Game Guide - Skill Calculator and Items

[Treesh]

All skills look to be based on weapon damage now, casters included.

Makes for some nice easy caster scaling!

I was talking with Tal about that this morning. They made Fan of Knives a percentage of weapon damage instead of the flat numbers they had listed in the skill calc. With Blizzard's tendency to have massive bloat in their games in terms of hitpoints and damage, you really do need to have all skills be able to scale or else anything that just does a set amount is going to be really weak very quickly. Although, it seems counter-intuitive to me to have casters scale with weapon damage too, but as long as Blizzard remembers to have high damage caster weapons too, it's all good. Please let them itemize correctly *crosses her fingers*
