Yea, yea. Well some of us actually have real jobs and don't dedicate our lives to video games... So when I do play, I don't wanna waste time on the respawn screen. And I understand I didn't pay Blizzard for the item and they only got a % cut from it. The fact is items that are bought with real currency need to retain stat value. And to Mr. HoobaGoblin and Slayerviper - I did read forums bud. Never did I see a 50% nerf announced. I was expecting more of a cap/deminishing returns on % attack speed. Regardless if it was a $250 item or a 10$ item, item changes should have been performed WAY before any real money auctions were implimented.
and a cap / diminishing returns would have equated out to the same loss. gg
So you're saying I get just as much life on hit when I attack slower...k next
Thats not at all what I said. Maybe if you stopped raging and actually read what was said it would get through your thick skull.
ALL IAS WAS NERFED BY 50%. Your formerly 15% IAS item is now 7% like every single other 15% IAS item in the fucking game. Therefore it is still as powerful as it was when compared to every other IAS item in the game. Do you get back as much health from life on hit? No. But is the item worse than other IAS items? No. You still need IAS to reap as much benefit from LoH as you can get so it still serves its fucking purpose. I don't know how to more clearly say it. Dry the tears from your eyes and actually read what people say.
If not a troll, he probably only paid about 2 dollars/euro and is trying to make a massive deal out of nothing to get attention/get flamed. Please people...attentions whores aren't appealing to anyone.
I don't understand why IAS gear becoming crap turned out to be such a surprise for so many people. It was clearly stated in the Blizzard's designer blog weeks ago. Then there was a datamining summary report that clearly stated that ALL IAS gear (except quivers) will be nerfed by 50-55%. I mean, you don't need to be Einstein to figure out it's time to sell IAS stuff, when you see a huge red "!!! You gonna lose shit tons of DPS due to IAS nerf in 1.0.3 !!! Get rid of IAS !!! Stay away from IAS !!!" sign.
I personally sold all my IAS gear last weekend. It wasn't hard. I didn't even have to lower the prices on my items. Quite opposite, actually - got like 8 millions for 5 pieces of my mediocre gear without too much effort and now can invest into something else. Will probably end up with the same DPS I had pre-patch, or higher.
Every single one of you guys, reading these forums, could avoid being screwed by this nerf. Or even benefit from it. If you didn't, it's totally your own fault.

Well, IAS is not crap that should be stayed away from. It is still the best DPS increase in the game as it was prior to the nerf. There is just less of it per item. Selling it all I think was a massive mistake on your part and you nerfed your DPS tremendously for no reason at all.
Although, I agree with you that the "price" on the items has dropped and it is less cost efficient than it previously was. Though it is still the top DPS increase in the game.
Making a balanced game takes precedence over your need to have pixels retain their value after purchase. Especially when there is language specifically included regarding the fact that game balance can and will occur on items previously purchased.
Caveat emptor.

If you are stupid enuff to spend $250 on that amulet or any item you deserve it.
