Anyone else starting to weigh strength >> vit maybe 1.3:1? Pre 1.03 this obv wasn't the case but is this the consensus or are you guys still 1 str = 1 vit on a piece of gear?

I'm also thinking about just mass stacking str res all and armor, going with tough as nails and using this base as my pvp build.

str/loh/atckspd/crit seems to be pretty viable now given decent res

Limidonk: I definitely think 1 str is better than 1 vit, but I'm not exactly sure how'd I rate them. Maybe something like 1.2-1.3x on gear? Obviously also dependent on character stats, but as a general rule I'd weight it somewhere around that.

But on the other hand, I don't think there's need to go much above 1000 vit, while you'd definitely want closer to 2000 str. So the more geared you are, the better str gets over vit.

Would be interesting to hear how others see it.

Str is much more valuable in my eyes, I have been running almost 2:1 for a long time.

Does anyone know how high I need to get my crit chance in order to keep WW/WotB going?

damn, if they weren't nerfing MF switching I'd want to bid on that. My chest has MF though so I can't justify that kind of investment.

Sick chest though

Picked up champion's harvest by accident today for cheap. Which should I keep as my primary? Foe Scar gives me 6k life, 3.5k dps, and the added armor from the strength. Obviously this is somewhat of a tossup so which would work better for a pvp setup?

I'm doing a crit build with life regeneration and lots of damage mitigation via +armor and high res all on everything.

I agree about no MF I wouldn't buy an upgrade without it.

I can't imagine blizzard changing the current setup so much that non-magic find gear loses very much value. More than likely they will implement some kind of hard cap, either that or I'm going to lose a fortune

At the very least, non-mf gear holds a lot of value once pvp is in

So I'm just starting act3 on hell and I was dying quite a bit during act2 so I figured I needed to get my armor/allres up and I got this for 12k, that was a pretty good price right?

I've not been using the ah too much, basically just upgrading my 1h/shield but it's getting harder to survive just doing that so I've been trying to get into the ah now. Also switched from ruthless/wm/superstition to healthglobe/vitality=armor/superstition. Hoping to survive more this time around.

Oh and one more thing that's been bugging me, after my normal playthrough I've only gotten a single rare from any of the boss fights, is that normal or am I running bad?
