Short Questions Thread

You don't really need to emphasize Dragonlore. It won't do you a whole lot of good without ele pierce to go with it. Phys/Magic bowzon (high phys damage gear + frenzy) does great too.

nvrmind found it was thinking of the slep+trophies recipe disregard

What's a good amount of Shuriken Flurry damage in mid game (early destruction)? I've been getting 2-3k with hobo gear and it's not being spectacularly effective.

How many characters can you create per account?

Also, if I struggle with my builds can I continue to seek your advise?

Chances are I'm going to be a major newbie for a while. The game is challenging.

How do i get a MOTW oskill for a weapon switch for my barb.

DreamTeam wrote:If I wanted to make a pure melee build which class is best for that? Would the shapeshift Druid be my best bet? Somebody told me the rat was good for beginner players and weren't very gear dependent. Right now I'm having trouble finding any success with any particular build. I'm worried I'm never going to settle in and find anything that I truly enjoy and can become end-game viable.

Barbarian Iron Spiral/Deathgaze would work great with small investment.
Lots of defense and good offense because his passives are just too good. I have one with main damage come from Daedalus and Wolves passives. Used no stances just because i don't like attack with left click

I die a lot already with low defense so I figure it's worth a shot. Or would sun strike and dragonlore be a wiser investment of my skill points? I must find skills that I enjoy otherwise I end up placing them all over the place and not where I should be.

I'm currently building Barrage with ecstatic frenzy. Mostly scale physical and get EWDs from gears with leech jewels. I have over 80% leech already and can facetank most bosses. I died mostly from Manglers or any multiprojectiles attacks.

I really like those pet wolves the Barbarian has. Somebody told me not to max it, but how many wolves could I potentially get if I invested a lot of points into it just for fun? The pet wolves seem like nice tanks and I like the way they move around so fast. Can I try it out in the early game and then switch my skills later on? Also thanks for the tips. I also want to make a barrage and ecstatic frenzy bowazon even if it's walking that dangerous line. I'm also tempted to make a Javazon build with a shield. Something with high defense and a high percentage of block chance.

There are better options beside it. I just don't like Stances because i can't auto attack with Left click. To offset the loss, i maxed the other skill.
And btw, i can have like 8 wolves, they soak damages, and they adds thousands of physical damage (you can leech this damage).
The downside is that the damage act like external damage, will not count for skill conversion. Fortunately, i have 600+ pdps axe which help me a lot.

For that bowazon, be sure to stack Uninterrupted Attack to 100% before Terror Act 2 (sewer mob will rekt you if you dont leech, you can't leech if you're not attacking). And use the
