Concentration is useless...
I'm pissed to see some comments about the fact that concentration is useless. Especially that it comes from hippies (who was) leveling in inner and who hasn't tested properly how the things work in long term and in warzone.
So i feel like i need to put you in the skin of a 88 conc markswoman in order to make you understand the opposite (im not here to brag about the RP i made, just check the crit hit rate), and no i don't use point shot here, a small group vs group fight near PN2 : Notice on this one how the hit rate drops once eagle eye is down : As you noticed, i can even pay myself the luxury to have DS to 3. The thing is that you'll only see the benefits of conc if you use normal hits - if you do normal hit/skill/normal hit/skill then concentration won't do what you're waiting for, excepted increasing your skill and hit chance rate. I want to point this out not only because what is said is wrong, but because people saying this are dangerous for the overall balance of this game since the NGD's feedback about balance comes from the players. Have fun |

I guess if you invest in a normal hit setup, getting high conc *might* prove useful.
Although if I went for a normal hits setup I would much rather invest into something more reliable than the randomness of the ng3d engine. I would probably go for a slow/30 as well, like you, but instead of investing into getting a high crits/normals ratio i would probably go for a higher hits/time ratio. That would mean using +attack speed items instead of conc items, using Hawk's Gaze instead of any points invested in the conc passive (which would probably allow you to also drop longs to 11 instead, parabolic 3 isnt bad). But that's just me

But well, i'm a "naked" marks with low tricks - as i often say on irc, don't use this kind of setup if you like playing solo because you won't last long That's why i insist on the fact i'm not bragging, i get really pwned on a regular basis - just showing facts. The % of crit hits is quite constant, around 35-50% without point shot, when i used point shot maxed it could go up to 75, but the mana cost is awful. |

Especially for marksman who need to tank out mana for average spells. It saves mana for other things, I already did a similar setup on my barbarian (though not with concentration linked, normal hits) Quote:

This is similar to a thread I made awhile after, just after the concentration improvement, but I can't find it.. I think it might have been deleted.. :F
Anyway, these are the pics I posted: Simply put, Concentration is great.

I tested point shot on mobs with my hunter. 50 with, 50 without. Didn't make any difference...
Maybe different vs players or if Marks...? I've heard the same from others as well.

Eagle eye increases your hit chance dramatically, but concentration points don't - they only increase it a little. So eagle eye is useful, yes. But your original assertion was that concentration was useful. In my opinion (and experience) it isn't, because it increases hit chance only a small amount. |
