Emeralds will not help DPS, they will add chd%. Ruby's for dps

You meant weapon damage, but true. Their contribution is mostly negligible for weapon damage considering the 6 2325 maximum damage rolls that might otherwise be on the weapon, and you'll want to get the CHD from somewhere, but that's a separate matter.

Indeed so. The 5APS from the developer fast item is all you want. You want no more plus APS or plus A% than that.

I actually made a strafe DH for fun recently, and had this realization that the 20% AS on quivers was a waste. So I actually have a shield, because the 2K armor actually does something.
