Achilles

The True Path to Immortality



About:
This guide is a collaboration between TgTalcon and myself. We have spent countless hours theory crafting on how to make this build the best that it can possibly be.

Be sure to check us both out on Twitch for streams and updates:

Build Explained:
This build runs on 16 second timers, it's a rhythm you will acquire if you choose to play this build.
You must continually cast Demiurge and Sacred Armor every 16 seconds, they will both keep your gear equipped and keep you alive. Vindicate and Rapture are useful to keep up as well for extra regen and increased speeds. Our only "Achilles' Heel" if you will is not being buffed.

Besides the buffs, it's very simple to play. You just run around and your vessels do all of the work. Once you have acquired an

It's definitely an option, if you can get TU4 with +4 skills it may edge it out with damage though, I would have to test. I plan to compile more options for leveling, perhaps I might experiment with a completely different spec until you can reach mid game gearing options, I was thinking holy paladin may be a bit smoother in hell and acquiring early charms.

may be an great early game item, cause it actually gives phys Spell Damage and has a little more room for MOs. I think the res problem can be solved by socketables and MOs while maintaining a higher damage output than

yes both are viable options, and yea I intend to do a full charm run tomorrow night and stream it, most charms 105-125 and post highlights here.
should give people a good idea of the build's capabilities, will probably mule every charm I have beforehand to make things more interesting :)
