The biggest problem I have with switching from 1 handed with source to 2 handed is the loss of Vit and Int that will occur. In order to not lose any stat points I would need a 2 handed with 200+ Int and 200+Vit. I checked AH and that right there jumps cost up over 5 million. I have not quite 1 million currently. Furthermore, the damage range has to exceed the combined total of my 1 hand + offhand, which is about 1000 on the high end right now (don't have the exact numbers in front of me) and 400 ish on the low end. I'm completely ignoring AS because that doesn't factor in on Blizzard damage (granted it does for the venom hydra), and I want to limit the factors I am dealing with.

Eh unless you're using a slow projectile like arcane orb as your main source of damage, there really is little reason to switch to a 2h from 1h/source.

I use magic missile with seeker and arcane orb with the increased damage (+venom hydra) so it is in my best interests to use a slow 2h. With ~50k damage, I crit arcane orbs in the 130k damage range and crit magic missile for around 60-70k. If you really just kite and use Blizzard, you might as well stick with your 1h/source.

i have about 1.5m (sold a legendary drop 800k) working on A2 Inferno. 21k dps with a 722dps 2-hander (with 250 dex and 110 int). Its not too bad, have to skip some of the ridiculous elites tho.

is a 1400dps blue 2-hander worth it? how much will it increase my dps ?
I'll lose 250 dex (8% dodge), 110 int (~1500 dps?) and 110 vit (4k hp) :/

I just use AO with tap the source and temporal flux as my main kiting spell. Thinking about switching to Obliteration..

This seems like a nice build for wizard to solo inferno. You need good gear to make it work though. 128k dps.

Did someone figure out how to beat Belial when your gear is shitty? I'm using the standard blizz/venom hydra shenanigans, with magic missile, diamond armor, force armor, magic weapon. But I keep getting slaughtered. Should i drop something for teleport?

Belial really is disproportionately hard IMO. I skipped him and have done the first half of act3 relatively easily when I was struggling pretty hard to get to phase 3 on Belial with the same gear.

You'll increase your dps by 75-80%. There are much better ways to get defense than rely on 250dex on your weapon.
