Ok, so ive upgraded a few pieces of my gear tonight with the minimal gold i have lol. My weapon being one of them i was using a 640 or so dps weapon with 150 dex and a socket. I got a few life on hit items to help out. i want to start act 3 but I dont know the best approach. Here are a few screenshots of my gear/stats. I would like to know which of my gear i should replace sooner and what i should look to replace it with.
My damage is considerably higher than yours (almost double), while my armor is almost exactly the same as yours, but my resists are almost 300 less, and that makes all the difference. Winged Moloks and Shamans with the ranged fireballs absolutely tear me apart.
IMO, you just need to try and maintain your defensive stats while getting more crit chance and crit damage.
I've got about 5 mill now, if anyone has any items i could possibly buy. hopefully for not TOO much because i need to replace half if not most of my set. also a 244 str, 74 vit, andd 7% crit amulet if anyone wants to buy it.
I started act 3 with the same amount of DPS as you but I was dual wielding and had 529 resists and very low armor 3800 (unbuffed). Its definitely do able however I do suggest that you increase you HP, that will allow you to take some more. I completed act 3 last night with 729 resists, 21k dps (dw) and 52k hp can kill most elites only a few give me grief (horde, fire chains with mobs like phasebeast and small spaces)
I would say the easiest updagrades for you would be rings with crit and attack speed. Gloves with crit and ias/crit damage.
