Managing Primary (Str, Dex, Int) and Secondary (Vit, Resist All, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Attack Speed, Weapon Damage, Armor) stats is critical for maximizing your Build. Below are listed the two stat priorities for both max damage and max survivability.
Max DPS
Weapon Damage > [Str, Int, Dex] > Crit Chance >= Crit Damage > Attack Speed
Max Survivability
Resists = Armor > [Str, Int, Dex] = Vitality
DPS Stats Breakdown
Weapon Damage
Increases the damage dealt by skills. Higher top end weapon damage and a smaller damage range will produce stronger attacks.
Min & Max: How much damage each attack will deal.
Weapon Speed: How many times you will attack per second.
Weapon DPS: ((Min Damage + Max Damage) / 2) * Weapon Speed
[Str, Int, Dex]
Multiplier to all damage.
Crit Chance/Damage
Increases the base chance of obtaining a critical hit. Crit Chance is best stacked with Crit Damage at a ratio of 1:8. For example, if you have 10% Crit Chance then you should have +80% Crit Damage. As a note, Crit Damage is much easier to obtain than Crit Chance so you may end up with more Crit Damage than is optimal for your amount of Crit Chance.
Max per gearset: 54% / 450%
# gear slots: 7 / 5
Attack Speed
Increases the frequency of your attacks and reduces the duration of the combat animation for each attack. A faster attack speed produces more attacks in less time and increases your mobility by reducing the time of combat animations.
