Attack speed nerf

[werries2]

yes, i understand what you saying that there where guys taking advantage of it running crazy stats, but what about the normal guys struggling. its gotta be harder for the guys running crazy attack speeds but still easy and for the guys running average stats they gonna suffer.

there are guys running 160k-180k DPS DH's not they gonna feel much of a 25% loss in attack speed but what about me running 60K, im gonna feel it big time.

my monk does 8K damage he is gonna drop down to like 5K or lower, basically impossible to play with in inferno even with the inferno nerfs.

just feel like i worked hard to get where i am now they nerfing it but the guys taking advantage not even gonna feel it that much

A drop from 8k to 5k? from just attack speed nerf? Not as if 8k was good enough for hell never mind Inferno
If you had so much IAS you should have rather spend the gold on much cheaper gear and get your dps over 14k

I have 0 IAS increase on my Monk, so this will not affect me too much Did some forward thinking a long time ago and got a dagger with 1.50 Attack speed, with 1100 LOH doing 900 dps... At a fraction of all the IAS speed weapons that will be nerfed down to the same dps levels with lower LOH.

Looking if I can re-build my monk to a 2H weapons user with plenty of LOH, %Crit and Crit damage. Already got a nice Amulet with 600 LOH and 45% Crit dmg.

I'm lucky in that I've been using Inna's Leggings and Boj Anglers, both with bugged attack speed, so I gain the IAS from that but lose 50% to the nerf only lowering it from 42% down to 34% overall

Items like Rings with +crit and +critdmg should start to rise in price once people figure out it's probably worth more than +6 or +7 IAS in most cases, keep an eye out for gear like that, gloves and offhands can have up to 10% crit.

Sorry to inform you but your Inna's Leggings and Boj Anglers will not be fixed in this patch. Only new legendary & Set items that drop from now on will be fixed. Existing items will only be fixed in the next bug fix patch, 1.0.4


@werries2 Nice one! Good to see a player who thinks a bit. But where the hell did you get a 900dps weapon with 1k LoH for cheap?

15 Euro on RMAH had a buy out of 150ish. It even have a 300LOH gem in it, so if I want to go more aggressive I can replace that with a Crit damage one and still have 700+ LOH on the weapon. Think it also have 130 Dexterity on it, so well suited for my Monk.

Well it is 875 dps not 900, but the 25 dps is easily made up by the dex on the weapon.

 

[PhreeMe]

try it and see???? just read the notes

50%!!!!!!!!!!!!! that's STUPID i might as well stop playing now
oh and they nerfing nether tenticals the last useful skill on DH

i suppose this is goodbye.

i mean yes they fixing inferno, but they are messing the classes up even more now.

i would rather have inferno crazy difficult but my attack speed and nether tenticals back.....
this sucks big time

50%? seriously u guys think this is ok?

i have well balanced builds not dependant on att speed alone , but this will affect everyone big time

and nerfing nether tenticals........... aaaaahhhhhh idiots!!!

Bud this is a 'just in case' post, but you know that it won't affect your weapon's standard attack rate?
It will only affect the attack speed where it's a +stat on the item....

Just updated and logged in now
Damage went from 48K down to 31K
/wrists

 

[Supes]

My WDs DPS dropped from 76k to 49k, stacked a bit too much AS methinks Main DPS drop was my weapon, lost almost 100 on it alone.
But I've got a tank set so with the Inferno nerfs I'll probably give that a shot instead of GC

Edit, didn't loose 1k dps on my weapon -.-

 

[Killove]

Wiz damage went from 73k to 51k. Also have no Vitality, sitting with 6k health.

I'm pretty much fu**ed.

Have you guys tested inferno yet or just making calls on your stats?

 

[TheRidDlerX]

Guess im lucky then. Running 25k dps on my DH with crit and dex alone. Was planning on going IAS after the patch so i dont lose my mind. NT nerf is going to hurt bigtime.

 

[Supes]

I played about 5 min on Act 2, things didn't one shot me in my DPS gear, so that was a good sign, didn't find any Champ/Elite packs though

 

[Devill]

Well had a quick test in Hell... went from doing 8.9k dps to 6.9k dps but still killing things at the same rate imo.

Will see when it becomes boss time.

yeah did a quick check on my wd, via remote and I've droped from 21.5 k to 18.5k
I can live with that, with the better drop rate of legendary, I should be able to fix that

 

[MaGe]

Also did 'n quick test ... dropped about 2K damage on my Barb, down from 1.98 to 1.66 Attacks per second, so nothing game changing for me as such.

Played the first bit of Act2. Can now take on whole groups of Lacuni/Fallen without having to worry too much. Not even having to use a potion once.
Found two blue groups, first was those lizards which pops up out the sand, mortar frozen fast electrified, killed group in about a minute without even needing a potion.
Second group took a bit of kiting and took a little longer to kill, was 3 of the fallen dudes, arcane desecrator fire link teleport.

And as i said ... no deaths for about 30mins worth of play

PS. First yellow drop was an iLVL63 pair of boots, Archon Greaves, 346 armour and then other useless stats on

 

[fusionbrad]

seems like normal mobs are easier elite's are still hectic but they dont one shot you they now 2 or 3 shot you

i spent 3mil on gear today redoing 2 of my characters, they still feel way to underpowered now after the nerfs

 

[Oculate]

Just checked my char,

Took a 1k dps loss, 14.5k to 13.5k

Replacing my 71 dex 15% IAS ring (now nerfed to 7%) for a 150 dex, 97 int, 22 fire res ring

I'm now on 13k dps, 6.8k armor, 28k hp (no change), 701 res all - Tonight's run in Act 2 will be interesting
