This skill was much improved in D2X, where it deals bigger damage | This skill was much improved in D2X, where it deals bigger damage and hits faster if you have IAS equipment, but it has one major bug. When Fending, if a monster triggers one of your dodge/avoid/evade skills (and they usually will, when you're in melee range), every Fend attack in that volley following the hit will miss, but you will be forced to execute the animation anyway. The only known way to fix this bug currently is to simply not put any points into dodge, evade, or avoid. Fend doesn't have a fixed maximum number of hits, unlike Zeal, and if you have 20 monsters swarming you, all in range to stab at, that's how many stabs you'll do. | ||
This and jab are the best skills for physical Spearazons, and one or the other (or both) should be maxed out, just keep in mind Fend's inherent bugginess. | |||
