Skills I guess is pretty standard? Been using Lashing Tail Kick instead of Pillar because of the weapon. I switch between Exploding Palm - Shocking Grasp & Impending Doom
Last night before I logged out I had a Torch drop, non Ancient, very similar to this one (Forgot to take a pic / equip it) Except it has area dmg that I need to roll to 10% dmg, but I have it as a socket atm as I need a new Gift. But it will end up like this dmg whise when I do.
(Ow and it has 50% cost reduction)
Obviously equiping it drops my sheet dmg by something like 150k+ or so? and weapon dmg itself is also quite a bit lower so Exploding Palm will explode or less and others will do less dmg.
On the upside I can now drop Lashing Tail Kick for Wave of Light and spam it more, so there is more dmg.
Regarding Inna's, as I drop the Weapon I now also need to drop String of Ears and replace it with Innas Belt from my stash to keep the set up and that comes with quite a bit of a Toughness drop, well because it is String of Ears.
Even with all the above said is it still best to go with the normal Torch till I some day get lucky with an Ancient one?
Looking at the rest of my things where can I improve by (A), just rerolling something or (B) hoping for some new drops.
Regarding drops I guess I need to hope for Sunwuko Amulet & Leoric's Crown and then just Ancient of everything
Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you.

How important is attack speed with LoH for a barb using frenzy atm?
IE:
1050 dps 1-hander, 1.2 AS, 800 Loh, Socket for more Loh
vs
900 dps 1-hander, 1.45 AS, 750 Loh
(Atm its for 1-hander + shield and transitioning into dual wield when I can)

52k HP
14k dmg
9481 Armor
1.1k Physical Resist
1k All Resists
31% Block (2800-3700)
76% dmg Reduction
So basically a bit less Armor, better other stats. Only things I don't have vs you are dmg reductions from Stormshield & String + Life on Hit (To damn expensive and been told many times its nice to have, but not needed)
- So basically it seems these are a must... what else?
9/10 Elite packs in Act3 I cant really do
Some normal mobs should also be avoided
Act3 can be done, but very very very slowly and allot of skipping. Can't be farmed and its definitely not fun to do.
(Its definitely not a skill related thing as I do know what I'm doing and come from a hardcore Wow background.)

I have quite a few builds that I want to try out when the game hits. This one I think is for a bit of "farming". The idea behind it is get somewhere quick, throw out damage and finish things off or get out of there.
Electrocute - A little bit of AOE dmg with the passive to stun, but mostly for when its time to get my Arcane power back and thus runed for that.
Arcane Orb - It looks like its doing some serious dmg to mobs in groups
Blizzard - Had fun with this in D2, hopefully its cool AOE dmg in D3 - Runed to freeze
Teleport - Runed to get around quicky
Ice Armor - Runed for a storm and dmg around me
Archon - Just to add to the "Get in there, do allot of dmg idea"
Passive Skills just obviously adds to this build.
Its all just speculation at this point and we'd obviously have to wait for the game, but it would be great to at least get a feel for the game with the Beta.
GL and HF everyone

I was also older when I played D1 and all this waiting has made me very annoyed. I reached my top point of excitement just before the release date was pushed back end of last year and I have to say the time spend on anything D3 related has gotten less and less each week.
I have not had a chance to try the Beta but I spoke to a friend who have and he told me there is nothing to worry about, it will be a great ga,e. Only thing is I'm an oldschool fan and I'm not sure how much I can trust someone elses words.
So I've decided to stop worrying or bitching about it and just wait. Not like we can do anything about it.
For the time I'll just enjoy the other good games I am playing atm, which is Kingdoms of Amalur & Dota 2.

I've always been a Wizzard as I love the whole magic thing, but I must say that the Monk looks really cool and fun also, so I kind of sit with a problem. I'll have to try them both out for a decent amount of time before I decide which one gets my full attention.
Guess I'll have to wait and see

@Zealot, thanks for that comment! Makes me feel better, BUT
I'm probly one of the older guys on here and one of my best memories regarding games is from Diablo 1. I spend so many hours playing it.
I'm from South Africa and back in the days of Diablo 1 there was no ADSL here, just normal dailup modem that you had to pay per minute costs. It was crazy expensive and I spend many many hours playing with the international clan I joined.
Same went for D2
I have already pre-ordered the CE (this is so obviously my fav game) but I still wonder what I'm actually going to think & feel about the game as I'm an old school fan. I seriously hope to be able to try the game out before release.
I'm so used to downloading and playing demo's before buying, like I recently did with Kingdoms of Amalur. Awesome game btw for those who want something to play till Diablo 3.

Just saw this response from an official supplier here:
Was in a meeting with Activision/Blizzard Europe today and they have confirmed: End March 2012 as the release date. And said that there will be no more delays. They are fixing the issues from the BETA.
I will put it live on site for pre-order when I have a more concrete release date. I dont want to disappoint any of you.
Wonder if its also actually just a guess...
