Strange, from what i can tell, its score is only 697 !
The one on my Barb is rated 818 (with the 190% CD), not Wiz. A few weeks ago that same hammer was rated 1313 on Diabro, so clearly one of the updates has retooled things a bit.
I have a life steal Schaefer's Hammer (no crit damage) that has 930 DPS and Diabro rates it over 1000; that's pretty much the only reason I thought something might be off with the rating on my Maximus.
Eh, or rather, it used to be (hadn't checked the site in a couple of weeks. I see now that even my 190 CD Schaefer's (on my Barb) has been downgraded to 818. Carry on!
Just wanted to add that the system might not be recognizing the Maximus legendary properly. I have one on my Wiz that is 1250 DPS, 25% fire skills, 5% life steal, +290 INT, etc., and Diabro scores it....267.
It's a nice idea, but the 25% fire damage don't compensate the missing (up to) 300% crit hit damage (200 on 2H + socket). I guess you're playing HC self-found, but looking at your skills I think going 1H+shield (because of HC) or 1H+OH (for lots of DPS) might be better; 2h weapons always slow everything down, and with a 1H weapon with similar DPS you can trigger Arcane Dynamo much faster.
Maybe the website could detect that you're using fire skills and rate it a bit higher, but it definitely shouldn't be more than ~400 or so.

But yeah, I play HC only, but I also play to have fun and mess around with builds and whatnot which is why I'm using the Maximus. The 25% is a significant boost to fire skills, few that there are (800K-1M meteor crits are nice).
I've yet to see any INT+lifesteal+crit/socket Maximus' on US HC (seems they're rare at the moment), but I'll definitely be looking!

with pain in the heart I agree. At this point crafting rare doom armor costs 50 000g + all materials. If you've been patient enough to gather all the blues/rares and books for this it costs you nothing (on the other hand if you disected those items it means you haven't sold them so basically you've lost another 10 - 20kg) so sumarizing crafting 1 pice of armor costs you about 60 - 70k gold and frankly a chance that it will EVER pay off is close to zero. Simply because chance that it has stats that are useful to you ... are extremaly low, and chances that the item will even be sellable on AH for more than it's creation cost are... well ... you know.
Gambling in D2 was great because it gave you the opportunity to get great rare mod combos like integer DR + all res, etc. It was expensive as hell, but you could get 30,000 gold by selling a scrap armor so it wasn't the end of the world. It was particularly great for rings/ammys/boots/helms.
Now it's mats + significant amount of gold + the amount of gold you didn't get because you disenchanted the items for mats...that's rough, especially considering how the items mods are in D3 (STR+DEX+bleeds on hit+health globes!? ALL RIGHT!).
My Blacksmith is only lvl 8 right now though, since I'm only just getting into Inferno (been playing other characters and I figure why not wait for the 1.0.3 patch, depending on how long they take).
It's actually a nice little area because there are two caves that offer this same opportunity - "Warrior's Rest" and "Crypt of the Ancients" - as well as the "Last Stand of the Ancients" event that also spawns an Elite monster. The best part is that none of these spots really require you to run far, so you can make it a 3-part trip if you want.

April 12th they sent out 275,000 beta invitations in addition to everything they'd sent prior, so you're clearly wrong.
