> I also am a bit annoyed at the fact that Blizzard didn't enable all the runewords in Singleplayer, since they are probably the ones that need the most help with gear ;-)
That pretty much summed up my feelings on it as well. One of the main reasons why I pretty much quit vanilla D2\LoD, and now only play mostly mods like Nobbies, or just using the runes.txt files to have the runewords activated, but play offline. It might not have been intentional, but I don't like the way bliz treated SP mode in 1.10, or for that matter players who enjoys soloing.
But enough of my bile. Good luck on your Concentrator, you definitely have more tenacity than I do. My last Concentrator was retired at clvl 34. But reading your plans did get me firing up my Double Swing barb again.
Speaking of weapons, in case someone hasn't mentioned it already. "Crescent Moon", for axes, swords, and polearms, Shael + Um + Tir, might be of interest to you later on. The Um is a bit pricy, but if you got the patience to build a high level Concentrator, then cubing up an Um rune is probably not out of the question either.
