Hell Act 5 Baal wave

kicksins don't get damage from specing for melee. kicksins get damage from proc% and cb% and other gear based stuff. what he is doing investing into traps to support melee is the correct thing to do. boosting dtalon or other melee abilities wont do much in hell.

but yes vouch the crescent moon pb for the character.

crescent moon pb is actually one of the best weapons for pvm kicksins, especially while leveling up and while choices like stormlash and rift are just not an option.
itd + static is the key. crescent moon + guillaumes can pretty much carry you through hell.
also the weapon allows for fade setups since the ias bp isn't that bad. if you have the runes for this sp item it is worth making imho.

Cheater? How so? To not dying? Save & Exit is not very fun to do since you have to run and kill all the monsters again.



Top1 reading skills there!



Yeah I though about crescent moon weapon for me but I doubt I'll be finding phase blades anytime soon. Thanks for the tips. Now I'm really unsure what to do with the um. Static does sound really good but I feel like my merc could do the same. Obviously he dies alot (atleast atm) but maybe that would change with a higher damage weapon (more leech).
Saving the um 'till I find some good base for it

Edit:



Found a 2 socket Grim shield so made new "Rhyme" into it. My stash and inventory are filling up with runes anyway so why not Defence went from ~300 to ~430

Found rare circ with 1 amazon passives skills and about 10 str and dext and some fire res. The reward from Anya was useless.

BUT FUCK. My graphix card keeps fucking me up and my computer crashed after I completed the quest and now I don't have it anymore! Damn.. :/ Need to run it again.. Atleast I know the map this time so won't take as long.

So I rescued Anya again but no goodies. Now searching for loot in the Drifter Caverns

Sweet melee gc. Not for me really tho :/

Was worth going there I suppose

I think you will seriously love those my friend.

Glad to see you've chosen a build that might not break your stamina completely. P8 solo in Hell is horrific unless you can do some damage, and this girl can dish nicely

Overconfidence is my guess... (at what will kill you).

Take care and look after those gloves!

Since I'm not going to need the Lum for passion, treachery or crescent moon I think I've changed my plans a bit.

I'll make "Smoke" into 2 soc Ghost armor I found earlier. Then when I find my lem I'll give it to my merc. And make crescent moon pb for my girl. Sounds pretty good to me. Smoke would solve my resistance "problems" for quite a while.

Incase you are wondering, yes, I am still using the "Stealth" bp I made in normal act 2

My resistances atm:


LOL just realized that I don't have any Nefs left.... Damn.


Thanks! I'm afraid of that too. It's been pretty easy so far but from time to time monsters do surprise me and when they do they can almost 1-hit me (uniques boss packs). Those are pretty scary moments.
Nice to see you around

act 1 andy

Ancients:



Holy crap those guys were hard Had to use life tap all the time and eventually even ran out of charges Took me three attemps before I finally defeated them. On first try merc died instantly and second time I ran out of potions.
Definately the biggest challenge for me so far.

Because someone asked for my skill setup I though I'd post an update of my stats, gear and skills. Unfortunately no real upgrades gear-wise
