I was trying verison with wyrms, but it is hard to balance fire damage/pierce with minion stats, and spell ends up doing fraction of damage that scourges do.
Melee hybrid seems like better choice. I'd even go further and try to spam DJ on top of scourge. It doesn't cost you that much to have ok melee dps + minion stats.
I'm wondering about Wyrms - wondering if aerial tried using Frozen Breath or Drakemaw as the Holy caster skill?
The reason I ask is because the latest suggestion is to drop Plague, so I'm thinking what's left to make me use the holy melee tree? Sure there's Colosseum, Dragonheart and DJ but...Once we get DA do we really need Colosseum?
To use DJ we need to be in melee range and that can be dangerous.
Dragonheart - ok defence is good if we're in melee range. If.
So if there's a good - or even worthwhile - holy caster skill we still get to boost the Scourges and do something useful from the safety of range, with DA to get around.
Better still, we can pump mana instead of dex and re-cast Scourges as needed. Maybe even with a Sorc morph item for cast speed (just thiniking out loud there, that's not a part of the build thoughts really).
Does anyone have any experience of Frozen Breath or Drakemaw against ubers/bosses?
Those skills works only after you cast solar flare, and with other stuff going on like positioning yourself constantly, I doubt you will have enough time to do much recasting. Solar flare -> Drakemaw / Frozen Breath -> Move -> Colloseum + Minion buff... Well at least that is not the playstile for me, but if you're okay with such tweeks try it out and let us know how it goes
I see the intention, I was thinking myself the same, but if you don't have the time to cast it more than 7-8 times without moving around, I don't know is it worth it. As I mentioned earlier as well, due to summoner gear, damage wouldn't be so great.
If such skill is needed, I'd rather invest in an item that gives you some party buff skill and stick with that. Furthermore I have already switched my plague points into Dragonhearth.
