[Sword & Shield]

What if you were to make a PVP duel wielder CONC barb. Ive seen this in OPEN Bnet, not that im a SP hacker or anything O_______o.

One of your weapons, which you will attack with JUST has damage, doesnt matter about the rest of the mods, something like eBOTDzerk or Grief zerk.

For your second weapon you can pick out anything that looks cool BUT has 6 available sockets. Say you want another zerk, get a NON ETH 6 socket zerker and put in any combination of Ber/Ums/Guls/Eths/Ohms/Los/Sheals, so that way you attack with one weapon and the other one, basically boosts it.

This is different from frenzy, since with frenzy you attack with both of your weapons, and with whirlwind you would need both weapons to break last whirlwind breakpoint, but with this build you would not, so eBOTD zerk is a viable weapon agian.

The gear would probably look like...

COA ber/ber
eBOTD zerk
Zerk/Phase/CB random assortment with runes
Duress/Fort?
Dungo
Gores
Dracs
angelics

skills...
20 BO
20 Shout
20 Conc
20 Axe(your attacking weapon)
+1 Iron Skin

Any ideas on this?

Weapon mods only apply when that weapon is being swung; they do not carry over to your other weapon. Thus, if you had a weapon in your off hand full of Ums, for example, and you're using concentrate, that weapon would never do anything, since it's never being used. The Um bonuses would not carry over to your main weapon. It's the same thing with every other mod you mentioned.

Ive Tested this in SP, i think

[Halciet]

Check again - weapon bonuses are weapon-specific. The only bonuses that do not follow this are auras. Deadly strike, open wounds, IAS, +damage %, etc, are all weapon-specific. Otherwise it would be ridiculously powerful to have two BotD berserker axes, since each one would have up to 830% damage based on the boost of the other. If you have seen this in SP or on open, it's the result of some hack.

1-10 :D

I don't post so much since we've answered virtually every question, so people can look things up with the search tool. I've been around here for a good three or four years, from my lurker days to now, so I'm old and grouchy ;D

Me too... only recently got an internet connection so have only recently signed up... it's fun answering questions... although maybe make the stickies with some kind of very bright color to attract the attention of incoming noobs:)... Wouldn't like to see 10 :eek:

Well the fun gets less and less if you see the same questions every day , week after week. People hardly ever do alittle research or look into stickies / faqs. It doesn't matter if you make it shine , put a big red arrow above it , tell them they can win $100,- or anything , people just won't read stickies or use the search button.

Ill pretend like your not implying im doing it right now O______o.

Anyway my bad.

I tested it on SP, didnt work... i guess i was under the impression that since ww dual wielders use beast and doom, since they have CB and OW or whatever mods, that it would work with conc.

[Halciet]

Oh, I wasn't implying that towards you, the conversation just broke off in a tangent over my signature.

Common mistake on the weapon mod thing, no worries.
