2 claw

Claw+shield never viable

In the above build, I would be using a 3shadow/teleport ammy

Would have dragon flight ready as well


I’m mostly concerned with the amount of life


you might find that clawblock isnt very effective vs many of the builds u face.

but im flying blind here, dont know about HLD ghosts and havent dueled any 49s. just a 39 hybrid ghost back in the day.

Oh tele Ammy not allowed?


Not in a GM tournament setting. The life/damage ratio at 49 is just absurd, and a major reason why MLD died was because of non ladder use if hybrid enigmas and tele charge circlets/amulets. Dealing HLD damage on 1-2k life pools, throw a skillless teleport charge in the mix and it's just too easy.

Tele staff allowed on specific characters was allowed to maintain some sort of viability/fairness. It requires a weapon switch and opens up vulnerability on a shield less switch.

tele ammys and circs are bm afaik. people tested builds like tele ammy nado druid and it was op as fuck and just forced u to run until charges were up.



2 claws? or claw and shield?

it looks viable to me, but i have very little experience building/dueling one tbh.



There’s only 25 charges are so, so they ran out quick. I didn’t mld on east, but I know for a fact they were gm on west.

they were GM on east for a time as well. but these new rules are mostly from EU, were dozens of tourneys and events have been held with 100+ page threads to make them. i think its a good idea to stick with them, since MLD on east and west was never nearly as tested and more of a pub thing.

It will be 55% give or take with only 1 point into claw block.

Pretty good ratio compared to the effort it takes to get it. On top of it blocks virtually every other move.

My main problem is how I’m gonna get to bowa’s as I see at this bracket they have a huge advantage. Not nearly as worried about esfb.

WW Barb shouldn’t be that big of a deal considering they will likely going weapon/shield, lowering their damage compared to my dual claw. We should also have relatively the same amount of damage, with a roughly 9.2% swing in my favor in to hit chances based on lvl correction alone.

I’ll likely have a better weapon than any mld WW Barb on ladder as well.

I’ll get it built and we can try it out. Given I have most of the gear already, and the stuff I don’t being pretty cheap, I see it worth the 500fg investment. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just donate the gear to the mld peeps.

I might not do Guillaumes tho. I’m guessing Crushing blow is pretty shitty in MlD. But I’m not seeing much of a better option. Maybe gaze.

Finding a 2os circlet worth using is going to be to difficult.

A 3os circlet might work for jewel stat vomit and high life.

Putting me more at the 1600ish life range.

You are kinda correct

It works as long as you aren’t running

WW doesn’t count as running :)
