Diablo IV

I'm running into an odd issue with auto-select, and I'm not quite sure what all it takes into account.

I usually main a two-handed sword, as I found a level 809 one relatively early on and it's been my best weapon by far for forever and a day.

I recently found a level 784 two-handed mace, and auto select is trying to prefer it over the sword.

Looking at the stats, I show that the sword is 2624 DPS, and the mace is 2379, but my stats block shows my Slashing Weapon Damage as 2624 and my Bludgeoning Weapon Damage as 2644. I've double- and triple-checked, and I don't have anything giving +% Bludgeoning or Two-Handed Bludgeoning weapon damage, and the min-max range listed in the tooltip when I hover over the Bludgeoning Weapon Damage is the same as the min-max range on the weapon.

I can't figure out why this number is different. It impacts my build, because I have a fully maxed Seething glyph on my Paragon board giving me +65% damage to with swords, so I figure that forcing it to use the sword is my best bet, but I'd still really like to know what's going on with the calculation that's causing auto-select to prefer what is to all appearances a weaker weapon.

Any insight this fine community could provide would be greatly appreciated!

My game crashes VERY frequently. I can't run any dungeons solo, because I will almost certainly crash while doing it, thereby losing my progress.

I'm just trying to finish the thing, and not being able to grind reliably is killing my enjoyment of this game.

It doesn't happen predictably, and doesn't happen when I'm doing any specific thing in particular.

Not even able to guess based on time passed. Sometimes I can come back and rejoin my party and instant crash, every now and then I can get over an hour.

It's not a hardware problem or driver problem.

I don't even know what else to do about it. I had been hearing others had the problem, but that quieted down a few patches ago. It never got better for me. This has persisted since I got the game about a week or so after launch.

Is it really just me now? I really want to make some progress, but side quests and cellars can only help so much and I don't always have friends on. Playing a dungeon over and over in hopes it won't crash this time is extremely frustrating. Can make it through maybe 1 out of 3 times.

Even if it was just once out of ten it would be too much to want to keep trying.

Rather than pile on the patch negativity let's get some season discussion going!

What class are you going to roll for the new season? What build?

I am debating between Bone Spear Necro or Barrage Rogue, but leaning toward the Necro. Played Pulverize Druid in the eternal realm and it's fine but wanted to try something else.

What about everyone else?

I made a Druid for my first character and have been having trouble landing on a leveling build. Then I noticed the passive "Bad Omen", and that you can make all the other lightning themed skills add at least one of the needed status effects to Lucky Strike some random lightning bolts.

Now I'm in the zone and really enjoying Diablo 4. The nostalgia fix doesn't hurt either!
