Hey y'all,

What are the best skills to proc "on striking" with ?
iirc, there was a Proc-sin build at on point in space & time - It's a shame ATMG Trap doesnt work here... I could imagine, Fortress / Guard tower Barb hits A LOT, but maybe there's something better with a more useful skilltree, better item choices etc. I feel, many strong procs are using "on melee attack" but i'm not sure if there is a melee attack that can hit for as many times as some of the ranged skills. Also, what would be the most powerful proc's to use?

I just want to see my screen go Brrrr :mrgreen:

Any help would be highly appreciated

whirlwind is the go-to skill for procs IMO. You can get 2fpa (12 hits epr second) melee hits, and since melee procs have way higher chance than on striking you'll proc more often. for eye candy you have the dual

claw tornado has a good proc chance but the skill iteslf has high ND so it doesn't hit very often, maybe once per enemy.

Strength Beyond Strength is a spell proc. It scales with spell dmg, pierce, and sf.

in 2017 mxl i made a build based om procs on striking mechanic and its core item RAZORSPINE which procs spike nova when you get hit by missle or atack, not a spell, that proc triggers another procs on kill and on striking, but the thing is that you need tanky character with good liferegen (paladin, beardruid, barb...) Build main part was that you get as tanky as you can and stand still in a swarm of mobs, they hit you and dies from those procs. Also need high AR and lifesteel

Can you suggest some viable build/builds working with as many 'on striking procs' as possbile?
Can barb make use of 'on striking procs' from both weapons if he's dual wielding?
