Nagisin with constant blood bath activated from psy tree.

Looks like it won't be easy to get that many points in the passive for 100 cognition and also have enough points for Nagi tree, but GL

Thanks I plan on using Barrier strike first and then slowly transition over to a Hades Gate Sin, but I'll have to see how well it works. It also depends on how much Domain increases the range of Hades Gate. If Hades Gate is useless without Domain, it's probably futile to go that way before level 130.

Well, being a SP, it's hard to find specific items. Not having to rely on Dark Pact is a plus, but of course, it'll take lots of wasted potential. It all depends on how many skill points it requires in the end. If we go with 100 +3 to get Hades Gate + 2 from pre-requisites for Perfect being +25 for perfect being, +5 from momentum that's already 135 skill points required at the very least, achievable at level 123. But that's still without Laserblade defense bonus and 0 block, so that'll be really hard to play around. But since Barrier Strike has a smaller AoE, it might be pretty safe to use Blink + Barrier Strike as an engage for the first few corpses and then just hope to kill everything faster than I get killed

But yeah, the whole build depends on so many variables that we can't see yet, so I might just stay as a Barrier Strike Nagi Sin and not go with the Blood Bath from Psy tree after all.


Alternatively, I can still choose to play Storm Crows. This seems like it could be effective early on.

I like wyrmshot, so I'll probably be doing bow Amazon. the new Amazon bow runewords, specifically the two highest level ones, both seem really strong, particularly these two. SO much damage on both of them, but with them using runes instead of gems, and with the nerf to Paragon, Bowzon's are going to be even more glass cannon than they already were.

Not so sure. I was worried to see Abyss and STF removed.

Wondering about Javazon. The new Split Spear sounds like old d2 Multishot that bowzons used all the time in cows. It could be like old bowzon with a shield

And this bug fix sounds like it was the main reason Java had problems in the past:

Moon Queen:
Fixed a bug that where the +Physical Damage% and +Critical Strike% was not applied to Javelin throwing skills

That could be a massive boost on its own.
