And a few added observations.

You claim 'Find Potion' is not useful in Battle.

Au contraire, mon frer! :D

Find Potion and Find Item (and Grim WArd) are useful in battle when facing reviving packs. Kill a monster and then FP or FI it and the Unraveler or Shaman cannot raise it to attack you in the rear. :)

Taunt: Great against Abyss Knights, they don't cast if you Taunt them, but you might want to point out it does NOT influence Oblivion Knights in Act IV. The critical advantage of this skill is its abililty to neutralize any spell caster or missile shooter. Wont work against champions or bosses, thought. Might want to spell that out as well.

Stun: No duration reduction in diffs. Stuns everything but act bosses, or can. Nice partner to Berserk and Concentrate for little to no mana. Con: Only works on one monster at a time. If you Stun / Bererk with left right mouse button, the lack of DR in Berserk can be overcome. (Warcry is nicer for crowd control, though. :))

Leap Attack: A nice boss killer when maxed. Even with 50% reduction, it does nice damage and has a nice AR boots. You need not attack from across the screen. From shorter range, it does not tend to cause the desynch problems.

Note: you cant drink while Leap Attacking, same as WW, and may want to put that in the skill discussion versus down at the bottom of odds and ends. :)

Pretty comprehensive guide. Nice work.

Dual Bloodletters is hardly sub par items. :)
