Hi all! this is the second out of 5 guides I will be making, as you might know. The paladin is a really unique build, and has huge rainbow damage, is a big tank, can farm all uberquests and can kill Brother Laz really easily as well. It's an hybrid paladin using pretty much everything.
This is one of the strongest possible builds. But its not too newbie friendly! if are not good enough to skill-switch, don't even bother trying. It also might require some expensive gear for advanced tactics suggested in this guide.
Okay this is very simple. Let's say we put for example, 1000 points in Energy, we get 500 free strength. This would add half of the EWD bonus from weapon to physical attacks, compared to putting 1000 in strength. But this second option will not boost our spells. So, if you want to go real hybrid, put 1000 in energy, and we get 500 free strength. If you are lazy or noobish you might directly invest 1000 in strength.
2: Skills
Retaliate: 1 point - Main Skill.
Hammerstrike: 1 point - Prerequisite.
Merkabah: 1 point - More not needed.
Lionheart: 1 point - Enough to get 1000 %tcd
Colosseum: 25 points - Enough to get 5 second timer.
Searing Glow: 1 point - Utility Skill
Blazing Fury: sMax - Fire pierce - Knockback
Brimstone: sMax - 50% total def, +500 str, single target skill.
Vessel of Judgement: 1 point - Prerequisite.
Rapture: Leftovers - for more duration.
Resurrect: 1 point - uberskill.
Blessed Life: Enough to get 50%DR.
Divine Apparition: 0-1, 0 if you have blink oSkill.
As you can see, we pretty much use EVERYTHING. That's what makes this build so massive. Retaliate is your main skill, which you use to proc. Colosseum is your secondary skill, it has a lot of good things! HUGE debuffs to monsters, and warp (useful with resurrects). It also gives -50 pierce making your physical damage very viable in heroics.
Searing glow is optional, I personally don't use it, but its useful, as it gives -100% enemy attackrate. Brimstone gives bunch of buffs, so use it every 8 seconds to obtain resonance.
3: Earlygame Gear
The core of this char is mostly endgame due to the high capabilities it reaches. For this reason I'm just listing earlygame gear with no additional comments since early game playing is rather obvious.
Weapon: Taqiyya, Brahman, The Crucifier.
Armor: Dragonheart, Jitan's Kamon, Steel Golem
Helm: Hierodule, Glowskull, Craft
(Shield): Craft (bear stance)
Gloves: Kali
Belt: Deadfall
Boots: Lionpaw, Death Spur
Rings: Empyrean Bands
Amulet: Rare (4 all skills)
Very simple playstyle, there are some things that can make your leveling a lot easier, A1 Ranger with Sol RW (bow), Character Orb with 15 Apples (30% life leech), etc.
4: Endgame Gear
I will be listing the best options here, if you don't have the needed items just seek for similar stats on other items you can afford. As a really strong endgame build, you might need to have some items beforehand. This is just a gear setup I came up with, and works really nice.
WEAPON
Venom Sting
Holy Lance (Sacred)
Two-Hand Damage: (392-441) to (1676-1760)
(Paladin Only)
Amazing Grace
30% Chance to cast level 37 Punisher on Striking
+(2 to 3) to Paladin Skill Levels
+(300 to 350)% Enhanced damage
60% Increased Attack Speed
+1000 to Maximum Damage
150% Bonus to Attack Rating
(30 to 35)% Life stolen per Hit
-50% to Enemy Poison Resistance
+(50 to 100) to all Attributes
Just perfect, we get one free element that doesn't need any back-up like spell damage or whatever, making this a solid (tho expensive) choice.
SWITCH WEAPON
The Dragon's Star
Angel Star (Sacred)
One-Hand Damage: (551-600) to (725-777)
(Paladin Only)
+2 to Paladin Skill Levels
+(2 to 3) to Rathma's Chosen
SWITCH SHIELD
Deathforce
Crown Shield (Sacred)
Defense: (4051-5670)
+(2 to 3) to Paladin Skill Levels
+(3 to 13) to Nightmare
Segnitia
Field Plate (Sacred)
Defense: (6991-9392)
10% Chance to cast level 10 Time Strike on Striking
+200 damage
(21 to 25)% Chance of Crushing Blow
Slows Target by 10%
+(251 to 300)% Enhanced Defense
+200 Defense
All Resists +(20 to 25)%
Damage Reduced by 50
+(50 to 75) Life after each Kill
Really awesome armor, nothing bad in it. The flat 200 damage (both min and max) synergized by the huge amounts of enhanced weapon damage, will make char a lot stronger.
Strength Beyond Strength
Gothic Plate (Sacred)
Defense: (8011-10908)
Area Effect Damage
1% Chance to cast level 36 Pyroblast on Striking
Adds 100-150 damage
-10% Target Defense
150% Bonus to Attack Rating
+150% Damage to Demons
25% Life stolen per Hit
10% Deadly Strike
+(301 to 350)% Enhanced Defense
Is also very nice, and since we get -199 enemy fire resistances for free, the proc comes pretty handy. It also adds %DS, so whatnot.
HELM
Fauztin's Shadow
Blackguard Helm (Sacred)
Defense: (2811-3325)
5% Chance to cast level 26 Broadside when Struck
25% Increased Attack Speed
Adds 25-75 damage
(1 to 15)% Life stolen per Hit
Slows Target by 10%
(15 to 20)% Bonus to Strength
+(301 to 350)% Enhanced Defense
+(15 to 20) to Dexterity
All Resists +(21 to 25)%
2% Reanimate as: Howling Spirit
Socketed: 4
A really awesome option. Broadside when struck completely rapes it all. In ubers like vizjun this proc will clean your screen instantly. It also adds flat damage, slow, strength bonus, a pretty cool reanimate.
GLOVES
Ironbound Impact Tome
Heavy Gloves (Sacred)
Defense: (1415-1683)
+2 to Paladin Skill Levels
Adds 150-200 damage
+150% Damage to Undead
+(21 to 30)% to Cold Spell Damage
5% Chance of Crushing Blow
+(14 to 1 to Cone of Cold
Slows Target by 5%
+(301 to 350)% Enhanced Defense
All except cone of cold / cold damage, is simply awesome. Be it the flat damage, paladin skills, %CB, slow or %damage to undead. By far the best option.
BELT
Cliffhanger
Sash (Sacred)
Defense: (1027-1236)
Durability: 25
Required Strength: 452
Required Level: 100
1% Chance to cast level 16 Lifeblood when Struck
(11 to 15)% Chance of Crushing Blow
+(301 to 500) Defense
+100 to Strength
+50 to Vitality
Was just going thru documentation and saw this beauty. Why not? it adds bunch of strength, flat def, %CB and Lifeblood. Really nice belt.
BOOTS
Steel Terror
Light Plated Boots (Sacred)
Defense: (1972-2488)
100% Chance to cast level 23 Respawner when you Die
3% Chance to cast level 13 MIRV when you Kill an Enemy
30% Faster Run/Walk
+(100 to 150) to Maximum Damage
10% Mana stolen per Hit
10% Life stolen per Hit
10% Bonus to All Attributes
+(251 to 300)% Enhanced Defense
Pretty much fits all our needs. %LL, %AA, flat max damage, MIRV proc (3x beacon) that goes nicely since its fire+poison damage.
RINGS
Orc Torque Torc
Ring
Required Level: 100
5% Chance to cast level 14 Earthquake on Attack
5% Increased Attack Speed
Stun Attack
10% Chance of Crushing Blow
+25 to Strength
+25 to Vitality
Not bad, 10%CB and earthquake proc seem to be rather nice. It feels cool not to use the classy bad mood rings, which are obviously an option as they are clearly overpowered. But with this rings we can reach 100%CB easily.
AMULET
Dyers Eve
Amulet
Required Level: 100
5% Chance to cast level 5 Time Strike on Striking
+(2 to 3) to All Skills
Adds 25-50 damage
5% Life stolen per Hit
All Resists +10%
Damage Reduced by 5%
Another cool option overall, once again covers all our needs. Overpowered beads is obviously an option too, otherwise you can always use rares too.
SOCKET FILLERS
For weapon and torso, simply use Jah's, or Sha'ads if you feel like duping. For the rest of the gear I personally mix both perfect gems for %max resistances, and eld runes for %AR. Socket your switch weapon/shield with NIH runes for %Buff duration.
MYSTIC ORBS
+%all res orbs, optionally poison pierce. Thunderhammer for jewellry.
5: Playstyle
First, buff with all shiny buffs you have, be them Vessel of Judgement, Lionheart, Merkabah, Blazing Fury, Rapture. Use the buffs while you're on your switch gear, for longer duration. Afterwards go to Vizjun, kill a few monsters, and resurrect giant drones / enforcers, or whichever are poison immune. This way you have invincible tanks for the duration of rathma's chosen. This isn't usually needed for regular uberfarming, so just use it in special occations (Rathma's Chosen)
Afterwards, when you go to fight, the playstyle gets more complex as you need it. Most basic strategy is to retaliate it all until everything dies, if you're running Tran Athula. As ubers get harder its recommended you start using all your skills, for better comebacks.
Colosseum is nice to gather your resurrects, as well as getting yourself into a big mob to start retaliating. Additionally this skill is really good against heroic bosses as it lowers their physical resistance by 50%, not only making them drop physical resistances 3x times more often, but also dealing higher damage when it does.
If you step into even harder ubers, brimstone kicks in. It will grant you 500 free strength if you're energy based, and it will multiply your TOTAL defense by 1,5.
If you step into even HARDER ubers, you can use searing glow, that will indirectly boost your defense, by lowering enemy attack raiting. I personally never really need it, but hey its free!
6: Uberquests
First of all, check <this> thread. I'll only list the not-so-obvious ubers. After a quick check, almost all ubers seem to be rather obvious, or dont need explanation thanks to previous thread. In ubers like toraja, vizjun resurrects are really useful.
Brother Laz: go to Cathedral of Vanity, clear it, now resurrect 5 Nun of vanities. Go to burial ground, summon Laz, run like an idiot for 5 seconds, until Laz teleports to you with their minions - and make sure they are no totems near. Use colosseum, and the nuns of vanity will kill him really fast.
After you used colosseum at laz face, Nuns of vanity should target him. In this small leap, do anything to avoid death! this includes going behind a wall like a coward. Afterwards, grab charm.
Interestingly enough, the only item needed for this exists in MXL as well, this being the SSU Angel Star. So this is a viable cheese method for MXL too (its even easier because Rathma's Chosen is stronger on cMXL). Since people love cheesing, why not give them the cheesing lesson of the day.
Kabraxis: you will need a source of Cold and Lightning. You can get Hailstorm oskill from an amulet, and for lightning you can get Thunderstone from a SSSU armor, or anything else if you feel creative. Otherwise you can just ignore that and go with the low flat elemental damage granted by charms. For kabraxis you can abuse Revives with Rathma's Chosen too. Just make sure they are psn immune.
Uldyssian: Have him always under Nightmare curse, this way even if you die, he won't heal. Basic purify strategy here.
Brachyceran: we got rainbow damage and colosseum, as well as huge defense. Just make sure you stack some poison resists.
Startled Witch: noob cheesing not too viable here, given the high amount of monsters / teleporting witch. Just use retaliate and let your procs kill everything constantly in a chain while you purify the witch.
The Yshari Sanctum: everything rather easy here. All those healing monsters can be stopped with Nightmare. Other than that, use brimstone against some bosses, otherwise usually you will have strong phys/magic/poison, but this won't work for all cases.
Against valthek no strategy needed, just use the skills you are given. 作者: dking 时间: 2012-8-14 20:43
[MXL:U] Zoology - the Bowzon
MarcoNecroX
原帖地址:http://modsbylaz.14.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=25069
官网注册可看
Hello everyone, on this guide im telling you how to build a perfect bowzon that can pretty much rape all ubers, and is one of the top 3 characters to solo Kabraxis, the new uberquest.
Basically you will be using all bow skills except Phalanx - everyone knows no matter how good this skill can be used, wyrmshot and barrage will always be better.
Stat/Skill Points
Strength: Zero if possible. It depends on what item pieces you use endgame.
Dexterity: Everything! More physical damage, leech, and attack raiting.
Vitality: none!
Energy: none!
SKILLS
Wild and Free: 1 point. Prerequisite.
Fire Elementals: 1 point. Prerequisite. Useful when entering new difficulties, as on-death proc slvl gets higher.
Balance: 1 point. Prerequisite, pusseh skill
Ecstatic Frenzy: sMax (29). Epic magic damage is epic.
Defensive Harmony: 15 points. Enough to reach 50% slow (cap for bosses)
Ghost Arrow: sMax (32). 9 Arrows, pretty nice, and synergy.
Barrage: 1 point. Secondary skill. Boss killer. Gets buffed with soft points.
Phalanx: 1 point. Prerequisite.
Dragonlore: sMax (29). Tri-ele damage.
Wyrmshot: 21 points. 10 targets is enough.
Paragon: 1 point. Over 17k hp endgame, without investing in vita.
War Spirit: 1 point. We don't need crushing blow.
Equipment
Early Game
Weapon: TU Stag Bow. Lifeblood and death blossom procs. Flat damage, and resistances.
Quiver: Locust Hive. 5% arrow proc. Enough said.
Armor: TU Splint Mail. tri-ele damage, guard tower proc.
Helm: TU Cervelliere. Str/Dex, lifesteal. Siegfried (Jah) Rw when you hit 65.
Belt: TU Heavy Belt. SoR Procs. Or TU Light belt for lifesteal and dex.
Gloves: Honorific Gloves to pump your resis, after that Kali (Pul) RW.
Boots: Lionpaw. Stats, life.
Rings: Ring of disengement/truth, Empyrean bands.
Amulet: Rare with +all skills.
Mid Game
Weapon: Fire (Pantheon Set). Tri-ele, and flat damage, and proc.
Quiver: Locust Hive or Hanabigami.
Armor: Earth (Pantheon Set). To complete set.
Helm: Heaven (Pantheon Set). To complete set.
Belt: TU Heavy Belt / TU Light belt.
Gloves: Water (Pantheon Set). To complete set.
Boots: Frost (Pantheon Set). To complete set.
Rings: Empyrean band x2.
Amulet: +4 all skills rare, banish proc, Lightning Arena oskill.
End Game
Weapon: SSU Stag Bow. %CB, 4 pierce, arrow proc, zon skills, flat damage, spiral dance. PERFECT.
Quiver: SSSU Arrow Quiver. Arrowside Proc. Or Bag of Tricks SSU Quiver.
Armor: Many options. I'm using SSSU Splint Mail for %DR, ele absorb, max res and normal res. This is useful for the first part of Kabraxis Uber. Other options are the common ones, Hralti's Craft, pretty much.
Helm: SSSU Cervelliere. Tri-ele damage/pierce, 5% max res. Other options are the obvious ones, YLFE Ban, Helepolis and Asgardsreia.
Belt: Tons of options too: TL;DR (flat 500 hp), SSSU Plated Belt has tons of life after kill, %DR, etc. but too high str requeriments. SSSU Belt is also nice (tri ele pierce/max hp).
Gloves: More options! Facebreaker, or SSSU Heavy gloves for broadside proc.
Boots: SSSU Heavy boots is probably the best option, SSSU Greaves are also nice but require much strength.
Rings: Bad mood ring x2.
Amulet: Beads of the Snake Queen, or a 4 all skills, banish / light arena rare.
Uberquests
Basic Gameplay: buff with War spirit, bloodlust, ecstatic frenzy and Familiar if you have it. Kill normal stuff with wyrmshot, kill bosses with Barrage. I will not write how to do the obvious ubers.
Cathedral of Vanity: make a TP outside the uber, enter, avoid lazorbeam, lure monsters, get close to Crystal Ball, spam barrage, die, repeat.
Toraja: try to get as much life on striking as possible, lure monsters 1 by one, when lilith isnt surrounded, summon 10 edyrems, blink at her, spam barrage and TP home.
Vizjun: monsters are killable, but rushing to MCS can and using purify fast is really easy.
Akarat: Spam barrage, summon, and run really fast to avoid hammers. Followers will die really fast, so run to Akarat and spam barrage while he still is vulnerable.
Lord Aldric Jitan: summon next to the entrance to halls, lure them 1 by one, then lure LAJ to the red portal, summon fire elementals, enter, he will be slowed and busy with eles, spam barrage, ele's on death proc + barrage should counter his lifeblood healing.
Judgement Day: use edyrems/fire elementals to keep Nephalems busy, drink a potion when boss spawns, and kill it.
Brother Laz: become a man and equip a 2-h sword, add a few more points into Wild and Free fore more running, get 100% open wounds, just purify and hit, then run, and repeat.
Kingdom of Shadow: make honorifics with FRW, hp when struck, teleport when struck and get 95% poison resists. Once you reach the narrow corridor, un-wear anything with teleport when struck, go home, summon edyrems, blink, go home, repeat, then kill boss with Barrage.
Duncraig: doable with TU's, with pantheon set is really easy. When you start, clear the first part with Ghost Arrow, once entrance is clear, enter and kill with wyrmshot/barrage while you keep running. Once reanimates popped, its easy.
Quov Tsin: wear SSU boots, and SSSU Splint Mail, and any more absorb you can get. Reach 95% res and 500% stacked resistances.
Astrogha: good luck for this one, kill him with barrage, its all about luck and not letting astrogha summon traps.
Kabraxis: have at least 90% res for first part if you wan't to do it death-free, make a tp, then kill the first mobs. After that, kill light boss with barrage, remember to avoid thunderstone every 3 seconds. Once that is done, kill Fire boss, remember every 3 seconds to move and let him cast Rain of Fire somewhere else. After that go to Ice boss and do the same as fire boss. Same for magic boss, this time its easy since you just need to avoid death spiral. Finally, for physical boss, just snipe him with ghost arrow or barrage.
Against kabraxis defensive harmony will keep him slowed, just spam barrage when far away from him, he will go to the center of the barrage and stand still for a few seconds, which means you need to go a bit far away to avoid broadside, and repeat. If he blinks to you, either start spamming barrage to kill skeletons, or just run away and kill them with Wyrmshot.
Vitality
If you reached max block (75%) you can decide whether you want to put the leftovers here or in Dexterity
Energy
Nothing ofc
Skills
* sMax Way of the Phoenix and way of the gryphon
*smax pbeing
*put some points to Blink
*Endgame only: smax Broadside !

2. Leveling Guide
1. Do Blood Moor and Den of Evil , you will be around lvl 10-12, spend your first points in Crucify (1pt)
and Way of the Spider
1a) Get Character Orb , we will Cube the following stuff on it(during Gameplay):
Oil of Jewelcraft-15 Mana after kill
Apples- 2% life leech
Ith Runes -5% Total Character Defense
2. Rush towards Dark Wood you will be lvl 12-14, open Portal to Tristram and kill Griswold
Cube the dropped Gift Box with a tp scroll, we will use the naginata and the armor
3. Collect any Runes on your way ! + Get 2 Magical Rings WITHOUT any LVL requirements, same with Amulet !!
4.Put them in socketed Throwing knifes or throwing axes (can be bought at Akara) and sell them
=> easy money
5. Buy magic Boots (the crappiest ones) and cube with meditation candle and Victims Heart,(Honorific)
we will use this Boots at least till Destruction
6. Go on till Inner Cloister, it should be easy with crucify and TU Naginata, rerun this part a few times
=> your lvl should be around 22-24 now.
7. Kill Andariel collect any Uniques on your way and disenchanct them to shards
8.In Act 2 buy some Mystic orbs (fire resists and poison resist) and cube them on your boots
we need +75% resists on both stats.
9. Hire an Exemplar, you dont need to gear him. Till now Max Wots, Wotp and Perfect Being , put some points
into Queen of Blades and into Laserblade, have Crucify on the left Mouse Button and Shadow refuge on right one
( My Style at least), if necessary keep shadow refuge active !
10.Do Sewers till you reach lvl ~30 then go on and finish Act 2
11. Continue with Act 3 till you reach Tristram, stop there
12. Annoying part begins, we prepare for Lvl Challenge. Do Andariel, Horadric Malus( yes it can be disenchanted)
and Tristram and disenchant Khalims Flail. Here are the Items we are looking for:
Weapon Tier 4 or 5 Tu Naginata
Belt Tier 3 or 4 Tu Heavy Belt
Gloves Tu Chain Gloves, Tier 4 or 5
Armor Tier 5 Chain Armor
On Rings an Amu, cube Wyrd Mystic Orbs until Spell Timer is ~2 seconds this will be enough, if you need Str or Dex use These orbs as well
Time for Level Challenge, i assume you will be lvl ~42 if you finished with step 12.
13. Level Challenge
Use Wyrd and kill from far away, it should be very easy with high life leech from apples !
Cube Sunstones , and upgrade sunstone of elements
14. Do Mephisto ! And continue with Act 4 + Act 5 its not even a challenge
15. If you finished Hatred we will still stay a while in Hatred diffculty
16. Go in Cow Levle and rape some Cows, you will be lvl ~60 really quick
17. Do some Island of the Sunless Sea runs, you can easy get to Level 70, enough now lets enter Terror
18. In the Meanwhile you can get your class charm in Kurast3kBa, rush to first Nec kill and repeat till your charm appears
Shadow Vortes is what we need.
19. Enter Terror and first check your resists, cube needed Mystic Orbs on your honorific Boots,
if there are some spare, then use some %frw , this really helps.
29. Just rush Act 1 Terror , we should be strong enough.
22. In Act 2 Terror theres a break in Game difficulty it starts to be a bit harder. Rush till far oasis skip Sewers.
22. Rerun this place till you get some hihger Runes, we need a Jah an Ohm and a Lo
23. If succesful gamble Blade Talons, we need Tier 6. Use Affix Burn Recipe and Reroll this Item
till you get some good Modifier ( 80% + ed and of some ar%). Use socket punch Recipe for 3 sockets.
Fill the first 2 Sockets with any Jewels (no special Jewels needed) and Ohm , we got Judge Runeword !
24. Use Judge in First Weapon Slot and Nagi on Second slot
25. Gamble any assasin shield (even Tier doesnt matter) make it Superior and socketed, and create
Ligeia Lo runeword, equip it.
26. Last step of equipment change, if you paid attention you noticed we didnt even use a hat,
gamble a circlet and create Jah runeword, 1 Life on striking is awesome along with Wyrd
27. Step in Sewers Terror, it should be quite doable even as pork !! Level there till ~80
28 Get a perfect Gem, get a Book of Summoning and go to Valley of Snakes.
29. Summon Tal Rasha, use Wyrd to kill Minions, the more there are the faster they die, dont forget TP
29a) If only Tal Rasha is left you notice your dmg is low, you could try to kill with Naginata or you could get back to town
and buy any throwing knife. Why? - Ligeia adds a nice skill, Shadow Blade 50k Magic dmg, use this Skill to kill tal Rasha
dont mind if you die, but you will do it !!
30. Get Horadric staff and enter Arcane Sactuary, we could Level there to 90 and get Way of the Gryphon.
30a) If you dont like Arcane Sactuary you could do Hatred fauztinville !
31. Do Terror Act 3 (doable but you will eventually die) and act 4 ( Diablo is a real pain !!)
Important watch out for any Sacred Assasin Claws (in best case Blade Talons) and pick any Shrine that drops
If you can get a rare Sacred Totem or Bladed shield you will suceed !! Use any Shrine on this Rare shield
if it is a magic Shield rerol with Chaos reroll recipe. Its okay if the shield is crappy as long as we get
ATMG Sentry !! Estimated lvl 95-100
32. If you got a sacred Assasin weapon this is what to do with it:
Disenchant and make Superior
reroll with oil of renewal till 40% ed or more
Add one Mystic orb '999 to i need a life cause i have 6 shaads'
If Mystic Orb works you have Double Mo bonus on the item (green text appears if succesful)
Use as many Mystic Orbs as possible, max out ed% first then you can choose between Max dmg and life after kill !
Create Ohm Runeword again
33. Now that you got both Skills Wyrd and ATMG you can add some more Wyrd Mos ( or you already did)
and do act 5 Terror, i usually Level a bit out of Town and then Rush till Ancients, Level that far ~105
34. Ancients are annoying, if you dont have Atmg you will have a hard time there
35. Kill Terror Baal
36. Dont enter Destruction yet, equip Ligeia again and do some Tcows - yay Fun !
you will quickly reach Level 120 !
37. Enter Destruction and follow Uber guide.
5.Gear

on second Slot if you have it you can use Judges Sin for even more Wyrd dmg !!

ok lets assume he has 1kk life, our effort goes to immolation bomb. We need to have -199% efr then it works like this :
cast immolation bomb below her feet, this will summon 32 fireballs, each fireballs needs to deal 500k : 32 ~ 16k dmg.
if we use crafted shield and crafted claws on switch gear we can get almost the dmg we need, change rings to fire spell dmg ones nad maybe amu to a good lamen (or rare) and kill him. only contra is these crafts aren that easy to get !! 作者: dking 时间: 2012-8-14 20:47
Summary
A weapon based damage sorceress with alot of life on striking. This is the polar opposite of a normal melee sorceress which focuses on elemental damage. This build offers more survival rather than damage in some cases
Pros
Massive amount of weapon procs, allowing alow of life on striking to quickly regain out health
Cons
Lacks overall damage to an extent and elemental damage. Physical immune monsters will annoy you.
Very Laggy
Once you start attacking you cannot stop or else you may die from stopping the momentum of procs.
Deathlord morph limits your ias to a fixed rate.
You wont have full max block, but a decent amount.

Skill Plan
Skillplan Steel Punishment v2 (Sorceress, 2012 v005)
I decided to change it around and go more defensive with lightning/cold.
rings: bad mood ring x2, will increase your killspeed. the lower your killspeed is, the more procs will spawn thus more laggy will gameplay be. if you have enough killspeed you won't reach that point.
armor: SSSU ceremonial (atanna khan's dress): dark power proc, citizen reanims, avoid,flat damage, 25% dex, sorc skills (sorc skills is on txt and not on plugy stash I sent you)
shield: SSSU spiked has %block chance, max dmg, %hp, %all stats, nice too
belt: imo sssu heavy, has %dex, %str, flat damage, life leech, less str required
gloves: another option here is sssu heavy for broadside proc on kill (will increase killspeed a lot)
helm: sssu great helm is also nice (flat damage), def, allskills, %DR, %hp,, etc... 作者: xukaidi 时间: 2012-8-14 21:42
