I uhh only play the builds with pets.

15

That’s fine mate. Toss 'em in.

16

Any elemental conjurer that uses fissure whirlpool elemental storm. It’s very colorful and fun to actually have aoe on a conjurer.

Sorry maya. Your builds may be better but eye candy and aoe is more fun.

:rofl:

Sounds like makeup to me!

What’s underneath however, is a grim reality you really don’t wanna face :stuck_out_tongue:

No offence intended. Just couldn’t resist making that joke.

I actually did make one like that, but with Ultos added into the mix: The Colourful Penguin - Pet Conjurer

You even commented on it :scorv:

Things have changed, but could easily apply that devo setup (Remove manticore and add Crown) to a Trinkets build and go to town on Aetherials :stuck_out_tongue:

You have so many builds how could I possibly remember them all!

Tuturu

Infiltrator Chillwhisper

PS: yes, it is not Paladin :innocent:

23

@Nery: Glad you like the Warlord, still testing a few things.

My favourite builds:

  1. Bleeding Trickster (my one love; ever changing, will the first to be polished after 1.1.5.0)
  2. Bleeding Druid (the most surprising build, still fun)
  3. Bleeding Witchblade
  4. Bleeding Ritualist

Edit:
Because really few people make Bleeding Builds, I have to mention @Shoot2033 Warder. I would change a few things because I am not nearly the pilot he is, but it´s really fun to play.

24

I’m old and not too agile with skills anymore, but I’ll mention 4 I really liked.

mad_lee’s Sorceress

x1x1x1x2’s Runic Bolt Tactician

Maya’s Sanguine Lupus

afanasenkov26’s Retaliation Warder

from mine - in no particular order:
Soulrend Reaper, as my very first build and the one I’ve spent the most time with;
Vitality FS Defiler - for suddenly working very good and being one of the best defilers ever made;
Spam DB Pyro - for fun gameplay and sturdiness;
Desolator Puri - for tankiness and strength;
2H Corba Trickster - for being still strong and being 1 of 2 my builds that can kill Ravager;
Blazerush Elementalist - for bringing an unpopular concept to life.

from others - @mad_lee’s Valdun and Sorcerer.

@plasmodermic did

I don’t have any specific builds in mind but I love any build with creative damage conversions or using underutilised conduit mods. I also have a soft spot for tri elemental damage.

29

I surprised that you guys like my wanky builds… :rofl:
Thanks for the appreciation!

My favorite build starting from mine:

  • Iskandra’s Elemental TSS Sorceress
  • Chillwhisper Witch Hunter
  • DW Chillheart Bonemonger Infiltrator
  • Stormserpent Lightning Caster Vindicator
  • Bonemonger Obliteration Mage Hunter
  • Rimetongue Blade Trapper Infiltrator

From others:

30

Yeah those are also good and creative.

Finally some recognition. :wink:

31

Though one. I’ll have to generalize a bit.

Shieldbreakers or anything with the following skills at it’s core

  • heart of Wrath
  • Shattering Smash
  • Vire (this is new, i’ve only recently come to really appreciate it beyond it’s mobility convenience)
  • Rata (more melee inclined - Hellborne gets a pass though)

…and Blademasters :slight_smile:

From others it’s even harder.

While I love end game sets for myself, from others, I’m always excited to see either an unexpected well thought out Lego build that somehow works really well or, even some meme build that challenges the imagination and reminds me to think outside the box once in a while.

Oh yes and since they are a minority in GD a shout out to Birbs :bird:
