So according to simulation, my damage goes up with more IAS but my question is, does it really work with bears?
I seem to re-call someone posting something about IAS and bears not working very well because of losing mana pretty quick.


your dps goes up , however on a wd you want to aim for a high dmg per hit rather than dps , high attackspeed drains your mana fast which results in your dps going to zero when youre oom

So it says my damage not dps has increase. Is that what you meant?
What would be the ideal ias a WD/Bear should have?
I use Skorn because of the damage output/LS.
Slower weapon + ias should work well?

Did you read my post?

You have to find the optimal point of the mana regen/aps/skill choices to maximize the effective dps.

Too much attack speed is obviously not good for WDs since you will go oom often. But you need right amount of attack speed added on, so you can shoot out the bears faster for more dmg.

Different skills can get you different amount of mana regen, so you have to find what fits your playstyle the most.

On my current set up, I rarely go out of many and I only play full party on mp10 with my friends. So I do shoot out shitload of bears.

I'm planning to add 7-9% more attack speed on my glove, and that should be it. More than that would not be a good idea with my skill set.

I have been experimenting with IAS and mana friendly skills. So far there's no actual good one.
There's a set up that is mana friendly but not survivability and vice versa.

I have been playing in MP10 and helping a friend with ubers full party today and no problem with mana.
I have no runs left today and just experimenting with ias build.
I was wondering if there's an actual number to how much ias should a WD have depending on 1H/OH vs 2H.
Tried to google it but no avail >.<

If you have no problem with mana, then you can add some more attack speed.

If you have problem with mana, don't add more.

The amount of attack speed added on obviously varies by your set up. 1H/OH or 2H.

Simple as that. :D

Yeah baby. Got the chest I wanted for 120mil. Woot! Feels much better with all the upgrades. Farming mp10 easy.

Now crafting time! lol I'll wait for the next patch to do that. Saved up shitload of essence but I ain't clicking zillion times to do this shit. Nah.

I have a quesiton about weapons. Needless to say I am a zombie wd
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Koston-1229/hero/32235569

I'm using that Manajuma's Knife as a weapon. I keep getting told to get a non-elemental weapon then find a good tals ammy. I'd like to do this since I have some gold now. What stats on a weapon should I be looking for? Whats the ideal APS on a weapon? Should i stick with a slower spear?
I've been to look for a non-elemental, min max damage, open socket, crit chance, life steal weapon with hopefully over 1000+ dps. Does this sound right?

1.2aps weapon/1.4aps weapon all have pros/cons. You gotta find one that fits your playstyle.

Price-wise, under 200mil can get you a rare sword with +1050dps/+60cd/+2.7%ls/socket easy. Those are great.

My tal ammy was 101mil. I compared like 50 tal ammys before getting this.

Have fun shopping.

Do you mind quickly touching on the pros and cons of different APS weapons? I'm having a hard time understanding.

the more asi you have. the more your mana is drained

mana spent per damage slower weapons are greater

can pretty much have unlimited mana with a skorn + proper gears
