Right now I am farming act 3 slowly. But I've been making a ton more money than I was with my 300MF/GF gear farming act 1. Plus it's a lot harder and it doesn't get boring. I do use SS because I don't think I have enough DPS without it to kill elites.
Question is, do I save up for Nat's mark or get other gear to give me more dps so I can farm act 3 faster? Right now, I'm a little short to buy a ring, but I could up my dps a lot if I use it for other gear. What do you guys think is better?
Highly unlikely with the love legendaries get in 1.04. Near perfectly rolled Natalya's will never make it's worth imo. Too much sacrifice in damage in every way. Badly rolled Natalya's will still cost you 30-40 million with ring. Getting the 4p bonus with the 1h xbow is a joke and not viable at all.
So, my recommendation: if you have the money/gold and like to experiment, or just want have some fun, get it. In any other case: DON'T.
IAS is very nice to have, AFTER you have socket, chd, dex on your weapon. It just inflates the weapons dps beyond it's real worth. Cheaper to get IAS on other slots imo.
IAS is calculated into the "WEAPON DPS" sheet. Which means, a 1200 DPS (with say 9% IAS) does less raw damage per hit than a 1150 DPS (with no IAS). Look at the weapon damage range (min-max). Yes, you can gain 9% more IAS meaning you can shoot more. But get IAS on other gear and not on weapon. IAS is still nice, and you probably do not want it on your weapon unless its 1350-1500 dps range because thats how they get you in those ranges. This is more so for 2h xbow. For bows, the damage range is wicked huge (very low min, and can get to reasonably high max) so it may not matter.

You don't know that yet. Official communication didn't rule out anything.

Avoid IAS? Explain.
