My first post - what so ever - at d2jsp
(though a D3 gamer atm)

Regardless,
I'm currently wondering about the possiblity to use dual wield - instead of sword/shield..
Using pure ancient logic - I'd say that using anything but a shield - should be an abhor suggestion - opposed to the traditional build of damage and block.

But, as I've further noticed - people seem to succeed with the dual-wield option, despite the possible zero-block outcome..

With no further a due, I'll address my specific question:

Could dual-wielding be an option towards the wep/shield build?
Why / why not?
(If yes, does it work well in inferno aswell - where the block is most needed?)


I'd like some opinions on this!

Hey folks! I really do not know what to do! I thought that my stats are quite okay and
act 2 ist really easy but in act 3 i cant survive. I managed it to the ghom but he is a wall
for me just like Elites where i die so often!

Can u plz explain to me, what i have to change? I always read those post where people manage to
clear act 3 without dying with a lot lower res and life and even dmg. plz help me:D

I tried to do some dps set-ups but i always die to molten/chained/plugged/mortars and so on
so it seems that the dmg i take comes from elemental dmg. but with 1k res and 50k life
why is that a problem? My dmg is unbuffed so in fight i have 25k and under wrath of berserk i gain 65 k dmg.

I would be really glad to hear some tipps!

best regards

I'd get rid of superstition and go with both armor passives

So how viable is Lifesteal with whirlwind?
I'm running low on armor(~6k) life(~32k) and resists(~700 with shout) and 2100loh with 45k dps with battlerage and get destroyed in act3 while breezing through a2 without dying at all.

But lately I see a ton of lifesteal builds that claim to rush through a3 that ignore loh completely(all whirlwind spec ofc), granted they have way more DPS than me.
Just wondering if those guys tested loh too and could say something about the difference between the 2 builds?
