So I am currently working on a lot of builds, the one that actually caught my attention the most was the "2hand sword amazon" suggested by: "iwansquall".
So that is where I started and that is what this post is about. For my builds I have only ONE test, the ability to run "Tran Athulua" on Destruction difficulty. This isn't the greatest test and doesn't prove much of anything, however I'm mostly just looking for creative and fun characters to farm with. That being said, here is the build
!!!!!!
Skills/StatsFor my passive "Devotion" skill I chose: Smax Lioness, this grants weapon damage, attack rating and defense! Exactly what a 2hand build needs. Since I don't have a shield and my damage is based on strength, we're putting 100% of our points into strength!
Nextly we max defensive harmony and balance. I put enough points into WaF to hit 95% FHR (on the ability) and +20% velocity (7 hard points total, but the ability is at lvl 38).
For my last tree we have War Spirit, an obvious choice for ANY amazon build using weapon damage. Next I put 1 point into the curse "Spellbind", because I hate skill switching and figured I'd be shunned if I didn't lol.
Now we get to choose 1 of 3 skills on the bottom here... Curare! I want to spread damage with War Spirit (synergies with my gear too!).
Gear:How does this work? How does one farm T/A with a 2hand-zon? Fully twinked of course... obviously...
Please note! I did NOT MO or socket ANYTHING. I want to preserve my items in case I need them elsewhere.
Weapon:Carsomyr Flamberge (SACRED)Our main goal is AoE damage. Shower of rocks is huge here.[/i
Armor:
Helepolis Spangenhelm (SACRED)
[i]Crushing blow, %DR and Defense!Natasha's Legacy Gothic Plate (Runeword)Is there anything bad about this armor?Gulag's Frenzy Heavy Gloves (SACRED)Broadside is awesome!Nero Plated Belt (Runeword)The best thing about this is Fortress for us. We want to take down many enemies quicklyTitan's Steps Heavy Boots (SACRED)The damage is awesome, but crafts could have been better here I thinkJewelry:Klaatu Barada Nikto AmuletI do not have beads of the snake queen...2x Ripstar Rings, I like the max damage a lot!
SWITCH!!!Did you see this coming? I bet you did...
Qarak's Will Giant Sword (Sacred)I do have this socketed with 4 "nih" runes. It's too fitting not to use!!Here's some T/A! (strategy is to attack until you hit 1/4-1/3 health, then run away while your procs heal you and LaeK, then return to smashing!)
I can't take a screen shot while I'm fighting because the "Function" + "Print Screen" keys are opposite and my hotkeys are all over the place (I use F1-F12, QWERTY, ZXCVBNM & 1234) sorry >_<
