Why do you have Cold Blooded? Doesn't it only buff cold damage? You're dps moves are Energy Twister (Arcane) and Explosive Blast (Physical). | ||

That is because the damage buff is applied to all damages as long as the enemy is slowed or frozened (unless this was patched or hotfixed). | ||

I didn't know about that. I just went with the description "Cold damage dealt to chilled and frozen enemies is increased by 20%." | ||

This is what you do, if running act 3 continue what you're doing and get better gear there is no real shortcut except getting more life on hit on your amulet and a ring with loh and crit not crit dmg if you die to some packs. If running act 2 which is far more efficient and faster no matter how good gear you have for act 3. Get source with ap on crit and crit change, a helmet with crit and ap on crit and a weapon with ap on crit and loh. Change your diamond skin to the shattering one and watch as your damage is trippled with one spell. Use wormhole constantly to teleport around looking for elites and replenish it and your mana by using twisters, use your 1000+ loh as your way to survive any encounter instead of your diamond skin. If act three you can also use this, but notice you need 1500+ loh to do it. Critical hit damage is good, but using diamond shatter skin thing is 10 times more efficient and easy to afford by using loh and that as your tankiness and damage instead of crit damage. | ||

What items do u think I should upgrade first and what stats I know my ar is a bit low but not sure what to change out first. See if you can get a weapon with similar or better base DPS/Intelligence, but also an open socket and/or better base critical hit damage %. The critical hit damage % increase should add a good bit to your DPS assuming you also at least maintain the base DPS/Intelligence. 53% is okay but you should be able to improve it without spending an absurd amount Also, you should definitely upgrade the DPS on your source. Try to get one that has at least ~60-300 base damage or so, favoring crit chance (at least 7 or 8%) as your next stat, and then intel/vit/whatever. | ||

I think you have more than enough defensive stats. You probably don't have enough AP on crit to sustain against some packs. I would replace either the shield or the weapon (I'd say shield since your stats are pretty good already) with one with 9-10 AP on crit (and more 7.5+ crit chance of course). I ran 29 AP on crit in the past and it was overkill, currently I find 18-19 to be more than enough. Edit: a little more crit chance wouldn't hurt either | ||

He certainly needs a better source, but with damage that high plus 7-8% crit and apoc is gonna cost a fortune. | ||

Yes, you definitely need LOH (if you are talking about WW build. Remember that now, you will have to tank all the damage from standing still. LOH is the only way you will be able to regenerate all the life that you lose from tanking all the damages. | ||

(in term of survivability of course) Assuming you keep everything else around the same and get around the same amount of int on the source as on the shield, you'll still be at 1k all resist, 6k armor, and 36k hp. That's plenty of EHP considering you have massive LoH. I mean if you really like the shield you could switch out the sword for a wand with AP on crit/crit damage (and LoH if you want) but then you gotta worry about not having enough HP as a buffer since you're gonna be losing that 244 vit from the sword. Not to mention if you want LoH on the wand it'll be pricey. | ||

Not to mention if you want LoH on the wand it'll be pricey. So, I bought a 4m source to try it out. the AP on crit definitely helps, I see that more tornadoes around. It seems that I do die less in the beginning, but beyond Seigebreaker, it's just not possible anymore. The fat guy just 3 hits me. Also, I can't tank ghom anymore (need to switch back to sheild to kill him). | ||

Your DPS will jump a lot though by doing this | ||
