Flaming/rabies-Someone said they were still somewhat effective even after the carrion bug was patched.

What's a drop barb?

ok yeah fc/rabies used to be very popular, but that was indeed back when they got boulder from stone & poison creeper from carrion wind
which meant they could actually have great damage on both and dump points into lycan/oak, which made them beastly. Even if they still sucked vs teleport

But they simply don't exist any more, since you can't get more than 2 synergies to FC, and thats with 1 pt lycan/oak They're largely replaced by Fury/Rabies hybrids.
I suppose it could still be possible, but I think it falls under the category of "Hybrid builds that are possible, but don't work well enough to mention"
Heck, back then, you could pull down 35k+ rabies and 9k+ fireclaws and still get +450% or more life

Like you could make a Valkazon / Bearazon hybrid, but it wouldn't really be any more notable than either of those.
But a Hammer/Foh pally is notable enough to call a Mage.


and a drop barb is a very berry bad thing

Mmmm, looks good. I've actually been theory crafting quite a bit. I'll add them to your list later.

ive made just about every single one of these at some point, but I don't know how many more possible builds there are

i got a question... aura necro?

i was playing on hero editor today and i found out that the necro curse, lower resists, takes away immunities at a high lvl..
if u used this and some auradin gear like dragon armor, dream shield, dream helm, hoj phase blade, etc. wouldnt this build have the same effect as an auradin if u stacked it? and it would have a wider radius than the pallys coviction aura

i got an answer. no.

and u wouldnt have to run around with conviction on all the timeu could just cast lower resist then switch to a skill and run through

message me if u have any ideas on this char please i really wanna try it

I'm not listing PvM characters because anything and everything can work in pvm. And the concept is dumb because your auras will do no damage without a glitch, and even with it, a paladin using a lower resist wand can do the exact same thing, 10x better, and he already has conviction which is utterly redundant and superior. In pvp its worthless even if you did stack it.

Wait, I might not be reading this right, but you played a bow paladin in pvp?

if that palidan is using a lower resist wand then they cant use hoj
