How you other wds doing?  Recently made the switch from 1h/oh to a ls skorn and so far I'm digging it.  Also any wd not already using zombie charger sojs should seriously give it a shot

Here's my profile if anyone has anything positive/negative just let me know

Hey fellow WDs, I had a question regarding attack speed:
let's say we have a Lacuni's with like 80 intel, 8ias and 4.5 crit vs. a rare bracer with 160 intel and 6 crit; my sheet DPS drops by 5k; it's obviously due to the fact the sheet paper DPS is calculated by the IAS as well: DPS over time.

However, with DoT spells like Acid Cloud and Locust Swarm, ias really isn't a factor for more ticks, correct?

So, I did some testing to see whether Locust Swarm can crit or not, just to be sure, because it never shows any real numbers. I used the Scoundrel with Hysteria to see if my damage rose when critting. With Locust, it never moved, but every time I hit a crit with Acid Cloud, my dmg went up. I tried all the runes, none of them can crit.

I think this confirms that Locust can't crit.

I think all of us WD would love to have this skill actually crit. It's a good skill that is usable on the lower MP tiers, but the higher we go, the more useless it becomes.

What are your thoughts?
And does anyone know if this was done on purpose or is it some sort of bug?

Should I wait until the next patch to continue upgrading?

That I knew, though.

I just found out that it does crit, even though I knew I wasn't looking for yellow numbers. I was confusing the smaller numbers and larger numbers for minimum and maximum damage. Don't know why.
Also: the Scoundrel's Hysteria doesn't proc on DoT spells. Sorry for the confusion!

hi guys, just started my first serious wd. i wanna go the zombie bears route, no fan of the sacrifice build. my main question is if i should go for 1h/mojo or a 2hander. (skorn or doom hammer)

for reference: http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/blackxistenz-2929/Khaos/27317449
budget is around 100m, eu sc if that matters.
