Im bidding on a 1k dps axe with slot and 100 dex, Im not sure how I can survive with out LoH or Lifeleech but its gonna be one expensive mispurchase if I end up having a harder time..
Hard to tell how to upgrade your weapons. Things like playstyle, personal preferences and what kind of current gearset/stats/build u r running making a huge difference.
Here is my approch for upgrading weapons:
- LoH is overrated and overprized! I dont bother with LoH at all.
- Never buy a weapon cuz there is vit on it. Get the amount of vit from the rest of your gear. Makes it way easier to replace the weapon later on.
- Think twice what u want and compare items with a dps calculator
- If your crit chance isnt that high dont bother buying a weapopn with crit dmg and open soket. The dps gain isnt that high in the end and wont be worth the crazy amount of gold.
- If u dont pay attention to the current active weapon and running a sw/cyclone build dont use a low dps statholder weapon as your offhand. In the end u will loose dmg.
Im always aiming for weapons with:
- At least 100 dex on em - I prefer +175 dex. Depending on your dex on gear those is worth up to 100 weapon dps. In my case its worth like 70 weapon dps.
- I want either +90 crit dmg or open socket on my weapons. I cant afford a weapon with crit dmg and open socket at the moment. At least one with decent dps.
- LL is nice to have but not a must have. For me its easier to deal with reflect/electrified affix combos. And its way cheaper then loh.
I have my weapons posted a page back or so, I still cannot let go of the LoH on my weapon.. cant imagine how I can survive
Till now I havent upgraded my weapons and I have something like 45m to spend on a new one, I cant really tell if the weapon price is decent or Im over paying. Can anyone help ?
Im looking at replacing my armor but Im not sure if it worth it, what I have is
538 armor
66 Dex
200 Vit
3 slots
Someone is selling this armor for 15M
80Dex
125Vit
35Cold Resist
30All Resist
8% Life
3 Slots
Including 3pcs of +50Dex Emeralds
Worth the upgrade?
Well, the Gems are worth roughly 6-7m. I don't think I would pay 8m for the armor without gems... resists are rather low, dex also.
Just as a comparison, I payed 500k for the following chest armor:
109 dex
147 vit
40 lightning res
38 all res
3 sockets
Now, I roughly value the 8% Life as 80 vit, so stat wise the 15M chest is a bit higher, but then the resis are lower, and overall more dex is better in my opinion. Bottom line is that I wouldn't pay so much for this chest. If you really have resist problems then you should look for something that gives you 100+ resistance...
Your chest is a lucky purchase, you cant find a similar one at any given time for 500k, I've searching for hours / day at the AH for 2 week and I still havent found a bang for the buck chest. Usually for the cold resist these kind of low stats are already very expensive. I currently have like 750 resist and I would like to bump it up some more, also my helm has no resist.
I know it's not relevant now but did anyone pick out the fact you were using an offhand that was almost 120dps lower then the mainhand? I'm fairly sure that drops your damage significantly to using an offhand with the same damage as the mainhand. Obviously if the stats are good on the offhand then it doesn't matter but just thought I'd point it out. It's mainly because of this I think shields are better as you can get a cheap one with good stats rather than having to buy two high matching damage weapons, especially for progressing players.
Is that for me ? I just looted these weapons and I use the lower DPS one for those mobs I cannot face tank. I would prefer to use DW.
@EarlZO88: Without knowing your gearsets its kinda hard to give u an answer.
Helm,Chest,Rings,Amulet,Weapons are looted stuff
For the weapons, I alternate between both fists depending if I can face tank the elite or not.
700 Resist
23.50% Critical Chance
138% Hit Damage
5.6K armor
24.3k dps with the life leeching fist
30.4k dps with the other fist
I tried using a shield today since I looted a sacred shield with 13% blockrate, 144Vit, some str and int with 8%crit.. there was like a 4086dps drop on the stat sheet but I barely felt the dps loss, the durability of my character increased like 3 folds! Didnt expect shields could do such wonders!
Im in a dilemma between the enchantress or scoundrel.. I have 23% crit rate with the scoundrel but a slightly more atkspeed and armor with the enchant..

Im pretty bad at judging what is a good weapon for the price this is probably why I stuck with these weapons since I just got them off from mobs.
If you could PM me some example weapons from AH that would be great!
