Trap-Rat Druid is just literally "click mouse until dead"

Axe-Throwing Barb in my experience, doesn't have too many skills that need to be swapped out. Just cast your pre-buffs and summon yer wolves; then you're golden.

Melee Necro will need you to cast Death Knight, then use your wall of anger; but not too many skill switches fer it. The duration of the enrage effect from the wall will increase as you level up.

Bowzon ain't got much, just cast Ecstatic Frenzy, use the bloodlust skill buff, and run about with Wyrmshot. Though I will warn you, Bowzon is EXTREMELY squishy, ever heard the phrase 'Glass Cannon'? She is a rainbow glass Howitzer; deals multitudes of damage, but your defense will be nothing forever, and you will die super quickly if you are not careful.

Unholy Melee Paladin is rather simplistic if memory serves; but you will need to switch between Lemures and Blood Thorns often. I bound E 'n D for those two skills; helps substantially.

There are probably others, but I can't think of 'em.

there are a lot of those , but since you need a build that can do fine untill hard ubers with cheap gear i would recommend picking between javazon/traprat/totemancer/throw barb/throwsin/unholy caster/caster sorceress . i believe those got the highest chances of success in the curent patch , still , there are about 100 viable builds out there so it's up to you to pick something that suits your playstyle .

chuck, how do you build mid game javazon enough to farm tran, dunc, and fautz? i'm getting one shotted pretty much everywhere.

Perfect gems and paragon in order to get high hp.only respec to curare when you can access end game gear . With paragon you will be able to survive a few hits as you can go over 15k hp

If you wish to stick to Lagertha miniguide, a weird crafted javelin with sor after kill will also work good until you can access something better.


Kill a few with ricochet then spam fairy ring. Spellblind is also good to have in some situations. For strong single targets use the 1-pointer Enfilade.

Good luck !
