    posted a message on What stats to look for in a weapon ?
    Thanks man!

    on letter e) yeah im serious lol. sorry to be a noob.

    An example: leys say that i find an axe with 1000dps with a socketed 14-28 damage gem selling in AH for say 1000g then theres a sword with a dps of 950but with a blank socket selling for 900g, I wouldn't know how to compare them. Would the 950dps go up to 1000dps if i socket the same gem?

    What do you look for in a weapon when you look in the auction house? Say a 1-hander or a 2-hander?

    Let's say you found this in AH::

    1-hander
    Rare Sword
    1000 DPS
    600-1100 damage
    1.30 attacks per second
    +200-600 fire damage
    +50% damage
    +100 intelligence
    +100 vitality
    Increases attack speed by 25%
    Critical Hit damage increases by 25%
    3% of damage dealt is converted to life
    Each hit adds +150 life
    Socket: with a +14-28 damage gem

    a) Which of the stats listed above are already included in factoring for the 1000 DPS of the sword? Is the fire damage/+50% damage/+100 intelligence/etc already factored in the dps? Thus we should just ignore them when comparing with other weapons and just look at which has a higher DPS?
    b ) Should we look for a higher top damage if we are looking for a 1hander or 2hander? (the 600-1100 damage part)
    c) Should we get a faster attack per second 1hander / 2hander or should we prefer a slower one? 1.00 attack per second(slower) vs 1.50 attack per second(faster)
    d) In the "200-600 fire damage" stat, does it matter if its fire damage/lightninig/cold/poison/etc ? Which type of damage is best or should we go after? Please rank them.
    e) If a 1000dps sword gets fitted a +14-28 damage socket, around how much will the dps increase?
    f) Which is better? "3% of damage dealt is converted to life" or "Each hit adds +150 life"?
    g) In "3% of damage dealt is converted to life", does this include the damage of your Hydra? your familiar? your follower?
    h) In "Each hit adds +150 life", does this include all the enemies hit by the blizzard as multiple hits and they get hit again every x seconds they are under the blizzard? If an elite is standing in your venom (venom hydra), does he get 1 hit only until he goes out then goes back in your venom pool? Or does he get 1 hit every second he stands in the pool?

    Sorry for the long post. If there is something else that I'm missing, please add them here.

    Thanks.
