How does Deadly Strike, Crushing Blow and Open Wounds work in pvp?

And whats best to have on my Gear?



Im slowly going into LLD since High level PvP is lame and boring af.


Anyone can help me with my Question please?

What build? CB and OW can be ok, but if ranged they're garbage. ranged CB and OW are lowered in dmg. DS is just double dmg, works effective for all phs attacks. OW in general isnt great in LLD tho, more niche. OW is based on char level, so at 18 or even 30 the dmg is lower than HLD by a lot.

Im going for a melee build. Not sure yet if i choose a ww barb fury druid or a zeal or charge Paladin.

I also like zon but not sure if a melee Phys zon in lld (lvl 30) is very good.

Ill decide this later.....



Back to my question .... ds Overall is the best to have on my gear (beside crit hit either from gear like peace rw or from skill tree like amazon).

Thanks for your help

Bowazon is good. ww barb is good but CB/OW/DS hard to get into the build. Fury isnt good, even in melee only, but its do-able. zeal is good in melee vs melee, works ok as zeal/charge vs all. charge is good, can be even better w/ hammers mixed in.

DS is best overall, but really not many items for lvl 30 have it. peace is good on pure charger, other builds not as much.

CB is ok for non ranged, also hard to work into builds.

OW is not great on any build tbh.
