Depends on your crit chance, current critical damage, and regular damage.
But in simple terms, if you have a high crit chance (15+) - then the answer is "a lot"

Okay, for some reason I thought the proc coefficient also affected how many crits you get. I was worried that 1/2 proc = 1/2 the amount of crits. Now I'm relieved. Thanks. I don't have LOH yet anyway, and my AP on crit is at 30 AP, which means it's maxed out, which means it's already plenty enough.

Same here. My Barb is in the high 30s, my DH is partway through act 1 of inferno. I'm sort of thinking about going back to the barb but unsure.
Well for me the biggest issue was the gear check that Inferno is. I hit a wall where I couldn't progress any further because I needed better gear. But I couldn't buy said gear from the AH because I didn't have the gold, and it was going to take FAR too long to farm said gold due to me dying all the time to inferno champion packs. Like a ridiculous amount of time to farm the gold. But I also couldn't just play to farm for items either because I simply could not afford to put any MF% into my gear (my gear was subpar as it was already). That coupled with the fact of horrible item drops to begin with, I quickly realized that farming for gold and buying from the AH was my best alternative, and it was a terrible one.
Paragon levels will do a LOT to remedy this. Now I can earn more MF and GF completely independent of gear. So I can focus on just getting gear that improves my abilities to allow me to progress further and not worry about MF or GF because my Paragon level and Neph Valor should be enough. And repair costs going down will help tremendously with my gold farming for the AH. Repair costs were literally killing my fun factor. That might mean I'm an average player who can't stay alive in Inferno, but I accept that, lol.
Basically I'm a casual player who needed the game dumbed down a bit in order to have fun playing it, and thankfully Blizzard is obliging.
Geez. That's me in a nutshell.
Actually, that's everyone I know who plays this game, in a nutshell. This patch will really go a long towards adding longevity for the more casual crowd.
I'm actually looking forward to inferno act III now!
Something like this maybe?:
30% = 0.3
(0.3 / Current Crit Damage)*Critical Hit Chance
Example:
Current Crit Damage: 230% = 2.3
Critical Hit Chance: 25% = 0.25
+30% critical hit damage would then add:
(0.3 / 2.3)*0.25 = 0.033 = +3.3% to your dps.
This is for a basic attack without skill use that changes any of the above percentages.
I have the same issuedamn, now I've gotta decide if I wanna maxout my DH or my Barb. Goddammit
I'm leaning towards Barb even though DH was my first. Barb has honestly been much easier to progress as and I can farm Act 2 relatively easy.

both my DH and barb have like 12k elite kills each lol. I really do enjoy playing them both, but these paragon levels, man. Gotta max dat shit. Fuck it, probably gonna keep playing barb for the time being.
Servers are still down, in North America at least. Won't be up for a few hours in Blizzard time. So I'd expect to be able to play anywhere from 10 minutes to 6 hours from now.

Yeah, sometimes that shit is up early - I wish they sent out a mass text or some shit when that happens - I have the day off, but tonight going over to the girlfriends place.
Yes, but haven't they already came out and stated they don't expect the game to be balanced for PvP? Especially to the lvl of a SC or such.

one of a zillion changes that make this game better, even though that one doesn't bug me. Hours awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I loaded up on a lot of Pickup Range gear, also all resist, and HP. Zombie dogs from deaths (effected by pickup range), and reduced recast per kill. I hope WD takes the spot of my spin barb for farming. I'd rather the pet class be my farm class. Then I could sell all my barb stuff.
Please be great WD! Gear I threw together last night. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Ploid-1179/hero/820231 I'm probably going to sell my CM tanky wizard stuff too. With this paragon stuff I should start focusing on one class. I have too much Mana Regen probably, especially since I doubt I'll be using big MP spells.

I mean, in theory it was an interesting affix. In practice it just sucked, especially with the damage output of mobs in Inferno.
I don't know why they didn't just reverse it. Invulnerable elite with killable minions. His shield drops when the minions die.
-Pyromaniac-

Yeah. When an elite pack has shielding as an affix. Only one of them can be shielded at a time. And when there is only one of them left I believe he cannot be shielded. 100% sure about the first part, only 70% sure about the second, would have to re-check.

That was well said and pretty much explains me in D3.

That's going to make those packs so much easier to deal with. The snakes in the Vault can be a bit of pain because half the time they are invisible and then when they phase in, they have shields.

I guess I'll do a quick farming session with my WD and see how the changes are

The new animations for enemy attacks and other things are nice touches that make a good difference.
edit: uhh those gloves are more than nothing special I'd say.

Still nothing on Europe.... why o why.
Undercore GAF reassemble!
I'll hop on tonight for an hour or so to give my old Monk a whirl.
%life does help a bit.
Which would be 450% over two seconds. Unless you mean it's only returning 225% damage (112.5%/second). I'd guess more of an erroneous tooltip than anything else unless the in-game damage numbers aren't right.
