Just a pure stupid impale zon, what produces more damage:


War pike BOTD or Matriarchal Pike with +3 jav BOTD?


Feel like MP should be better but WP seems to hit harder

The damage difference isn't big, but i guess due to critical strike, which i have read but don't know for sure, when triggers, always hits for the maximum damage. Which wp has a bit higher than mp. The +3sk does probably increase damage a little but not as much as the higher max damage on wp.

Thanks for the insight

Although, does critical strike work with impale?

I know deadly strike doesn’t right ?

I've never read about them not working. One way to check is to remove all elemental damage, so you only deal physical damage, and look for that little light flash that occur when critical strike hits. Same with deadly strike.

You need to read more

https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/Impale

they don't work.

So, "Synergy Skills = NONE" right, what about items like Highlords with Deadly Strike... amazon synergy skills are Critical Strike right... where in your amazonbasin link clarify any of this??? It doesn't... get them or get yourself to do more research first.

EDIT: either way... that link ONLY reflects "synergy" skills of the Amazon, not items.

Maybe just try to read the whole page

Critical Strike and Deadly Strike don't apply.

"Synergy Skills" are skills that increase the impale damage/ar/whatever if you add hard point in those, nothing else, impale does not have any.

I read what was linked.

Also, the Impale Zon (D2LoD) is more of a Tankzon build from days of old... 1.09 (1.08) and did NOT use synergies, but hey, wtf do I know right, the game has evolved.

Let me see what was linked again;

Are you blind or plain stupid?



anyway if you play since 2006 and still you don't understand what synergies are, I can't really help you, just stop embarrassing yourself
