I think the impression of it being slow is mostly psychological, because when you hit only one enemy at a time it looks so lacking in comparison with all the crazy Zeal/Frenzy attack speed, or the AoE of Whirlwind.įinally, as for gear, I'd recommend looking at the Immortal King. Well, bottom line is, Conc with a 2H weapon shouldn't be that much slower than most other melee builds, and killing one enemy at a time isn't necessarily a bad thing. Then again, when you hit an enemy they might flinch, interrupting their attack animations. So if you're facing, say, 5 enemies, it's better to kill one enemy per second over 5 seconds rather than spending the same 5 seconds spreading your damage equally between them, finally killing them all simultaneously on the 5th second. Dead enemies do no damage, enemies with even 1 health still left do damage. when calling Zeal a "crowd control skill") it is better to kill enemies one at a time rather than spreading the damage between them with skills like Zeal or Whirlwind. So keep in mind when comparing damage bonuses that, for example, you'll be using Frenzy with the Berserker Axe(47.5dmg, 0 speed factor) but Concentrate with Glorious Axe(92dmg, 10 speed factor) I don't actually know if Glorious Axe is best 2H weapon to use, just giving it as an example of the difference in base damage which will then be subject to all these bonuses.įinally, and this is something most Diablo 2 players seems to misunderstand(i.e. The crowd control option.įurthermore, because Concentrate boosts your defense through the roof, and because it's uninterruptible, it's a prime choice for using two-handed weapon with. On the other hand, Frenzy requires you to use two weapons, so no blocking, and of course it has no defensive bonus on its own. Of course, Frenzy also increase your attack speed. I'm not including masteries since it would add to all skills equally. I wonder about that? Level 20 Concentrate with level 20 Battle Orders will net you +365% damage per attack.
