Mortred -> won't ice elementals get unsummoned after you switch back to main weapons?

no , they won't . that's the beauty of it . 25 extra tanks and the 25%DR aura are just great to have arround

Terrorblade...MO ...mid game armor set pieces

mo those set parts to reach the maximum (350% ) ED (enhanced damage/defence) . After that , mo them with -enemy resists to cold and fire to increase the damage of your procs . many of your opponents have resistances to spells , so by lowering them you will deal higher damage . It would be ideal to reach -100% enemy fire and cold resist .


your conversion to fire when using Iron spiral will also benefit from this + the elemental damage to weapon from Nephalem Weapons + the flat elemental damage from the swords / Nero .


good luck !

Thanks man i appreciate it

On one more note, what would be ideal axes to use in the offhand for using Deathgaze?

[Gekko64]

now that you mentioned it , i will add this remark on the build description to avoid future discussions about "my elementals die wtf is this "

in early game ; you won't be needing DeathGaze it in mid-end game

What should I MO my gear (besides amulet and ring) with as Javazon? (Lagertha)

[ChuckNoRis]

reach the cap of 350% ED for each item . after that mo with -% enemy resists to increase the damage you deal with procs/elemental damage to weapon from gear/ the fire conversion of fairy ring .

[niursz]

I'm thinking about trying a mortred build, but i have doubts about the survivability of the summons in mid-high ubers

with the gear you recommend for the mid game, how do the bats and elementals fare in places like duncraig? without considering barrel deaths, obviously

another question: i've been trying the kwentrith build, and it seems very slow at the beginning. when would you say it begins to shine? when limpet laser is lv 10 and gets a second beam?

thanks for your work

[ChuckNoRis]

with the

Laz's Chasuble

+ socketing jewels with minion life it's won't be hard to go over 50k hp bats (you can go over 100k in end game) . they innerhit the avoid from perfect being + the 25% DR aura from the ice elementals . they are more than viable even with the mid game gear . What doubts would you have at over 50k hp , 25%DR and over 50% avoid for each of them ? (50% chance to avoid stuff , including Duncraig barrels ) they are the strongest summons in this game imho

+ don't forget to use the Charm from Batstrike to increase your army in every spot where your opponents are getting serious : you charm a few , kill the others that are not charmed , when charm goes off kill the first ones that got charmed .

as for the limpe laser , yes , it gets better and better with more limpets 10/20/30 points into the skill . Using Psionic storm as a main attack in early game is a better way to level untill you get more skillpoints into Limpet Laser , this if you can spend a lot of points into energy and equip gear with low requirements . Socket some -%requirements jewels if needed so you waste less points into strength

[niursz]

i see, i was playing it wrong... i'll try again with that in mind, thx

about the bats, i remember using them in a past patch and being forced to resummon them every time (that's not too much of a trouble as the summoning is also the main attack, of course), as they died like flies but the PB was bugged and did not affect them right? i guess they should tank a lot better now

[ChuckNoRis]

about the bats, i remember using them in a past patch...

i haven't used them since the Omega patch , the last time i've updated Mortred before XVI . They were great back then , they are even better now - they were capped at 10 familiars , now you get 1 familiar/point into batstrike -> 3x larger army . I have no knowledge of what happened with them between MXL Omega and Ultimative XVI , because i didn't play this build for a few years .

good luck !
