how is that worth 3m+? Is dps that much more important than crit damage?


It's actually worth more than 4m, but since I wanted it to sell quick I put it up for 4m. It's a pretty good weapon tbh, 600 LoH and 70 crit damage with 900 dps, pretty average gear.

Any good daibo-only builds out there? I want to use crippling wave or the extended attack, if possible. I have no idea how to play this class so I'd take any builds gladly.

Hey, can anyone evaluate my gear? I'm not sure what to upgrade first. I can fight most of Act 3, dying to Ghom and certain Elites. I want to be able to survive through all of it at while clearing runs at a decent pace. I only have about 6 million but I am willing to farm some more if it is necessary. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GuitarGuy-1894/hero/8562073

I suggest you start moving away from attack speed to crit chance and crit damage.

I would upgrade in the following order:

1. 55 ring (crit chance + crit damage/attackspeed + dex/resist/min-maxdmg)
2. 62 ring (same)
3. Weapon (socketed and LoH)
4. Gloves (need crit damage in there)
5. Amulet (crit chance + crit damage + resist at least)
6. Get an offhand for dual wield (dex socket loh, dps is less important, get crit rating as well if possible)

These should easily get you to 40k dps. If you were in EU I'd give you good deals with weapons.

You also have low HP and could use better resists, but you are in a bind since your pieces with HP have low resist and your pieces with double high resist have no HP. I've been there, and it's really hard to find upgrades with a budget. I suggest just camping the AH especially for weapons, sort by time remaining and refresh like a mad man.

What do you think I should be upgrading next? I was thinking my right ring, but then I don't know. Would it be a bad decision to get a really good vit/dext/double res/high crit chance shield instead of a 2nd weapon?

Not a bad decision if you enjoy playing sword&board, but it would be suboptimal. I think you are at the point that you can move away from LoH towards Life Steal. You can get good deals for a socketed + crit damage + dex + lifesteal 700-800 dps weapons in the AH, I got myself one for around 600k in this AH crazyness. And yes, second ring is pretty bad.

After that, swap your evasion mantra with overawe, swap transcendence with Resolve and let the magic work. If you are killing stuff comfortably, you can sell your blackthorne medal later on for an crit chance crit damage dex resist amulet.

Although you are in a bind as your mainhand is pretty good and without Lifesteal, if it were me, I would sell it high after swapping transcendence as spirit regen will be unnecessary, and buy a similar one with lifesteal.

7 sided seems to be a pretty damn good skill now. Not at the point where I can one shot uniques, but doing anywhere from 500k-1.5mil depending on crits in a small AoE basically instantly is pretty damn good. Kinda fun running around act 1 where I can pop one skill and blow up basically every single unique pack in one shot.

FoT,SW,overawe and breath are pretty core skills though, and I don't outgear by enough to drop serenity for blind though for some real shenanigans in act 3.

Interesting advice, thanks. Did they change lifesteal or what? I noticed the stat was higher, but it used to be highly reduced, was this changed?

I've used overawe quite a lot lately, but I was running with friends who are much better geared than me (barbs) and I had to be in the middle of 2-3 packs often so I needed more armor.

I've been using Transcendence simply because I found this Fist and I haven't been able to replace the LoH that I lost on my previous one. Feels like I'm really fragile if I don't regen at least that bit more life, but maybe Resolve is better anyway, hard to say.

You can read more on lifesteal here. I was at around 35k DPS struggling to get good LoH weapons when I read that, said what the hell and switched instantly to lifesteal. Wtfpwning A3 ever since.

I dropped 7 sided for Blazing Wrath again as it was annoying to try and stack up a pack only I have them spread out and chase my follower/party when the animation starts. I still like blind+wrath before casting sweeping since they haven't fixed that bonus yet.

I am a fist + board monk atm and like how shields all got access to higher stat rolls. I'm rocking a Hallowee Barrier with 200+ dex, crit, with innate 25% block, 65 all res... and cost 1m since its crafted. Same with the fist... Cheapest 1.04 monk weapon IMO.

Yup. i agree. When ure able to do act 3 inferno comfortably, you should aim to start pwning shit up fast. I made the switch recently, and ive been able to just hold left click and run through act 3 mainly. Still get killed by the occasional phasebeast pack. Your gear must be good enough to be able to do enough damage to make it worth it. I run 6% lifesteal with cyclone and conviction with overawe, with breath of heaven damage buff. The amount of AOE damage you do will be more than the LoH.

Anyway just a random thing i noticed recently, Won Khim Lau unique fist weapon is pretty amazing and cheap on the AH, especially if you run FoT,cyclone combo. The 20-25% lightning skill damage boost is amazinggggggggg. I recommend you guys to try it out

You can change your helm/shoulder (need more dex) and on your bracer too (the double res is pretty low)
You can gain dps by buying an amulet (with AS/crit chance) and AS/crit chance on your gloves
Your LoH weapon has low dps.
If you dont have ms on your boots, try to get 200+ dex.

I would start with boots, get 200+dex, 70ish vit and high resists. this way you can sacrifice resist in other pieces.

get crit-critchance amulet, crit+attackspeed gloves, socket your pants with dex instead of vit. you need a lot more dex.

your weapons are fine, especially your offhand is above your gear level in general.

new belt and bracers for sure. no dex there is really hurting you and with 10m you can easily afford to upgrade both.

you can also get away with replacing your amethysts with emeralds. you have more than enough hp even without them. i farm a3 with 27k hp lol

you have 4 items (including belt) with no dex, take a wild guess as suggested above me, you can drop your hp as low as 30kish. Swap transcendence with resolve.

Really wish I could find something to replace the LoH on my ouroboros. Found 2 upgrades so far that I can't afford to swap in because of the large life on hit.
