1.978 is like 2.0 dps cuz always round up? or nah

It's 1.98. Attack speed doesn't round up like that.

so is that okay or really try and get the 2.0+?

Run around and cast stuff. If you feel fine with the pause that your character takes when it casts, then you're fine.

2.0 isn't a hard cap, it's just a number that most ppl feel comfortable with. If you can deal with more pausing then lower it a bit.I'm pretty sure 1.98 and 2.0 don't have any noticeable difference.

so not like d2 breakpoints?
also how's this source?
109-375
86 int
85 vit

There aren't actual breakpoints here. Breakpoints were only in existence because D2 wasn't up to the task of tracking the tiny differences between 1.95 and 2.0. In D3, everything happens live.

And yes. It's a great orb.

Having a hard time choosing an orb atm

Can anyone rate this in order ?

75-250dmg with 8-10%increased shock pulse
75-250dmg with 100int
125-350dmg

would the shock pulse be the best choice ?

It's between the 1st and 3rd orb since the 2nd one with INT is not as good. You have enough INT anyways, so more isn't going to help as much as the other two will provide.

Comparing both...
1st orb gives avg 9% damage to shock pulse, I'm assuming.
2nd orb gives avg 75 more damage.

How does 75 more damage affect Shock Pulse's damage?

I'd say that if that 75 damage increases you damage per hit by more than 5%, it's worth it because that's a 5% increase for ALL your skills.
But if it's less, then the shock pulse damage might be better.

How do I switch my buttons around to get blizzard and hydra at the same time. Right now I can only use one or the other.

Options -> Gameplay -> Elective Mode

Edit: I'm think of writing an extensive guide on how to do this. Maybe . . . 8 paragraphs long?
