QUOTE(Deckard Cain @ Jun 22 2013, 02:52 PM)
Would like to clarify a bit on SoJ part with elemental damage % added :

KaydenFox: Why was elemental damage cut? Burning fire, heal stopping poison, stunning lightning, healing holy… they all would have been great additions to game play.

Jay Wilson: Primarily due players preference of DPS over everything. As we played the game we found everyone just moved to the damage type that did the most damage. If we equalized damage they ignored ones that didn't have CC options. Case in point, we kept the slow on cold and gave it a lower damage budget and its the least used damage type now.


The effect of elemental damage was taken out and only cold effect remained. Meaning +% elemental damage on SoJ calculates as +% elemental damage as added damage to physical black weapon and does not proc any effect. Another from Jay W in regards to poison damage in d3

"poison damage does not work like D2. It does not apply a persistent effect, it’s a type of damage like fire or holy. Poison does not "poison" targets with a DoT effect. It's just another type of direct damage in Diablo 3 –JayWilson"

Meaning it does not proc as how poison damage did in D2, it's just basically an added damage % just like fire or holy. It is only incorporated in skills and not gears with elemental damage.

Travis: Applying innate benefits to each weapon type gets brought up a lot. While we don't currently have plans to make each weapon do something different, it isn't off the table. At the heart of that question, though, is the desire for weapons to be more than just a DPS number and that is something we would like to add, but that will most likely come in the form of elemental damage.

Elemental damage is something we are actively trying to find a good solution for. The stat already exists in the game, but currently it's just six different flavors of the same affix—Cold is the only exception in that it snares targets. One thing we are actively discussing is what kind of effects we could associate with each element and then add it not only to weapons but all damage sources of that type. We haven't finalized anything just yet, but we really want to make this happen.


FYI : Elemental Damage effect was actually incorporated during Beta but was taken out and only cold snare remained
Hope this clarifies it. Correct me if i'm wrong.

thanks for the enlightenment thumbup.gif

at one time, i had both cold soj and poison zuni boots. it seemed that the poison effect caused the cold snare to be less effective, possibly because zuni's 8% poison damage is higher than soj's 6% cold damage.
in the end i adjusted my gears to accommodate non-ms ice climbers and now my attacks consistently produce cold snare effect.

in dilemma because high dps low str low cd = lower tDPS, higher hota, and vice versa.

Just a question, how do you generate the initial fury?

if you use an LS EF as offhand, is it better to use mace or axe as mainhand?

recently I rediscovered the awesomeness of having EF on offhand, and high base damage main hand mace. can't imagine going back to EF main hand now.

I always using this setup bro biggrin.gif

my setup evolved like this:
axe/dagger > ls mace/cd ef > ef/ls sword (for a long time) > cd mace/ls ef

stayed on ef/sword for a long time because i couldn't afford mace/ef that can yield higher tDPS and hota dps. had to bear with fear on mh all that time.

fear on offhand makes d3 world a better place biggrin.gif

whats so awesome about it? u mean those 1.2 atk speed mace??

only mace and axe gives 10% cc weapon master bonus. but mace can roll very high base damage, and usually much cheaper than axe of the same stats.

trying s&b again, because the last time i tried it it was a failure. this time i use litany and add more AS to reach 2.5 BP, so a bit more tanky and leech back faster.

yeppp...true bro amir..

just lately having the thought whether reducing the damage taken by a certain margin (thru passive skills, -elite damage from gears & etc) at what point will 3%LS with xxxK DPS will be enough to sustain survival.

still...having 2 gear with total 5%+ LS above is still the best survival tools right now, just that stuff with LS is kinda expensive so just playing whether we can alternate that with damage reduction stuff
*
on my s&b setup, i have -14% elite damage, 7000 armor, 625AR, -6% melee, 197k unbuffed dps with passives, and 3% ls from ik belt. fairly easy to survive, vs most elite packs i can hota them face to face, even vs RD pack i can survive if they dont have insane combo like arcane+molten+plague etc. vs nasty combos i ww to kite them. most deadly combo is arcane+plague+waller+rd because i can't toe to toe and also cant ww freely.
