I’ve heard some people say that the +% to damage isnt that great of a stat. Dunno how true that really is. PLaying a CL Sorc and using Esu’s Boots. Current MS bonus is 125% would go to 145%. The loss of %damage goes from attack power of 15,569 to 14,414.
Got a new amulet that for all intents and purposes would be even except for me gaining 14% movement speed and a +1 to defense skills while losing +14% to damage. I tried up to 10 million to reroll this thing to get me to +2 Dev blaze and it just will not happen. So:
Amulet 1: 6% Int, 21% movement speed, +3 to defensive skills, +2 Dev Blaze
Amulet 2: 6% Int, 14.4% damage, +2 defensive skills, +2 Dev Blaze
I always go with movement speed but it’s just my preference. Plodding along all slow and dopey is annoying and being fast can be defensive and a great offense.
If esu boots, then absolutely movespeed becomes an efficient choice. The onus is on you to make up the difference in crit damage elsewhere.
Low key tho anything less than 150 move speed is unacceptable so i always go movespeed on neck/boots, lol.
As a side, be careful when using the atrack power as a metric; its doesnt take everything that applies to your dps into account. I get a better idea of spec changes by just hitting the dummy a bit.

Ok. It sounds like you prefer neither. But I guess if you’re saying that +dmg is almost never noticeable it probably makes sense to stay with MS like the others suggested because I am using Esu’s boots.
+% to dmg rolls are additive not multiplicative so it’s a very minor overall DPS increase. Meanwhile +% to movement speed can only roll on amulets and boots so it takes priority on both items because you can’t get it anywhere else. It also synergizes very well with the unique affix on the Esu boots. It’s a no brainer in my opinion.
I would go for Amulet #1 and reroll the int% to CDR if possible.

Heres my reading glasses build: Try hydra x2 and blizzard with the longer duration; flame shield and blizzard as enchants. Use frostguard aspect, mage lords + vyres, shako, xfals. Grab the ‘25% more vague effects to enchants’ legendary node on enchant master paragon board and every single health node on all paragon boards.
Find something you wanna read?
cast two hydras, throw down blizzard, and read that wheel of time book series, i heard its pretty good if you have time.

My two cents: what is your current strike chance? As a BL, my current crit strike chance was at 100% after using evade. And im assuming yours was similar. I believe my BL build was mostly the boiler plate maxroll build.
So having my crit strike chance to be 105% via speed on amulet was a waste. So if you already are at 100% crit strike chance, dont go with movement speed on amulet.
In PVP with occulus as a BL, i never walk around so just having speed alone on ammy is not helpful. I was either standing still or tp’ing in PVP.
For dungeon runs where speed is important and damage is less of a factor, i swap gear: boots with speed and ammy with speed.

These are raw damage that scales everything.
