Gzeno,

I'm interested in your fire/blood build.
Right now i'm running full Hadriels with 3 piece Yaerius (helm, belt gloves) The set bonuses from both are impressive and i'm mowing down everything in my path on my way to 120. I'm slowly replacing stat/resists gems with ef/fire/phys/vita jewels.

I decided to focus on Grim Presence and Vessels of Justice + Life and Death for the higher damage vessels. This plays very much like a Nuetraldin. Since grim also boosts Divine Aparation, I find that one DA into a group of mobs weakens it enough for the Vessels to practically one shot everything. Yaerius set and Life and Death give +13 targets to Vessels so damn near everything gets hit. They are currently doing about 2.5-3.5k fire and 4k phys.

From there I'll attack with Blood Thorns. Tainted blood has me sitting at 200k def and that number is climbing quick as I get more charms. I still have to max Blessed life to hit 50PR. Blood thorns works extremely well for AOE. I can use lemures on bosses if needed, and Hadriels gives Mythal, so even lower resits for the mobs. Once I've reached high enough Vita, resist shouldnt matter. I need better rings and ammy's, plus 120+ charms.

My only negative will be the idea that I may ultimately have to craft sacreds to get better. I'm not even sure what to aim for.

It works though, and i'm not anywhere near done honing the build.

Very interesting setup, I'd like you to atleast farm to 125 and try fauztinville with this setup and see how it performs! Very cool!

Also see how this setup performs against most 120 ubers!

This could potentialy be a great farming fire setup, keep it up!

Edit : I have a few problems with this build since most pierces are not really needed, but like I said, keep the momentum and see how it goes from there.

Yeah, most of the gear doesn't focus on piercing. I even put some skill points into things that could be different, such as maxing superbeast instead of the FHR and dodge skill.

I will respec again after getting at least 120 charms. I loaded up on strength since I couldn't wear Yaerius belt. I'll see how that goes.
I also plan on grabbing a Hammer of Johlm. With the stats from the build, the fire damage and lightning boost from the Hammer will skyrocket. This we benefit from the pierce due to HP as well. The idea would be to Apparation into mobs and let vessels hit everything while using whirlwind to finish things. Without attack rating, whirlwind should hit everything! The procs will be insane.

I tried this before in a previous patch and was getting 40-65k whirlwind damage. The procs mowed everything down but didn't fire off enough since it's a 25% chance per hit and I wasn't hitting very often. The pierce on the maul is broken as well.

Both are good but going 3 pieces needs a bit more investment in shrine crafting. Going with this setup however can be really powerful with a good crafted weapon.

I just started unholy melee and it seems like blood thorns is superior than lemures.
