Yeah, it's better to stack life on hit on tanks over lifesteal until you get insane godly gear (which most people will take a long time to get to).
That 80% lifesteal reduction is killer in inferno unless you're insanely decked out.

I have been travelling for the past week and plan to do so for the next 6-7 weeks. Needless to say, I don't have any time to play D3. So what is new in D3, guys? Have they implemented the patch to lower costs of crafting and balance out Inferno? How is the RMAH changing things? Updates, opinions, comments, please! I need my D3 fix.

I understand about inferno, but I am still on hell mode so I shouldn't really have that concern. In fact, I was getting by against elite packs just fine through act three except for soul lashers.

Inferno is a whole new game, I facetanked as a wizard until inferno lol. Before then everything else is cake.
quote Naked Snak3That's patch 1.3, which isn't out yet. They did hotfix in enemies do not do additional damage per player (now they only scale in health with bigger parties).I have been travelling for the past week and plan to do so for the next 6-7 weeks.

quote Naked Snak3Some people are currently .. odd enough to buy mediocre weapons for 250 euros. But I think it'll settle down soon, I'm going to guess the good items are going to become about 20-40 euros a piece in the end, with crap items going for 1-5 euros.I have been travelling for the past week and plan to do so for the next 6-7 weeks.

Wow..... that is a huge nerf. Good thing I don't really depend on IAS because I have to kite my entire way through inferno anyway.

quote SpasticIAS helps a lot on kiting, because it speeds up your animations so you can get back to moving faster after using a skill. I never aimed to go all ASPD like other people though, I like it at 2.0: makes kiting with a 2H much easier on fast/fast mobs.Wow..... that is a huge nerf.

I basically relied on attack speed for stunlocking and dps, so this seems kinda bullshit to me. Oh well, gonna have to go for pure damage output and dexterity buffs now.

Attack speed is still as valuable as before, the way they nerf it now just means you can't stack it as easily. It's likely you can favour other stats over attack speed now though since some items will have so little on it.

Attack speed values are so low now, I do not believe it is as valuable as before (literally cut over in half).
It's like I can choose between .3 attack speed or 25%+ crit and 100%+ crit damage for the same slots.
I really wished they would have just added a cap on it instead of reducing the value so much.

tbh i dont care much. attack speed kinda monopolized any item slot it was available on. no attack speed = no deal. might not be so mandatory any more.
isn't the next patch supposed to make the beginning of act 2 inferno easier? i'm really sick of steamrolling act 1, and getting instakilled in act 2.

Inferno is supposed to be easier yes. They said something like if you're rolling act 1 in an offensive build, then you should be able to do act 2 in a defensive build.
There will still be a jump every act.
