Prices of LoH Gear Hitting Rock Bottom due to 1.05 Proc Nerfs?

[mephuser1000]

The price of a 1.1k dps, 900 LoH 1-H weapon with a socket is the same as a 1.1k dps, 1-H weapon with a socket but without the LoH.

So the price is actually buying the dps and the socket.

So LoH is no longer useful for farming even mid-end MP Inferno in 1.05 (as so I have heard on the grapevine, like 2k LoH = 200 LoH effective).

Quick reading and it seems like the nerfs only affect barbs? am I missing something?

your grapevine probably ment barbs getting only .2 of the LOH or the example I saw which was yours was 1000 loh becomes 200 loh off tornadoes

Somewhat Monks(never touched this since 1.03) and Wiz?(never played one, so I don't know the mechanics) were mentioned also.

Grapevine just confirmed with a video of PTR that LoH is out of vogue (no longer in fashion), LoH is on par with +Life Gained from Health Globes

What was 85Mil gold in 1.03 now costs 850k gold, whatever that was 850k gold in 1.03 now costs 85Mil gold.

You have to hand it to Blizzard's brilliance for generating $$$ by switching stat weights around every patch.

so what im reading is that the +health globes stuff is going to be super expensive comparitive to the LOH stats in 1.03?

I used the phrase "on par in PTR". +Health Globes will affect Potions in 1.05.

no worries its gonna open you guys up to more powerful specs that cost less gold

What about just high dps 1handers with minimal stats? As it would increase the heal from Rend and Revenge.

I'm talking like 1300+ DPS 1 handers.

Unless Kripparian finds another Barb exploit, opps I mean Build.

No Crit Dmg, No Socket, No Main Stat = $6.50

Wizards should use Lifesteal, not LOH. LOH has diminishing returns after 80k DPS in comparison to LS.
