Diablo3 class thread

I try not to use IAS stuff/skills because of their conflict with resource consumption. Because Slow Time bubble doesn't actually move, I feel that it would be of little benefit unless you're tanking melee elites/champions because Sleet Storm's AoE is just too small and nasty against stuff that runs. Teleport-Calamity actually sounds like pretty good replacement for Slow Time, so you could probably toss in Evocation or Illusionist to replace Galvanising ward (I'd give up the Regen).

But yeah it sounds like a pretty interesting idea, the damage is good.

Just my 2p.

I haven't really found IAS to be that much of a detriment, definitely not with Energy Twister since it lets you put out more Twisters. Might be more difficult with Sleet Storm, but I chose Slow Time to have a snare that adds damage and has defensive capabilities. There's plenty of other options available that are good though, and if Slow Time doesn't work out, I can default to a Hydra.

Does that affect life steal too? Or is that independent of coefficient? That still seems like something that could be counteracted by a good Barbarian belt, especially if it had whirlwind crit chance or whirlwind reduced fury cost too.

Life Steal % always works at 100% effectiveness.
