Siberys I made that spirit/earth build you suggested I'm at lvl 8 right now and i have maxed terrion, and im just a little confused about the earth spells

Should i max earth enchantment, or brimstone, or both? If so which one first.

Also why did you say to max heat shield.....it dosnt seem very great.

THANK YOU!

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 12:11 pm

Ehh...not heat shield, the other one. Ring of Flame I believe is what it's called.

But yeah, Max out Ternion, Max out earth enchantment and Brimstone, and then finally, work on Ring of flame as well as a pet from either area. Lich king or the fire one, whatever it's called.

1 More question!

What atribute points would increase my Ternion damage. (ive been pumping int because it uses a staff, but now im confused because these earth skills increase physical damage, so im thinking that ternion is physical damage, so maybe strength increases the damage)

Also this is offtopic, but is there any plans (say in an expansion) of having a closed battle.net type multiplayer?

I dont think this game can be on the same level as diablo 2: LOD without a solid multiplayer

No, Ternion and all staves do intelligence based damage. They call it physical damage even though it's from a staff, as ternion only works with a staff, meaning intelligence will in turn, pump Ternion up as well.

i have two characters that i go back and forth play (one is strickly for when i play with a friend).

got a lv 17 hunter/rogue (only rogue talents i've got is the ones that add poison dmg or bleed dmg) and a lv 19 earth/spirit.

betweent the two, the hunter has a harder time with the game, simply because it takes so long before either mastery gets some type of AoE. and we all know this game is a fan of zerging. my caster just walks through the game since lv 1. not one death, and the only reason i get close to dying is because i like to run in and pull 3-4 groups before dishing out firey death and life leaching. btw, i tried (1 point) in Ternion (sp) and it seems to only shoot 1 beam. does it just make the 1 attack three times as strong? (before the -dmg or +dmg modifier from more points into the skill?) or am i supposed to be seeing three bolts from the staff?

my caster has a few points in earth enhancement and a few in it's secondary buff. got the lava pet and the lich, dark covonant, life leach, and a few points in each aura on the spirit side. i'm also putting most of my points into increasing the mastery itself so i can get the higher tier'd skills from it. think i have 26 in earth and around 16 in spirit. i haven't maxed one skill out yet, and still think the game is a joke, but i never get tired of laughing as volcanic orb sends all those little micemen flying across my screen lol.

I'm an Assasin

Rogue + Warfare

Dual weapons, poinson damage, bleeding damage, they all kick ass
I'm currently at level 27 and givin about 170 damage, about 160 per second
plus the Lethal Strike at max level (500% damage hit)

It's sort a hit & run moves, but they are also efective against large hords.
The trowing knives, also do lots of bleeding damage and poinson damage, (most of the times i just kill about 5 or 6 enemies with one trow.

It's truly a powerfull mix.

...

alrightie

that movie was awesome btw

but i play conqueror (defender/warfarew) and i dont think i will pull that off in 2:10

anyway , i play mainly with shield charge , and shield batter (i am main defender)

i have equip that enhances % strength and % health mostly , but could use some improvements ...

i am lvl 32 now and just killed typhon on normal difficulty , i died once by the flame spray , other than that , i have only 2 death in the entire first difficulty (and the other one was because i was paying attention to the TV and when i looked back at screen had 5 % hp left

)

i am curious how i will do in epic difficulty , but so far no problems , and i dont even use that many potions (obviously more than casters, but normal for melee)...

hope i can inspire some ppl to go melee, its not as hard as some might think !

I think that playing melee gives more of a chalenge later on than just blasting through the game with spells and such. So i have two different melee characters, one assasin (warfare + rogue) and my personal favorite, a guardian (defense + Nature)

My Characters

I have a lvl 65 Conjuer ( earth/spirit) and have very few problems ever , she has 3 deaths so far and thats from not paying attention. She is a very powerful build , and not very item dependant. anything that adds int with elemental dmg will bring your attack sky high. I highly recomend this build for Item hunters especialy for quick farming runs. Im currently working on an Orracle ( Storm/Sprit) she is lvl 32 and hasnt died yet. She seems to be a very powerful build as well. Trenion and stom nimbus combined are truly deadly. Same with eath enchantment and trunion.

I got a guardian (defender/nature) which seems to work quite well for a melee type.

Maxxed HOTO and other skills in that line for hp and resists.
1 point in refresh
that's it for nature

Defense I got pretty much everything maxxed, as well as 3 points extra from equiptment.

so massive amounts of resist (perm of stone + defiance), massive block rate and recovery (quick recovery + focus), massive damage absorption (colossus form), massive hp (HOTO + colossus form), massive reduction in freeze/stun/entrapment/skill disruption duration.

Also, defiance gives quite a bit of damage reflected, 60% maxxed, which pwned a storm/nature friend who tried to pvp me.

the three passive attack skills (shield smash,rend armor,pulverize) works quite often as I tried to get a nice and high attack speed from eq, 190% in colossus form with inspiration.

To top it off, refresh pretty much insures that you are in best battle position at all times.

A nice tank for your spell caster friends. I managed to hold off a crowd of 20+ creatures in act III legend until I killed them

oh, and shield charge seems to attack an additional target every two levels beyond the max? I got a 3 point increase beyond max and I can hit 5 targets. Same goes for batter and pulverize I think.

Hmm...

I was wondering, who should win the Best Build Award 2006, the oracle, or the conjurer? Or did some other original build that didn't get my attention should win it?

I started playing an Avenger (hunting/earth) and he's kicking lots of butt!

I'm at level 14 and so far I have been developing his earth enchantment skill, maxed out Wood Lore, maxed out marskmanship (moving up the skill tree), a few points in Ring of Flame (for when monsters get too close), and when my hunting mastery is high enough I'll also take Call of the Hunt for fighting bosses and/or large groups of monsters.

In Act 3, this build was starting to struggle especially when fighting those (i forgot the names) dragon-like monsters that run on all fours. Anyway, I ended up over-hauling the skill distribution. I took ALL the points form the Earth mastery and maxed out the marksmanship skill tree. I still had a few points left so I invested them into Call of the Hunt which is VERY effective but takes a long time to recharge.

i play a warfare/nature guy.. in wf i got all the dual wield techs maxed out, onslaught tree maxed out. in nature i got heal, heal recharge, hoto maxed out and currently i'm pumping up strength of the pack. i dish out quite decent damage (around 2500 dps with self buffs), got unlimited healing capabilities and some 5k hp. the first time i ran into big problems was in legendary act 3 but i fought my way thru. im lvl 51 atm.

Cold Fury · Post by **Cold Fury** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 3:48 pm

i'm currently a lvl 40 sum'n corsair, (rogue + defense)
i maxed out my rogue skills of poisoning, blade honing, clac strike, throwing knives, anatamy, and lethal strike, and am JUST starting my second mastery, it not that bad starting out because your lvl 1 skills are calc strike, blade honing, and envenom weap, so you can seriosly kick ass if you distribute your points the right way. unfortunately what the book says about roques are true they litterally cant take dmg so i added the defense mastery so i could use battle awarness, and rally.

damage per second

Hi, when I read that most mob's die in 2 blows with a 200 damage per second rate, I just had to react. My character is a storm spirit combination level 32, and it does 364 damage per second.
