Yeah that is pretty harsh if true. Makes me glad ive been stacking crit dmg and crit chance but even so, im gonna lose a fair chunk of dps from that. I have 17 on 1 ring, 12 on other and 13 on bp meaning i lose 22% ias. Ouchie! I guess the coresponding nerf to act 3/4 will make it meaningless anyway.

Coupled with the insane increase in repair costs I might just avoid Inferno all together.
Sorry but why would you waste your time doing it on D2 and not D3?
Most skills were absolutely useless on Hell and unless you had the ability to deal at least 2 types of damage you were never going to stand a chance on Hell. Even then that might not be enough when you come up against enemies with 3 immunities. There were a VERY limited number of builds available for each class that could do Hell. Anything else you were playing through with because you wanted to try it out, absolutely no different to playing through D3 with a fresh character. There was nowhere near the variation available with skills in D2.
They're not proper achievements, they wouldn't stop you 100%-ing the achieves if you wanted to.
I picked up a feat of strength the other day for some mob I killed in a special dungeon, didn't have any points to it.
Because even within your first couple of levels, to have a good build you've already committed to it. In Diablo 3 you never have to commit to anything.
I've explained it before but i'll try putting it as simple as i can.
D3 = Change skills whenever you want, change your build whenever you want. Going through again isn't worth it because you've already got access to any build you want (subject to gear).
D2 = Skill and build selections are strict. You want a different play style, you play through the game again, and it's a different experience every time.
Diablo 3 is basically you trying everything as you level up and eventually settling on something you enjoy (which is great for a first playthrough, but makes it entirely unnecessary to go through with that class again). You've tried it all, can try it all and not have it jeopardise the end game strength of your character.
Please can someone else step in and say if they think what i'm saying is anything but obvious?
The latter, especially with the IAS nerf coming soon.
Is the legendary a 1H also? if so probably that, better stats, but it does depend on your other stats. Put them into a spreadsheet calculator that are floating around and see what it comes out with.

I wonder about the weapon IAS thing, my bow has 21% IAS but I assumed that speed bonus was plugged into the weapon DPS already, but does this mean my weapon now will do less damage as well?
Without changing anything on my weapon I put the new numbers in and I lose 18500 DPS which is a fair chunk.
The Evilsod v Powleys argument is frustrating to read. Powlesy is right. In D3 you can chop and change skills to your hearts content so one playthrough per class will give you the full game experience. Finito. Job done. Farm away. In D2 the points system forced you to commit to a certain style of play and in turn coherced you into playing the game multiple times with each class. For better or worse that repeat playability has been lost in D3 with the new skill system.
I'm at level 52 and just completed Hell. I can't face another play through to level 60 as its the same all over again and I'm bored.
The real money auction house has ruined it as before this I could possibly find good items going cheap but now all good items are whacked in the real money place and I have no interest in spending more cash on the game.

I watched these videos (well, sort of) and was inspired to do the same or similar, but in the end I just couldn't get close enough to his stats to comfortably make it through Act 2. I have 690 All Res, 6.8K armour, and just under 30K health. The lack of health is what I'm most disappointed with, but with only 5.9K damage as it is, I'd rather not swap STR for VIT on the couple or so items I have that lack it. I have a pretty crappy shield, though, which doesn't help either.
To be honest, with the mates I play with, I can get through Act 2, but it's tricky in places and we have to skip those occasional Elite packs with absurd ability combinations. Still, at least I'm relatively happy with how little I spent to get to where I am.
I understand exactly what you're saying and its a load of rubbish. You gonna tell me you played through and tried out every single skill rune you unlocked? And that you didn't just take a look at the description of most of them and maybe didn't bother or tried them out for a few minutes and changed them back without any consideration as to how they'd work with other runes? You somehow managed to try every realistic skill combination while levelling up did you?
If the answer to any of those questions is no then you clearly haven't played everything the class has to offer and you haven't done so as you progressed through your character improving there gear. Changing your skills at level 60 is not playing through the game, if you aren't going to acknowledge this simple fact don't bother replying.
I followed that vid as well and I could not understand how he managed with just 5k ish damage. I copied his items the best I could and all I got was hp reduction per second debuff when fighting elites since I cannot killem fast enough.
In the end I spent about 2.5m to get close to his stats on the vid but with 10k damage. The vid was very good but it seems that eu prices are much more expensive than us
