I'm using a cooldown fire build that emphasizes the following affixes:
strength cc cd cool down reduction specifix skill damage
I'm thinking about replacing + bash damage on my belt and pants with vit/all res/armor unless I'd be better off replacing another affix. Which of those three defensive stats should I use?
I'm a bit baffled by what you mean by "inferno", assuming that you're not referring to the old Inferno system in vanilla D3. Some advice on helping you survive in general would be to utilize all three of the Vitality, All Resistance, and Armor stats. Ideally you want a good balance of all three without stacking too highly in one while neglecting the others. There is a sleuth of information out there on how to determine which ones you need more at any given point of your gear snapshot.
Aside from the fact that you could use a myriad of upgrades seeing that you have zero legendaries equipped of any kind, there are still some things that you can improve through rolls from what you're currently wearing. Your amulet can easily be replaced by another yellow with real stats (STR, Vit) rather than non-stat damage attributes. Bash on your pants can be rolled to Vitality. CDR rolls can be switched to Vitality too, for example, which leads me to wonder this next question:
Why are you consciously stacking CDR so hard? Your build has two skills that really benefit much from CDR, being Earthquake and Ground Stomp. If lower Earthquake cooldown was that important, you would have also already picked up the Boon of Bul'Kathos passive. Ground Stomp on a shorter cooldown doesn't seem like it has any synergistic benefits from having a lower cooldown. The rest of your skills such as Overpower and Avalanche already all have cooldown-lowering functions built into skills without CDR. All of these skills, save maybe Ground Stomp, don't help your survivability much at all, seeing that you need advice on survival. I believe that if you spend some time to re-think your build approach for a more defensive and synergistic build will do you more in the long run, especially when you're looking for help in "surviving the inferno"
Please help me survive inferno.
