All the crafts were garbage,
except for this ammy which isn't too shabby:



Putting one point into Thunderstorm turned out to be an even better idea than I initially realized.
Yes, it helps a little when spamming nova on cold immunes.
But even better, it's the perfect timer for letting me know my BO is about to run out.
When I see TS is gone, I know I have 10 seconds to re-BO.

TS - 160 seconds
BO - 170 seconds

Stormshield. There usually isn't a mob there ;0



I'm always finding +2 pala shields that would be good on classic.

So, Baal dropped me another GC. I stole some Pgems from my fire sorc on top of all the new ones I've cubed with Cryo,
and moved the amethysts and rubies over to the crafting page.
Let's see what happens with another round of GC rolling and amulet crafting.

Oof. Another one, so soon after the last one? I swear sometimes I feel like drop rates are on a secret rotation.
Reminds me of how long it took me to find my first stormshield, and then I found a second one on the very next run. -_-
(I've now found about 10, idek)




Also in this same run I found this v cute dudu circlet :0




(I was messing around with base vita but I don't think I feel very safe like this.
Amp damage seems to make physical attacks go right past my energy shield) :huh:

Blood Mana curse + the mana siphon thing. Baal wishes he could break my energy shield or get me to kill myself via blood mana.

The dual-regen is just too stronk.







YES :love: That makes Ber, Lo, and Sur since hitting 97.

So i've decided to make some changes to her build, back to the build she was using prior to her current setup.

At 96.8 i wanted to make some changes, so i swapped out her Shako and Spirit monarch for Nightwing's and Stormshield

This left her with only 28% block, 70% FCR, 60% FHR, 49% DR, only 54% MF, and no energy shield, but boosted her blizz to 6699 damage.

After some recent close calls, I've started to realize she was WAY WAY more tanky and safe with her old build, which consisted of:

50% Block, 105% FCR, 89% FHR, 24% DR, but only 4500 damage blizz.

How is that more tanky, you ask?

Well, it was an energy shield build with prayer and insight merc.

So in total she has 1111% faster mana regeneration, plus prayer merc.


I sacrifice extra cold damage for more points in telekinesis, ES, and warmth.

this is what she's looking like after just now making the change back to her old indestructible build:

And actually, before when she used this build I actually went for max block, which left her with about 1337 life and 1300 mana.
I also had more points in both warmth and telekinesis, which meant her blizz damage was only 3200.

But i'm going to try this balance out for the time being because i've been spoiled by the much higher blizz damage for the past couple days
and I just don't want to go back to 3200 blizz even if it did feel nice being completely invulnerable to almost everything.


Edit: on a side note, I did have to go back to only one point in nova for this build, so I will be stuck doing wave 2 on players 3 again, but it’s totally worth it for the long term survivability :)


very interesting to read. you talk about invulnerability with this build. but is it really that good? i mean if you used the standard max vita build you would only get killed by fana/cursed/extra strong moonies/archers/dolls. and i am sure with your build you would get killed too because your high regen doesn't do anything if you get pretty much oneshotted.
so even though your builds looks fine and chill against normal mobs who cannot kill you because of your high regeneration i think you cut down your dmg too much for literally no better survivability. after all you shouldn't die against normal mobs with max vita build either...

es is going to get you killed sooner or later.

gangel/stormshield would be a hype build, but ud have to charsi your coh and wear a vmagi.

gangel? guardian angel? i personally wouldn't wear coh (not even in hardcore) but can't wear 2 armors at the same time anyway.
