I've managed to make it to the end of Act II, but I'm having some troubles with Belial's minions. My damage is pretty low, and is preventing me from killing them off quick enough. I was hoping you could lend me some guidance in regards to selecting a new weapon. My current weapon / damage stats are as follows:
Last Slayer (609.0 dps)
+ 154-359 Lightning Damage
+122 Strength
+146 Intellect
+147 Vitality
+ 696 Life on Hit
Damage: 8890.46
I planned on shooting for a weapon in the 800-900 dps range. My question is this: should I pick up a weapon that has that dps range as well as similar strength and vitality (with no life on hit)? Or should I go for a weapon that has life on hit, but less strenght and vitality? The +696 is the only LoH that I currently have.
In case knowing my overall stats would help, here's what I have thus far: 1292 Str, 1208 Vit, 9705 armor, 850-950 resist all, and 32% block. The armor and resist stats are buffed with Warcry.
I've cleared Act 1 a few times now, and thought I'd give Act II a shot. Yet, like so many others, I basically get eaten alive by the elite's that I come across.So, I thought I'd sign up on the forums here, and hope that someone can offer me some guidance with gear selection / upgrades so that I can begin to progress into Act II.
The first issue that comes to mind is that I need to upgrade my shield. I was going to search for a shield with All Resist, Vit, and Str on it. However, I know that % chance to block and block amount are important when selecting a shield. What is the absolute minimum % chance to block / block amount that I should look for in my investment?
My next question deals with overall gear selection. When it comes to armor, I've been prioritizing All Resist, Vitality, and Strength. Should I be picking up pieces that have all 3 stats, or are pieces with All Resist and either Vitality or Strength ok?
I'm also in need of a new weapon. My sword currently is marked at 771.5 dps with +108 Str and +137 Vit. Should I be going for something with a higher dps even if it means sacrificing some base stats like strength and vitality?
Thanks in advance to all that respond with their advice!
