Trident - what do you think ?

[Ohlmann]

Hello. I am currently farming act I/II with Deadly reach (because of plagued mob mainly). I often use the classical foresight and keen eye, but the more I play, the more I end up using Trident because with it I feel both killing stuff faster and dying less. I don't see any technical reason for which this skill would be that useful, can you help either understanding what is helpful or what fool me ? (sorry if the formatting end up being a big blob. For unknown reason the forum mangle new lines one half of the time when I post)

Trident strikes wider area which makes it deal more damage to group of mobs and making you less likely to be surrounded by them.

I wonder if Trident gives you more life on hit...

2nd and 3rd hit of trident gives a lower return ratio.

Isn't it a lower return ratio per mob, meaning if you hit enough thing you get even ? (honestly don't know)

[iESCAPISM]

Yes, if you hit enough things it evens out.

That would be what's in the sticky

Feel free to let me know if something needs to be added there, but the loh sheet is in there.

Have you tried using cyclone strike to move them out of poison puddles? That's how I roll those desecrators/poison/etc mobs. Just cylcone em where I want to fight them. Also works great on mobs that cast or swing.

Yes, but cyclone strike take another ability slot.

Right Now, I tend to use trident when I am alone, because it proc LLH and crit proc quite handily while being a lot easier to position right than, say, WoHF. I would now classify this rune in the same category as "Perseverance", useful benefit but not calculable.
