[Diablo 3] In anticipation of May 15...

Slow attack speed is fine, as long as your build isn't reliant on spamming a signature spell.
ApharmdB:
1.00 is fine if you're relying on cast and forget spells like Blizzard and Hydra. But to make Magic Missile's mana recovery work and boost the Arcane Orb spam, you need much better attack speed. I'm using a 1.62 attacks per second sword (it has some IAS on it) together with some other IAS gear. It really helps feed the arcane orb spam, which in turn helps slow down mobs with that passive, and makes it slightly easier to kite champion packs and kill them.
Helepolis:
Which Arcane Orb rune are you using? The obliteration (dmg inc) one or the nova that increases the aoe blast radius?
ApharmdB:
The one that reduces its mana cost to 20, allowing me to spam it 6 or 7 times in a row :D
Helepolis:
What passives? Arcane presence I found useful due to the life orbs. But the other two I got cold dmg increase and glass cannon.
