That's not what he said. He said the top tier items will be rares, and he's probably talking about the 6-modifier blacksmith rares. And he's probably saying that with regard to the fact that you could in theory get something like 6 straight high elemental damage mods all on top of each other or something (i.e. something very unlikely to happen, and impossible on blues).

Not to mention wtf how rare are legendaries. Still haven't seen one, got characters at 44, 32, 17, 11... If you're going to make them shitty, make them drop a little more often maybe

I'm starting to think legendaries are only supposed to be coming from inferno at any reasonable rate. The bulk of them are 60s and your drop rate gets a lot better once you start farming things with Nephalem Valor. As if they intended that to be the only real way of getting legendaries at all. It still feels shitty and weird given how I expect to find sets/uniques over the whole game (coming from D2), but I think that's their reasoning behind it.

Basically just started Act 2 in Nightmare. Would anyone like to team up? Can add me, BT is Beef#1326

The legendaries shown in the item database could still potentially roll some real nice affixes though, no? Azurewrath with a nice damage mod would compete quite well with that blue sword then.

I saw someone today link a Hellrack Crossbow with just over 800 dps. Its the first legendary I've seen with that high of dps.

This is something I was about to ask. so the dps IS more important than the stats on a weapon? I know all actions are based on weapondamage, but still. Just wanna know if I should stop filtering items for str/vit on AH

dps is everything on weapons because you can get enough of everything else on other things.

Almost true! The windforce I linked was like a 200dps upgrade but due to my current bow having 111 dex it was only a 2k dps upgrade(from 12>14k) so if its close like less then 100dps it might not be an upgrade.

Always sort by dps, you want the best affordable upgrade, but keep other stats in mind.

Basically on my WD at 55 my weapon has 85 or 95vit on it, I value VIT over EVERYTHING else. So when I look for a new weapon, I sort by dps but put a minimum of 90vit in the search so I only get upgrades to both DPS and survivability. Sometimes my weapons wont have INT at all. 100dps dwarfs 100int.

As I thought, Smokescreen just got nerfed. It's not yet live on the NA servers but it's hit the EU servers:

Smokescreen: Duration lowered by one second (1 second duration, 2 second duration with Lingering Fog rune). Now has a 3 second cooldown.

Also, related:

I do the same thing on Act 4 Inferno champion packs, lol. Just chain Smokescreen and DPS them down while standing in one spot.

**Syntex** · 2012-05-23 02:53

Another bow. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Nice, grats. I'm saving up a Windforce in my stash in case they buff legendaries in the future.

...yeah I know, I'm holding out hope since I rolled with a Windforce on my bowazon back in D2 :<

**Syntex** · 2012-05-23 03:02

I am a speed junkie so anything without 20% attack speed that isn't a hand crossbow I wont use. 2.0 attacks a second yeaaaaaaaaaa.

I can confirm that the smoke screen nerf is now live on US servers. It went live during one of my inferno diablo attempts :(. Still killed it, though!

**Uzor** · 2012-05-23 05:48

Aw, that sucks. Lingering Fog is a must now :/

They should buff the other runes then. I mean, honestly, the Hatred rune now gives 6 hatred when you use it. The only decent ones are the HP heal and the duration now.

**Tarage** · 2012-05-23 07:57

That is stupid. It wasn't overpowered. God, DH doesn't have much going for it.

Should try playing a melee, lawl.

Also, I hope some of you got in on the fun while it was possible.

Spoiler: show

Failed image.

But yeah, figured it out. :< Also still can't get dev hell.

**Eanae** · 2012-05-23 09:00

Smoke screen nerf? Really? Well back to getting one shot nonstop to champ packs.
