Diminishing returns and effective HP, there's a point where 1 Vitality becomes worth more than 1 Resist all.
You can swap any armor piece with +vit to fix it actually, had it happen to me a couple days ago.
I might be, depending on their worth. I believe they're worth quite a bit, since there's nothing like them on the AH at all, but I suppose I could be wrong. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. I could build my WD to darts, too. How much would you give for 'em?

Speaking of WD offhands, what kind of stats do people look for in them?
You really need to improve DPS, IMHO. At lv 40 I had like 2-3k DPS on my DH, so if you need to improve on something it should be on your weapon (if you search well you can easily find great weapons at sub 10k). Socketed red gem will change your life.

Is this shiny?
The number one thing is damage because it scales well to attack speed. The only mojos you should be considering are iL63 (snake) because it can roll the highest damage. Ideally you want to be over 240 average (i.e. 105-375 damage would be (105+375)/2 = 240).
After that you want to try to get mana regeneration because you can only get this stat on 3 items (ceremonial knife, helm, and mojo). The more mana regen you can get the better because WD skills scale poorly to attack speed if you don't compensate for regen.
After that I'd target crit%. I think you can roll up to 10% on an off-hand. I don't really see a way to break past 60k dps without either a super high dps 1H or to do a crit%/dmg build.
The rest doesn't really matter. If you can get int, vit, res then great but if not it isn't a huge deal breaker. The most important aspect is getting a high damage mojo and since they can roll something like 28-29 damage at the lowest and 110-400? at the highest there is a lot of variability. Luckily almost nobody is playing WD so other classes have no idea what mojos are valuable and you can easily just pick 1 main stat, set a reasonable buyout (i.e. 1mil) then just start hovering over all snake heads to find ~240 dmg mojos for relatively cheap. I got a 238 one for 500k and I saw a 240 w/ 8% crit earlier for 1m.

hey fellas
gtx 580 / i5-2500k@4.5ghz / 12gb of RAM
I ran the game on release... 100 FPS... easily
now I'm stuttering all over the place and dropping down REAL low.. I've heard that others have had this problem
basically, GAF, who I love dearly, please help me fix this

There aren't an iLevel 63 Mojos/Sources.
And the max damage they can roll is 405.
You can actually pick up mojos and sources pretty cheap if you are willing to put the time in searching the AH. Alot of people don't understand how they work and put them up super cheap.
Tons of people have been complaining on Blizzard's D3 tech support forum that this is happening after the 1.0.2 client patch. Blizzard has been ignoring it so far.hey fellas

edit: can't find the thread now on their forums but basically it was the third+ thread about the issue after the previous 2 maxed out the post count
GIVE AWAY TIME (NORTH AMERICAN SERVERS)
As you can see, this is no simple give away. I've blacked out important stats on each item, meaning that you're going to have to luck out to get the best item! One of these items is worth 500k, while one of these items is like 50k, and some of them I don't even know the value!
If you want to enter, just PM your battle tag and what item you want. If you can't decide, you can always change your mind or have a place holder. Two lucky people is going to get to gamble on free items!
End time is 6PM Mountain Time tomorrow.
Let me re-iterate, that only two people are going to win.
Good luck!
EDIT: You know what, let's make it two people.

Holy cow, thanks for the mojo tips, found one with +max mana, 313 damage, +int and +vit with a socket for under 100,000
And I thought my old mojo was cheap and good

found a mojo with 330ish damage and +6% damage against elites, I wonder how viable it is to change to that one on the fly when needed
Make sure you aren't ignoring the min damage. You really want one with an average of ~240

Its more the rotating between one for elites and one for everything else, but after checking the math its only about a 1600dps increase

So did they announce if the change would be retroactive on items or not?

I saw a good deal on a 775 dps 1h with a socket and 100 str / 100 vit for 850k so i put up my 975 dps + socket 1h with slightly lower att speed for 7m buyout. Definitely taking a big dps hit, about 3k total, but im getting abot 3.7k hp, a ton of armor, and a shitload of money to use on something else that will help my act 3 survivability more. Hope is the right decision lol
Maybe ill use the money to buy a radiant star amethyst for my weapon

If they are retroactive, that's gonna be completely stupid since that'll make the old items x2000 the price.
Isn't it a change of the whole system that calculates your attack speed and dps?
Yesterday evening I found my 2nd legendary and it was a shitty 2H sword with no str and less than 500dps... I don't remember the name but checking AH I saw it went for like 100-200k -_- thanks blizzard

Try what's in the first post here http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5270835538?page=1
It doesn't seem to work for everyone but the game was almost unplayable for me but after this it runs great.

Either wait sets a dangerous percedent in my opinion.
If the patch retroactively changes the old weapons to conform to the new ruleset then it illustrates that it could be dangerous to heavily invest in powerful gear as it can be changed on the whim of developer in a future patch
If old items are not retroactively changed but instead keep their original stats, then you get retardly expensive gear that is fundamentally broken in comparison to newer gear.
I heard discussion of correcting ias in one of two ways.
Either keep the current stats listed on items but change the formula that applies
Or keep the formula they use but cap the value on items to a lower value.
The former has the disadvantage of creating hidden math that the player is unaware of which doesn't fly with their easy to play philosophy the latter has the issue that younhave a ton of items that would potentially have to change
I don't know which side blizzard wanted to implement. Is it the former or latter?

So how much difference does Magic Find have on loot quality?
I've been running around with five stacks of nephalem and like 1 item with ~11% mf (so about 88% total with full stacks).
Have yet to see a legendary or set item on inferno, but my friend who plays an WD with ~200% mf has all ready cashed in on 5 legendaries and 1 set item.
Are you fucked if you don't have MF that high?
Managing on my barb is hard as is :s.

I can get two rares from each elite if I put on MF gear.

Attack speed on weapons is kind of overvalued anyway atm. Unless your build caters to it.
My guess would be that there will be diminishing returns after a certain point, unless they said they wouldn't do that.
I switch to my 250% set when I'm about to bring down a champ or a boss. At 88% MF with NV, you're not even at half of what I'm at without NV.
So yeah, your drops will suffer. You could still get the best items in the game, it's just a lower chance.
