What do you look for in a weapon when you look in the auction house? Say a 1-hander or a 2-hander?
Let's say you found this in AH::
1-hander
Rare Sword
1000 DPS
600-1100 damage
1.30 attacks per second
+200-600 fire damage
+50% damage
+100 intelligence
+100 vitality
Increases attack speed by 25%
Critical Hit damage increases by 25%
3% of damage dealt is converted to life
Each hit adds +150 life
Socket: with a +14-28 damage gem
a) Which of the stats listed above are already included in factoring for the 1000 DPS of the sword? Is the fire damage/+50% damage/+100 intelligence/etc already factored in the dps? Thus we should just ignore them when comparing with other weapons and just look at which has a higher DPS?
b ) Should we look for a higher top damage if we are looking for a 1hander or 2hander? (the 600-1100 damage part)
c) Should we get a faster attack per second 1hander / 2hander or should we prefer a slower one? 1.00 attack per second(slower) vs 1.50 attack per second(faster)
d) In the "200-600 fire damage" stat, does it matter if its fire damage/lightninig/cold/poison/etc ? Which type of damage is best or should we go after? Please rank them.
e) If a 1000dps sword gets fitted a +14-28 damage socket, around how much will the dps increase?
f) Which is better? "3% of damage dealt is converted to life" or "Each hit adds +150 life"?
g) In "3% of damage dealt is converted to life", does this include the damage of your Hydra? your familiar? your follower?
h) In "Each hit adds +150 life", does this include all the enemies hit by the blizzard as multiple hits and they get hit again every x seconds they are under the blizzard? If an elite is standing in your venom (venom hydra), does he get 1 hit only until he goes out then goes back in your venom pool? Or does he get 1 hit every second he stands in the pool?
Sorry for the long post. If there is something else that I'm missing, please add them here.
on letter e) yeah im serious lol. sorry to be a noob.
An example: leys say that i find an axe with 1000dps with a socketed 14-28 damage gem selling in AH for say 1000g then theres a sword with a dps of 950but with a blank socket selling for 900g, I wouldn't know how to compare them. Would the 950dps go up to 1000dps if i socket the same gem?
Go with either Amethyst or Emerald in your weapon, it'll have a bigger damage increase.
Seems like Rubies are the twink gems.
14-28 damage increase is beyond AMAZING when the weapon has 20-50 damage.
16-32 damage increase...Not so much when it has 500-1000
Also, on helms, 21%+ Increased XP per kill, also great for low levels.
Emeralds actually scale with your damage, and just scale even higher if you have any crit items.
