I do this as well, great option for reflect packs.


For normal farming though Im stuck on 1h setup since animation is much faster and it still takes the same number of bears for me to kill trash packs, but that varies with dps.


Certain skills benefit a lot more from skorn though like pestilence and harvest which are great "degraders" during high mp farming with enough dps.


Pestilence is also good for pulling packs together since once they take damage they follow you.

Only scrubs use skorn, real men use GG Doom Hammer.
Ty men

Anyone have a build for hc ?

Very few doom hammers beat skorns.

Their just aren't many with the right stats that overall beat skorns, or I would have one and be using it.


Even the one on jsp right now is just too low for my liking at 14xx dmg out of a possible 1600 without speed.

If that perfect one comes around i'll make the switch but i'm just not seeing it.

what is?

I know the skills i would be using, and thats jungle fort spirit vessel, coupled with life link dogs, garg, spirit vessel with jaunt. Probably grave injustice as well and just do low mp speed runs.


Drop jungle after you have enough defense in gear to manage mp0 or 1 w/o coming close.

For you Skorn w/ lifesteal WD's.... jinshin I'm lookin at you here

How do you do against reflect dmg packs? I find that is the only thing that can give me trouble with my current one hand setup (which has lifesteal), so I'd like to try a LS Skorn for a change.

Also gonna try Skorn because right now I have to use Blood Ritual + Spiritual Attunement to keep from going oom. With Skorn I think I can easily change of those passives to something else which would be nice.

TY guys for any input!

Yo, I hated reflect pack with 1h/oh set up. just couldn't deal with it when i was not in the spirit form. just like monks with single lifesteal can't handle reflect on mp10 no matter how much dmg/ehp they have. it's nice that wds have sw to kinda play around the reflects, but yeah it's shitty.

With ls skorn, i can just facetank all reflects. just love it. I always have the frightening aspect on me, so 7k armor helps a lot as well as 5.7% ls.

As for the mana, I have 1.17 aps (WH8/Inna9). And I rarely have problem with mana on mp10. Only the extra health mobs in a full party mp10 run make me oom a bit.

Grave Injustice helps shitload even on mp10. I wanted two slots with pick up radius, so I just got them on WH/Boots since they seemed very cheap.

I want 7-8% more attack speed on the glove later. I think that should be the most I can get with the current skill set up without having mana problem. Any additional attack speed won't help me out imo.

I'm currently re-gearing a few pieces (had +34 pickup radius which was a bit overkill so gonna get some Armor on Zuni's chest and All Res on Witching Hour instead of pickup radius) and I'll still be sitting at 14-21 pickup radius depending on the bracers I use.

After reading your post, I'm definitely going to try a skorn though cause the RD packs piss me off... I can facetank everything else and kill efficiently, but an RD pack shows up and I die or have to kite around them.

Once I'm re-geared we'll have to run WD's together instead of Monks and see how that goes!

Yeah dude! I'm having so much fun with playing WD. lol I really don't want hit plvl 100 with my monk..... so trying not to play him often. I don't know why I'm getting so much exp even though i'm playing like an hour or 2 a day.

But then, when I die 2-3 times in a row with WD, I just leave the game and bring the monk to wreck everything. LOL all my friends in game laugh at me so much for doing that. bahahaha

But yeah man. 34 pick up radius is a bit overkill especially for mp10. haha I guess for speed farming low mp, it makes sense though.

14 feels pretty good. That's all I wanted on my WD.

Hopefully I can roll around +200 more armor roll on either glove or bracer. Shoulder has too much vitality for me to re-craft. I like it as it.

Just want to hit my ehp goal of 4000 armor / 650 all res / 65,000 life with new crafts. It's pretty doable with some better rolls along with 30-40 plvl.

Gearing wise, I think I'm done. Just need to stop being a lazy ass and roll some glove and bracer later. haha probably do it in the next patch.

WDs are awesome! Much more fun than mindless freezers.
