The one on the left i am bidding for, i have 20k bid on it at the moment. But do you think that it would be better overall than my current one on the right. The one on the right has the +damage % but the one on the left has higher dps.
 
+damage means nothing, its already applied to the weapon.

Right has the better crit potential as you could easily put a Radiant Square/Star in it for 60/70% crit damage and the vit is worth a lot more than 17 more dex. Also no way in hell is the left weapon gonna sell for 20k. Why are you searching for 200+ dex anyway? Its a nice damage boost sure but that high you pay quite the premium. I'm trying to sell my old 970 dps Crossbow with 100 dex and I can't shift it at 150k.
 
Yeah you really want a 1K~ DPS bow/xbow with a socket or crit dmg %, even if it's blue it will be a massive DPS boost over that bow, 200 dex does not does make up for 300 DPS less imo.
 
Well i managed to get a 200 dex bow at level 51 and since then any weapons that i purchased that didn't have +200 dex even if they had higher dps did not increase my damage overall. So i thought i had to get min 200 dex or i would be wasting my time. Well that was my thinking behind it. But i am aware that the 200 dex will increase the cost of items.

Can you re gem already gem-ed items ? I thought once an item was gem that it was permanent? Actually i never tried upgrading a gem..

I thought 20k was a good price for a 770 dps bow with 200 dex and crit.

Yea but you juggle round stats on your whole gearset.

It's not perfectly good for a weapon, don't be silly. It's got low damage and the +stats are horrid.

People these days :rolleyes:

It is perfectly fine as a weapon, not everyone has 50 bajillion gold to splash out on items.

Yes there are better options available but as that weapon stands, if your still in hell or act1 inferno it will be more than good enough.

If on the other hand you happen to have 5 million gold to spend or a blank cheque book to use then by all means go buy a 900+ DPS weapon but don't go dismissing a weapon because its not one of the "elite" few.

For me personally I use a 916 DPS 1H crossbow, I could actually drop down to as low as 800 DPS and it would be a DPS increase if its stats made up the difference which is more than possible.

That and certain stats are only available on certain items, for instance Critical Damage can only be found on Amulets, Rings and Weapons. Now if you take 30 seconds to peek at the AH you will see that Amulets and Rings with crit damage are incredibly expensive, weapons are not. So the logical thing to do while gearing up, is get a weapon with it on as they are very common and not ridiculously over priced.

I played through beat inferno got the best gear and then farmed until rmah came out.
Was happy with what i got out of it tbh will probably look to buy a new system with the money i got from selling.
So yeah how did people do with the rmah?

The +damage% is already calculated into the weapons DPS,

Based on my gear the weapon on the left would give me 36,005 DPS, the weapon on the right would be 32,308 DPS but if you change the Gem to a higher one its DPS can surpass the weapon on the left (100% Gem would give 36,721 DPS)

Obviously if you can afford a 20 million gold Gem though you'd have a better weapon :)

I stand by what I originally said. Terrible +stats, Terrible damage and it's not worth much.

Stop arguing when you're wrong and assuming I'm dismissing it because it's not a 1000DPS+ weapon. I'm dismissing it because there are much better weapons for like 10k+ on the GAH.
 
What is the best way of building up your resistances as a Monk??

I've concentrated on each piece of my gear having 25-30 physical resistance and then selected the passive skill so all resistances match the highest individual one - does this sound like the right way to go or is there a better way of doing it?

Thanks guys.....
 
As an experiment I started putting up some gear on the RMAH, to my surprise things are selling quite well. Sold approx 4 items in 3 days, tbh they were nothing special but if you keep the price below a fiver people seem willing to pay it! Go figure.
 
No, phys res is the worst one you could possibly choose. Phys res is sought after as a nice extra, fire res is somewhat also. Any of the other resistances are ignored really and just improved as part of all res.

It depends how you're planning to go about gearing up and how much res you have. Searching for something with nice vit/dex and then 1 particular res, or searching for something with all res/1 res and paying more but getting twice the benefit (and all res can roll higher values I think). Depends how much you're willing to spend really. Ignoring all res will definitely let you get better stats for the same price but the lower max res stat will come back and bite you later.

Well it could have easily sold for 400kish, the stats and dps are not what sell it. It is the the crit damage and the slot to add another crit gem which is what gives it the value.

I hope you vendor items like that regulary, missing out on tonnes of money due to thinking dps/low stats mean everything.

Crit damage is highly sought after, especially after the IAS nerf. You can have a 800/900 dps xbow better than a 1100/1200 one if it has 150% crit or more rather than high normal stats.

He's not wrong you are, the bloke said he sold it for 115k which is like 113k more than he would have got vendoring the item as you suggested.

I think it is time for me to quit this game,it is really boring/unrewarding with no progression.Playing for countless hours and getting weapons with 150 dps and level 50 items all the time is a joke.I have identified over 600 rares this week and out of all these I sold only 4 on the AH for a grand total of 1.1 million.Such a waste of time.

Sadly I felt like this a few days ago. About 200 hours across all characters and the game just feels so boring now. It was fun though!

Someone thought otherwise to have paid over 100k for it then. And looking at the AH, weapons of the same DPS with worse stats sell for a lot more than 10k.

Yes there are better weapons, and yes they are probably cheap, but not everyone wants to use the AH, if you were leveling and it dropped, you wouldnt think ohh well there's better on the AH for a few thousand gold, you'd be "omfg awesome I'm gonna use that good un proper"

I'm not trying to argue here, but you are wrong, yes there are better weapons available but for someone new that is perfectly fine and more than good enough until you can afford better. As a monk what more could you possibly want than a weapon with dex, vit, ias, crit dam and a socket for loh. Thats everything you can ever want right there.

You're wrong. So clearly wrong. Yes it isn't a great weapon but as the sale proved, it was easily worth over 100k.

Feel free to continuing weapons that could get you 100k though. You're clearly richer than most.
