I got a Light Of Grace and am having a lot of fun playing a Black Ice build. With RNG being how it is and with recent news about mystic re-rolls happening at character level rather than item level, I started to think what I would re-roll at 70 if I didn't get a newer version. Now nothing rolled particularly high but the orange text is one of the "build changing" affixes that we heard so much about previously (at least in my opinion this qualifies), so i'd definitely like to use it at 70.
Hopefully the link shows up, first time posting on this forum. In case it doesn't i'll post the stats.
Primary
104-113 Damage
464 Intelligence
Critical Hit Chance Increased by 7.0%
Critical Hits grant 4 Arcane Power
Increases Arcane Torrent Damage by 14% (Really wished this rolled +Ray of Frost instead)
Secondary
+13 Maximum Arcane Power
Ray of Frost now pierces.
I didn't have beta access so i'm not sure what the new max values are for level 70 so i'm trying to figure out which re-roll will give me the most bang for my buck. My initial thought would be to re-roll the Arcane Torrent Damage since it's essentially a wasted affix for a Black Ice build, but maybe a much increased damage roll or even int would provide a bigger boost.
Well, damage couldn't be re-rolled in beta... but so couldn't +skill damage.
Here's a screenshot from re-rolling a primary stat on a source (note that this was very early in the beta and things might have been very buggy back then, a lot has changed after that):http://i.imgur.com/Misw4uL.jpg
As you can see you weren't able to select damage, but it's kinda strange that you can't re-roll damage on sources when you can re-roll damage on weapons. Also, as you can see, no skill bonuses show up in the potential re-roll choices (neither for primary nor secondary stats). So... my re-roll priority for this item would be as follows: 1) damage (if possible), 2) skills (if possible, and if Ray of Frost is an available re-roll), 3) int (200 int should trump 3% CC every day). But honestly, if you can't re-roll damage, I doubt you would really use that item other than for testing a build... its damage is just way too low compared to level 70 sources. I've got a Light of Grace with even worse stats, btw

Thanks for the info everyone, appreciate it.
Yea these were some of the questions I had regarding what could and couldn't be re-rolled and what the new level 70 stat ranges were. My first thought was definitely to re-roll damage range, but I wondered what the new max values were for +skill damage (max is 15% on this source). I was curious if theoretically +Ray of Frost damage could have rolled as high as 20-30% whether that would have pulled it ahead of a higher damage range. But that goes out the window if neither could be re-rolled. Oh well I guess i'll have to wait and see when I finally get access to the mystic.
Bagstone, I've had a mixed bag of rng since the patch came out. While i've gotten really lucky with 2 decently rolled Tals pieces (neck and chest), Light Of Grace was probably my best find after that. I get mostly weapons without sockets.-_-
@lurker124 Yea, ideally I would have a level 70 version drop for me, this was more of a backup plan.
Didn't Witch Doctors have a similar situation where they used a lower level mojo to play 0 dogs build? I'm not positive about that, I just thought this might be a similar situation, take a little dps hit that allowed me to play a different build.
