Area damage works with Archon, but in the end you want to play the Manald Heal build and Manald Heal does not work area damage (MH and AD are both procs and procs can't proc procs ;-)). So basically area damage is a wasted stat for now on a wand.

Bagstone posted a message on The RNG Thread!Okay, this is going to be a multi-purpose thread to reduce clutter on the forums. Here you can do the following:Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
- Complain about the game not dropping item X
- Insane luck because you got 3 Shard of Hates in a row
- Ask if Kadala drops item Y
- Show off your insanely well rolled Thunderfury
- Discuss whether or not the drop rate was stealth nerfed
- Point out that the Mystic refuses to give you a socket on your weapon despite you asking her politely
- State the obvious fact that Onyxia Deep Breaths more often since last patch
I was going to add this to the FAQ, but since those threads pop up daily, it deserves its own thread. Here's a breakdown of information about current drop rates:
- The drop rates have not been altered since the last patch 2.0.5.
- Kadala might give you everything except for Bottomless potions, follower items, and cache-only legendaries.
- Kadala might give you nothing ever.
- There's always someone who gets every desired enchant on the first roll; to even out for this, you are the victim who will not get the desired enchant even after 100 re-rolls.
- If you play for 500 hours and find 2000 legendaries, you will not get an average distribution of all the legendaries in the game; instead, you will see lucky streaks (for example, 3 Wand of Wohs in a row - feel free to post this here than so that I can hate you) or unlucky streaks (for example, never get a Wand of Woh - feel free to post this here so you can join my despair).
Important: If you see a thread that is an "RNG thread", post a link to THIS thread and leave. Do not engage in discussions. New threads that purely discuss RNG, even about a specific item or in a subforum (classes) will be locked. One thread is enough. Thanks. -

T0lbert posted a message on Perma akkhans!Posted in: Crusader: The Church of Zakarum
I am not sure I can follow you here. It is impossible to get 200% increased Fire damage or any other elemental damage. Let's say you are crusader and as you mentioned above you can get:Quote from AeneasBK
Okay, so Jimmy Crusader has Magefists, SoJ, Bracers, Axe of Sankis, Amulet and Andariels on, rocking a measly 100% Extra Fire Damage over these 6 items. He does 200% Fire damage (100% + 100% bonus elemental). I'm going to use 100% bonus as it makes the numbers easier. That could easily be up to 140% for a barbarian for exampleQuote from T0lbert
Elemental bonuses are additive so 20% Cindercoat is going to increase your fire damage output by 20%.
Equipping Cindercoat gives another 20%. So he goes from doing 200% Fire damage to 220% Fire damage. Do you see how that is an EFFECTIVE 10% DPS increase?
If my maths is wrong enlighten me I could be overlooking something glaring...
Gloves: 20
Chest: 20
Amulet: 20
Bracers: 20
Shield: 20
Weapon: 20
So let's assume that you are rocking with these stats maxed out but some random chest. This gives you 100% increased damage on your Fire skills. For the sake of the argument we can say that your FotH baseline hit will be 1000 damage. With the 100% Fire increase you will have FotH hitting for 2000. Should you incorporate a Cindercoat your Fire bonus jumps to 120% which will translate to 2200 damage from FotH. The increase is 20% no matter what.
Let me know if I am missing something here.
P.S. The elemental damage is well described by Bagstone's FAQ:

There are 12 blasts, but some of them overlap, so it looks like there are only 6 of them. Drop all your IAS and check again. -

Venaliter posted a message on Disintegrate Mid-Range Arcane Wizard Build (Video)Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
No. Disintegration Wave is not Disintegrate. I thought, before RoS launched, that Archon's attack was simply Disintegrate, but it is Disintegration Wave. It is the EXACT same spell, uses the same breakpoints, but intentionally does not benefit from +Disintegrate.Quote from Syldra
Maybe a dumb question, but seems I might find my answer here,
does Slorak's Madness scale with the disintegration wave from archon?

moses_2254 posted a message on [VID]Wand of Woh - My Complete EncyclopediaHi everyone,Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
Since I found the Wand of Woh,I went through different setups of gear and skills.
In the past 2-3 weeks since then,I have been working on optimizing through farming crafting gambeling and enchanting,as much as I can till I was able to run T5 and T6 with it.
Today I made this video in which I explain the basics of the build,and going into details discussing several gear veriations and setups,presenting all I have learned so far,to you.This is a long video,but I cover in details every aspect of the build and gear setup I have thought of.
I hope you enjoy,and good luck in your journey!

wizard again, it's the only class that I never get tired off. And this season they will actually be accepted more in groups... probably.
I posted in LFG in case you are in search of a levelup partner aswell

seasons, because I love progressing from level 1 to torment 6 and getting my name on the leaderboard for some time,
untill the hardcore players catch up with my casual gametime capability.
I really love the build diversity that goes with the progression from t1 to t6 for friends and myself,
when everything is kinda viable like diablo II was
