Should I keep trying for cast speed or is crit spell damage bonus good enough?

Also might be a dumb question but does cast speed actually help with damage or is it just to cast more per second (and hence more damage per second)? With plant build I feel like I cast fast enough already so maybe this damage bonus is better?

How dose adorned diamond work. Dose it increase the values of all corrupted jewels?

So let's say I have a adorned with 50 % and I have a sapphire corrupted with 15% CRIT chance. Now the jewel will give 22,5% CRIT chance?

I played at launch as a barb and could not get past act 2 because it's too difficult. I tried again recently as spear class and it feels much better. Did they reduce the difficulty or did I just pick a bad class?

Anyone doing key giveaway? I got a friend that wants to start playing but he's not sure that his pc can run it. So he's reluctant to pay for the game

How do I get another support gem slot on the Skill "Shred"? As it's not a support gem, I can't seem to use a lesser jewelers orb on it.

Since the devs announced they want to try releasing sometime this year, friends of mine who considered buying into EA all decided to wait.

What are people's estimates on it actually happening?

I'm losing more exp in maps and temple runs than I'm gaining. What am I doing wrong?

I have an open hand monk with decent armor and evasion (80% and 60%). I mostly use ice strike out shattering palm but I'm dying... A lot. One single strike of a rare or unique monster goes through my armor and I'm dead. I'm level 65 but it feels like I'm severely underleveled for the maps it temple runs. What can I do to prevent this?
