Exactly. If you're for example trying to gear out a barb AND a wizard then rolling +vitaily amulets gives you the best chances of getting a dual stat useful amulet.

Need some help from the WW Barbarians. I have been picking up certain pieces of gear over the last week. Got a little lucky finding Ice Climbers with 173 Str/ 73 vita and 80 RA with Increased pickup radius for 6 mil. That helped since I was loosing the pickup switching my bracers. I think I am ready to make the switch from what I am playing now to a WW Build. I am trying to assertain whether or not I have enough IAS for the build. I have a EF with 0.25 Bonus to attack with +27% to AS on my gear. The Doll says I attack at 2.22 attacks per second. Is that all the IAS I will need on my gear or do I need to find one more piece? I also have 51,000 Life with 490 RA. My DPS with the changed gear is 91k unbuffed. I am running with a 24% increase to runspeed and 8.9% Life Steal.
You can figure out your wltw breakpoint in the link Ishad provided a bit back. In general if your a DW barb with EF you don't need to stack IAS gear. Cc and CD should take priority. If you are close to a breakpoint then get IAS. If not it isn't doing much. Since I'm starting to run a Skorn WW build things are a bit different. But for EF it is pretty basic. Your life seems high and DPs low but it is hard to say without running through d3rawr

I think now with the drops of demonic essence Alkaizer may not be the end all be all route anymore. Its a solid route for XP still but it favors mowing down packs of whites instead of really hunting elites. There was also a video on reddit of some guy using a rend + sprint + WW build on MP5 that was getting better XP/hr than Alk. I think he basically just cleared Keeps 2 over and over again without caring to kill the elites. I believe the idea was to basically to run into a middle of a pack, rend and run out while your two dots kill the pack.

I have to laugh a bit at the new recipes: every single one I've crafted (Dex) has had Int and some kind of useless resistence on it (Physical) plus usually the infamous "Monsters Take 5 pts of damage when hitting player" thing. Funny how RNG is RNG I know. The thing is, I just can't help but think Blizz is still trolling. If the item is account-bound and I buy the Dex recipe, why didn't they just make it so I *couldnt* then roll Int or Str? Would it really kill them to do that? What harm would there be? It is just wasting my time really - its not like the resource costs are significant enough to stop me from making numerous attempts, so why not just eliminate a chance for me to get something automatically useless? I think this is such a poorly designed game is so many ways.
I was running VoA mindlessly last night but it seems pretty piss poor in terms of XP/hr. I was still running the route that was basically clearing almost all of Act3. Basically Keep 3, Damned 1, Keep 1, Keep 2, Bridge, Crater 2 then go down the route to kill the spider, Azmo and then the two bosses in Act4. I was getting maybe 20'ish essence/hr and really good XP.

Those stats aren't TOTALLY useless. As a Monk, I don't mind something having an extra 150 strength on it, since my resists are high but armor is low. But, all my crafting has done pretty well for me. I did like 10 each of the gloves and shoulders and got solid upgrades, I've done about 21 amulets and gotten 3-4 decent upgrades (can't decide which I like most). None had the trinity of ias/cc/cd on them though.

Have you done any crafting before this patch? Cause it's always been this random. When I was making batches of 6 prop bracers not too long after release, I considered myself lucky if I sold 1 in 10.

I figured to give this a run with the new patch, first time I played longer then 10 minutes since May I think. I'm still dissapointed and think the game has several flaws it shouldnt have if they had used more then their C team etc etc. But I'm actually posting to ask if the legendaries I found are worth anything. I just have no idea which of the stats actually matter to DH/Monk. I figure the quiver isnt much because of the low attack speed roll, but the monk weapon I cant judge at all. i'd appreciate some input on that.
The third one is an amulet I crafted (playing wizard), I figure with those stats I might as well stop crafting them for now? At least it was a huge dps upgrade (at the cost of like 10k life).

The new crafted stuff is all account bound, can't be sold. That is a pretty fucking amazing piece though. You're probably right about the quiver though, pretty sure the IAS range is 10-20, making that the worst possible roll. Everything else on it is pretty boss though, so I imagine you could still get a decent price.
