In the expansion they can be found in Acts 4-5 Normal and all of Nightmare and Hell. a 3 sword = a 3 spear = a 3 hammer.Įxceptional items can only be found in Nightmare and Hell in Diablo 2.

The Barbarian is the expert in polearms, and his masteries skills tree includes a Polearm Mastery skill. Wielding such a weapon requires great strength, skill, and the use of both hands. The polearm can easily strike beyond the range of even the largest swords and axes. They are improved somewhat at higher levels in the expansion, however.

They aren’t even that good for Barbarians to use with Whirlwind, as they have much lower damage than the top blunts or spears. In Diablo 2, polearms are unpopular due to their relatively low damage and slow swing speed. Diablo 2 Polearms are, along with Spears, the largest weapons in the game with the most reach.
