Quote:And what is desyncing?
You will notice it fast enough if you use zeal. Sometimes when you zeal you will miss with all 5 attacks, even tho you have 95% chance to hit. The reason for this is that the monster(or you) is not lockated where your screen shows you that it is. So instead of the range between you and monster beeing 1 yard (the reach of bstar) its located 2 yards away (outside your reach). This happens quite often to me, if you have better ping, the problem should appear less often (i've been playing with ~150 ping) but it will happen from time to time.
If you shift + click, any monster within your reach will be attacked. This will reduced the effect of the desync, any monster within your reach will be attack, regardless of what is shown on your screen.
Desync : the data shown on your screen is not the same as the data on the server. (ie not syncronized)
Desync is a powerfull argumen against using both bstar and glimmershred btw. Both have reach 1, getting a weapon with higher reach is much preferable, since with a reach 3 weapon, a desync of up to 2 yards will not be noticed (in my experience most desync is 1-2 yards.)
a nice unique weapon might then be Stormlash, its got 1 - 473 lightning, -10 weapon speed, cb/ias and a very nice reach of 3 yard! (witch is max for a 1 hander i belive) In the worst cases this means 100% more hits
EDIT: about the string of ears. You allready have increased your light res to 90, if you have many points in light res aura i belive this will also increase your max light res. The MDR from string of ears will probably be better than the light absorb from tgods for your build. And you will need both the DR and the LL. Therefore i belive string is a better belt for this particular build.
this is just imo tho, feel free to experiment and report back :D
