Remember this is only a proof of concept, or a demonstration in principle with the aim of verifying that the concept or theory has practical potential.
That being said, here is what I threw together in 10 minutes.
Don’t waste your energy worrying about caps on OAs and DAs and resistances. I am well aware the balancing act for getting proper OA/DA and resistances, AND everything for pets borders on nightmarish. Still my hope is for someone to do the absolute best they can with this idea. Even if the best OA/DA you can do is sub-3k, etc., so be it. I’m interested to see how far someone can push it.
Hopefully the aim of the build comes across. I know split damage sources are always a bad thing, but I want a build that let’s me get in melee with my pets supporting. I’m only 800 hours short for being able to quickly look over a build and determine what could/should be changed.
No need to remind me this build is sub-optimal. Only interested in this build’s best possible setup.
lol those greens can stay or go, up to whoever would take on this monumental task.
And I appreciate you stopping by! Wish you’d read more of my post though. I was made fully aware of hybrids and the unlikely chance they’ll work, thanks to a post I made once before where I got drilled by mad_lee on the nature of hybrids. feelsbadman
I get I’m asking a lot when it’s someone’s free time spent on a build that they view as a “steaming pile of dung” to say the least, but that’s what I was hoping for.
I know they’re exclusives, I had both selected as a kinda “choose one” deal for someone with more knowledge. lol sorry about that.
I guess your first point is the whole problem, innit? Well… alright, you’ve given me some good feedback. I’ll come back in a few hundred more hours of game time before I make another silly post. Thanks again and sorry for the time wasting.
I guess what I keep trying to do is play something to the likeness of World of Warcraft’s death knight, being a melee class with pet support. I know hybrids are bad, but is a melee with pet support possible with any class combo?
I have updated my Old Ritualist so that it can be somewhat of a hybrid - your only attacks are Bone Harvest and Reap Spirit, but they are required to use because Guardian of Death’s Gate requires you to use attacks with 100% Weapon Damage to apply the RR.
Ignore the picture, but look at the GrimTools. I just updated it for FG; don’t expect big damage numbers from you, but you’re contributing a non-negligible amount for your pets.
