I'm using a 2-hander that has 650 dps on it, some nice Int and crit.
The rest of my gear has a good smattering of Int/Vit/Crit.
I'm in Act 1 Inferno farming and I'm doing 17k dmg. I keep reading that other folks are at 20k+ damage.
So I need advice on how to get these numbers up. Is it a new 2-hander staff with more front end damage? Or gear that adds +20-100 damage?
I'm sure there are good combos of everything; more int, plus damage gear, etc. I'm just looking for help in what might be a little more beneficial than others.
I too am interested in boosting my DPS, i'm @ 17k on my Wizard and i'm doing fine so far on act I inferno, but I feel like i'm in for a rude awakening in act II.
+ Damage helps like you said and combine that with increased Attack Speed to get some impressive numbers. I've tried to have a decent to huge increase of my main stat on every piece of equipment.
Also I like using one-handers because I feelt their increased number of attacks per second trumps the increase in raw damage you get with a two hander. Of course I may just think that way because I am using a Monk with Life on Hit on both weapons. Most of the time I'm able to leech more life than the mobs take off (except those stupid never to be sufficiently damned Fast/Molten/Desecrator mobs which regularly hand me my ass).
The biggest thing is your weapon DPS. I recently upgraded to a 1220 dps weapon, and with force weapon and familiar I'm at 48k damage, which was about an 11k dps upgrade simply by getting a weapon with 300 more dps.
So simply stacking as much int, and getting as high DPS weapon as possible should get you to the higher numbers. The harder part is also getting items with vit/mf/resists/whatever you want in addition to the int.
weapon is the most important upgrade but also the most expensive one. Things which are must have and can be obtained for nice cost are 2 rings, amulet and gloves with 15% attack speed on them. 15% attack speed gives you damage like 200 int, so take those rings with 70int 15att speed and amulet with 90 int and 15% att speed. (don't look at that bonus attack speed on weapons, it's already calculated in weapons damage)
Then just save some money and grab yourself some strong weapon.
have 1000dmg weapon, 60% attack speed on gear, sitting strong on 42k dps
@ iArkeus and Artaxares - what weapon are you using to get this high of base dps on it? I'm assuming its a 2-hander - haven't seen one handers with that high of dps unless they are really, really slow.
ITT: a bunch of people ignoring the class of the original post
And for those wizards, IAS is not a prize stat since it just eats your AP faster, it would be better to get crit. Sure IAS will still make that damage number on your stat page go up, but that doesn't mean it's better than having more int or crit etc.

I bought a 1219 DPS 2 hander for 1.2 million this morning. Before that I was using a 946 DPS weapon. I did find a 808 1h monk weapon last night, and there are 1 handers over 1000 dps, so I'm assuming you can get very higher with a 1h+oh also (and you'll have much faster attack speed, useful if you are abusing crit builds).
@Hoolydruid
Do you use 1H or 2H weapon? I currently have a 1H with approx 800 dps and a 2H with 1200 dps. I use the 1H because of the stats, even tho my dps is not as good.
Currently I get about 35k dps (buffed) and I am at Balial in Inferno. It feels solid, but I can't get Balial to Phase 3 without spawning adds. Which makes the 2nd phase difficult.

Why strength over Int? Strength is going to boost my armor not my dps, correct?
I also have about 25% IAS on my two rings that does help.

Sorry, meant int (or whatever your particular dmg stat is).
But yeah, IAS goes a long way.
