While running Butcher / Magda inferno farms on my DH, I landed a legendary Xbow, Pus Spitter. Stat wise, it seems fairly in line with what I've read WDs are looking for... 540ish dps, 140 int, 4% Poison Damage 13% AS, and 40% Crit Damage.. I'm fairly new to the WD class, so forgive the question if it sounds rather noobish, however any input (aside from silly trolls :P) will be greatly appreciated. My WD just broke into 60, and I'm working on Inferno Act 1 (I'm progressed into Act 3 on my DH, and Monk). Thanks for the time.
I stopped at '540ish dmg', in inferno 2 handers can be 1k dmg NO PROBLEM. Since a WD is not a DH, the xbow is a 2hander for you, hence lost dmg from no off hand. 700 dmg 1handers in inferno drop fairly often and for me...tend to be salvaged.
When it comes to weapons DPS>ALL...stats can look nice but all that really counts on a weapon is ..
A: The Damage
B: The socket (whos gonna pass all that crit dmg)
Now if you find a slightly low dps 1h (700) or 2h (1k) but they have a socket AND bonus crit dmg...then you are in buisness because the crit dmg starts to really build.
IMO, keep farming, you aint nothin yet.
Plus you should be farming on your DH...hands down. Get to act 3, figure out wtf a "bunker seige run" is and enjoy!

Heh, thanks for the input. I do farm on my DH, and its by far my main toon. Hopefully I'll be further into Act 3 within the week. Anyway, thanks a bunch.
As well, you found a Legendary... which barring a leveling item for an alt, is under-budget horribly. At least until patch 1.1 when they get buffed. The problem there is, it won't be retroactive, so your legendary crossbow, will still have it's crazy-low stats (in comparison).
Yea I'm aware of the issues with Legendary stat / Damage budgeting and the pending buffs, which wont be retroactive.. I'll just continue farming the further acts and unload it on the AH.. Hopefully I'll get something decent for it. lol.
Only reason why I asked was it seemed at first glance like a fairly decent filler piece for a fresh 60, though with the drops I've been getting today, I'll just settle for selling it.
