Oh haha you're right. I guess that's what I get for watching MLG recasts while posting in the diablo thread.

I died several times in the cutscene between p1 and p2 because I couldn't move and got caged or got hit by a fireball ~~ Other than that I think I'm doing somethin wrong, I can manage p1 pretty easily I only die when she ports to me and close range fireballs my face. Never made it out of p2 because of the same shit, when it looks good my clone spawns right next to me and one shots me. Feels like stupid RNG to me :< avoid clone spawns by constantly moving, which you should always do anyway as a wizard. im not certain, but it feels like clones are supposed to spawn right in your face based on how often that happens when i am standing still (100% of the time actually). I just timed it so I was midway through a teleport-wormhole sequence when the clone spawned, leaving them far behind and unable to unload AO all over my face.

Hm, from my experience, standing still until the clone spawns, and just instantly porting away once he spawned worked best. He basically always spawns about 10m ahead of you in the direction you look, so running around is very dangerous because then he spawns right in you. Just stand at one spt and port ones he spawns.

hey guys,
I'm going to try switching to a 1-hand with off-hand, what damage should I be looking for on the off-hand source?
I currently have a 2-hand 1200 raw dps with 75 int/198 vit right now, what dps on the 1-hand and source should I get to be better than that?
and looking for off-hands on the AH is messy. I don't know how it's sorted.

The highest roll possible for an offhand is +110-405dmg so try to get as close to that as possible. This dmg scales with a fast weapon so your DPS may be inflated if you are running a build limited by AP.

Did Tyrael's damage get hotfixed today? Used to see him hitting for 30k in my siegebreaker runs, now he's hitting for like 1k

edit: But he still charges forward to every Treasure Goblin in the middle of 50 other mobs for you, so at least he's manly that way.

hey guys, for blizz+hydra combo, whats is better? 1h or 2h weapon?

I'm not building critical chance, so I've only got the base 5%.
I'm a little bit defensive, with 550+ all res, 45k hp, 45k dps right now with my 2-hander.
question: does diamond skin absorb damage take resistance/armor in effect?

It's almost impossible to get much higher DPS without getting crit/crit damage or getting way more attack speed than you need. So if you're not going crit, stick with the 2hander.

Attack speed currently at 1.44, using the MM/blizz/hydra build. I feel like if i go critical build, I need a much higher chance rate to make it worth the switch.

Is it worth it to see a spell get cast more often that does less damage? Probably not when you already have a good 2 hander and don't want crit 
To get something better I imagine you'll have to spend 5-10mil. Basically the only reason to go 1h+OH is for stats and your 2 hander already has decent stats.

Well I was hoping to still do the same damage per shot, but attack faster. I don't want to invest in too much ias stuff before nerf.
So I got this 2-hander now:

What 1-hander and off-hand I would need to match that DPS?

The math for comparing direct dps of a 2h vs 1h/oh is:
Look at the +damage of your OH. Add the minimum to the maximum then divide by 2, then multiply that number by the attack speed on your 1H weapon. Add this number to your dps on your MH and that'll be your final dps number when compared to a 2H.
This does not take into account any of the other stats, nor does it take into account the huge loss of damage that Arcane Orbs will do when switching to a 1H/OH due to the vastly faster attack speed. Just keep these facts in mind.
ps i'm poor taking donations on US server

sold this weapon for 2 million (1.7 after 15% off)

Now I kinda wish I kept it against Reflect Damage mobs... I think I underpriced it.

I finally killed Diablo on inferno ... God damn this fight was frustrating, standing near the edges fucked me up pretty good, after I figured out she only ports to you when you're near an edge it got so much more easier. The clones are still assholes though.
