EPTHow I wished I could skip level 1 to 68 and simply play endgame content. That's why I never played a single race, both because I'm bad and because it's shitty.

But yes, Levelling is like my least favourite thing. | ||

Any suggestions on how we want to organize tabs? Name them after donators? Use e.g. one for levelling gear, one for free skillgems and one for... I don't know. I'm awful at organizing stashes. They can be customized for each individual league, so feel free to make suggestions. | ||

I think that it will reduce damage to some targets in exchange for a larger AoE. It will also move your damage "sweet spot" farther away since I believe you will hit monsters the most times at the farthest extent of your throw (where your weapon "stops" briefly).

However in nemesis they were there. I dunno how that interacts. Yeah a "free gems" tab sounds like a good idea although I hope people bother keeping it in some sort of order cuz gem tabs are so annoying to go through  . | ||

Ground Slam w/ Melee phys, added fire, life leech, blood magic and you can even run probably 2 auras with reduced mana. Or do spectral throw with added fire, LMP, life leech, blood magic. Or who knows what else. baptism facerolls that content esp with a 5L. But yes, Levelling is like my least favourite thing. Good point.  I tried inf blow and well, cleave doesn't work with maces. Oh well, I found out today that my build can still be played as templar, prolly a bit better than Scion, so I'll reroll. | ||

 Note that bows all have 5% base crit chance so you are never gonna get the kind of crazy crit build you can make with wanders (though obviously good bows are much easier to come by). Frenzy is standard for single target but AFAIK split arrow is just worse than rain of arrows and ice shot simply isn't very good lol. I'm sure you can make something work though  | ||

It should be visible for all Leagues now, unless I missed something. I need to make changes for every League manually because GGG hates organization. Yell if it still doesn't work! | ||

Or at least, my friend who was building one said that with the reset it takes him like 17 more points to get essentially the same build Note that bows all have 5% base crit chance so you are never gonna get the kind of crazy crit build you can make with wanders (though obviously good bows are much easier to come by).

I'm sure you can make something work though I know the base is kinda low... So should I completely (or almost completely) skip crit? Anyway, I've read different things about Ice Shot, idk. Some crit might be nice if I go Iceshot, as that'll make them freeze. A non crit version of the upper build I posted would be like this: link Thanks for your help, btw! | ||

Crit is definitely somewhat of an "all or nothing" plan since +100% cc or +100% cd aren't very useful by themselves but put them together and stuff starts happening. Also note that when running a crit-based build you need to give consideration to how your character interacts with worst-case scenario double-reflect packs. Even in softcore dying to stuff like that ruins your day. | ||

I think I'll go with the physical "non" crit build above, it also looks like it will do more constant damage. | ||

Try and avoid 3% attackspeed nodes they are just kinda bad. Better than +10stat nodes I guess but not by very much. At some point you gotta just make the build tho and forget the theorycraft. Regret orbs exist for a reason | ||

I think you took wayyyyy too many points into evasion rating although I'll admit I don't have too much experience with end-game evasion based characters. You also want both frenzy charges that you are very near since that will seriously multiply your single-target DPS. PS acrobatics looks like a free 30% dodge if you wanna grab that since you wont be using armor/es at all. Try and avoid 3% attackspeed nodes they are just kinda bad.

Its crazy, cause all other things until then are not really dangerous. Sometimes i regret my repulsion to softcore :D. + Show Spoiler + Well I was only having damage troubles when the traps got stacked up too much (and I think this was more being careful than actually in danger of dying; I should have been able to pot up before the next round of detonations). The boss has multitrap so it throws three lightning traps. If you set one off while it is throwing the next set then it looked like all of them would detonate instead of despawning the originals which means you're eating six lightning traps all at once ^_^ I had 1.3k health and 77% lightning resist though so me melting is a huge liability for the more squishy party members. He also ran away every time I would close on him making it pretty much impossible to DPS as a melee. I don't think skelly totem is going to help much because you either don't want to set off the traps or be far enough away that the lightning projectiles will split far enough for there to be dead space you can dodge into. Random skeletons are just going to set them off at bad angles. | ||

Even in softcore dying to stuff like that ruins your day. Most LA builds just utilized static blows to get shock stacks because crit is bad stat when your base crit chance is 5%. I'm not sure it is possible to get over there anymore though, but LA builds died out pretty long ago anyway. People started playing RoA and Explosive Arrow instead of LA after the change to life on hit to be reduced by damage effectiveness. With lightning arrow not having infinite life on hit anymore it wasn't nearly as strong or safe. On October 25 2013 03:10 Onekobold wrote: who should I message/add in order to be added to the guild?
