Is DW or Skorn better for group farming?

thanks for the guide I think it is awesome.

now can someone give some guide as how to gear up the merc? (scoundel for the barb)
for example
1. if the scoundel is using a cold soj, would my barb still need to use the cold soj? I think not?
2. should the scoudel use buriza? if not which weapon?

thanks.

When considering the MH weapon, if the EF and a rare Mace both have the same raw dmg, same +str, cd, and 1 socket, wouldn't make the EF a better weapon than the rare mace? (because EF is faster attack speed)
of course probably that EF is gonna cost more, but nowadays rare Mace with str/cd/socket is quite expensive as well on AH.

Random Question... Could you dual wield EFs, and would the +.25 stack? You can get some EFs that do pretty good damage, and that would be kinda crazy.

If dualwielding and they both have the exact same min-max and rolls, then they are both equal in MAINHAND.

e.g:

500-1000 damage with 1.2 speed = 900 dps
500-1000 damage with 1.45 speed (assuming +0.25 aps) = 1087.5 dps

Rend and RLTW both take only the min-max from the mainhand, so they will do the exact same damage, whether you put EF in mainhand or offhand.

RLTW / Smash alternates between the attack speed of both your mainhand and offhand, so it doesn't matter if you switch them

Now if you are MH+shield, then of course the better dps is EF

That's why only high end barbs use EF as a mainhand, because a 1030 dps 1.2speed rare mace has around the same min-max as a EF with 1200 dps 1.45 speed.

If you can get a 1200+ dps EF, then it will be better in mainhand than most rare mace (except if you find even better, like a 1150+dps rare mace 1.2 speed)




You can't equip 2 same legendaries

Thats lame but thanks Stef

Where can i see HOTA spec guide? Maybe you have one, TBoner? =)

Can some one explain me why the main hand dont need IAS ? and if this guid is still availble in this version of D3

you have ias from echoing fury (0.21-25 attack per sec)

Hey guys,

I'd like some advice for my barb : http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/name-2272/hero/21281671
He sucks balls actually... I can't keep wotb on. I suppose it's because he lacks attack speed and doesn't reach 2.5 bp and I plan to change my hellfire ring to get more ias/cc.
But what do you think about 5 IK pieces to have more fury ? Is it worthwhile ? I am using a mighty weapon on MH to generate more fury (to keep wotb). Is it useless ? Is a .21 EF bad ?

Thanks for reading !
