The screen isn't full front and the image is kinda blurry, could be a 3 or an 8. You are right. Still the best one of those I have seen so far. Most of them videos (even at 1080p) are impossible to read, as they were screencaptured.

Crit specific gear will need serious bonuses from talents and other sources to match pure damage bonuses.
It's really confusing if you ask me. High end items gives only +90 Precision (usually) wich is only +5% critical rate, fairly weak compered to +90% damage from +90 Attack or +90% Class Damage. The whole point of stats (Attack, Precision, Vitality, Defence) is that one point in any of those should have the same "power level". So, if you find a +20 attack ring it should give the same damage bonus as a +20 precision ring (and both items would have the same level requeriment).

I wish people would stop equating 1 Attack to +1% total damage output.
Let's say you start with 600 Attack. Your 100 base damage spell will deal 700 damage. Now you gain 1 Attack. Your spell deals 701 damage. 1/700 = +0.14% damage increase, not 1%.
Precision still increases total damage less than Attack does, but it is not by a ridiculously large ("15:1") margin.
Wizard.
They like on the whole. Academic Skills hve been renamed Signature skills. They get cheaper as you level up. They like that. Tweaking numbers on skills that cost Arcane Power or not, to make sure the balance is good.
The biggest change is that their skills have changed to % weapon damage. They wanted to make casters value their weapons more. So does this mean a Wizard should use a big 2h weapon? Not so much, since weapon speed ties into casting speed. Makes daggers and waads more powerful.
Additionally there is usually +Wiz Damage% on wands. So 2 reasons not to pick a huge two-hander over a wand.

So, I've been playing the beta for 4 hours straight now.
I got my hand on +9 XP bonus items, so I could test some stuffs.
If you kill a Risen with Level 9 you get 4 base exp. Which is a 90% penalty for a 8 level difference. At level 1 they give 40 exp. Anyway the +XP items are not effected by this penaltly. Hence, after equipping I got 13 exp a kill. There formula is therefore...
xp = (baseexp * penalty) + itembonusxp
I wonder where the bossmod comes in. I'll be testing some more.

mlvl = monster level
clvl = character level
xp from items is added to the modified (by clvl-mlvl) base monster exp for clvl-mlvl<6. Otherwise it is not counted.
It has also come to my attention that a lower level hero grouping up with higher level heroes will get have severely reduced xp gain. The specifics as of now are unknown.

Anybody knows if some of the formulas in this thread (especially armor and resistance formula) are still valid for the latest beta patches (and therefore maybe retail)?
Would be nice to know and if not if there is another thread or site having up to date info.
Assuming their armor formulas are accurate, then(before any class abilities) you can reach roughly ~4130 armor. A little more, I'm just being realistic. With this, you could reach roughly 97% damage reduction. That would make the dreaded 170,000 damage hit everyone fears, hit for 5100. Just some food for thought.

Still, Precison seens completly UP. The amount of critical damage you need in order for 1 Precision match 1 Attack is 1500! Prove:
1 Attack = +1 %Damage
1 Precision = +0.0666...% critical rate at lvl 60
1 Precision = (+0.0666...*CritDmg) %Damage at lvl 60
For 1 Precision = 1 Attack
0.0666...*CritDmg = 1
CritDmg = 1/0.0666...
CritDmg = 15

I think this is it. (Not 100% confirmed, but pretty sure.)
