The latest video shows me killing 2 elites groups that spawned together in less than 10 seconds with acid rain. Its about 2 minutes into the video. I don't have spirit barrage on here. I don't always use the same skills. I switch them up alot so what appears on my bnet profile may be just something i was messing around with before I went to sleep.
I like to use acid rain solo because it provides an easier clear than bears. Using only acid cloud requires high dps. I use ptv and sometimes sacrifice. This allows my dps to go to 400k when fully buffed.

Of course when patch comes out, I'm going to use bears only and SV at high mplvls.

my ToTD was only 20 mil

Working ona Zuni Chest, still perplexed on why my dps is still low (the SOJ doesnt help the stats #wise of course) Got to figure out what else to upgrade. Might just ditch the Lucanis, for some crit bracers.

Im running acid cloud as a main attack now, evenw ith my gear and lower dps, it dominates single/2 player games and i can farm and clear stuff pretty quickly

Latenight stream up

which do you think would be more important. 12 movement speed or cc and resist for higher mp? considering changing out my lacuni bracers for some good rare with cc resist

here is a link to my profile. im working on getting zuni pieces but thinking about changing my bracers first

I generally run Act3 Alkaizer runs in the below setup and die 3-6 times a run, but it's fruitful with 273% base MF.
However, earlier today I found a Skorn and am wondering if it's worth sifting through the AH and dropping about 40-80% MF to find new crit chance/pickup radius armor to equip this Skorn...

Char: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Zoelef-1854/hero/17710444
Skorn: 1330 dps, 295 Int, 230 Vit, 196% CD

Thanks for your time.

Replying to myself here:

Equipped the Skorn, bought a P.Star Emerald and about 1m of modest crit/pickup radius gear so I'm sitting at 52.5k DPS (up from 40.5k) and 219% mf (down from 275%).

As others have said, the Reflect Damage affix punches through Spirit Vessel, and halving my pickup radius is frustrating at times - I think long-term I want to go back to a 1h/TotD setup. However it is noticably faster at the moment so I'm buying into it, even without the lifesteal.

I would go back to 1h/totd unless you are liking the skorn alot.

You could make some significant armor upgrades without spending too much. I would suggest dropping a little magic find. Farming faster without dying will probly yield more despite having less mf. Also you will paragon lvl faster this way.

I suggest getting more crit hit chance(25-30 total would be ideal for you). I suggest getting the additional 5-10 critchance by replacing your rare ring and/or ammy. I also suggest upgrading chest/pants/weapon. Scrap some mf and get more all res and main stats. If you want to get a new weapon, I suggest getting a spear/mace/axe with int, lifesteal, open socket(emerald). If you keep attack speed low, you can scrap ghost bomb alltogether and spam bears. Leeching beast zombie dogs would be good in the ghost bomb slot because it would provide more survivability. Personally, I do not have life steal and find that leeching beast/globes/GI/regen provide enough hp. This does require fairly high dps tho. I can kill reflects by spamming bears while in spirit walk. If I'm careless and don't acknowledge reflects, spirit vessal will save me.

I hope this info is helps. With some improvement, you will be doing fast runs with minimal deaths.

I've also found that Reflect Damage is only terrible if you're at low life, I stutter-stepped through a couple of RD packs at full health and the recoil basically didn't matter, 4k armor has its benefits I suppose.

I switched into kinda-your build as I've dropped the BBV for Dogs/Leeching and it's helped a bunch and as you said, you can get by without lifesteal if you fill yourself up with buckets of non-lifesteal regen: in my case it's Leeching Dogs, 600 life regen, and +9k from globes. I'm on the fence on dropping Ghost Bomb to bring back BBV but honestly I don't find myself needing BBV now that my offense shot up a bunch.

I really like the Skorn right now, my dps is 30% higher and more importantly my damage/swing is 80% higher and that's mauling trash packs quite handily. Long-term though I do agree about going back to the 1h/TotD and I'm keeping a vigilant eye on the AH for sanely-priced rares/Manajuma Knives. As for replacing gear, I'm waiting for Z.Marrows to not be 40million at the low end and then I'll work towards a set. Similarly, once 1.0.5 is mature, mediocre replacement jewelry will see quality upgrades.

The last couple runs were much less death-inducing, but packs with Fast/Molten/Vortex (melee) or Knockback (ranged) are jerkholes regardless.

Again, thanks for your reply.
