So glad those threads were created, it has made this thread so much more bearable. In the past 20 posts now, people have actually been discussing game concepts.

My poor DH was using a 1-h bow and a quiver. For some reason the first time I got a 2-h Bow I couldn't equip it directly with a quiver already equipped for some reason, so I assumed you could only use quivers with 1-h bows. As such, that is what I've been doing from the beginning. I just discovered yesterday that you could use a 2-h bow and a quiver. I felt like an utter n00b. At least it hasn't been difficult leveling, but to think at how much more I could have been destroying things!

Jeez, I didn't realize that either, but I guess it makes sense. No wonder 1h xbows don't sell that well in the AH

I've been using a 2 handed xbow on my DH, I've got a really sweet quiver to use it with and it's been insanely easy to level. On my WD I've been using 1 handers and focuses, but I've been trying to pick up a good 2 hander to use with him, what are the best choices for wd's for 2 handers is it pretty much just staves or are there any other options?

With their track record, it's going to be down for the rest of the day until everyone goes to bed. That's when they don't get swarmed by logins which is prob why they can't seem to get shit back up when they take it down.

that's why I said it was stupid to take the servers down during the day for maintenance. I don't recall a time since D3 release they haven't had trouble bringing the servers back up.

I'm ok with changing default AH time to 36H, seems like a large majority of sales occur in the first ~2 hours or so or not at all anyway.

The AH timer is the only thing I'm excited about, I'll take anything I can get. Tough I would have preferably liked to be able to cancel my auctions. They can put in a penalty for cancelling if they like, call it a gold sink.

I'm so pissed about the nerf to Force Armor. I didn't exploit it like others did (run inferno with 1,000 life since FA limits hits to 35%, then have 1,000 life regen per second - invulnerable), but it is required for a wizard in Inferno, and it is totally broken now.

Half the mobs 1 shot you even if you have Force Armor, but it's still required to stay alive from the other half of mobs. I love how Blizz says "If you have to take a skill we are doing something wrong", yet FA is pretty much required.

Bought a 950dps 19ias 1h for 1.6 million before the servers went down, now rocking 27k... a whole 5k increase for that sum lol (and A3 Inferno is still hard as well Inferno).

Well, I feel better. Apparently my brother thought the same thing too. I feel less n00bish now. Also explains why I could buy 1h xbows so cheap, and then why I couldn't sell them back...

The general consensus is that 2h + quiver is better. And that 2h xbows are the best because you are kiting with sharpshooter building up thus creating more guaranteed crits (which xbows benefit from most). I have tried dual wielding also and it was much worse, things died much slower. However it was nice to have the extra +Discipline (and also +hatred regen) on those 1h weapons.

As far as the off hand dps stacking 1:1, no it doesnt. I dont know the math but 2 600 DPS 1h'ers are not better than 1 2h 1000DPS. Apparently at maximum gear levels dual wielding becomes better, but I am not sure if I even believe that. That guy Athene (a guy who has the best items money can buy) uses a very high dps 2h xbow and plows through inferno bosses in a matter of 15 or so seconds.


Good info thanks !
