because signature basically is 0 cost so u can spam as much as u like, so the faster attack speed the more u can spam, the more dmg u done. But for me i dont use signature spell, i switch between blizzard/arcane orb/hydra these cost a lot AP so is not really spam-able, and blizzard and hydra rely on ur dmg to deal higher dmg not attack speed.

I think if u not going to use signature spell then go for big 2 handed dmg, well of course if u can afford a 1 hand + source with same dmg as 2 handed then of course 1 hand is better.

If u going for spamming signature spell then 1 hand is the way.

If u refer to blizzard formula DPS then yes, by just equip an item with +attack speed ur dps and dmg will up. But that is only true when u can stand there and keep spamming skill, while in inferno solo, u spend more time running than casting spell.

24% MS that is almost the max MS can get, can name those legendary/set u use ? and i think those stack resist they are going for Prismatic Armor instead of Force Armor, since is 40% increment means the more u have the more it increment.

gratz, guess u will be seeing him more soon, farm elite + warden at there when 5 buff go find pudge again

siegebreaker inferno good farm ? i think of so many elite there i headache liao, need marathon so long some more tight space

if u already comfortable with ur current gear (no problem farming with it) then i suggest go for the best gear 10m per part (those 70+ resist, high int vit armor) rather than 1m per part which later u need spend gold again to upgrade it. if u are unsure about getting wat gear then use the gold to buy the best dps weapon this will not go wrong.

if u really cant kite it then u have to lure it to a isolate corner then die there, respawn at check point and skip it.

want to ask an item with +8000hp to health globe = same to how many vitality point ?

O.o means when i pickup health globe it add 8000hp to it ? and not + own vit ? oh that sark hehe

At level lower than inferno, just constantly refresh ur weapon or gear at AH u will beat the game easily but dont spend big as u will past the lvl very fast.

can i ask ur 1hand+orb = how many dmg ? dmg figure not dps and wat is ur int ? i am having 1.3k dps 2 handed cant remember wat is my int need to go back only can check but dmg didnt reach so high.

thanks for reply, a lot numbers i just check my int was 1730 but with my 2 handed mace + magic weapon + sparkflint + glasscannon still only reach 40k dmg
