I'll go on with my beloved necro.

Skill :

Bone Armor

There ya go, that's The One! Congrats Mr. Necro-master! Weeell, I guess another one would be with SM since you can incorporate

Boots as well there, but IIRC it's a tie (I made those calculations long time ago xd)...
P.S. A hint for someone else that comes after me, if you can't find any other skill and equipment combo that can go further than 58 (so 59+) for Sorc, just use mine and add +2 from Skill shrine if that counts. Good luck to whoever sees this first I guess.

I should have included the skill shrine in my hints. I think it goes against the Spirit of contest for someone to copy your post and simply add +2 from skill shrine. I will need to think of a fair way to sort that out.

I personally don't mind (otherwise I wouldn't put that previous comment in still not saying that IS the highest a Sorc can go or not), also people who thought of including +2 from shrine deserve a reward for thinking outside of the box (imho)...but it's up to you

This is fun!

I'm gonna go for MA assassin, any skill works, for this example:

20

Claws of Thunder base skill.

2 x +3 to Martial Arts, +3 to

Claws of Thunder

Claws. (12)
+3 to MA

Circlet (3)
+2 Chest, lets say Treachery (2)
3/20 gloves (3)

Arachnid Mesh (1)
+3 MA Amulet (3)
2 x

Stone of Jordan (2)

That's 26 from gear.

Inventory:
+3 Torch
+1 Anni
+9 Charms

That's 13 from inventory. Plus 2 from skill shrine, 1

Battle Command it gives a grand total of:

20 + 26 + 13 + 2 + 1 = 62

Since Druid isnt taken...

Oak Sage 55

CTA +1
Shrine +2

Druid
Elemental skill, any work unless some restrcition i dont know on the skill available on pelt

Earth Shifter => 7
3 eleme amulet => 3
Pelt 3elem 3skill => 6
2

Stone of Jordan => 2

Arachnid Mesh=> 1
Enigma => 2
9 skiller => 9

Hellfire Torch => 3

Annihilus=> 1

20 base +1 cta +2 shrine + 34 equip = 57 edited for wrong math

Apparently people don't like/appreciate free stuff anymore. Now THAT is a true TWIST. xd

Pally has no submissions eh?

Guess I'll give it a shot.

Target skill:

Holy Bolt

Weapon:

Hand of Blessed Light for +6 to

Holy Bolt

Shield:

Herald Of Zakarum for +4

Helm: Rose-Branded

Circlet for +3

Amulet: Rose-Branded amulet for +3

Rings: 2x SoJ for +2

Belt:

Arachnid Mesh for +1

Chest: Enigma for +2

Anni for +1
Torch for +3
9x skiller charms for +9

20 base points
+1 CTA

For a total of: 55 points to

Holy Bolt, or 57 with skill shrine

Mine is not 100% legitimate I think …

I begin with the proposition of karnacier on ele druid (57 points on ele tree) and i change the following :
- I choose armagedon : can also be fine with Flickering Flame in a White pelt with 3

Armageddon
- I add

Magefist -> 58 points on armagedon

The giveaway is closed. I will verify the submissions and list out the winners tomorrow!

You guys are killing me! Half of you edited your posts multiple times! I have a tentative list of winners. I am not listing them out yet, since I am conferring with @jazman on how to proceed. I will either double up the prizes to the existing winners or do another simpler giveaway with the unwon prizes.

The winners are listed below. If you do not see your name, but made a submission, it is because your submission broke the rule of editing your post. Since SO MANY OF YOU edited your posts, I only disqualified those who's edits changed the skill level number. A couple of you edited posts for only grammar, spelling, etc and those I did not disqualify.
Since there will be 3 sets of prizes left over, I will be doing another giveaway once all the current winners have made their selections. This next one will be more of a raffle style where you comment to simply be entered and then I let a random number generator pick winners. If you were disqualified from this one, you are NOT disqualified from entering the next one

Grand Prize @Necrarch Level 62

Bone Armor Necromancer (tie breaker was the time of submission)
2nd Place @Dromar186 Level 62

Claws of Thunder Assassin
3rd Place @krathkor Level 58

Frenzy Barbarian (tie breaker was the time of submission)
4th Place @Nikanu Level 58 Armagedon Druid
5th Place @mohoo Level 56

Lightning Fury Amazon

Thank you to the winners for following my rules and playing along! My original post with the prize listing will be updated as each player selects their winnings. I will reach out to you when it is your turn to select prizes, please reference the original prize listing before making your selections.

I hope everyone had fun; I know I did following your posts

Please thank @jazman for helping me put this together!

Crap! I didn't notice the editing rule apparently. Must've been that damn skill shrine.

Oh well. Thanks for running this for the community Knappogue and Jazman!

Thinking of the skill shrine will stay my biggest feat ^^

My picks are:

1-

Jah +

Jah
2- Griffon and

Lo
3- Poison facet and a 4 ll BK ring

It was the skill shrine I felt REALLY bad for disqualifying you. Seriously. It came down to where I drew the line. I know you were the only paladin submission but if I allowed your submission, I'd have to allow a couple other's that would have made things quite unfair. I hope you understand. Regardless you'll have another chance here to win some loot!

I sent you a message on bnet, i'll be available for the next few hours to hand over your winnings. I'm glad one of you mods finally participated in a giveaway, you guys work so tirelessly keeping us rabble in line!

Thanks a lot man! Had I seen the post before maybe I would have walked with the grand prize.

These are my choices:
1.-

Jah
2.-

Sur
3.- 4LL BK Ring

I know giveaways like these are difficult to put together, so I thank you and @jazman for the initiative. Personally I really like the contest angle. Cheers!

Congrats to all the winners! Ye, I messed up with the pictures and thus put the wrong numbers in... I always edit like a lot, on every post, especially if something sounds weird, delete auto-linking, color parts of text, etc.
Anyway... Wished someone else used my template and added +2 from shrine to get this sweet prize. Oh well
