WYRD is a weapon skill that deals 25% to all in a big radius, has a cooldown that can be reduced with soft skillpoints (+to all skills) Dont work on MORPH builds (deathlord, bear dudu, wearwolf, traprat...) as it counts as a ranged skill. To me its like a budget version of disco inferno OS. Has no weapon restrictions, so may be used potentialy on anybody. I know that it good work with javazon. What build may be used with it at best?

It's WDM is impossibly low to make any use of it.. First thought is about spread poison but even 10k damage per second will get reduced to poor 2500. It hitting just 4 times per cast at max and its' cd can't be reduced below 0,2 sec. Any char tree AoE skill would be far alot better than this... worse-than-shit.

Why poison damage would be reduced? I see no problem with a cooldown, its not a big deal. Since your cast time would coincide with a cooldown. I clear all 120 ubers with javazon without curare uberskill, it clears fast with few casts, and you dont need to stack many of it, mobs die fast enough. And its not bosskiller skill, alas.

Because 25% weapon damage including ALL damage sources from weapon: phys, fire,cold,lightning,poison,magic - they're all will hit at just 25% effectiveness.

Not sure what kind of gear/charms/damage you had to clear 120s... but since souls in Dunc have around 30k hp - your default (100% WDM) damage must be more than 10k to deal somehow enough damage..

NO WAY?!!!! You want to say that flat elemental damage would be reduced by 75%?

Back in the day when it was still available as an MO, it was mostly used to spread slow iirc. Now it's hard to justify using it even for that, because you need to get in on a rare ring, and the odds of getting a decent ring with +to wyrd are very low from my experience.

"I 'member-berrie" when Wyrd actually was useful, especially for spreading poison and slow. Dmg removals and especially latest one along with mob hp just made it a useless skill. Well with Krys-gloves you can spread slow.
