'bout 32k hp, 5k armor, trying to gold farm to get more.
what bothered me 'bout the Terror Demons themselves was that I survived easily with Diamond Skin, but they popped out of nowhere so I never had time to react unless I had already died once and knew where they were lol

Normally i would agree, but i just got oneshotted today by one of those mobs repeatedly.
Running act4 with 48k HP, 460 phys-res and a pretty normal armor-value. (dunno...from the top of my head something around 3,8k ? could be total bullshit though :D)
Unless the 1 or 2k more armor does fanfuckingtastic i dont think my gear is inadequate.
//edit: and of course force armor was active, running without ds though

Yeah I was just curious. Terror Demons are undoubtedly some of the most dangerous enemies in A4, and they hit hard as hell. Guess we all just need to keep stacking armor/resists like every other class.

I have 41k hp and 30k dps (and shitty resistances, like 300 with prismatic armor). Overall i'm pretty under-geared, which is why i get murdered in act 2 (no, the game isn't too hard).

Yeah you would probably increase your EHP a lot but subbing out some vit for resist all gear. Try plugging in your char stats in an EHP calculator.

now that i learned that stacking life reg isnt that useful what should i focus on?
some stats via items: 25k damage, 30k life, still 1,5k life reg (need to replace it), 30% attackspeed, +120 all resis leading to 250 in char screen, 12% faster run and around 65% damage reduction
i searched the complete time for cheap things in the ah and thought my gear is very nice. act1 works like butter if i get hit i am instantly at full health again and i can take many hits.
i know i should be able to go to act2, did the first quest though, but its still not easy or am i doing something completly wrong?

How do you wizards kill champion soul rippers?

Found like a 55 all resist, 12 attack speed, 60 int, 8.5% crit gloves. If only the int and attack speed were higher =(. Oh well, pretty damn godly for how I'm building. Got a 3k dps increase off my old gloves 130 int, 55 res, 8% crit. I think I'd rather have crit dmg and high crit chance though, not too sure. Also I've been talking with some other high level wizards/witch doctors and they really like crit over attack speed. After you stack attack speed to a certain point it starts falling behind crit.
I'd also like to mention that crit dmg doesn't calculate into the dps of the weapon. If you find something like that it usually does significantly more damage than another weapon with the same dps. My friend got an 800 dps weapon with 97% crit dmg that gave him 3k more damage than a 870 dps weapon.

lot of people just get increase attack speed to raise their DPS then go back to Blizzard hydra + 2hand weapon ... i dont even -_-

I was going to link it but I lost the damn link and now I don't remember where it was. If I find it again I'll link it but I'm positive there is one out there.

It's not dumb actually. Many spells actually care about DPS instead of damage and attack speed is just the best DPS boost item. AP efficiency is often not that much of an issue with most wizard builds, especially since you have to kite a lot anyway.

Hey, people like seeing big numbers. I know I feel a little down whenever I replace a piece of gear with attack speed, even though I know I'm actually getting an upgrade.
One way of seeing it is that as long as you -never ever- reach 100% arcane power during a fight, you don't need more attack speed. If you start reaching 100% often (while kiting or whatever), get more.

Let's say you do 20k dmg in 2 seconds, but then you have to wait another 5 seconds for your arcane power to regen before you can actually cast again. Compare that to 20k dmg in 4 seconds, but you only wait 3 seconds. Your "DPS" Is still the same over 7 seconds. The attack speed gives you versatility in that you can kite better, but it doesn't give you more damage.

Well there's no way for them to include it in the weapon dps because that appears the same to everyone, and not everyone has the same crit chance (obviously).

What wizard build isn't AP starved and cares about attack speed? I don't considering stacking attack speed in a bunch of slots so my blzzard animation is 40% faster reasonable. And if you're doing the AO build you're AP starved.

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/pfkHL.png) Which two rings would you pick? I'm tempted to say the top two but the bottom right is pretty nice with the physical resistance + armor. I currently already have 2 other pieces of gear with attack speed so I think the bottom left is definitely the last place here even though it has the highest paper dps increase.

There is exactly one case of note that I can think of, and that is seeker missile spam in a group against bosses.
