How does it work with the Madstone? Is the Explosion directly triggered or will it be applied first and triggered with the second hit?
Its applied first hit, triggered second. However, if you just attack the mobs 3 times, your 2pc will apply exploding palm and then you hit seven sided strike and you don't have to worry about missing the first hit.
Element Damage affix on weapon has no bearing on your skills damage.
The only situation where the weapon damage affix matters is with legacy items such as the old Triumvirate or Zunimassa's boots where it says specifically "Adds +x% to elemental damage" where if you had a black damage weapon (one that just has a +damage affix with no element), it directly increases your weapon's damage to include those elements (which, since your weapon damage is increased, your skill damage is increased as well.)
I want to say 48 using 6ww/4ik and coe and rorg as rings. I definitely run into problems. I can clear to rift guardian with plenty of time, but if I get ghom or someone else that doesn't allow me to have 100% uptime, I will more than likely fail the rift at that point. It is still hit or miss without unity.
Yes, this is the case, see post #5 in this thread.
Well, it's in the description of the passive Elemental Exposure. When you select the passive, and read the text, it should be crystal clear. The front page is for news, and this is not something new. It's okay if people selected Elemental Exposure without reading the passive's description, but it's not really news-worthy ;-)
Why do you think it's unclear for most wizards?
I always believed that Your auto attack/attack when you are out of arcane power is what applies the second stack of elemental exposure based on your weapon damage type. This same effect also procs meteors of the same type for tal rasha's 4 pc.
So if I have a weapon that deals lightning damage but all my abilities are arcane/frost/fire (ie not lightning) if I swing my weapon for an attack that does not use a skill (you can try by removing an ability in your right click slot), that attack will cause lightning damage.
But sets do exist. I'm probably on the luckier end of the scale but out of maybe <50 legendaries, I've gotten 3 vyr's pieces (1 dup), 4pc tal rashas (over the span of <10 legendaries), and some dh hunter set gloves all on my wizard. I've seen blackthornes much less than the people I play with who seem to get it all the time. Maybe 1 or 2 blackthornes pieces and 1 travelers pledge.
This is mostly on T1-3. Many of the set items have actually been from chests. And I never really did the T6 chest farm runs (I did maybe a dozen which actually yielded two of my set pieces)
So extreme luck helped me but I'm sure there is some middle ground between us where people get set items fairly often enough.
This may be a stupid question but, I have a weapon with 1364-1653 lightning damage on it. I am stacking +% lightning skill damage (currently +45%). Now the question is does that +45% affect the weapon in anyway or just the skills that use lightning damage? Someone told me a I would hit harder with a weapon with lightning damage because of my +45%.
Thanks!
I believe weapon elemental type will turn any skill that deals physical damage into that elemental type. Your +45% lightning damage will then affect that "physical" skill.
The extra ability from the shard of hate, if the proc rate is anything other than complete crap, will do more damage than 19% cold damage.
Math would be if all your frozen spells (frozen orb) do 19% more damage, how many spells would you have to cast to do more than 1 proc (which would be 212%+Cold damage percent.) Using 212%, the proc would have to be greater than about 10% (not taking into account crit or anything because I don't feel like doing complicated math.) If it is 100% as mentioned, it is absolutely better (obviously roll a socket instead of life on hit.)
Unless everyone is finding 5 Andy Visage's in a row it IS RNG. See Bagstone's dice example.
Statistically there is someone somewhere (assuming an infinite number of people playing D3) that is finding nothing but Andy's Visages'
May the Developers have mercy on his soul...
But I've found 2 Wildwood's (always Poison 1h sword and always +experience) off of only two skeleton kings. (second was 1250 dps with 400 int and 30% chance of 315% bleed.)
I wonder if he realizes that with an authenticator, he could leave his password as "password" and have more security than he does now on top of putting in far less work.
You got banned because you violated about 50 Terms of Use codes in your posts. Spamming, Discussing Moderation, Naming and Shaming (Not 1, but multiple people, multiple times,) Posting unconstructive threads, attention seeking titles, circumventing bans using another account, and I'm sure I've missed a few.
Blizzard knows there is a problem.
What would you like them to do about it? Remove rollbacks entirely? Adapt a 100% hands-off policy on Diablo 3 and say, "Anything that happens to your account, including compromises, is your fault and thus you have to deal with it."
Did you ever think that there isn't enough evidence to ban those who are duping? If there is proof that an account was compromised and they do a rollback and an item gets duped, is it illegal? Only if that system is exploited. But what defines exploitation? Using it once? If it does not happen on the same account over and over again, nothing can be done. If they keep using dummy accounts to dupe items, nothing can be done.
Get over yourself and think.

Skills are calculated weapon damage first -> skill modifier -> additional modifier (elite damage or elemental damage)
The +damage affix only affects the weapon damage calculation (or weapon dps.) After that, it is irrelevant.
In short: No, it doesn't affect locust swarm.

By that I mean, after maintenence
