Rising Dawn [SSF]

Taem wrote:It is interesting to me that some of the best classes use o-skills as their central attack, freeing up invaluable skill points for more passives. Does this mean most sub classes are outclassed by o-skills? It does seem that build diversity, the freedom to take the skills you would like to take, is geared toward o-skills and relics, at least if you look at all the top players.

it means that pala/barb/druid have actual oskill support for the handful of good oskills. (there's also a couple of usable but not great ones like orb of annihliation necro and atmg assassin)

though you can also play rising dawn as amazon and it's alright, probably even pretty good now with shieldmaiden passives

It certainly is good. If you look at top 5 amazons on HC ladder, 4 of them are Rising Dawn builds

What do you think about the full Zakarum set for Rising Dawn?

Sins this is a solo self found (SSF) guide I did not put any suggestions on better gear into the guide. Zakarum set itself is worthless sins Rising Dawn is phy/magic spell damage. But yes I guess you could use the belt and have a non Rising Dawn weapon or a super nice craft. Personally I would not use the belt sins +22 skills more or less makes you way way to close to the cap of 28 skill level for my taste.

But lets talk a few gear recommendations that you might find yourself while playing Rising Dawn.

The two set bonus of the Yaerius set is insane and the belt and gloves drops are very common.

drop that is an insane item for the build.

Shrine crafting with an enchanted Shrine on a sacred yellow light plate can also be a huge boost to this build.

Its rather easy to roll both phy/magic spell damage and two of the following affixes.

Magic find
All attributes
Physical damage reduced

Curious what you would suggest changing on this build, Usling (if you don't mind my asking of course).

Currently doing 10k-12.5k Rising Dawn damage

I got one in the first 10 tries gambling , now 2 .. but the other one blue and nothing on it lol both Gotenbergs

any tips on struggling with mana early on? I got TU's and honorofic, gems stacked with energy. Lacking mana is a big issue

you will allways have mana "problems"

Its all about the mana regain.

Aka most important is to mo your rings and amulet with 5 x mana reg mo.
