Holy Melee [1.3] WIP

Might be a dumb question but does retaliate trigger on melee procs? I feel like it does but im not 100 percent sure

It does.

Sorry, newb question here. Im currently in Act 5 on terror and between act 4 and 5 I have had terrible luck making it through without dying constantly. Im in full T6 and at 78k defense with resistances maxed at 79 so far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Try to get your act 3 somewhat geared. Any sacred piece you can find craft it with either fascinating for fire merc or ornate for lightning merc.

Be on the lookout for any sacred body armour base and make the Kra runeword.. try to craft it before with the green oil for as much %ed as possible. Once you re satisfied MO 5 Enchaned Defense MO's and make the runeword. Also make a Nas Runeword in any Hand of God you find even T6 if not Sacred. The Bearstance will help you survive.

I tried Pwnisherdin in SP, and Cinadidie full set felt more powerful and more practical. Maybe for clearing purposes like Dcows Pwnisherdin is better, but was able to do more Hard ubers like Xazax with Cinadide. Just my 2 cents.

Wtf is punisherdin? You mean Venom Sting build? Well venom sting mostly for fauzt farming because its proc. For boss ofc Cinadide set is better because Bane and slow but meh. Its still ez enough with Venom Sting if you have max psn pierce.

I just picked up a khazra plate in yshari, should I use it or keep the SOTS for psn pierce?

[Pinball]

The only option that beats sots is ETH sots for Venom build. Otherwise I dont think so. If you use HOG then khazra is better.

@Bojacea btw dont know why you prefer krys gloves. Its slow sucks because only one monster you click into get slow, not all monsters who get attacked by Retaliate nova.

Actually i want to ask about other HMD setup (if its possible). Not by only changing weapon and then creepy/shimmering all other slots.

Krys gloves are for bosses only.

Okay, so I have done most of the +max skill charms and upgrades, so there's only one thing left to do and that is to balance out the skills. I cannot max all the skills because there are simply not enough skillpoints available. I also got all the skill signets from Torajan Jungles. I assume I can eat max 3 of them so that will kind of leave me with a choice to make.

I have decided to go for:
-max Dragonheart, and Blessed Life
-put 10 points into Colosseum for max CD reduction and as many points into points into Rapture until you get 50 velocity.
-put 1 point into everything else, including the spells.
-rest of the points go into Dragonknight

I have put points into the skill that gives life leech when solar flare is active so that it is at 45%, this helps a lot. If I play correctly and keep solar flare up, I cannot die in Tran. Sadly trophy hasn't fallen for me yet so I miss out on 5% DR.

What I'm wondering about is, if there are any good prebuff weapons that we can use on switch. For example the SSU that gives Beacon, or something else?

Shamanka for bloodlust proc.

[fakme]

or quaraks, for more dmg

As they said shamanka or Qaraks for bloodlust, the beacon spear would be really good. Also adrenaline rush rings give you rapture so you can leave your rapture at 1 point and have extra points. Thats kinda it, or at least, what i think would be good.
