Heya, been crafting some builds based on some drops, kindly let me know what you guys think. (I’m sorry if it’s already posted and blah-I-dun-wanna-look-through-posts-blah) All of these are put together with no rares, since I’m one of those goons who turns rares showing up off. >_>; (Too much to look through IMO) While I do not have ALL the gear shown, I either have enough to make it work currently or just like having little ‘goals’ to look forward to.
Chaos Melee Witchblade http://www.grimtools.com/calc/4NOYKvXV
This guy is probably my favorite self made currently. Farming faction, may make him my main.
Elemental Ranged Purifier http://www.grimtools.com/calc/O2GWRkj2
The health on this one seems lower than I feel comfortable with, but the DPS is fun. And colorful.
A Risky Life-leech Cabalist http://www.grimtools.com/calc/M2gaz4KZ
I have yet to test. I’m concerned about general survivor-ability due to low armor/defense as this would be in melee. I really like Soul Siphon, was this build’s main focus.
Phantasmal Blades Reaper http://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNYP0EAZ
I have yet to test. I’m probably the most hesitant with this one, hence it’s not ‘fully planned out’. Aside from wondering about energy consumption (my last PB ate through energy) my selected off hand makes me wonder if I should go with something else with that Vit. to Cold convert. =s
Reaper :
Amazing idea you got there. Why do you worry about mana consumption? You are not going to spam PB right ? 3s CD ?. I think it can really be awesome
> I agree the off hand makes you do a tough choice. Half of your %Vitality damage are useless because damage is converted to cold. Why don’t you focus more around cold as a main dmg source ? You could max out the sick Night’s veil skill.
> Regarding skills : do you really need blade barrier maxed out ? Is the health regen really worth that much points ? I would max shadow dance instead to avoid a bit of damage
> Redarding devotions : you don’t have any proc devotions ?! Not even resistance reduction or a spammable proc. I would need to think deeply to give you a real proposal here
Witchblade chaos
Awesome as well !
I like this build, but i think soldier points can be optimized. A lot of different skills are not maxed. Soldier is the class i never play, so i cannot tell you what is the best compromise, but it feels like it could be optimized.
Also, is war cry usefull if you only use it for the fear effect ?
Regarding devotions : almost nobdy maxes giants bloods above 3 points, and if you read the effect, it is not worth it (constitution is meeehh)
Purifier :
Fire strike tree : static charge is WAY BETTER than explosive strike. Unless i missed a step, you don’t have physical to elemental conversion, whereas lighting is already elemental
You need blast shield, that shit will save you ass more time than you can count
I don’t think vindicative flame is worth to max.
Word of arm doesn’t work with dual wielding
Inquisitor seal needs more attention
Deadly aim is to be maxed immediately !
As for the aura, i am very tempted by aura of censure for huge -38% elemental resistance. But it requires test to check the range.
Hand of ulthos devotion is tempting as well
I thought I forgot something. (Like the thing that makes the build? >>; ) Meant to pick up Frenetic Throw to make PB spammable, lol. I could swap out the off hand for something like http://www.grimtools.com/db/items/8654 -this. I mainly went with as many energy regen devotions as I could pick up >>. http://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNYP0EAZ
I’d use Warcry for the taunt/life reuction. I tend to play with friends a lot, and they like squishy builds, or if I want things to hit me. I could probably decrease Deadly Momentum for Fighting form since my main is Chaos, and FF would at least boost Cadence even with the 100% chaos modifier. As for Behemoth, I maxed it just for the points.
Yeah, I know, that was mainly me liking Explosive Strike, haha. Blast Shield is indeed amazing. I hit up VF for total speed, but you may have a point. I never noticed that aspect of Word of Arm. >_>; Luckily I have a decent amount of points left to play around with. http://www.grimtools.com/calc/O2GWRkj2
