Is the Arcane Torrent damage per missile fired, or per second?
It's per weapon attack period, which is the same for all skills that are in this vein whether it be Tempest Rush, Whirlwind, Disintegrate, Rapid Fire, or what have you.
So, if you have a 2.0 attack speed, then your weapon attack period is 0.5 seconds, so you are doing X% weapon damage every 0.5 seconds.
This is analogous to a more standard attack such as Magic Missile or Bash, which also list their damages as per weapon attack period. It just tends to be more obvious that is what's happening in those cases because your character animates over the course of the attack period to provide clear delineation points.

Could you explain how it works specifically with Arcane Torrent and a 1.0 attack speed one?
Arcane Torrent baseline says it does 210% weapon damage. This means it does 210% weapon damage for every attack period of your weapon.
If your weapon has a 1.0 attack speed, then it means your weapon goes through one attack period every second. Therefore your attack period is 1.0 seconds, and you'll do 210% weapon damage every 1.0 seconds or 210% weapon damage per second.
If your weapon has a 1.4 attack speed, then it means your weapon goes through 1.4 attack periods every second. Therefore your attack period is 0.714 seconds, and you'll do 210% weapon damage every 0.714 seconds or 294% weapon damage per second. (Reddit)

There are quite a number of set pieces and Legendary armor items in Diablo III, over a hundred and fifty, in fact! Worn together, many of these sturdy pieces of armor can convey a wide variety of perks and set bonuses to a daring hero. But more importantly: many of them also make striking fashion statements.


If the relative strength of your armor was not a concern, and you could freely don your hero with whatever armor you wished for maximum visual satisfaction, we want to know: In terms of pure aesthetics, what is your favorite armor set in Diablo III?

When Does an Item Roll?
Items roll their stats the moment they are dropped, and identifying them has no effect on those stats. If you want to read a little more about items, here is a link to the Items and Equipment section of the game guide. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
