Mystic orbs and lucky oil.

If you found a magical tantrum bow with ctc knife throw / arrow, it's worth a shot to lucky orb it.

Thanks, but that failed. Shame it has max tantrum. Anyway is there a specific shrine I should try crafting that bow with?

I'm kinda newb so I don't know, but I guess it would add up nicely with multihitting skills like tantrum (yes, I'm trying suchbalance's tantrumdin guide out :P ) especially with TTaD which basically doubles doom damage.


Doom sLvl 44 does 660 phys damage per hit. It's a decent option for the character, but I prefer other amulets (Klaatu) once you get it. Reasons for this are:

1) Vindicate overwrites doom - not that major since doom has a larger radius and you only cast vindicate once per 10 seconds but it happens.
2) Physical damage is overrated for tantrum paladins - there is a reason we don't aim for high phys rolls on our bow but go for crushing blow instead.
3) Useless for single target i.e. boss killing.

Any shrine you can get your hands on. Reason for this is that tantrum + good proc combo is so rare that you will most likely go through hundreds of shrines before you obtain such a bow and hence it is impractical to assume you have such quantities of a single type of shrine.

it's actually TTAD that triggers doom, not the other way around

for example if you have target takes additional fire/cold/light damage, it won't trigger it

Correct. Posting right when I woke up, not the best idea.

Character speeds were increased at one point in time to counteract the 0 defense on sprinting, that way you could walk somewhat decently fast and not lose all your defense.

Yea I remember Druid was given a speed buff but then brought back down a bit. Good move since acid fiends speed him up greatly anyways.

was wondering since I have never seen this O skill Danse Macabre, it says it is a whirling attack that hits enemies in front of me, but when I use it to test I cant see what it talks about. is it any good and is its attack physical?
what would be useful procs for it?

also is there a shrine blessing that will give slow target bonus?
