Making a pvm sin just to Fuck around.
Any guides out there or suggestions.
I'm thinking nats set with chaos and that's it for now..

If you're utilizing WW I suggest venom/fade combo

Wait, does Nats give fade or is that a skin?

- Guilli

- Eth Upg Bartuc " Zod "

- Eth Jade " Zod "

- Enigma

- TO's / Mages

- Arach

- Gores

- HL

- Fcr Ring

- Raven

Or something like that, should work with Dragon Claw. If you want whirl then swap Jade to Chaos.

The elemental skills would work best with their AoE when comboed with an infinity merc, but I'm not sure which is the most practical when +% elemental damage is so wonky with what part of the skills it applies to
might be possible to do cold facets for a 1-2 release blades of ice build, but not 3 charges. No facets work with any of the charges on phoenix strike. Works with the 1 charge lightning on claws of thunder, but not 2-3. Added damage or explosion on charges 1-2 of fists of fire, but not the DoT on charge 3 and not the converted % physical to fire.

I'm trying to imagine, if you had a setup like 2x +6 claws with 2x facets each, facet nightwings, 4x facet armor, +3 ammy, +3 gloves, 2x sojs, arachs, 9x skillers + torch/anni, infinity merc
that would land you 7000 cold explosions on blades of ice on monsters puts to -100% resists. That's pretty crap even by melee sin standards
going with phoenix strike with no facets, using a +3 helm and enigma for level 60 phoenix strike, you can get 3-16344 chain lightning or 3588-3768 chaos ice bolts, both with rather scattered and unreliable overlapping hits but capable of multiple hits at up to 5 fpa

Use tiger strike

Nat's set with Chaos is a bad idea. With Chaos, you need as many +all skills items as possible to make Whirlwind viable. Using the armor and helm slots for items that don't grant it will leave your character really struggling for AR and damage with a low level whirlwind.

all points into whirlwind do is give you +5% AR and +8% damage (and +0.5 mana cost, which is a downside)
if you get AR or damage from anywhere else, its the same effect
a 40% enhanced damage jewel gives the same % ed as +5 skills
a 99% AR visionary circlet gives the %AR of +20 skills

Look into Sara's Rift sin. If you want more melee CoT with Phoenix is decent.

I'm using this build on HCL USEast. Its a really fun build to play with.

I believe it's just a skin unfortunately



going to experiment with this



ofc



damage from + skills is negligible
I can use angelics to get the ar I need and/or visionary helm



looked into this looks interesting-will give it a try

looking for more suggestions
