Its hard to tell most of the time you have to test it. Losing 30% dps is probably too much however. Personally i found bracers with 20% cold and since they still had high dex and crit only lost about 1.8% total dps because it didnt roll the perfect 6% crit like my rare had. Wearing them made my actual damage skyrocket while using only cold runes, totally an upgrade.
I tried to search for the answer on google to no luck. I know it allows to change the look of 1 hander that share the same animations, like fist is its own thing etc. But what about 2 handed bow and xbow? I really hope that you can change between both, personally i prefer bows look, but prefer slower weapons in the hatered system. Stronger hits per hatered.
Its the cap, Paragon movement speed is capped at 25% too. Its there to make it so you can cap move speed and mystic away the move speed for a more useful stat.
Yeah that would be pretty nice to have a complete list of these. Im gona try to push my cold damage bonus over 50%, 20% was already a massive boost to my damage, 50% is gona be crazy lol.
Found some legendary bracers with 20% cold damage, which is nice because i was using frost arrow already. On paper it was a dps lost of a few % because i lost 1.5% crit from them. But in practice my damage just sky rocketed. My frost arrow crit for 1.8-2 million on the second application (culling the weak). Those particular bracers also have a nice ability of making enemy that were affected by a knockback to receive 20% more damage for 5 second. On elites packs with Rain of vengeance that knock back and wolf, my frost arrow crit is in the 3 million range and my entangling shot with frost rune 1.5 million.
Im not sure exactly but to me it looks like elemental % increase is calculated at the very end. The lost of other dps stats is not a problem because % elemental damage can show up on gear IAS/Crit damage cant show up on as well. Meaning it doesent even have to compete with it. And if gaining a flat 15-20% damage to all the ability you use at the end of damage calculation make you lose a couple of crit points or crit damage in the process in most case youd still be doing more damage. Its now my priority on shoulders and bracers. If you love to go for an elemental focus on a build, it should definitively be on the top of your list.
Can finally go back to playing my DH without feeling the dread of bolashot/trap spam that cause medicore DPS even with over 300k paper dps. Other finishers and builder finally being on par with other classes ability for a change. I love using Bows in real life, i want to use bows in the god damn game again, you know shooting arrows, it was hard to make DH finally able to use spells that SHOOT arrows again, but it finally happened.
Just keep in mind there has been no independent confirmation it's tomorrow...just a single random tweet.
Actually theres a second tweet now josh mosqueira with a cryptic: patch, tic toc tic toc. Along those lines, i mean if it was next week, why even tweet that Tonight lol. When another employe just tweet that its tomorow. I can say im pretty certain its as close as a confirmation we could get.
No bounties those are in adventure modes. Classes changes are in, as a Demon hunter thats like 95% of the patch for me. I cant wait to get away from stupid bola shot and trap spam that still cant outdamage a barbarian or a monk with half my paper dps. The PTR when you see the millions flying across your screen on useful spells. Its funny because my second class is barbarian, but on him its pretty much the reversal, he was slightly less geared than my DH and yet clearing MP10 eye closed, on the PTR is like where did all my damage go :(.
On one side i feel for my barb, but it just wasent logical and my DH made me felt like i was wasting time with its mediocrity over a less geared barb. Now the gears pay off into fun times.
Legendaries are still BoA and stuff. So you would only be getting gold or crafting mats.
Was only being sarcastic, this been the only argument everyone that claimed 2.0.1 would never hit live before auction house closing had. Also gold is BoA as far as we know/been told. It was subject to change but for the entire Beta/ptr is was the model used, my guess is they are going foward with it. Many of the crafting mats are BoA too.
Its mostly rare items that will probably get traded, not that its really that important really, this will have no effect what so ever after march 25.
Blade wings are for anyone that bought online deluxe as well, not even preorder. I have them because im a SC2 player anyway. If everyone wanted them, everyone would have them. I dont see the problem of the wingz of valor...... everyone has them, who cares? Can some of these people only feel good if they are the only one feeling good? Why do you care if someone else has the wings for fuck sake. Personally im using blade wings on my DH and wings of valor on my Crusader. Love the contrast.
OP: "I know many will disagree, but that's my opinion. I'm not going to fume and obsess over it though."
Just an opinion mate, no need to go hostile.
I didnt mean a single person in particular, thats why i said some these people. Its a huge complaint even on the official forums, i just dont like the attitude in general, just be grateful for these kind of meaningless gifts. Personally i rather video game company go away with ingame gifts on preorder and timed collection stuff in the game, its just bad taste to me, but its great marketing. Collection should be physical collection stuff, you know a statue, a keychain, an art book, you know collection.
I dont see why it should only be people like me that get collector edition that should get ingame stuff like wings, it shouldnt be the selling point of a collector edition, if it is, it means the package is pretty poor to be honest.
How are they going to BoA gold with the ah still up? I'd imagine they wont until AH shutsdown.
They can simply not have gold be tradable on the AH, remember that on the ptr and beta they had a AH tab that was there for a while, but unclickable. For all we know the option to trade gold on it is disabled.
