Phoebe, the Hammerzon

Ok I just managed kabraxis. I did a new kind of strategy. I run away a screen then spam hammers so and wait for him to TP ontop of them then I instantly run a screen away and keep doing that. I managed to kill him after about 5-8min of doing this. Am happy now hehe. The quest goes on!

Yea, that's also a possible way but much riskier because if you die, that's another 7.5% hp back to him. But if it works, it works.

Wait does he get a perma 7.5% max hp increase when we die, besides healing to full??

every time he kills something (minions, reanimates, you, merc, etc) he will heal 7.5% of his max hp

Thank-you Crash for the great mini-guide! Quite helpful!

Do you at all recommend the Zerae's Divintiy Set for a starter set of gear? Or just focus on going from TU->SU items?

Thank-you again and all the best!

why we focus on dexterity ? and why nothing on energy if hammer of zerae has synergy ?

The energy synergy on Hammer of Zerae is only for the Lightning Damage portion of the spell, which we don't scale. We scale pure Phys WDM. That's also why dex: Scepter Damage scales off of Dex.

I actually have a question though. War Spirit feels really weak. Like yes, 20% crushing blow sounds nice but afaik it doesn't work on anything where it'd be worth. The only time I can remember it coming handy is tree guardians in Torajan Jungle. Why do we max it?

probably because we have a fuckload of extra skill points and nothing better to do with them

on an unrelated note are there any other SU's anyone would recommend? preferably slightly off meta (cheaper) but still better than TU stuff

Zerae's is a very unique setup compared to what we use. You can make it work, I'm sure and the full set gives Divine Judgment which you can use for bosses or general play. It's pretty strong without much investment because of how that skill is, but otherwise I passed on it.

Dex for %EWD to the scepter as well as gaining more block.

Crushing blow just doesn't work on bosses, otherwise you're taking huge chunks out of mobs when farming and playing through regularly. Plus a bit of extra skill points to use, but mostly because Hammer/mag field both multihit and CB does wonders with those, even with Thundercrack.

what's the MO order for SU's

i'm not quite 120 but doing the MO's in the order on your list on a Legion Scepter would have me with lots of cast speed but 0 life leech (req 120) - is this accurate?

I was under the impression life leech was the only thing keeping my sorry ass alive
