you alternate with your crossbows and get a 15% attack sppeed bonus.
With quivers giving like 14% IAS and 2hand ranged weapons have 1/3 more dps, i dont see the use of them.

Is there a way to view the stats of the items you have sold in the auction house? I just started using it and it would be great to see what is selling for what price, for future reference.

Yes, join the general chat channel.
I know, it seems strange, but it works, and it's not a placebo effect. This keeps you connected to the server somehow. The problem is related to your router, you could also plug your computer directly into the modem.

Is it viable to play through all the content with talents specialized to be a Melee Wizard?

Check the "completed transactions" tab? Or is that only for items you've bought...
Q. Is there a visual that shows me when Magic Weapon is active, or do I have to open my inventory and check my dps to see whether it expired or not? Also it doesn't have a cooldown -- does it deactivate if you cast it and then swap it out for another skill? Because that would be silly if it didn't.

I've been a tankwizard since lvl 1, and so far I've gotten to act I hell without any problems at all. Its different than most forms of tanking though, since a lot of your tanky power comes from diamond armor so it takes some clutch control knowing you can take the pain till your next shield is up or not, and lifesteal is HUUUGE since as a tankwizard you only do AoE damage and can get pretty lifesaving returns off of a huge round of meteor spams.
Also, I just unlocked the passive which gives you a chance to reduce the CD of your spells by 1 second on every crit. I'm combining that passive with frost nova (glyphed to give 15% crit if I hit enough stuff), meteor (star pact for spamming) and the explosive blast/wave/thingywhatever (with instant explosion glyph).
Start off finding a big ole pack of doom, call down 2-3 meteors, run into good location and freeze them in the meteor path before it lands and get that crit bonus, and hit your instant explosion BEFORE the meteors all hit. Once the meteors come down you should get enough crits (while spamming healing spectral blades for more crits/life/damage) to bring back your nova diamond armor and explosion, and you can chain it like that until everything is dead with diamond armor never coming off.
But if you fuck up at all you die lol.......oh shit, that wasn't very simple, sorry.

About the real-money auctionhouse
My country of residence, as registered at battle.net, is Europe. If I move, or for other reasons want to be able to use the american real-money auctionhouse, will I be able to do that by changing country or residence in battle.net later. Or am I stuck with my first "choice"?
appreciate any knowledge on the matter

So, does anyone have any idea about the +weapon damage %? For example, this item:
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SyVOK.jpg)
Does this mean:
A. 335.6 is already including the +12% damage
B. it's 335.6 + 12% * 335.6 ?
C. your overall damage * 1.12 ?
|
(160 + 357 + 70 + 191) / 2 = 389 mean base damage (with a part of it being poison)
389 * 1.12 = 435 mean damage (damage % bonus)
435 * 1.3 = 566 DPS (attack spead)
I don't know...
[edit] this is wrong, poison damage comes after % bonus damage, see below
|
% attack speed is for the weapon itself only, so i would assume this is the same.
should be included in the dps in-game.
|
it looks like the DPS number it represents is just BASE dmg / BASE speed. It corresponds to the calculation:
Average hit: ((160+357)/2) times (1.3) hits a second = (336.05)
So youll have to 'add' the 12% damage and added poison damage manually.
I dont know the order of calculations from there.
|
Here's another one. People seem to have different opinions about it.
Does ARMOR reduce MAGIC damage also because in the tooltip it says reduces ALL damage. And since magic attacks can be dodged....

It's actually (160+ 357)*1.3 /2
The +% dmg and +dmg are factored into the damage numbers shown at the top
(Proof: This being a rare crescent axe has the following base properties: http://d3db.com/item/i/crescent-axe, and the values given are beyond the theoretical maximum without applying the %age bonus)
There is hidden bonus damage by the addition of primary stats which will add (x/100)*base dps ontop of any dps increase provided by this.
Additionally IAS is calculated in a similar manner when it comes to the item card.

Some wizard and general item ability questions:
First of all, do abilities such as "% life stolen per hit" and "chance to stun/chill/freeze" apply to spells? If I hit a huge crowd of guys with a big meteor or disintegrate, do those effects proc on the AoE damage to all the enemies?
Weapon damage types and spell damage types:
As a base question for spells with just "% weapon damage".... If I have a weapon with +5-10 cold damage, does that make Spectral Blades do all damage as cold damage? Or just a fraction? What about the weapon modifier "3% cold damage" (I see that on some uniques).
Then, can weapon elements override spell elements? How would those weapon modifier affect a spell like Magic Missle which says "% weapon damage as arcane"?
Ultimately, could I get an off-element spell like Shock Pulse to to do a full 20% bonus damage from the Cold Blooded passive?

Im watching Trump's Stream and he is switching to his "magical find gear set" everytime just before he kills captains. Is that confirmed to be working? If so thats a bad/stupid mechanic..

I can't seem to be able to do this...
searching on the 'All Damage' stat returns nothing every time. I cant seem to do it too, tried to search for a ring with damage but nothing show up.
How to know how much damage then? Can you see it if you click details (or w/e it's called)? Im thinking of the stat called "damage"

Q)
What are the best stats a wizard should be going for? Obviously intelligence, but then what, Vit, Crit, ?
Just started nightmare and I feel like my gear isn't doing the job properly.
