Backstabadin?

[LeegionOnEast]

I noticed that it's effective to teleport behind people, and charge with a small weapon (dagger, small axe) and backstab them. Charge knocks them back every hit, and the damage is decent because of the bonuses. Could this work in PvP. My charger is almost built, with:

Enigma Wire Fleece
Vamp Gaze
IK Boots
IK Gloves
Trang Belt
Angelic Ammy
Angelic Rings

I've been looking for a perfect weapon. Could I use this with HoZ?

Flesh ripper

I was thinking Fleshripper/Razor's Edge with Stormsheild. I think SS has the best block without me putting extra into dex, I'm almost sure I'll even have 75%. What do you guys suggest?

Fleshripper and hoz will give u better block with lower dex but ss has damage reduction. And a backstab will be pretty hard to pull of without fast cast and decent ias

I'm most likely using Fanatism and the IK combo, which gives me something like 70% IAS, plus I can always Shael my Ripper. I like SS so I might stick with that if I can get it easier than HoZ. I don't know how bad the cast will hurt me, I think the Rhyme sheild gives FCR so I might have to use that if it comes down to it.

Last I checked, attack speed doesn't apply with Charge, which is one of the reasons a Liberator (Blessed Hammer/Charge and synergies) works well. All you need is FCR, +skills, and damage effects like CB, DS, OW, etc. which you can usually get on the weapon, itself. With teleport usually on a Thaaretic, anyway, you could pull this off ordinarily, but I'm not sure the backstab principle that exists in AD&D applies to Diablo, else I'm sure we would've heard something of it by now.

I think the attack itself, after the charge, uses the IAS. The movement of the Charge doesn't however.

It's a backstab because the knockback combined with multiple charges never allows the target to turn around. I use Gaze and I'm planning on using the Fleshripper, so it will take time for them to actually turn around. It's beneficial and effective.

I keep getting told different things about charge any1 know for sure if ias effects charge lol.

I experimented, an IAS has no effect. There for I'm not going to put points into Fanaticism, instead they will be in Concentration.

For my sheild, I'm thinking a 4s Sacred Targe with w PDiamonds. If I can find a 45% Targe, that gives me 121 All Resists. Plus the 30 of scrolls gives me 151, so 51 all resists in Hell. Not too bad.
