I'd offer you my old DH gear but I AH'd it all this morning.
Anything that doesn't sell I'll toss your way.
Go ahead and add me, Omja#1500. I'll be on when I get home

Don't you need to pay to put items on ah?

You lose part of what you "win". 15% iirc

Thought it cost a real 1$ to list non crafting mats

cost 15% of the sell fee.

Maybe when they open the RMT AH on 5/29.

Real money auction house isnt up so idk how they would charge you a real dollar. The AH is just way too laggy. went back 30 mins after i lost 3k and had a ruby in my completed... after i received a refund for it xD which is why i lost 1.5k for some odd reason...

Aha. Was not aware the DPS shown on the AH had min-max, damage+, and attack speed calculated in. I had realized it did not calculate INT and sockets though.
Even still, what's a little confusing is say you have Wand A and B.
Wand A: DPS=75
Wand B: DPS=65 INT+30
(I'm not sure if those are good examples, if not throw in stats with a little closer damage to each other)
How can I quickly figure out which wand is better? As someone already stated, when you hesitate in this AH the item is gone by the time you make up your mind. The extra few seconds it would take to calculate total damage could cost you the buy. They need a number to pop up and say, here is your increase or decrease in stats from what you have equipped at the moment.

As a Monk in inferno, and with the recent hotfixes all I'm doing now is piecing together a resist set. Sitting at 40khp 9kdps and 232 all resists atm. Not really wanting to try until I get around 300 resist but I'm about out of funds.

The short answer is that DPS (more specifically damage and attack speed) are at the base of all damage calculation (except spell damage because they don't have a speed), so you will almost always do better with a higher DPS weapon (and +damage gear, among other things) than you will with primary stat modifiers unless you're talking about a minimal amount of DPS vs a very, very large amount of primary stat.

Between reading D3 maths online and my own testing, that's my conclusion anyway... I still have yet to figure out how exactly dual wield affects things, and things that might interest you most, specifically wizard it seems, I have virtually no knowledge of.

mine is Vayne#1661

should've named it Yoruichi >__> but........demon hunter reminds me soo much of vayne from league :|

Think the easiest way to figure it out on a personal level would be to find a piece of gear with an open gem slot and test the differences in stats using different mods. Though I sure somewhere someone has the math done out just to lazy to look atm. Base damage and damage + gems having the highest boosts but its surely something like 1 damage = 5 int, str or whatever mod your character relies on.

Like FFXI there's no direct equivalence. For instance in the example provided, assuming no critical rate to keep things easy, and no other +damage items from rings etc, a character with a 65 DPS weapon and 30 INT would have an effective 84.5 DPS, which beats having a 75 DPS weapon with 0 INT. Obviously, a wizard with 0 INT isn't a very practical example, but that's what it would come out to.

More realistically however, if we have a wizard with 350 INT in other gear, the 65 DPS +30 INT weapon (380 total INT) will have (again ignoring crit) 312 DPS, where the 75 DPS weapon with 350 INT will pull ahead with 337.5 DPS. The 65 DPS weapon would need +70 INT to beat the 75 DPS weapon, and then only barely, and only while the equation doesn't change (such as getting more +INT gear, +damage gear, etc).

Auction house is still down =/

Also just my personal opinion but i think the lack of class selection was a turn off... Also why change necromancer to Witchdoctor? I admit that i had a laugh for a bit when i named my witchdoctor character billy and said "Arise chicken!" whenever i got into a battle...but after that i was like... i want necromancer again =/

Oh yeah forgot. my battletag is RainbowDash#1369

Anybody got any tips on which skills\runes to use for a noob-Witch doctor? :p
Let's say mainly for solo-play if that matters!

What level are you? so I know what all you have access to.

This is what I found online that many people agree is the best solo build for WD

Basically, point is to keep 4 skills on CD and spam Dire Bats. Never run out of mana unless you derp and don't keep 4 things on CD

I'm just level 10, but was looking more for what to aim for :3
And ty ^^,

Early game, just abuse your pets before they start sucking, then just abuse Locust Swarm and acid cloud

When do they start sucking?
Notice the lame wolfs die really really fast now after the skele king >_>

The wolves start sucking very fast. The big one lasted me through normal, but it still died almost right before the CD was up.

From what I can gather, Dual wielding simply averages the DPSs of your 2 weapons (whether it does this by alternating attacks or simply averaging each hit I'm not sure) and gives you a +15% attack speed bonus. In short, dual wielding is kind of similar to FFXI. It will only increase your DPS if the weapons have relatively similar DPS values. You also gain the benefits of all of the bonus stats on both weapons.

Also for reference, IAS% != Haste. 100% haste (in the ffxi sense) would mean infinite attack speed, IAS 100% just means you attack twice as fast. It is still an extremely potent stat though, and getting it on your rings/amulet/gloves is important if you want to hit those ridiculously high end-game DPS numbers.

Didn't really get a definitive answer as of yet, so just looking for more input.

Trying it before she buys it really isn't an option for her atm

try this

; ; Got home and wanted to beat act 3 tonight... and battle.net is dead.

Its working for me

<.<; Herp Derp... had peer block up.

well at least you know now :p

To add to this, attack speed also greatly increases your resource generation speed, which is a major boon in itself.
