Frenzy and WW hybrid?

I like WW, but it's also fun to just stand there and whack away. I don't particularly like the skill frenzy (it gets too speedy for me), but it's so much better than double swing in terms of extra attack speed and damage

Anyways, I was thinking of doing a Frenzy/WW hybrid. I'm just giving up a max Shout, which since I have crappy eq anyways it doesn't help much. Also, when I had pure WWer before, I find myself using conc or berserk sometimes when WW is not efficient or hard to do (single targets, tight areas), which Frenzy will now take care of.

Anyone tried this hybrid can provide comments? Thanks.

well, i have a conc/ww hybrid and i think he works just fine. Never tryed the frenzy/ww mix. Could be nice. But, as far as I heard, the experts would not recommend hybrids at all... They say u should max only ONE attack and sinergies. Maybe they are right...

i'm pretty sure i was the bvc that pioneered the ww/frenzy hybrid build while the other bvcs blobs, malice and mcm sticked with plain old ww/zerk.

In my experience frenzy was quite useful and fun to use. it's very good for starting a long range tele lock also good for casting life tap on charactors with summons since it's a fast striking skill. Also you can combine it with tele to use it like tele zerk, once it's charged up most enemies won't be able to escape. Also you can just charge it up on monsters or summons then name lock people and believe or not the desynch it causes will surprise a lot of people. You'll be surpirsed how many people i've killed with just a frenzy lock. and it's actually very useful against bowzon, it keeps them from shooting at you and eventually you'll catch up. if you are having trouble with tele wwing them you can try to frenzy lock them.

It's also very effective against town hugger, you can charge it up on people who are still in town and sometimes town huggers think they won't get hit when you are swinging your axes at thin air but as soon as they come out bam.

Personally i think 1 point in frenzy enough and it'll reach about the same damage as your ww and probably slightly higher.

well I'm happily hacking away with my double swing and finally I reached level 24, when i put in my point for frenzy. It seems like frenzy is *slower* than my double swing? what gives? Both are level 2 with my +1 skill, and it seems double swing is faster, even after I've been frenzying for a while against multiple monsters...

double swing is faster, espeicially intially before frenzy charges up. But it gives less damage and doesn't give you a run speed boost you'll almost find no real use for it except for messing around. Also another good thing is after you charge up your frenzy the attack speed of all your swing attacks will become faster too. Meaning you'll be able to zerk people like crazy once you get frenzy charged up.

Sigh, now I remember why I didnt like Frenzy. What I really want is double swing's immediate speed, with frenzy's +attack and +dmg and without the fast running. Time to retire this puppy. Thanks all for ur info.
