If they wanted to add an elemental dmg on top of your base dmg, they should word it as "Add x% dmg AS fire/arcane/cold etc." After reading that blue post, I'm really disappointed that blizzard could not come up with a better way to word this.. pfft. | ||

- If I use the passiv skill "Paralysis" (it says "Lighting damage dealt have 8% chance to stunt the target for 1.5 seconde") with a weapon that add 100-200 Lighting damage. Will I stunt the target with a 8% chance every time I hit him ? - Same goes with Magic Weapon and its rune "Electrify" (attacks have a chance to cause lighting damage, dealing 10% weapon damage as lighting). - My helm (storm crow) have "22% chance to cast a fiery ball of when attacking". It appears like "attack" mean "clic on target", because when I hold my mouse button, I never cast that ball but when I clic a few time (I'd say 6 on average), I cast that ball. Is this a bug or is it normal ? Thanks | ||

This is the best build in the world to grind elites and experience as fast as possible Im currently wearing grind gears only (mf) Also the tyrael might with boots give me 24% speed so its faster to get to new targets in archon mode I shall try to get level 100 paragon and get rich before pvp comes out. I will aim for super high defensive stats and high life regen per second for pvp to never die and rape everyone. | ||

Is this a bug or is it normal ? Only one I can say something about, since I use Storm Crow as well. I've noticed that it depends on which kind of attack you use. Lately I use Electrocute with Lightning Blast rune and for the fireball to trigger I always have to click again. If I hold down the mouse button it won't trigger more than once. Then I tried Shock Pulse with Piercing Orb rune and there you can hold down the mouse button and the fireball will trigger more than once. On top of my head I only know that it also triggers with Hydra and Blizzard. | ||

Does Critical mass reduce the cooldown of archon form if you crit while using disintegration wave in archon form and does disintegration form even crit to begin with, because i cant remember seeing yellow numbers doing that? Can someone answer these please? | ||

Don't know all of these Karah but moves like disentegrate and blizzard DO crit, but you don't see the numbers. I am unsure if those "crits" work with critical mass but I don't think they do. I think only the yellow numbers count as crits towards that. | ||

Hydra damage is based off of the dps on your stat sheet so crit/crit damage/attack speed all influence its damage. Not sure about blizzard but blizzard doesn't really do any damage. The beam in archon form does crit, the proc rate is 25% per tick. I'm not sure how many times it ticks per second but I'm guessing it doesn't tick very fast so that's why it's not very noticeable even with a seemingly high proc rate. You can check proc rates here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5149154265 | ||

Still working towards an unkillable pvp wizard, depending on how much they scale the dps. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/TheMooofDoom-1414/hero/4836088 - still working on getting a good vile ward and a better chest. And probably will be using sky splitter for pvp. | ||

Also the set bonus isn't important, i only got the wailing host cuz atm i need more armor than all res. And i couldn't find a ring with armor, all res, life regen, crit, etc that i can afford :s with a skysplitter, i would have roughly 3.6k life regen, 10k armor, 1.2k all res, and around 40k dps. I can hit higher armor and all res values with archon, but dont think ill be using archon mode for pvp. | ||

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/diophan-1432/hero/3286576 It seems like a 1hander+source has more theoretical DPS, as long as you can get a critical mass of crit and AP on crit to sustain your AP. Has anyone done this with the AO/hydra build? If so what are your crit and AP on crit numbers? | ||

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/kaiadam-1133/hero/12481 Using a 1h now because it just works so much better with CM, sigh. Even with +20 ap on crit, the orb dps was so much lower than the 2h, so if you're sticking with that spec, skorn's your best choice. | ||

0.9 speed (hammer) +damage +damage% +intellect +crit damage +socket [optional mod - pick one of: attack speed, +int/vit, or life steal/loh] On a doomhammer which is a better base item than Skorn. But honestly, that'll be the only reason it's better - it'll be on a better base item (so perhaps by 5%) The reason skorn is great though is it automatically has the first five of those choices pre-determined on the item already (and many at a pre-determined high roll), and it's guaranteed to be a non-elemental weapon which synergizes much better with +elemental damage% affixes that you find all over the place these days on the new 1.04 legendaries. The chances of finding a skorn with near-perfect stats is probably much higher than finding a near-perfect 6 prop doomhammer that has the above affixes. I'm going to go out on a limb here and estimate about 5000-10,000 times more likely. As for the new 1h legendaries - the only one that I think has any possibility is echoing fury, but the fear on hit is such a downer for me. Rares probably kick the shit out of all the new 1h uniques. The special affixes like extra bleed and angel spawns or whatever are all novelties but ultimately irrelevant - who cares about a 2k dmg/sec bleed when you're shooting out a 500k dps archon beam? | ||

Thanks Phael, I'll stick with my set up then since I hate the CM build. The Skorn was actually a drop for me. BTW I remember months ago when you were basically the only person running crit  | ||
