Tools are deadly in 1.6
The changes of tools (wands\torques\totems) in 1.6 are great for me, except for the damage part. Wand of conjuration has 800 max base dam while others have 700 max base dam, which cound be further increased by egos, eg. supercharged and overpowered. It also benifits from damage bonus AND IT CRITS. It is now extremely deadly when generated in rogue class monster since they can (secretly hit you and) autocrit by stealth or take advantage of high crit mult from shadowstrike, and other classes with high crit mult is less but still very dangerous. Moreover, silence/pin/disarm/confuse/... cannot reduce the dam of tools or prevent it, making it hard to counter. Should it get nerfed, eg. cannot crit?
