Phoebe, the Hammerzon

You can use Askari with Hammer if you want, but they're very different builds since hammer is wdm based and askari is spell damage I believe. I can't say much til I see in game with the new patch.

for the synergies, I think it might be default on skill icons in case they have available synergies. dunno, honestly

Sockets in Weapon: 6x XIS ???

1. Other than gloves and kodo these are more expensive but still fits right ?
2. Would it also fits Thundercack zon ?
3. When to switch to Curare ?
4. Can you stack innate bloodlust and oskill bloodlust ?
5. Is -enemy ligthning res important in this build, how much should we aim for ?

A lot of those are good options, sure. This guide is a bit old now so the items aren't necessarily all accurate

1.) Yea
2.) For the most part, yes.
3.) never, always paragon and fill sockets with amethysts for more dex (more block, more ewd). charms and maybe MO's should cap your resist, so switch sockets to all amethyst with paragon
4.) Innate + proc/oskill, yes
5.) Not really. this build is more physical focused and you already get a bit of pierce from the passive and some charms. Only reason you'd want more pierce is for magnetic field if you use that frequently.

how is this build on bossing?

isthisminecraft wrote:how is this build on bossing?

Spellbind and magnetic field combined with hammer of zerae can do well enough. More of a kiting playstyle to keep bosses inside the field/hammer zone

Heyo i wanted to ask few things

Is it possible to run labs with that build in t10+?

Also it seems that this build rely more on life leech and self heal than much HP and defense or?

I didnt make this build when labyrinth was introduced, so im not sure.

Well, I haven't played since S20 but I plateaued around Labyrinth 9-10. Took too much damage and hammers were ultimately ineffective/negated by narrow corridors/hallways. To mention nothing of the numerous Hzon-unfriendly Uber bosses that potentially spawn in the middle of your level. At the end of the day, mobility is integral to success in higher DLab levels and Hzons simply don't have the mobility/sustained damaage needed to thrive in such confined spaces. Haven't seen any major changes to Hzons since that season either so you're pretty much SOL. MMzons are really the only viable DLAB Zons (Haven't played in 2 seasons so I'm not sure about Bowa/Jav but I can't imagine the changes made since then would make much of a difference).

Ah oky well, thanks for your suggestions im atm on my way up to 125+ and will try labs on 130+ and we will see how it will work currently

is this build still working, and if so is this build still good to run as a ladder starter?
