I was wondering what are the upgrades u think that are the best for the tradicional W/E aftershock build. I have gotten a +30health grip so far but i am unsure about the haft... zealous, vampiric, sundering wich of these would u advice? My thoughts are on sundering but maybe zealous could help with that mana for the aftershock...not sure

i would really go furious because u need that adrenaline to knock people down

adrenalin is not really a prob since i use beserker stance
my build is: beserker stance, devastating hammer, crushing blow, heavy blow, aftershock, sprint, endure pain, rez sig

in my opinion...

really no point for zealous...
not fast enough to put vamperic into good use
sundering success % are really low... 10%? rather not rely on luck (i sux in luck department... so whatever)
furious is also low %...
I usually put an element so I can switch hammer, example... target monk wear judge's +10 vs physical attack or wanderer's +5 vs elemental attack... I think you know what to do.

Zealous Vampiric or any elemental though conjures aren't very good with hammer.

+5 armor for the grip unless you want +20% enchant length. +30 health is only good if you're using many superior runes since otherwise the armor % increase beats the health % increase and anyway the health won't matter if you never drop below 31 hp.

You definitely want a Heavy Haft. It will make the Weakness from Devastating Hammer last longer. In my build I use Aftershock and Stoning, and since Stoning is also keyed to Weakness, the Heavy Haft is quite good.

Devastating Hammer, Aftershock, Heavy Blow, normal hit, Stoning is an amazing progression. Three knockdowns and lots of damage strung together.

I personally use a Furious of Defense and Ebon of Defense. There is no need for heavy imo, since conditions are usually removed anyway.
