yes i started as splinters/bears, but it didnt really work for me after act1.
in act3 i die on most bosses in single player.
thing is, if i switch to a 2 hander, i lose 8,5 cc from off hand. then i need to get a new ring, helmet and probably amulett, which is why i havent done it yet.


I see then find a one handed with hi dps and life steal , but plz guys doent forget soul harvest/spirit walk will do some good dmg for you as well.

tip * you can pop spirit walk and run in to group and run threw each targ multiple times , then pop soul harvest , act 1-2 they should all die before you use ne other skill ,lol , in act 3 ull take a chunk outa them

I have a bid on a nice 2hander, i hope i get it.

thx for sharing your bild

i see monster ''ignoring'' your Gargantuan, and hunting your WD

wd life 41.1k

1.03 Gargantuan = ~31500 life (googled it!)
1.04 Gargantuan = ~31500 life+ 50%*41.1k life = 52.05k life

i think, if you buf your life bye (52.05-41.1)*2 = 21.9k (63k total wd life)
then your life > Gargantuan, and monsters start see your Gargantuan as main target

or
if take zombie dogs instead of Gargantuan, then
41.1*0.35+10k = 24.4k zombie dog life
and zombie dogs is already main target
makes your wd be alot safer

but ofc, video looks verry great already!

but not 100% sure about it m8, just was trying to help



Thanks for that useful info :)

Interesting , i replaced the voodoo skill with mass confuse/reduce to 45 sec , since the dps bursts are very hi , and ran threw act 4 to test it using my 2 hander ,might work for you if having trouble with cc !!

Is having a high life steal a viable means of tanking? when ever I hit the math doesnt seem to add up for how much life I am actually stealing. What I mean is that with 6% of damage dealt returned as life it doesnt add up for me. Ecpecially when i'm using ZB and hitting 4+ monsters at 100k+ damage. I should be getting at least .06 x 100,000 x 4 health but it seems no where close to 24,000 life even for just 1 attack.

Someone help me out.

Horrify - Frightening Aspect > Mass Confusion

IMO, in every way possible :P

Im pretty sure that life steal is scaled down to 20% in inferno so assume you spam zombie bear do 236% weapon damage per mob, dps of 100k for each mob you gain 100,000 * 236% * 6% * 20% = 2,832 life per second

This makes sense. Thanks.

that bothers me though :/ especially because zombie bears dont gain LoH with the other leech options available.

It bothers me as well , nerfing the main skills loh , but as you can see they opened up the dps, so other builds can use the 2handers ..I personally use 2hand great stats/ life steal
