I've not seen a 1h rare with more than 900.

I'm pretty sure this is happening because the "+% damage" affix doesn't roll as high any more. They increased the base damage for level 70 weapons and legendaries, but missed level 60 rares. (could be a holdover from the item level 63 vs item level 60 as well)

 

[mileS]

Rares are trash now, Blizzard wants everybody to wear Legs

weapons are yes. others can roll just as good if not better sometimes.

 

[The Omega Man]

Far from trash, but yeah legendaries are really good!

Yeah, dem Legs are good

weapons are yes. others can roll just as good if not better sometimes.

A perfect roll rare should match/surpass Legs, but I don't think that's the case anymore.

 

[JCizzle]

No 2h fix still...??? WTF! It's a gigantic bug, that should be their top priority by far. Ugh.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

1. Yes, the weapons DPS takes into consideration the damage added by the roll.
2. The latter. If you have %20 lightning, it only affects the lightning damage portion of your weapons DPS. Not the base damage on the weapon. So 20% lightning wouldn't increase a weapons DPS by a full 20% - much more likely it'll be about 5-10% based on the percentage of damage the elemental stat has rolled.
3. If arcane orb does 200% weapon DPS and you get 20% arcane damage it will do 200/100*120 = 240% weapon damage.

I think this is all true. I hope so anyway.. Happy to be corrected

Thanks a lot!! I think I got it now!

Whatever the reason for the situation, it's kinda fucked right now. If it's not a 1h leg you can toss without looking at it. Shit better be fixed by ROS release.

 

[Dahbomb]

I've not seen a 1h rare with more than 900.

No I have seen Rares more than 900s but they are operating like they did a few patches ago where 900 was a "good" roll and 1000 was a godly roll. Now 1000 roll is mediocre at best, 1100 is ok and 1200-1300 are the money rolls.

In any case it's pretty fucked up.

And I can't believe the 2H bug isn't fixed yet. Almost makes me not want to play the game (actually even if I did want to play the server is down).

 

[Shifty76]

I have some questions regarding item and skill affixes:

1- Is the elemental damage already included at the weapons overall dps that is showing?
2- Does the elemental damage rise the weapon dps by multiplying its value (elemental damage% x DPS) or by adding it to the weapon damage [(ed% x DPS) + DPS]?
3- What about a skill? (regarding the same question as before) IE.: The Arcane Orb that hits 200% weapon damage. How is that damage calculated? I mean.. the overall damage will be "only" 200% DPS or will it be summed to the weapon dps alone too?

Thanks!

1. Yes.

Dumb question: what happens if you equip say....one weapon that deals lightning damage, and another weapon that does cold damage? Say, an Azeurwrath and a Fulminator?

 

[Cathcart]

Boo, no mention of a fix for the Gibbering Gemstone not dropping.

well when you dual wield your attacks are alternated between each weapon

ooooooooh. very interesting.

that makes sense for autoattacking, but how about when you cast one big blast ability that's ordinarially physical like Monk's Pillar of the Ancients or Sudden Assault Seven Sided Strike?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I finally got a good item today, it's the first item to actually make me smile. I've now got 15% Arcane Orb on boots and helm, plus 15% cold on bracers.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I'd strangle small woodland creatures for a 2x pairs of Ice Climbers. One Dex and one Int.

WoL is mainhand only. Not sure about SSS.

You would do that......to us?

fuck man. all this time I've probably had weapons in the wrong hands expecting certain effects and benefits. When dual wielding, I simply assumed it didn't matter what hand the weapon was in.

years later, still learning how to play the damn game.

For Ice Climbers?

all I see are future rugs, luck charms, and accessories.

 

[mileS]

St3v3..... those Ice Climbers... WANT!

So I'm planning on finishing leveling up my DH to 60 I currently have a level 60 barb that I've had since day 1. I just want to ask, would it be worth my time having a DH? I've read conflicting things about how they handle at the higher difficulty levels and I've witnessed one of my friends getting destroyed pretty easily. I just want a class that fun and does high dps, I know I won't be able to take hits like my barb. I am also considering a wizard instead of a DH. Thoughts?

He probably had no life steal or LoH and had bad resists along with shitty gear. Any class with the right items are deadly

That was a pretty fun game until I realized I could almost double my high score just by hitting Up, Left, Down, Right over and over.5000+ points just doing that.

Threes, but that's only on iOS as far as I know.

What's a decent DH build right now? I'm leveling one, currently 48, and I'm just not feeling the one I'm using right now.

Currently using:
Hungering Arrow - Puncturing Arrow
Rapid Fire - Withering Fire
Caltrops - Hooked Spikes
Vault - Action Shot
Fan of Knives - Pinpoint Accuracy
Multishot - Burst Fire

Blood Vengeance
Cull the Weak
Archery

 

[Ashodin]

NA MUMBLE GAF!!!

DH is not very fun IMO. I'm not sure you'll ever really find a fun build until you get to level 60 and find a kindershot or soemthing.

 

[Yoshichan]

THIS.

IS.

WAR!

 

[crozier]

Grenade builds are super fun. I have a Krinder, but if I didn't I'd probably roll with Entangling Shot: Chain Gang, Rapid Fire: Bombardment, Marked for Death: Valley of Death, Rain of Vengeance: Anathema, Shadow Power: Gloom, and Vault. Then the +Dmg to slowed targets, +Dmg to targets out 20 meters, and grenadier. Maybe swap one passive for a hatred generator depending on issues there.

 

[JCizzle]

2H fixed.

Wooooooooooooo!
