http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Enickma-2780/hero/3372093 Don't know if I should get more DPS to kill stuff faster on MP5 or get more defense to better survive higher MP levels!? My thought is either gear for MP10 keys/ubers to make sure I get the damned drops even though the kill time is high. Or just continue doing MP5 runs since I think the 50% drop chance is fine but then just boost my DPS to make the runs quicker. | ||

or you can go endgame oriented and just spend the 100m in a good ar witching or tals. | ||

You'd lose 9ias and 12 movespeed. You can make the 9ias somewhere else such an AR tal's for cheap like ximae says, and the movespeed really doesnt matter for cm/ww as much as for archon or something | ||

I've just switched a belt and a bracer to a Witching Hour and a Lacuni Prowlers to get to 2.8 APS. But somehow I'm worried about hurting with my EHP too much if the added ticks doesn't justify it. I also went down from 54.5% to 49% Crit (with Scoundrel). Is that too big of a hit!? http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Enickma-2780/hero/3372093 | ||

attack speed is everything. more ticks is more crits - more AP back, more frost novas, and more life on hit (if you run that). if you have survival problems and you are using meteor drop glass cannon and use conflag | ||

I just can't believe that this kind of resource starvation is effective but Goddamn did Elites die fast! :D | ||

btw i look at your lacuni and it makes me sad, i dont think that was the wisest choice u just traded cc for ias.....upgrading the ammy would have been a smarter choice even if you lost some int and vit. | ||

the movespeed doesnt really matter for ubers and you definitely want crit anywhere you can get it(though attack speed is more important). but its just better to try to get attack speed AND crit | ||

so i've been on a long break and am so far behind on gear I don't even know where to start. ive been reading through the thread, but i'm not sure what specific gear i should look at for upgrading. i have around 50m to start and am just looking to improve my character overall for general farming. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Raphael-1207/hero/19954117 anyone have initial suggestions? any required breakpoints/upgrades i need to get address right off the bat? | ||

i peeked at ur toon and you have some major upgrading to do but the good news is the economy is so trashed right now that you can do miracles with 50 mill. a good cm will be sort of out of your reach for that budget but you could easily hit 200k dps or more with archon. you could start gearing for archon to start making money, but laying some decent base to be able to transition slowly into cm as some of the bis slots are the same but the difference really lies in that for archon u wil be getting more cd and for cm ias, cc is a given for both. edit 2: im adding you a couple guides: sustained archon guide: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6572969342 If u want a cheap and effective way to boost dps for sustained archon, get yourself a skorn u can even get it with life steal . i bought a 1400dps with 550 int for 2 mill and 1330 300 int with 5.3 ls for 8 mill. SNS CM guide: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/7200301791 ShockNadoShards you can only do when you have the armour/ar/loh requirements in check so if you want to gear for that and while you get ur defence in place you could always use cristal shell instead of shards and prismatic armour instead of shocking aspect, u will dealing half the damage but you will be able to survive well and freeze well as long as the aps/cc/apoc requirements are met. | ||

CD on my gloves/ring would probably be better than the IAS, but it makes it easier to spam Spectral Blade (and I don't want to swap even more gear when I switch to a CM build). With an Archon build you want good vitality/life (mine is a little low, imo), all resistance, armor, CC and CD. Life Steal is pretty necessary: a 2.7+ weapon is best (and very expensive for high dps) but you can get by on a lower amount/MW:BM and a decent amount of LoH/Life Regen. Just did a test and I was able to do sustained Archon runs on MP0 at 100k dps, 500 AR, 25k Life, LS from MW:BM, 700 Regen, and 4500 armor (all buffed values.) | ||
