So CM has been a blast but my fingers can't take any more smashing my 1-2-3 keys anymore. With all the love 1.0.8 archon got I've messed with it and even in my scrubs gear MP5 clears are smooth... but I have roughly 50m from my CM set and need help with some upgrades!!!
My ideas (which seem the best?)
Obviously weps (black of course w/ LS seeing i likely wont have the ehp or dps to rely soley on BMrune) I DO have a 100crit gem at my disposal
~1050 int/LS/socket
~1250 int/LS
- a higher avg dmg/int Trimuv is a gimmie and cheap
Pants
- Innas (massive EHP loss)
- int/vit/allres/2sock rares as much INT as possible
Chest
- i have a decent tals chest 9ias with 190int but no allres at my disposal but EHP loss
Ring
-Zuni Pox w/ crit(expensive)
-Int/crit/CHD over my crit/ias other ring?
Not really worried about glove/shoulder/ammy atm, im keeping up with my crafting so thats just a matter of time there. All advice appreciated! Thanks homies
Definitely weapon (go for one with socket) and pants. You can get lots of the EHP back on your bracers (could even craft int bracers), so this is another slot I'd definitely upgrade. Regarding Zuni Pox/chest: if you gain more DPS by a rare ring than a Zuni Pox don't blow your money on an overpriced item and just go for the rare ring, keeping the chest for now as set bonus. Afaik (haven't checked recently) allres Tal's chest and crit Zuni Pox are about the same in terms of budget, aren't they? So you can postpone this upgrade for now. Oh, and I think a crit Mempo or Andariel's with < 10% fire damage might give you more DPS than the Tal's helm - just check.
So... 1) weapon 2) pants 3) bracers 4) ring or chest should be "major" upgrades. For the other slots I think it's just about if you can get a good deal, I think I'd put most of your budget into the weapon.
Don't have time to look over your specifics, but for my archon, the only thing I care about is DPS. I play on the MP where I can fry everything and have just enough ehp to take a hit or two from an elite. Getting into Inna's pants isn't as difficult to take the ehp loss as you would think as long as you aren't playing on a higher mp than you should be.
For weapon I'd look at OS+LS+CD instead of OS+LS+int. CD should give you a lot of dps when you have decent crit and it tends to give more dps for your money than something with Int. Looking at int pieces is fine but in the end get whatever gives you the most char sheet dps.
For Chest, if you want more dps go with tal. For EHP keep zuni. If you keep zuni I'd upgrade it to 250+vit, which shouldn't cost more than a couple mil tops. I prefer using zuni for high EHP until you can make up the EHP loss on other pieces before making the jump to Tal. That gives you some extra options for adding dps on other pieces while keeping the high vit and high resist of the zuni chest.
I'd look into a crit pox. It'll cost a little bit but the more crit you have the better your CD is, and the better all your other stats become.
Out of all those, I'd start with the weapon and not worry so much about the others, just keeping them in mind for future upgrades (or maybe spending 1-2 mil on a high vit zuni chest if you can find one).
