Yo, I'm back at it! Looks like it's an Auradin build utilizing only bows this time. Let's get it!!
Rules n Stuff
- Diablo II Resurrected
- /P8 all the time (minus a few Hell rerun areas if /P8 just takes way too long; then I'll do /P5-7ish)
- Hardcore
- Bows only
- yada yada yada.. y'all get it. It's a funky build and should be interesting to see how it plays out especially in higher difficulties
Overall, my skill plan is this:
lvl 1-5= put a couple points into Fire Resist aura
6-17= Holy Fire
18= Holy Freeze
19-23= Lightning Resist aura
24+= max Holy Shock ---> max Holy Fire ---> couple points spread for Vigor and Redemption ---> max Light Resist then Fire Resist
At this point, if I'm still alive, the next step is to reach Lower Kurast (Hell) and camp for HRs to make a bunch of "runewords." Unfortunately, this is gonna be an expensive af build.
This is my Christmas list:
- "Hand of Justice" bow
- "Enigma" armor
- "Phoenix" bow (strictly used for it's Redemption aura for respawnable monsters lol. Plus Fire Absorb is nice is some areas) **this is a side piece; I can live w/out it**
- "Dream" helmet
- "Ice" bow
- "Chains of Honor" armor (backup for "Enigma" since I'll need the +all resists due to no shield) **would be nice to have, not necessary tho**
- "Dragon" /// "Treachery" armor (I want to be able to use "Dragon" to be able to have a tri-ele auras go at once, but I understand that "Treachery" will prob be the best end-game option for me as it's a blend of "CoH" and "Enigma"... but the Hydra proc would be so cool!)
- "Call to Arms" bow
- "Delirium" helmet (the Confuse proc on striking and Mind Blast/Terror when struck procs are just so nice to have for crowd control)
The part that I'm most excited for is that this build has the potential to be sooo versatile by using multiple elements for dmg (don't worry, I know it'll be pretty slow). I'd love to have multiple, diverse pieces so that I can swap out weapons, armors, helm, etc. so that I will never have issues w/ any particular enemy.
Lastly, I plan on using an A5 merc w/ "Lawbringer" or an A2 merc for Blessed Aim (only if needed). However, once I acquire at least my "Dream" helmet, I'll be using a respec to reallocate my skills to max Conviction and boost up my auras' synergy along w/ either Holy Fire or Holy Freeze.
HOWEVER! My goal is to also get an "Infinity" and go back to an A2 merc so that I can respec again to xfer my skill points from Conviction to Fanaticism. At the end of the day, I'll prob be prioritizing light n fire dmg to max my DPS.
In other words, I'm gonna need a couple years worth of LK runs to get all the runes heh
Alrighty, I've got some pics to edit, so I will post later on today. Hopefully I can make it past Act III Hell to redeem the fallen DMX (pure summoning Druid).
