I'm a Leap/EQ barb - almost exclusively solo except some split bounties. I finally got my first Ancient Blade of the Tribes so I need to reroll.

+1783-2163 Arcane

+1381 Str

+1275 Vit

CDR 8%

+176% EQ

I have a consumable to socket the wep so I don't need to reroll for that.

I imagine of the stats on the weapon, I'd probably drop Vit but should I aim for Dmg% or LPS?

My present max GR is 67, so I imagine with this wep and some augments I've done, I *might* be able to clear 70 now. I've had really bad luck on the ancient drops this season.

The biggest problem I've found in public games is nobody wants to open the rift. Usually takes joining 4-5 games before I get one where someone actually opens the thing.

Aside from that, public is overall pretty terrible still. Many players simply don't understand certain specs and just kick players, including some very good players that can already solo the 4man T6. it's so sad that it's actually funny sometimes.

So why don't you open the rift? That's another thing I'm looking forward to with this patch - If you want to run a rift, you'll have to pony up a stone. No more of this hopping from game to game until someone opens a rift because you refuse to spend your stones. I'll take a T6 leech any day of the week over someone rift leeching.

Thanks Penguin062 - some of the items I'm working on rolling are insanely high priced now and I've been getting poor rolls, so I'm still working on that.

I'll look to some of the other enchants as well. As well as acquiring a better off-hand and just better gear in general obviously.



Right now, self-buffed, I'm at just over 1.2m dps though my toughness rating is at 4.6m. I realize wizard isn't generally a tanking class but I feel like it's a stat I need to bump up considerably with better gear. Right?

I've been following the Frozen Orb guide on this thread with some ease. Self buffed I'm at almost 800k dps, 4.6m toughness, etc.

The real problem is that I don't know what to do with gear, really. I reroll for +Cold and get rid of some stats but it's largely a guessing game for me. I mained Monk for months, quit and only recently came back for RoS and to give wizard a shot - I've been playing the toon for approx. 2 weeks now.

While I like using Cold b/c it gives me some control to escape should things get bad, I'm not sold on it. I haven't tried fire, a real archon build, etc so I'm open for suggestions there.

Really, I'm looking for suggestions for my toon itself but also just wizard resources in general so I may learn.

Good luck everyone.

How did you reach these numbers?

From how the Enchantress spawned in like that, I imagine he's using a Sandbox (or private emulator, in other words) to show what 5.0 AS looks like.

Thanks you two --- using the above stats, shot through a2 and died a total of 4 times, skipping no champ packs and one-shotting ZK and Belial (I'd heard some rumors that he's one of the harder inferno bosses - he didn't drop me below 80% hp the whole fight, probably been nerfed since launch though).

I've brought the LoH up to about 600 as of right now and while it lets me tank a little longer, I'm still not convinced that it's mandatory. I will conceit though that I am only in a2 and I know the learning curve is harder is even steeper in a3 and 4, so I agree that it'll become even more mandatory then.

The only thing helping me, I think, is that I'm use to playing as a DH and kiting. I face tank when and where I can, I only kite back to areas from where I came, I blind and make myself invulnerable, I think, with (near) perfect timing, and I just generally keep on the move -- I run circles around the mobs, making sure I don't let myself get boxed in, good use of floor space by stacking area affects as much as possible, etc.

But anyway - thanks for the suggestions and as I said, I have upped my LoH a bit and my resist (I'm sticking with fire, so far I've found it more readily on the AH than other resists)

Current Stats:

1.9 AS
601 LoH
16% Crit Hit
50% Crit Dmg
494 Res
23.5k dps
7504 armor
37.7k life (a lot of it from my 38% to Life Bonus)

EDIT:

Picked up better shoulders (but far from perfect):

Increased my Dex by about 60 and brings me up to 540 Res.

Right now I'm working through a2 and it's going fairly well --- not as easy as a1 but things are dying, though I wouldn't say I have it on farm status yet.

Here's some SS of my stats and gear.

Stats: http://i.imgur.com/IQq4J.jpg

Simple breakdown of stats if you don't/can't view the SS:

1.8 AS
0 LoH
16% Crit Hit
50% Crit Dmg
367 Res
25.3k dps
7977 armor
38k life (a lot of it from my 38% to Life Bonus)

Gear: http://imgur.com/a/bpt3U#0

As I said, I have about 15m to spend.

I know my rings need upgrading but the ones I've found on the AH are, imo, severely overpriced for the stats they offer and I haven't found a suitable offer yet from trade.

With my life and armor, I have a lot of breathing room to face tank for a couple of seconds but my res and LoH don't allow me to stand in the heavy of it like my barb does.

I'm coming over to monk from playing Barb and DH so I'm still trying to piece together the ideal stat mix for gear and the right balance between having high dps and being able to take the hits.

I'd appreciate all comments and questions.

Looking to unload the weapon I've described in the title.

I'm open to offers.

Guessing by the lack of replies, not worth much?

Still looking to get an idea on if this wep is worth anything decent.

This is the first Inferno drop I've had that I think might be worth something - in fact, it's my first iLvl 63.

I'm aware that for higher end weps the LoH is a little low and it lacks a socket, so that will hurt some.

For me this wep would add a little over 3.3k dps (unbuffed) which would of course be nice but I'm progressing through A1 with no difficulties with my 13k buffed - LoH and resist is what's holding me back in a2 so if this sells well, maybe I could get better gear (still using some lvl 40'ish gear).

Inc noob ?:

Given 'One With Everything' - should we just stack one particular resist (assuming we find the right gear, naturally) or stick to +All Resists?

Oh and Bashiok should get fired.

Why? If he's not having some fun and can be taken seriously, he's saying that No Life is NOT the World First. Which is a valid point.
