what? no m8 I'm talking about 3/5 of the zeal attacks as individual strikes

the first strike requiring no FBR to block and the last strike being too slow to require FBR to block

actually its less then 20% block efficiency because its 32% chance to bypass armor but its actually the average chance you have to be hit twice in a row(or 3 times in a row) over 3 attacks

maybe you should take into account that this 1 skill adds 10% eDmg, 18% ar and 20% eDef (30% while concing)
plus that bit of extra armor from sig set is not that small after all bonuses applied
all that at no cost btw...
also a level 18 concer will never socket a rare jewel unless he can find a close to impossible 8-14 one

this being said, years of experience ingame > theory crafting anyday

He only gets 20% armor, not 30%, shout doesnt count because thats why he has a prebuff swap
A 20maxer would do, no need 2k jewel
and yeah 10% dmg and some bonus AR but AR isnt that good unless vs other conc

I would rather have something like 2os 30/20 2dr+(2mdr or 10life or rep(eth))

I lose like...10 stats value (mostly due to the dex from CK) and some defense, and I gain 5rep + up to 4 mixed damage reduction(or rep bones can go up to 74 def, higher with gothic shield) + a good-godly jewel slot worth of stats + tiny better block efficiency, minus like half a really bad jewel stats worth from the lost +skills, plus with CK if enemy has any MDR you reduce your physical damage

TBH I would consider a 20ias flail and bloodfist to hit the same breakpoints while freeing up slot for rare shield+rare belt+ck boots(or 20life 10rep 1dex crafted boots) if your only purpose was to melee vs melee

exactly that. so why are you talking about "up to 4 mods"?


those are the only duels you can win with a conc

as for zealers, they are no trouble at all

well, a 20maxer or a 4modded rare jewel

only if the 4 mods are min, min, max, max with perfect rolls. you do not need anything besides damage here

they do not need 4 perfect mods to beat a magic +20 in average damage

Sexy gear! 10'10

It used to be the poor mans option since 3 zeal 3 conc 5 sock scepters were rare as hell and jewels then were so expensive

I remember they (ladder n4ps) banned it in 18 leagues for a while
