Exploit - How to increase your DPS by 2k-10k

[Cobra44]

I've known this bug for a while, but never told anyone cos blizzard would fix it. It took them 3 patches before they realized. I'm making this public now since this bug no longer works in 1.05. Enjoy the free dps while it last

P.S. If you have a manticore this will boost your dps by at least 8k minimum

THIS ONLY WORKS FOR 2H RANGED WEAPONS
You must have the following items, anything with +% element modifer
Ex. I used Stone of Jordan and Inna's Favor, the more the merrier
Buy a PURE DPS XBOW with as HIGH DPS AS POSSIBLE (IAS DOESN'T COUNT AS DPS)
I bought a 1540 DPS Blue Xbow for 10m off the AH.

Step 1. UNEQUIP YOUR MAIN BOW(must be less PURE dps than your "pure dps" xbow)
Step 2. UNEQUIP YOUR INNA'S FAVOR, STONE OF JORDAN, ETC
Step 3. EQUIP HIGHER DPS XBOW
Step 4. EQUIP INNA'S FAVOR, STONE OF JORDAN
Step 5. REPLACE PURE DPS XBOW WITH YOUR MAIN BOW
Step 6. ????
Step 7. You'll notice a increase in your DPS depending on the dps of your Main bow.

The reason this works is because inna's favor's factor in its dps the first moment you equip it. So you can still change weapons and and keep the "+elemental dmg" of the previous weapon.

I use a 1487 dps xbow w/ Dex. So this only gives me like 2-3k dps. Not much but it's better than nothing. But for those using a 1050 dps +dbl socket + Dex manticore, you'll notice a HUGE increase in dps(8-10k)

So for those that thought using manticores would gimp your DPS via elemental dmg, you guys are terribly mistaken

It works

I know the answer may seem obvious, but just to clarify .. what if my main bow is better than the pure dps bow? =/

[invoid99]

The idea is to buy a cheap bow/xbow that has high damage, regardless of stats. If you can't afford one better than what you've got, I'm guessing you're poor or have a ****ing awesome bow.
