Amulet: Rare Amulet

*About the build:
The build revolve around using soulshatter skill acquire from the Realm-only RW Black Dog. Here's what the skill does:

I use both Nephalem Weapon and Kraken Stance with all points invested in Strength to archive very high DPS of both Physical and Elemental damage. For surviability, the skill soulshatter provide a pretty decent crowdcontrol via big AOE stun . Tks to Black Dog's HUGE add damage (1000-2000 to be exact), I can also MO my wep with life steal instead of %ED for sustain. Overall, the build can archive very high clearspeed while still quite safe to play, definitely one of my favourite farm build.

Fleshbane

& Crafted Necromancer shield with Hounfor

*About the build:
The build revolve around using Fairy Ring () an amazon skill from

Fleshbane

. Here's the skill:

Due to the skill's need of corpse to function, it naturally pairs well with nec as he has Sacrifice for an endless supply of corpse. Nec also has Deathfury's Totem which gives him a big boost of flat ele damage. We also use

Prince of Nothing

for reanimates, those are mainly use as meatshield cause of the build's squishy nature; though Trap Rat will contribute huge amount of damage if it appears.

*About the build:
Well it's pretty clear that the build is about roasting just about everything with flamestrike from

Buzzbomb

by abusing stormblast multi-hitting, fortress also helps with spreading the flame. About stance, I chose Eagle Stance cause of that awesome regen that we deperately need due to lack of actual way to regain HP (no LL/Losim/los). Last but not least, stormblast to kill fire-immune monster, items with tri-elemental damage will further improve this, though they will still be a hassle to fight.

p/s: I don't use Snake Stance cause I'm a lazy bastard

About the build:
*The build is revolve around proccing on attack proc by using the skill ravage from

Aegipan

. here's what the skill does:

So this build is very similar to that of a procmancer, the different is that ravage has 10 hits and massacre has 5 hits. All 10 hits have chance to trigger on attack proc so you'll be proccing like crazy. But why treewarden and not wolf? I chose treewarden instead of wolf cause he's overall tankier (Idol of scosglen), easier (don't have to worry about mana like wolf) and safer to play (tks to the beefy Circle of Life passive and 50% slow). Treewarden also has very high attack speed.

*Notes: Ravage requires an axe, mace or sword to work, so if you want to use a sword instead of an axe or mace like I do in the video, just equip an axe, morph then switch back to your main wep.

I like the creativity. Can you put more detail into your amulet instead of a rare +5 skill with Mythal or lava pit on attack?

Nice vid here's my cookie.

The skill you see up there is Feral Strike, not Ravage. My ravage's AR is only 33k.

I put all my points in strength so I didn't invest in dex at all, though I think about 20k~25k AR is good enough for a strength build.

Yea that's what I'm asking about. If you're playing it as a proc-based on attack tree warden and you hit 10 times per attack cast, why not get a rare amulet that has +5 skills, some fire pierce or whatever element, and mythal or lava pit on attack?

Edit: or even a klaatu. nova bomb will proc a TON and it adds some more ele dmg and skills

[Fumbles]

Crafted body armor with 5% ctc Javelin Nova might worth the science.

tal-xis axe anyone -2800 max damage on a treewarden is really really strong
