ETA: A friend of mine lost 1/2 of his DPS because he literally stacked every IAS item he could find.
Yeah same goes for me. I went for IAS gear and had every possible item with IAS. I went from 37K dps to 26K.
Still haven't replaced it, don't even know if I will.

In order to progress through Inferno I had to stack IAS for the extra dps but soon after, Blizzard announced they were nerfing it. I already spent around 1-3 million for items w/ IAS on them. I know some people who spent more than 10+ million to get the BIS w/ IAS.

Fair enough...good assessment.

Not until it was too late, I had stacked IAS gear since Nightmare and quit playing for a solid 2 weeks lately.
Spent a ton on IAS gear, now this shite just pisses me off. All my 15% stacks are now 8%.
I guess I could just sell it all and buy Critical Damage gear. Is crit that much more valuable than 8% IAS for DPS?

This game is getting boring.

Had a good run today made 250k in gold and got a couple of 63 rares... imo drop rates are now a little better.

I've noticed much better drops so far through Act 1 and now part of Act 2.

lvl 63 items in act 3 and 4 have been severely nerfed after the patch. It went from being somewhere in the 30 percent range to 8 percent.

the forums on battle.net are more fun to read than the actual game right now

That right there is this game in a nutshell.

Does anybody know how much or what % Crit Damage Chance/Damage does?
I still have all IAS gear and am about to ditch it, I had 37K damage before the nerf, now I have 26K since all my 14/15% attack speed increase is now 7/8%.
But I was wondering if I switch all my IAS gear out for similary good/high Crit Dam Chance/Damage if it would bump me back to around 40K like I was?
I'm about to replace my 70 Intel and 7% IAS ring with a 115 Itel 4% crit chance ring. Probably going to lose some DPS, but I want to start to switch it all out towards Crit % and damage. Damage increase is +50% right now.

Start investing in Crit damage/Crit chance. -- These two stats will boost your DPS the most and the more you invest in it, the faster your DPS will rise. This is because these stats follow a quadratic curve. Think parabola. Don't be discouraged about taking that first step. Everyone else is doing it too. Grabbing 10% will boost your damage by only 5% if you don't have Crit damage items, but once you get crit damage, it can be 10% 20% or even 30% per 10% crit rate.
That is from a post on the blizzard forums. You have to take a leap of faith with crit chance and crit DMV at first because it will look like you are losing mass amounts of damage but as you keep adding both your damage starts going up dramatically.
