High Damage Martel 196-297(493) is the highest damage martel on D2R and beyond that i always take min dmg over max damage so i think this martel is superior to a 176-317 which would also be a 493
this next bit i wrote for hours about but ive tried to shorten it so forgive the lack of details that shit was 10 chapters long.
monster flee offers a huge dps boost that doesnt show up on paper frankly you could have a hugeeee damage martel like 320-340 and not hit as hard as monster flee
it only takes me like a few days to get to level 93 the real grind is 93+
monster flee sucks at 1-93
monster flee is the best at 93-99
mfing chaos would work nice targetting seis/fector/vizor/diablo only also
its because 1-93 you need exp from the monsters fleeing, as where 93-99 you only get exp from diablo and could careless about the other monsters
the rate at which you flee is going to amplify that dps boost with the more flee you have honestly when you have less then 100% flee you get alot less dps gains
plus there is only 1 way to really get 100% flee in game which you would need to have it on ur weapon+face of horror which is pretty uncommon i think that a player
is walking around with 100% flee but once you have that 100% flee makes it so everything runs from you so you can really focus your dps on vizor fector seis diablo
face of horror is the best barb helmet in the game prolly by far honestly i dont think its really even close
+20 strength
+10 all resistance
+50% Flee
+50% damage to undead this stat here is very overlooked and is strong
(mart+horror is going to give you 100%damage to undead a pdiad mart would give you 168%)
the other damage to undead methods pretty much suck like heaveny garb or 5-6 socketed p dia items those builds all pretty much suck but the 100-168% method is prolly the best in the game
i can go on for this for hours ima stop here tho if i was to say one last thing it would basically be me sort of hating on trip durability im not a fan at all i think it is not good
my reasonings are because my fastest route sells in act 4 to the repair vender because of this my play is unaffected what so ever by an item with a 5000 durability it just does nothing
for me and i guess while im here even +2 skills on this martel i dont think would be nearly as effective as flee, the flee version simply does way more damage and all other skills generally
get hit by massive diminishing returns
anywho years later and 493dmg is still the highest damage martel ive seen i see this martel have +20more damage then alot of 300 damage marts. i would not take 30k for this martel already turned down a bunch of those offers from a dozzen people
but for me i think this is the best martel for pvp and pvm i dont care about your leach or durability.
forgive me if i dont reply and only report
