What are you favourite builds?

[Crash]

idk, i did it last season untwink to 120 and clawblock was fine. the skill scales on dex/energys, 25% dex, 25% energy, 50% vit is what i did.

[ParticuLarry]

I'll give it a try after my proc based build. What gear did you use?

I'll give it a try after my proc based build. What gear did you use?

mostly standard stuff. the two tu scissor katar I think, witchunter cap, I think i even went with the witchunter armor as well for the fire proc and 2pc set bonus giving 75 dex and 25 all res, amongst the other stats the two pieces have individually. It's been a while so i don't remember too much else on the spec honestly. was early last season.

I like starting as UHM palyas you can get 120 and some 125 charms in t4 gear. I've transitioned it into a farming character using

Zohar (Xis)

since which works well

Well, I really love Twinfangstrike-sin. It's a shame that she drops off quickly since you simply lack damage at some point even with -135 enemy resist and more than 250% spell damage and lack survivability despite 60 k defense, 75% block, 4 frames animations 90% all resist and ~6k life (switching max resist gems with dex gems depending on the uber). So doing any harder ubers ist almost impossible unless you twink some essential gear that only drops in dunc, which you can't really farm with this build. Maybe it's just my gear choices that makes me fail. I'll probably try out a more proc-based TFS run at some point. But I definitely love the smooth leveling and quick attack speed of this build.

Putting that aside, I also loved lightning sorc. Tempest is a really fun and easy main spell that easily allows you to farm dunc with what's essentially Tiered unique gear.

There are quite a few other builds I like, but listing them would probably take forever.

Can you share your lightning sorc guide with me??

Currently:
Unholy Melee - I like having a lot of life, its not great without Radiance but not horrible overall it's a pretty good spec.
Unholy Caster / O-skill Caster - Use Unholy caster to level and transition into an oskill after 120/125
Poison Sorc - I just like farming with Lorenado

Graveyard (Builds I really enjoyed before major changes):
Holy Melee Paladin - RIP after Dragon Morph removal - Big difference in attack frames, still viable just not fun for me anymore.
Barrage din - RIP after Dragon Morph removal - No longer viable with a 9 frame attack :feelsbadman:
Shuriken Assassin - RIP after Global CC changes - This one kinda got the short end of the stick... yes you can make it work but you will have to invest a shitton into it and it's not viable as a starter anymore... even with good gear it's mediocare.

I like Unholy Pal in general, melee is just breddy gud overall, and caster is versatile enough to work with his own spells or oskills; for this patch I went with rising dawn and it was good, furthest I ever got with a build. Didn't get to try the loved/hated tribeam, cause didn't manage to find a wizspike(I'm on SP so no trading). Either way though, zooming around with rapture and either hitting stuff or throwing spells at rapid fire speed is fun.
Summoner Necro, for his relaxing gameplay and the ease with which he can do a lot of stuff on an almost nonexistent budget. Skeletons + hawks physical build is my go-to.
I also like Caster Sorcs in general but haven't played one in ages, I'm retarded with them, always hit a wall around ~120(no survi, no damage or both). Still fun to play though, I have to give one a shot this patch if I can find the time, and if not then I'll start with a sorc in the next update.
Used to love Bowzons back in the day, but ever since ecstatic frenzy became a thing(yeah I know it's been a while) I keep dying all the time. Although last time I played her Trinity still added flat elemental damage, now it adds pierce and %phys res, so maybe things are different. Would have to give it a try.

[nazh202]

- Unholy melee pal: first char that got me pretty far on self-found items.
- ATMG sin: just sit back and relax, good farmer.
- Poison throw barb: I was shocked when seeing bosses melt with Snake bite, best boss killer ever.

Well, it's not really that spectacular.

Stats: Str for gear
Dex for gear
Rest Energy

Skills:
Max: Tempest / Thunder stone / Warp Armor /Living Flame
Nova Charge Enough to get the max bonus
Rest Familiars
1 Point Mana Sweep for quick mana regen

This is only early game skills since I liked that living flame makes potions unnecessary. Later on I switched to Frost as a 2nd tree because of Ice elementals and Snow Queen

Also 5 points into Symbol of Esu
and Max Witchblood for the life after each kill

and Honorific Boots

I was able to farm duncraig with that setup. But the lightning immune enemies in duncraig annoyed me which is why I discontinued that build.
Set doesn't look that appealing to me to be honest. I'd rather go for crafts for midgame to get enough -enemy lightning resist.
