http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxgqjb1-3q0 mp8 uber farming. 1handers ftw. Skorn is slow mobility and slow to regain mana. Reflect on bears = swap to skorn. for higher mp3s at least. Other then that i do fine in mp7-10 with just 1 hander. Still need to swap 3 more pieces. tal rasha back to zuni with high crit, and uhrpian serpent offhand, and tal rasha chest. And counter argument is easier kiting with higher attack speed. I do agree u need a skorn for rd mobs in higher mp cause u dont' want to throw spiders for 7-9 seconds
till u get cd on ur spirit walk.
So to do 1h/oh properly you need to have a skorn too? That's insane. The point of LS skorn is that you don't need to kite - with 800 AR and decent HP you just sit there and spam bears, they keep you up in hp. Bears work best when you get in the perfect position to toss bear lasers - otherwise you only hit with one out of 3 on small mobs. As a result, leaving that perfect position drops your effective dps by a third. Gearing to kite means you're doing something wrong. It's better to gear to sit in one place with impunity and deal more efficient dps.
Watch the fight with rak/ghom in that video - the reason why he doesn't run out of mana is because he spends most of his time dodging clouds. On mp8 I literally don't move for that fight - just plant against a wall and dump bears with spiders every 4th or 5th cast instead of every 2nd. He also uses the mana rune on BBV instead of slam dance, which is a waste of a huge party buff spell.
