Well Massacre Necro build is changed as the replacement skill carnage is a One point wonder extra ranks only add more % attack rating. I am also not sure if it counts as 1 or 3 attacks for on attack procs requires more testing.

now im at act 5 terror, enemies on the fridged highlands kinda hurts a lot, do i farm any particular places to transition into mid game gear? Found ath rune for the war scepter, but still havent found a single sacred war scepter yet.

for those arreas with high density of spell casting opponents you need to make sure you smax the resistances as recommended . you will find it easier to advance/farm in the worldstone keep than outside in the cold

you may use any other weapon to make that RW untill you find a sacred war scepter , and after you find one , you can just unsocket the rune /jewels and remake the RW .

as for farming places , i recommend terror Fauztinville as you will need a lot of shrines in order to craft that shield and gloves .

i believe that for now you are just unlucky , i personaly found arround 8 runes between 90 and 100 (got 2x ON) with the paladin , i also found a lot of sacred gear : greaves/gauntlets/sacred pally shields/sacred pally helms / no sacred Ancient armor , just inferior ones , but i'm still hoping my luck will get better

Sacred unique are Destruction only items, though Sacred Set item have a chance to drop in Terror Uberlevels based on current docs.

Hi,
I have to say that I do not like some changes in that patch. Melee necro is really weak now and Paladin (at least lazydin) is dead(and I do not like Paladin tree changes).
I still cant find right character for me. Melee sorc looks interesting and she does not look boring but fun

.
Can You advice some nice/not boring build which can work for newcomer like me? I know that you are short on time so most build still awaits for update but maybe there are some fun builds which will work on 2017 version? Thx in advance for help.

P.S
I do not like summons

first of all , my melee necro that used Massacre as main attack is at least as good as it used to be , if not quite a bit better with Carnage . i agree that the Parasite build was nerfed , but my build doesn't use it , so i don't care about it .

second , the lazydin is actualy quite better then it used to be . i'm not talking about the build that Potato did a few years after mine and now got screwed , i'm talking about my lazy build in this compilation that uses SoD and Demiurge + procs after kill/when slain -> those got boosted therefore the build itself got boosted .

"fun" is not always "efficient " . you can check the rankings of each build and judge what's best for you .

good luck !

So, I'm having issues deciding on a decent Amazon build, the bowazon suffered a bit with pierces being taken out from MOs, and I can't seem to push content with Stormcalling as a caster, is there any builds in your guides you recommend other than Bowazon? Pounce isn't my style but I like Javazon.

i am too going for a javazon in a few days after i finish my curent tests and updates on the paladins . it's always been one of my favourite starter builds as it's one of those builds that can do great in most ubers with cheap gear (TU's and crafts / runes up to ON ) .regarding the old skillplan , i will get the points from moonbeam and put them into fairy ring instead

Sounds good, thank you. I think that's where I'm headed now also.

I want to try barb but dont know what build. Maybe The Tank. Seems to be verry safe.
