Reduced armor per hit is also best with attack speed, and there are lots of things which help ignore armor like berserker skills and claws. As for AoE, most of it comes from skills anyway. | ||

I think it would also be much easier to balance this way, so this is likely by design and not a bug, but the gem description should be updated to reflect this.Is there any point to going 2-handed instead of dual wielding or 1h+shield? Seems like flat damage bonuses are so common in this game, which work best with fast weapons for DPS. | ||

Dual-wielding doesn't stack the damage of the two weapons, so unless you have some sick bonus to dual wielding buffs and only bad 2-handed weapons, 2-handed dps > dual-wield dps. | ||

That said, 100% execute chance is pretty easy to get. On September 25 2012 21:37 BlitzerSC wrote: So, my stash is completly full on gem. What should I do with them ?

Personally I used a bunch of my gems to punch sockets into uniques/sets I'm saving for other characters. It used up the vast majority of my low level gems. | ||

I tested it, flat damage gems get calculated with attack speed into weapon DPS. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GdQK0.jpg) | ||

While this is true, I assumed that it takes the range displayed from your character screen (which is much larger for two handed weapons even if they have the same dps as one handed). I will test it later when I have time. | ||

Enchants may work differently, but this is very easy to test if you come across a multisocket claw. You can get an absurd weapon very easily since the gems scale off attack speed. | ||

I'm so torn on where to put my stat and skill points, though, and I don't really know what kind of weapons I should be aiming for. I've been pumping strength and dexterity, but at level 11, I have 6 unspent skill points that I keep allocating and then refunding, and then allocating again. I just want to kill stuff. Also, what kind of weapons should I be using? I've been running with claw weapons, but I feel like I do so little damage =\ | ||

The rapid attack rate synergizes so well with some of berserkers passives, namely the armor shred/steal. You can put one point into Eviscerate to deal with the lack of AoE. Just remember that you're attacking twice a second when you think about how little your hits are  I don't think Dexterity is worthwhile as a berserker either, but if you forego it completely then you cannot use claws until you reach the level requirement as they all seem to require STR and DEX. I'm dumping everything into STR personally, although I think I might need some focus eventually as all the legendary weapons seem to do elemental damage. | ||
