Its attack speed is kaaak slow though, used one with high intel on my WD for a while

Yes you need to have geared for a lot of increased attack speed to make skorn worth it.

It works ok for me saw a 500k SSS crit ...

 

[moosamc]

Yes but look at your average damage. You will be attacking much slower. Will work out in long fights but not so good for farming.

Which number?
My damage figure has gone up from 60k to 74k...

 

[moosamc]

That's due to the higher damage value. You will be doing much more damage per hit but much less hits.

Try to see how long your farming runs take. That will give you an idea of whether its working for you or not.

Seems to be quicker actually. I use sweeping wind a lot and its damage has also ramped up. Whirlwinds do 20-30k crits now as well

You enjoying that scorn?

I am having latency issues with my Cell C connection. Is D3 itself also still giving latency issues? Last night me and Crusader tried to start a run but my ping was at around 1.5k - 3k and I know he also had some latency issues.

Seemed fine on afrihost this morning

 

[moosamc]

Was not too good for me. Latency was all over the place. Couldn't join Crusader's game but he could join mine. WTF is up with that?

Yoh, yesterday was a bit of a mindfck. I actually don't know what's going on, I need to do some testing tonight.

I swapped out my main hand weapon for a higher dps but no crit damage roll. This netted in a -4k DPS, but I wanted to try it out as I think the higher dps range works out better for Sweeping Wind.

Then I swapped out my hellfire ring to try out this Ring of Jordan I found over the weekend. Instant drop of about 18k damage. Ring of Jordan however, gives me 5% poison damage, 29% damage against elites and 10% damage bonus to Fist of Thunder (primary attack) none of which I believe show on your characters dps making it very hard to judge.

So I decided to do a run and see. Dunno if its some form of confirmation bias, but fark it felt gooood!

Still gonna test a bit tonight, but so far looks like even though my sheet dps dropped by 20k odd my speed and efficiency has increased... :wtf:

 

[moosamc]

I have found that the dps on your character information sheet is a lie. You actually need to test how fast stuff dies to see the improvements. I have seen a significant improvement dropping the number from over 220k to 110k. All depends on your play style and skill selection.

There's something definitely wiggy on the EU servers. I can't receive any whispers. However, at least I can join other parties and I can receive party chats. Seems some people have had major issues in joining with friends.

Taken from forum thread, seems to be a workaround to be able to join group games etc.

"Me and my girl have been testing around on this for a while and we figure it's some kind of party locking issue that basically banishes people to limbo.

That said here's a little thing that worked for us to allow us to play together and use party chat. If it can be extended to work for larger parties seems likely but I didn't get to test that yet.

Here's what we did:

1. Player A create game, player B wait in menu's
2. Player A send invite to B(do not use quickjoin) , player B accept but wait in menu

Player B Do not click resume (just don't)

3. Wait a few minutes... I haven't timed it yet (waiting for afk seems to work)

5. Click resume

B should end up in the party with A.

Had a chance to test this 3 or 4 times now... you really need to do that wait it seems.

Maybe it'll work for you in some way or the other this way... worked for us so far."

Couple people have confirmed that for whatever reason the above works.

Thanks, will try it out.
