Give me a build to play!

Hey all!

Wanted to find a way to stretch my D2R gameplay a little bit this ladder season. So far I have a 92 Wolfbarb, 87 Fire Druid and am beginning to grab gear for a

Fend/

Impale zon.

What I was curious about is there ever a build you really wanted to see played and maxxed out to the absolutely oblivion? I'm open to ideas and I will spend the remainder of the season after my Zon is built chasing gear and building for this new toon to be able to run through the entire game.

Open to any and all suggestions. Don't worry about cost of gear or anything else. Give me your best (or worst!)

Poison Melee Necro with

Poison Dagger and transformed into a Bear with Beast, and/or running Plague, idk.

A barbarian shapeshifter with the help of

Wolfhowl!

Sorry dinent see that you did it already... my bad

Tankazon. Max

Dodge, Avoid,

Evade,

Slow Missiles, and Valk. One hander +

Stormshield. Enjoy.

Phoenix Strike /

Dragon Claw / 1 point

Death Sentry Assasin. My favorite character spec to play. I don't see people play that build and I'm not sure why not. I know it's not easy or 1 button smash but it's a blast and a pretty light show too.


If you need talent skill advise I will tell what works for me. How many points to invest and which skills should be maxed ect.

Think this or the poison necro leads so far. My barb covers the shifting side and was how I ladder started. He was AMAZING being able to churn out dkey runs, bo for baalers and uber with very accessible gear. My zon is going to be mainly a tank with an ebotd Mat

Pike and a whole bunch of dps/tank stats.

The necro is appealing because I love offmeta style builds, but I worry that I'd find a hard time target farming basically anywhere. He'd require Bramble, trangs gloves and unsure of what I would do for weapon/

Helm.

I've heard rumor that the new MA sins are a blast! Might have to try that one out, how did you feel about

Dragon Claw vs.

Dragon Tail?

I like to use dual

Claws bartuc's and

Jade Talon.

Dragon Claw only requires a few points w/

Claw Mastery maxed.

Dragon Claw uses both

Claws so u actually leech from offhand and nothing is immune to this build. Suggest shaft stop for armor till fort.

Dragon Claw hits like a truck also.

I would lvl as

Dragon Talon kicker till u can use the

Claws I suggested. I recently lvled as kicker and it was so easy I felt invisible up to hell. Soloing up to

Baal and

Baal in NM at lvl 35-40 while the other 7 players did tombs was impressive.

Need a good pair of

Boots like goblin toes upped. Or ik

Boots they have high kicker damage

Holy Fire paladin using a bow/

Crossbow with exploding

Arrows. Just got buffed and this patch. and the

Exploding Arrow uses the extra fire damage from the aura in it's AoE. and only needs 60 pts to complete build, and you are left with the rest to hybridize as you please

working on perfecting my max block ES

Hydra orb sorc - one of my proudest builds was my Phoenix hdin it is so powerful and just perfect... non Dream tesladin, summon

Zeal dru, Brand bow necro, Flickering Flame barb with skills in the

Helm - just spitballing!

Demon Machine, but now it is rly rly good.

Yes, they are!
Fast paced versatile gameplay, scales well with high-end gear and can quickly become a huge rabbit hole for min-maxers.

Hmmmm I actually kind love this idea. What merc do you run with him?

So i have always been a fan of Act 1 merc even though they aren't necessarily top tier. So i am currently running one with a Harmony in a +3 matron bow. Harmony for the

Vigor and because you don't use any mana ever. Though i have considered an act 3 Ice merc since they got buffed and you don't see them very often.

Hmmm I'm thinking either A2 with Pride/

Holy Freeze might be the way to go, but also kind of tempted to try an A3 merc with lightning and go hoto/Spirit/griffons/CoH for the fire x light combo.

Orrrrrrrrrrrr I guess if I'm running

Holy Fire, Faith merc might be best bang for buck with the fanatic?

So with splody bolt you don't really get much out of fanatasism since you care more about

Pierce than attack speed, and don't care about attack rating at all. If you really wanted to break the bank on a merc, i would go Infinity (for

Conviction since all your dmg is elemental), CoH (just cause it is good), and Dream (the

Holy Shock aura helps cover anything you can't break with

Conviction, and your merc having electric dmg dovetails well with Infinity)

to clarify, you don't care about attack rating because whether you hit or miss, you get the explosion that deals your full

Holy Fire +damage in it's AoE, and goes off every time you

Pierce. so i run

Demon Machine + razor tail for 99%

Pierce and love watching the rippling explosions rip through crowds

Here i cobbled together an idea of what a disgustingly rich person might build lol

Spearzon with Infinity made in a

Spear-base (either '

Mancatcher' for the IAS or '

Matriarchal Spear' for the +3 at normal speed) and using '

Lightning Strike' and '

Charged Strike'.

When you use the 'Infinity' yourself, your own attacks also benefit from the -45-55% enemy lightning resist which is pretty huge!

I'm playing a Spearzon on ladder right now and it's pretty darn awesome, even before Infinity you can deal some incredible damage with just an Obedience in a

Spear base equipped
